I noticed her return when her chat bubble welcomed my groggy eyes during my work break. As soon as i saw that accursed bubble my heart rate went haywire and i felt a sense of dread and confusion only comparable to that of when i first had a car accident. She was back, and a small primordial part of me wants to reply but i dont want to. Not even the slightest. At work atm. Been fighting the urge to open that chat bubble. Not gonna send her any motives that I'll still care even after ghosting me on probably my darkest days in my life so far. But what do i even do at this point man. Just vent to some poor soul? Answer her, face the music and all that shit? Until i find for certain what she said in that chat bubble I'll probably continue living in fear of smthng i already know.

I took interest in this guy (19M) in my math class, after I caught signs of him being interested in me (I hope that this isn't a bad thing). I wanted to talk to him and get to know him better, so I asked him for his number. I asked him, a chemistry major, over text if he would help me study for my upcoming chemistry test. He said that he was extremely busy that week, and wouldn't be able to help me out with my test. It probably wasn't the best approach, but I don't really know him, and I thought asking him on a date would be too much. Now I'm worried that he thinks that I was going to use him, when I just wanted to spend more time with him. He didn't offer a different time that we could meet up, or check to see if I did well on my test. I think he's not really interested anymore, but I still want to ask if we could get coffee or something. I also want to clarify that I just wanted to hang out with him when I asked for help. I won't see him after this cl...

I'm not trying to be difficult, but I sometimes find it frustrating when certain guys/ potential dates ask me to show them around. Once they find out I'm a city native they forget about the actual date and ask me to instead show them around. I understand people believe it's a cute segway into dating and it's a smooth way of getting to know someone, but I don't want to be tasked with showing you around a city you can explore yourself. It's like becoming someone's friend just because you want them to teach you English or becoming someone's friend just so you can get car rides from them. It feels a little manipulative, like do you want to get to know me or do you want a map? It also seems like the "recently moved here" is an excuse for not finding a decent place to have a date. You can Google good restaurants and search nice spots to visit. Yelp is just as accessible to you as it is to me. And sometimes when a guy says, "you can show me aro...

So I've been seeing this girl for a little over a month. We've been on four dates so far and everything has been going really well. She's invited me to dinner at her house and I'm going to bring a bottle of her favorite wine. I thought it would be nice to bring flowers too, but I heard it can come off cheesy or needy if it's too early. Is it a good idea at this point?

I'd (24F) been dating this guy (29M) for about three weeks; everything was going great. We got along so well, and both agreed that it felt like it could be something special. He spoke highly of his feelings towards me, and I to him. We just clicked, and we both thought it was nice to finally find something different. The sexual tension was building as well and we were really looking forward to having our alone time. Finally, that time came around when I had the house to myself and we couldn't wait any longer. We were both so excited. And then we did it. And for some reason that I just can't figure out, it didn't feel right. It was like this amazing connection that we had built, just left. I feel so disappointed because everything was so great until then and we had clicked so well. I think back to it and I just feel so embarrassed, and wonder if he just wasn't attracted to me. Why does this happen? How can two people connect so well and have such amazing chemistry, ...

I (23M) am about as diehard of a hopeless romantic that a person can get. I strongly believe in the idea of the “one” and True love but I feel like that belief is only making dating worse and harder. I try not expect the possibility of love out of any possible relationship because it only makes me more heartbroken when I get ghosted or stood up.I keep telling myself to stay strong because it will be worth it when I find her. But I don’t know if I should just give up or keep hoping. Submitted November 07, 2019 at 11:56PM I (23M) am about as diehard of a hopeless romantic that a person can get.

Asked out a friend and ran away before she could answer about a week ago. This entire week went by we acted like normal and like nothing happened. I never felt any awkward tension or anything brought up. things actually felt amazing ( almost made me question did last week actually even happen. ) This is probally the best outcome as I didn't want to lose her as a friend. My conscious telling me just drop it don't bring up last week but at same time. This reaction feels pleasant but weird. Is this just her way of nicely not making big deal of this and still wanting be friends? maybe also my mind is trying to go through the process of only seeing her a friend and maybe wants closure? Would it be weird to bring up last week or should just drop it? Submitted November 08, 2019 at 12:00AM Asked out a friend and ran away before she could answer about a week ago.

Got a bit of a Dilemma there is this girl who works at my local game store and I can’t seem to stop thinking about her I’ve been there quite a few times but I think we’re just 2 different people so I’m clueless on what to do Submitted November 08, 2019 at 12:01AM Got a bit of a Dilemma there is this girl who works at my local game store and I can’t seem to stop thinking about her I’ve been there quite a few times but I think we’re just 2 different people so I’m clueless on what to do

So, early this semester i entered my college's band and rapidly befriended people. Recently, one of these new friends started jokingly adressing me as her husband, hugging me out of nowhere when I'm not looking, and saying things such as "i'll allow you to date (guy friend) until we get married" (i'm not gay btw). We texted a bit and it's pretty smooth conversation, not conversation killer type replies. I might just be really fucking thickheaded, but i still don't know if i should ask her out to the movies or something. I'm really into this girl and i wanted to get to know her better.

