Found out he's actually engaged and lied about his dad being alive...

I am just in shock. We matched on Tinder 3 weeks ago and have been texting and FaceTiming everyday multiple times per day since. When we matched he was visiting his family in my city but lives in another state (about 1000miles away) Anyways he got my number and we just had so much in common and everything was just flowing. 2 weeks in he booked his ticket to come see me for August 15 till the 18th. I dont wanna sound like a cliche but we just got on so well and we were talking about how excited we were to see each other. Then he started saying he was falling for me and hasn't felt this way in a long time. He was telling me he told his mom and sisters about me since they kept asking him why he seemed so happy and checking his phone all the time. He also told me he showed a pic of me to his dad and his dad said that I was way out of his league. He told me his dad is battling serious cancer and he's in the hospital and that he's doing stem cell procedure and giving blood to hi...

Religious differences...Possible to overcome, or unfair?

My OLD profile states I’m only looking to date Christians. Matched with an agnostic, end of last week, and ended up chatting a bit. This turned into hours-long phone conversations and one in-person date. We get along like we’ve known each other forever, finishing each other’s sentences and everything. I have never felt this kind of connection before. He says he’s been considering returning to Christianity (he was raised Christian). I told him I don’t want to force religion on anybody, but for a long-term relationship, this is very important to me. He said he understood, and expects that things won’t continue unless he ultimately decides to convert. I’m now losing my shit, because I don’t think it’s fair to either of us to pursue a relationship with this issue hanging over our heads. Expecting someone to convert in order to be with me feels like the shittiest move ever, and even if he did, would it be sincere or just to keep the relationship going? All the same, I’m terrified of hurt...

Jumping in again, wish me luck!

So, after some hard and tough work to get through the emotions of the “situationship” I was in... I feel like I’m ready to jump back in. I’ve learned from the last one and will take those lessons with me for the next! I’m hopeful, which is a far cry from a couple of weeks ago. Lets go, universe!

/u/zoidbergerest on Is it illegal if a minor dates an adult if they are both asexuals?

There’s still a power issue there. Minority rules are in place so that young people don’t get taken advantage of (in any way, not just sexually). August 07, 2019 at 12:00AM

Can a married man who's not monogamous join Match?

It looks like there are a lot more people on match than there is on OKC. I'm married and my wife approves of me seeing others. However, on match, there doesn't seem to be a box for married people.

How does a woman get out of the friendzone?

I (F30) am crushing on this guy in my office. We casually talk, we went out with a group once and he once invited me over to watch a movie, and to my surprise, nothing happened. I have a feeling he might be into me, but I have a hard time reading him. How do I make my interest clear and make a move on our next hangout without being too much? Get closer on the couch? Touch his thigh? Sexual innuendos? I am out of practice lol Submitted August 07, 2019 at 12:01AM I (F30) am crushing on this guy in my office.

My [25m] gf [24f] of 6 months thinks I slept with her friend before we met - I didn't

I've been dating my gf, L, whom I met on Tinder, for about half a year. Things have honestly been pretty great up until now, we've talked about what we want in life and we could both see ourselves moving in together in the not-so-distant future. We've had some small bumps in the road like everyone has but I feel like we've dealt with them in a mature way. A couple days ago we went to a social event with a group of her friends. I've met these people a few times but only briefly and I noticed there was some giggling and exchanged looks between them through the evening. I didn't think anything of it since I don't know these people and I don't know how they normally act. Later when we got back to my place we're talking about the evening and L suddenly stops me and says "Name... I know why you and A are so weird around each other, and it's not a big deal to me". A is one of her best friends. I have no idea what she's talking about so I...

I (27m) broke up with GF (26f) and feel so confused.

TLDR because this is a novel of just feelings, I apologize ; I broke up with my girlfriend because she chose to avoid me, make excuses, and not talk to me due to “stress” in her life and said she couldn’t handle a relationship right now. I feel I might have been too harsh. Been together for 1 year. So as the title states, I broke up with my girlfriend recently. It wasn’t pretty, but it wasn’t horrible either. To give you some background we have been dating for a year and the relationship was generally good. We lived together. And got along great. Until I went through a horribly rough time and had to take a break from schooling ( my source of income ) due to mental health issues. After that, everything went downhill. My girlfriend, as caring as she was, kept us afloat. She paid the rent and utilities. And I chipped in for groceries with what little money I had. We went from having sex 3 or 4 times a week to a completely dead bedroom overnight. And absolutely no affection from her. B...

