So I work infrequently with this woman, but we have spoken quite a bit while working, and recently hung out talking with a group of people at a work function. I decided to ask her out to see if there was anything that might come of it and did so on Wednesday when I next saw her at work. She accepted my offer to get dinner Friday but cancelled Thursday citing something coming up with her parents. She offered a rain check but didn't really respond after that. I texted her today and have not gotten a response of any kind. Did I fuck up or am I overreacting to her not responding today? Tl:Dr I asked a coworker out, did I mess up or am I overreacting to a text not replied to?

I'm a 25 year old guy that had braces on for a couple months now. I really needed them, but for insecurity reasons I never took the leap of faith. My problem with them on is I feel I'll have to wait another 2 years if I ever have a shot at getting a girl to like me. For context, I still try. I work out, try to eat right (lately I've slacked due to circumstances) and try to take care of myself. I'm doing everything I can to make myself a desirable person to be around, but I'm super shy. And I guess the braces add to that feeling and make it hard to even approach the idea of talking to a girl that way. My question is what do girls think about braces? Please be brutally honest, I'm not looking for pity or pep talk, just trying to take an honest poll to know what the objective view of braces are Submitted August 17, 2019 at 11:32PM I'm a 25 year old guy that had braces on for a couple months now.

When my boyfriend and I first had the 'Are We Dating?' talk back in September, one of the first things we agreed upon was that it was best to break up before we headed off to college. I was only applying to east coast schools, while he was only applying to west coast schools. It's the end of August, and soon he'll be leaving me. To be honest, if I had known 10 months ago that I would've ended up feeling the way I do, I'm not sure if I would have been able to get into this relationship. Somehow, somewhere along our relationship, he became my best friend. I had never been more comfortable with anyone in my life. I never felt more at home or safer or happier with anyone else. I felt like my chest was glowing all the time. Often I would question if what I was feeling was the result a first real love or teenage hormones gone wild, but as more and more time passed, I concluded that what I was feeling was real. If I suddenly jumped back in time, I know I would'v...

People always say that if they really like you they’ll make time for you? And I believe that Bc every time I like someone I always try and make sure I have time for them but every romantic interest I’ve had lately has just been too busy to make time for me. The guy I currently am talking to is 18 and I’m 19 he works 10 hr shifts and even sent me his schedule and then said when I’m free I try to take care of my grandma and like I understand that you’re busy but if you actually liked me wouldn’t you put in the effort to spend time with me when you could? I’m not asking for the world but I don’t think a relationship can or should be just over texts.

I started dating an amazing guy a couple months ago. Everything was going awesome until suddenly, after a weekend where he went to a music festival, he completely changed and it hasn’t been the same since. He became very distant and we stopped hanging out completely for weeks. He told me that he had done a lot of drugs at this festival so I assumed that he was just having a rough come-down but after a month of not hanging out, I asked him about it (we see each other frequently at work so having it fade out without addressing it would’ve been very awkward). I said that if he wasn’t feeling it anymore, then we could go back to being work buddies and just to let me know what he was feeling so we could be on the same page. He responded by apologizing for being distant and saying that he’s been going through a rough time mentally, he’s been speaking to his doctor about it and has started new meds to try and help. He said that he’s just focusing on getting out of his own head and “doesn’t ...

Matched with a girl on tinder, have had a great conversation since. After several messages I asked what her favorite food was. She quickly responded with pasta and I said there were great pasta places in our college town and asked what her schedule looked like next week. I havent got a response in the 7 hours since then. Did I mess up and not ask for her snap quick enough? Do I text her again? Really need your guys help on this on.

So I started talking to my ex again. We were together for around 5 months but ended in a somewhat bad way. I told him I loved him after we broke up which is why I’m so conflicted. Now that we talk again he stays at my house, invites me to his house, does all the “boyfriend” things more than usual. Although he does these things, he’s kind of distant. Sometimes I think he doesn’t want a relationship but I did tell him I loved him before & he came back? If he knows I have those feelings he must want to pursue it too right?