Any tips on how to get over dating/relationship insecurities? I’ve been treated bad in the past and am really trying to let those things go and not bring them into new relationships/dates...but it’s really hard to do when you’re trying to be over something and then the next guy treats you badly/doesn’t communicate well/ghosts/etc. as well. Maybe I’m just bad at picking them lol:/ Submitted November 08, 2019 at 12:06AM Any tips on how to get over dating/relationship insecurities?

Pretty much what the title says! Also throwaway account juuuuust in case. But here's some background: I work as a job coach for various people throughout the county in California where I live. I've worked with various people at one store(which is a part of a major American retail chain that shall go unnamed) throughout the past couple of years I've been a job coach. Recently, I've taken to doing paperwork in the breakroom(which is another of my job responsibilities when my clients are comfortable doing the job largely on their own) on my laptop, while also checking in with the clients who work at this store. Also recently, there's a girl who works as a manager in one of the departments in the store(I'll call her A) who, whenever I'm there doing paperwork, will spend her breaks chatting with me. Like, coming to sit down at the table where I sit specifically. She did this three days in a row last week and twice this week. And just today, A spent the entiret...

So, my boyfriend and I started dating a couple of months ago, and I did know that he was still technically married but their relationship has been over for years. They recently filed for divorce and he wasn’t single for long, he didn’t want to take time to get all of the things figured out, he just wanted to jump into a relationship with me, and they were together for 6 almost 7 years. She ended up getting pregnant and told him that if he doesn’t marry her then he would have no rights to his daughter, which at the time he was young and naive. And he wanted a divorce for a while but couldn’t do it because he was hoping for the best until she didn’t want to try no more, until I came along. And he just recently told me that he is overwhelmed from going from a relationship where they argued all the time to our relationship. I sat him down and asked him what’s wrong and he had told me that he thinks he jumped in way to fast. I knew what I was getting myself into and was prepared for anythi...

I’m 27F and work in IT...There is a coworker who I have bonded with and I’m pretty sure he is into me because he’s been flirty for months and notices little things like my favorite style of earrings and shoes I wear. He even noticed when I had a little crush months ago on someone else and then asked me if I was over it a little while ago. He initiates conversation through IM at work and also through text but never messages me on weekends. About 4 months ago I asked him to see a movie and he said he couldn’t bc he had plans and about 3 weeks ago I told him to HMU over the weekend if he wanted. He never did... do you think that counts as asking him out or counts as him turning me down? He’s 32 and has previously mentioned he doesn’t date coworkers but that was months ago and hasn’t mentioned it again for some time...Sometimes I think maybe I just need to make the first move and maybe he’s nervous but I’m a 5’6 and size 16 so I’m definitely curvy and he’s maybe like 5’9 and skinny so I f...

Looking for advice. So a few things to get off my chest, I’ve never dated or had a boyfriend before I’m also a virgin. I am so freaking confused about the dating world. I feel like I am some bumbling idiot on a Pixar movie. I get flirted with and approached but since I have no experience dating I’m kind of just awkwardly not knowing what to do. I don’t know the first thing about dating, about how to have a healthily relationship, hell what is healthy? Who makes the first move, is a relationship moving to fast or to slow? I literally have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to even approaching a guy. Does anybody have any advice for someone who’s extremely new and fresh to the dating world. What to look for concerning red flags? How to determine if the relationship is moving to fast or to slow? Heck how to approach someone or handle being approached. Sorry if this sounded a mess but it was a little difficult getting me thoughts out. Thanks guys! Submitted November 08, 2019 at 12:...

I realised a few weeks ago that there are so many situations in which you could meet that special person. Just look at how many people you see every day when you walk through town. Pay attention to the fact that there are people you are attracted to. And what you don't see is that there are also people that are attracted to you. One day there will be a situation in that you actually talk to one of these people and then it just happens... If it's meant to be it'll be. Learn to trust it.

I feel fucking horrible catching feelings for her. We met in college due to her taking dual credit. She has a lot of great aspirations that I find attractive and is super dedicated to school. We have a few things on common but I find it hard to really hold a conversation with her for the obvious reason. Everyone in person I have brought it up to says it's weird but not a huge deal and that just feels wrong. Am I wrong for having a liking her and thinking of going for it?

You helped me, your the reason my suicide never happened. You taught me what the purpose of life is. Who I will be with, and my future. Without you I wouldnt be able to write this. I love you!

This is my first post so be kind to me. The last relationship that i was in ended in December 2014 . I was dating that girl for 2 years. Fast forward it to now in 2019 after 5 years i still find myself single . I sometimes wonder why ? . Sometimes i feel something is wrong with me . Whenever i am seeing someone i always feel I don’t put enough effort to make things work. I badly want to be in love but I don’t want to rush into it because i get attached to people easily. I want to find that person and stay with that person forever i know it’s easier said then done. But i feel not being in love is just a waste of time . I want to feel things again, i want to keep looking at my phn to see if she txtd me or not, i want to kiss her just to have that headrush,i want to look into her eyes and tell her how much she means to me and I want to tell her how long have i waited for her and why it was worth it .i just need to find her to tell her she means the world to me and i for a second cannot l...

When I saw the pilot, I personally didn't see him as Ace, but I do think it's cool to have representation. However, asexual people can still date, and they can still be a "sexy Dom" as you put it. Those things don't change their sexuality. And to quote the great image meme "shh. Let people enjoy things." November 07, 2019 at 11:58PM