i (19m) am conflicted about my feelings towards my fwb of around a month (18f)

we're actually both nonbinary but apparently i have to gender us either m or f. ugh. I have kinda terrible self esteem and mental health things and i have a history of having casual sex a lot and then feeling very very shitty about myself. i recently entered a kind of fwb relationship with someone i've been friends with for a while and it's been pretty fun and fancy free so far. they have a girlfriend who theyre in an open relationship with, which is cool and i'm friends with her too. recently though i've been feeling kinda crappy about it, for a few reasons. first of all i want a romantic relationship with someone and having this close physical and friendship connection is really making me feel the lack of romantic connection in my life. one of my bpd intrusive thoughts is that im unlovable and i kinda feel like im giving my brain fuel for the fire by having this fwb arrangement. i am also kinda not super attractive??? or at least that's what i think but i ...

How do I navigate this situation with a cleaner I hired or am I expecting too much?

TL;DR: Hired cleaner- she did a fraction of what I requested but charged me for the full three hours- to be fair she I was required to rescue her from a ferret despite giving her a heads up about them. ​ I hired a cleaner to let herself into my house and do some general cleaning duties while I was at work. I've never hired a cleaner before but I've been super busy at work and figured I'd rather part with the money and have a clean house than use my limited time off cleaning myself. When I contacted her via Messenger I specifically said ideally I was after wiping down blinds, windowsills, bathroom, vacuum and mop, skirting boards, surface cleaning, oven and fridge. I said 2-3 hours and that I would leave it up to her discretion. It's an older house and gets dusty. In saying that, I also realize as an older house there are flaws in the paintwork, discolouration of things in places. I in no means expected her to clean the house to a new standard, especially in the 2-3 ...

I [29F] can't convince my boyfriend [29M] that my male friend [28M] is just a friend

Hi Reddit, you've helped me in the past and I thought you could help me here. I am in a relationship with the most wonderful man I have ever been with, we've been dating 7 months, and we've been discussing marriage. I honestly couldn't dream up a better partner. He is everything that I want, with all of my heart, and I want nothing or no one else. I have a friend named Jake. We've been friends for several years, living in a small community. We get together and play video games and talk about whatever's on our minds. We both have anxiety so we try to help each other through that. We have never been in a relationship, have never tried dating one another, have never admitting feelings for one another. We have always been platonic friends and nothing more. BF had a problem with Jake early on. It seems I brought him up at an inappropriate time, and then after that every time his name came up BF's alarm bells were going off. He gets intense anxiety about Jake ...

I [20s M] was just disowned by my dad [50s M]

My dad never liked me. He always spent more time with my siblings, two who are older and one who is younger, so it was never because I was his last kid or anything. He was in the military when I was a kid so I didn't see him often. When he was home he didn't talk to me frequently. I came out as transgender as a young teen, he was always uncomfortable. And then, he didn't speak to my siblings or me for two years. His discomfort with our mother after they divorced made him try to move on from his old family entirely. He decided afterward to try again, we didn't talk much but our conversations were friendly and made me happy. A year ago I changed my last name because both of my parents were neglectful when I was a child and I felt a much closer bond to my grandparents since they practically raised me. My dad was convinced it was because I wanted to be closer to my mother, despite her name being different. I did it. He just used the correct last name for the first time i...

He(26M) said he is not ready for a serious relationship yet. What should I(24M) do?

This is going to be a very long story. Please bear with me. English is not my mother language so I am sorry if my English is not good. So I met this guy via tinder. We did not chat a lot on the app but instead we just decided to meet each other to grab some drinks. Our first meeting was amazing. To my surprise, I even open up to him on our first meeting.. I feel save and I feel that he listened very well and he meant it. Our first meeting started around 5pm and ended like 2am. No sex included. What we did were grabbed drinks, dinner and a very long night walk. I loved that night walk. We talked a lot of stuffs and during that walk we kind of talking about the relationship and he said that he is not ready for the relationship yet since he just quit a very serious 5 years relationship. But he said he really enjoy the time he spent with me. he then asked if we can have another meeting/date like this which I answered yes. He then escorted me until in front of my place and he gave me a...

Is my bf (late20s M) just saying he wants to get married because he thinks that’s what I (late20s F) want to hear, or has he really changed his mind?