So I (male of 16 years) have liked this girl ( 17 years old) for a while now and I was pretty sure she liked me back too. Her friends had told me that she definitely had a crush on me.

I have no idea if she’s trying to get me jealous or if she just thinks of me as a friend. Please help!

So this guy and I have been texting pretty constantly and went on two dates (both times we got drinks) I thought it was going well and we continued to text after the second date. Then randomly in the conversation he read my text and didn’t respond. This happened on Monday so almost a week ago. Am I being ghosted??

Ok so last night I had made a session with my fuck buddy yo come over so we can parlay . I got home and called to say I was on the way no answer . No biggie . It was super late and I had to go to work today so I wasn’t bothered by it . Next thing I know the phone calls back. I pick up and there nothing . So I placed the phone on mute to listen . I heard a tad bit of a woman talk but I couldn’t make out the conversation . Then I hear him on his dirt bike riding . Ok cool. But as I keep listen it sound like he started walking somewhere . 60 seconds later I hear moaning for at least 45 seconds straight . I was stuck at that point. The phone mist have been in his pocket because it sounded like he was still walking while all of this was going on . 10 minutes into me listening the phone hangs up... I didn’t call back. Didn’t show up. Didn’t text anything . I went to sleep . So today he’s blowing me up and I told him what I heard . He then says it was the tv . J wanna believe that so bad but...

I've been on 3 dates with this girl I met through Tinder, we have a 4th date set up for Friday. Her response times to my texts are so slow. Sometimes it will be a day or two before she responds, sometimes 10 hours. Sometimes she replies fast. However when she does reply she seems enthusiastic. Our dates have all lasted about 3 hours. When the dates end she always says "when am I seeing you next" which I usually reply with "I'll text you" or something like that. The annoying thing is I could see she was logging into Tinder because her distance changed, and yet she still didn't reply to my text. I understand she is working and studying law full time but surely she if she was interested she would reply faster right? She seems interested in person and through the content of her messages (not her reply times).

Jumping the gun already because I feel like my BF of 11 months will never say it unless I do first. He’s not verbally affectionate or expressive, almost a robot actually, and I’ve posted my concerns that during the few days in between we see each other I have to be the one to text or call first because he doesn’t feel the need to. And I need that to feel connected to him but have accepted the fact that he’s not like that, he’s an introvert and doesn’t want to reach for his phone really... even though he did during the beginning of our relationship (albeit still rare). But yes, I talked to him last week and he made it clear he’s just not like that or needs that amount of contact and says he shows it to me and wouldn’t spend what little time he has left, with me. He works sometimes 6 days a week with occasional 12 hour days, kids, kids’ sports, etc. A few weeks ago, I had a little talk with him and it took a lot to get any words out of him on his feelings for me. It seemed difficult fo...

So this girl have known for about two years, and we have been spending time together a lot over the past 8 or so months. For the entire two years I've known her, I've had an interest in her. In the first few days of the semester, her boyfriend broke up with her. She had a rough few days after the break up, but she hasn't been getting upset about it anymore. The night her and her boyfriend broke up, I had been hanging out with her and our mutual friends. I was sitting on a chair next to her bed and she invited me to sit on her bed, then invited me to lay down next to her. (Obviously) I did, and I kept to myself without touching her because I didn't want to make any move while she was vulnerable. Our friends left to grab groceries, and I stayed with her to keep her company so she wasn't alone. We went for a drive and to grab fast food, and she shared a traumatic story that she hadn't shared with anyone else before--including her now ex-boyfriend. We went back t...

Toxic masculinity: if they aren't fucking or fulfilling the stereotypes of being in control all the time, they rage needlessly. And all it's for is to sate a conscious limiting ego created thru the image of how most people view gender via this lens. Even men who are 'sexually successful' will still act this way due to their egos not being 'nourished' properly. August 17, 2019 at 11:58PM