My bf and I met about a year ago and immediately had amazing compatibility, and started dating exclusively shortly after. At this point, I continue to keep up and pay for my own apt, but I stay with him whenever it’s feasible. We moved quickly, and it’s been wonderful. When we were new (first 4/5 months), he always said he never wanted to get married. That the process (the actual wedding itself and the planning and costs) were stressful and unnecessary, and so he was simply not interested in going through it at all. At the time, I expressed concerns about this, because I do want to get married one day, and I can’t use years of my late 20s dating someone with such different goals. But lately he has been bringing it up on his own, asking questions about wedding preferences (food, number of people, altars, locations, etc). He’s also referenced the idea of having kids one day (I’ve been very straight forward that I would not have a child out of wedlock). Has he legitimately changed his...

25M Obese and Short. I hate myself because of my looks and because attractive women(20sF) don't like me. Everybody made it clear I'm bad looking, nobody in the world cares I'm depressed about how I go to bed every night alone knowing zero women love me or care about me.

TL;DR I'm fat ugly and short and poor and a virgin who still lives with his dad and works with his dad has no friends where I currently live and I have to live in an apartment with a bunch of middle-aged men because they all work for my dad and he's given them a place to stay and I'm depressed that attractive women don't like me because of my looks and because I don't have money and because I still live with my dad because I can't take care of myself financially. I'm 25. I'm fat ugly amd short. 5'5 250 lbs never a girlfriend or kissed still a virgin and no attractive women like me. I have a horrible life because women like Ria Ciuffo don't want me. All my friends have attractive girlfriends and wives i want their lives. My best friend is about to become a pharmacist my other close friend has just gotten in with a very big firm and it's going to make a hundred grand a year and I'm barely almost going to be 26 and I'm just now half...

Hooked up with ex-wife. Now what?

The other day I (45M) had my ex-wife (42F) over for to my house as she had to pick something up of the kids. She ended up coming in and stayed for a drink. One thing led to another and we had sex. We have been separated for 2 years and nothing like this has happened before. Not even close. We would go weeks/months without talking to each other. Now things are weird. She wants to work things out and I’m not interested. We ended it for a reason and I don’t think much has changed for either of us. The thought of getting back together now just to know we would end up unhappy again is unbearable. What do I do? TL;DR! Had sex with ex-wife. Now what?

Me M40 with my ___ 29F 3 years together and have one kid

Hired my mother in law to watch my children from a previous relationship and our new baby. So we could both goto work. Asked my mother in law to go early to my kids mothers house to pick up rain jackets and shoes due to the weather. Mother in law says she is just a babysitter and doesnt want. Even though the house is on the way to the school. I pay for her services, give her licensed, insured maintenanced 2014 top of the line Honda to use when she has my kids, a 2018 ltz truck when she doesnt. I fired her.

Does he seem interested in me? It has been awhile since I am into someone, so I want to try to make it work

We (M: 23 / F : 29) met at the music festival and the day after we went out for the drink clubbing and we kissed. We kept contacting but he was not a very fast responder and in the end he stopped answering. Threeweeks later he contacted me again saying he went to another festival in my area (he in in the army and stationed a bit far away) but I replied so late that we have not met One week later he contacted me again saying he is thinking to come over to my city and wants to see me but I already had plans so suggested him to meet the next week On this weekend we had such nice time and the week after he invited me to his town and we made a weekend trip to an island near there. I am very confused because He does not constantly contact me (the day I came back to my city from his town, he did not even ask me if I went home safe or so / so I texted him first and asked him if we could talk in the evening he said he will call me and never did-it’s been two days that I don’t...

My gf(22F) doesnt respect my(24M) boundaries when around ex-FWB so i told her its either him or me.

BACKROUND INFO: My gf and i have been together for 3 years. We've had our ups and down and we get together very well and have amazing memories other than this big re-occuring issue. My gf's main friend group who she hangs with about once or twice a week. This friend group is mostly guys and a couple girls who i have no issues with and i am very friendly with when around. HOWEVER - this group contains a guy who she used to be very close f**k buddies with. They have all been friends for a very long time since jr high or before and she told me the ex FWB "used to be her best childhood friend" and how many memories they shared. However since we started fighting about him she all of the sudden stopped regarding him as someone whos important or doesn't talk about him at all. THE ISSUES: when we first started dating she was very open about letting me know they had a past and they hangout in a group setting. I didn't at all have a problem with him although i could...
