I (19M) am deathly afraid of dates.

I would really like to meet people and I have met a few really nice girls on tinder and I would consider asking them on a date but my anxiety is just so overwhelming. Just thinking about a date gives me close to a panic attack and it’s really killing me because I really want an intimate relationship but I have so much anxiety. Any advice? I would really appreciate any help.

As a guy, what do girls do to make you feel more confident about showing your interest/ how to make guys feel at ease?

What kind of opener could a girl give you to make you feel more confident? Or in general body language? Basically how can a girl be more approachable and less intimidating to you...

Did I get ghosted?

M21 Went on a few dates with this girl, thought they all went great, a few days after the third texted her asking if she wanted to hang again, three days later she still hasn’t opened the text. Did I get ghosted? Should I double text her? Should I just forget about it? Please help me settle my nerves Submitted November 14, 2019 at 12:16AM M21 Went on a few dates with this girl, thought they all went great, a few days after the third texted her asking if she wanted to hang again, three days later she still hasn’t opened the text.

What’s happening here? Just wanting sex? What switched?

Hey y’all, wanted some advice. I think I know the answer but I want to be reassured, maybe get some insight on how to handle the situation. Been talking to a guy everyday for the past almost 2 months- he puts in a lot of effort to stay in contact. Texts, snaps, instagram, etc. That is important to me, because its bare minimum and if you can't even do that, what can you do? We ran into eachother at the bar last week, 1 day before we were supossed to finally go out for drinks. It wasn't a good run in- He came out only to see me but I didn't get along with his friends so I left. I made it clear his friend was a dick, and he apologized prosolusely. He then, the next day, cancelled his date. Due to family troubles. After that, he was not keeping in contact at all. I brought it up, a couple times and he said he was just busy at work. Whatever. We planned to hang out tonight- He wants me over for a movie. I tried to say lets get a drink first. He said he’d make me one. I tried ag...

m34, totally deaf to signals, please help

Hi friends, her = Min Brief Background - In the evenings before or after class for the last several years I've been going to a coffee shop, and one of the baristas there is just the warmest, most hilarious woman in existence. Chatting with Min is like being near a wood stove, the crackle of fire is her wonderful sense of humor! As Min's natural demeanor is so warm and open, I want to make sure I'm not misreading her. When we've chatted, Min seems interested in my life and asks a lot of great questions. She's covered my coffee and meal/snack before, and six weeks or so ago she held out her hands for me when I came in, and so we clasped hands in greeting. As my work is interesting to some people, Min asked me if I would be interested in speaking to her class (she's a teacher, paying off her student loans, hence barista) and of course I am, so I expressed as much. I had been out of town for a conference, so up till last night it had been a few weeks since I...

/u/68majic on Why people are not open-minded and accepting the idea of being asexual but accept that person can be bisexual or homosexual?

In the "olden days", when I was a young bride, they called women who didn't like sex "cold" I worried for years that I was cold, which was considered a very bad thing to be. After 38 years years of marriage and a decade and a half of being a widow I finally found the word asexual and it fit me to a "T". If felt so much better. My grown children seem to have no problem.

I might even consider wearing makeup if they had alternative labels like that November 14, 2019 at 12:27AM

/u/fljotafnott on Asexual Bard for DnD

My bard is chaotic neutral simply because I am too and I wanted a easy character to play. (And I can pretty much do whatever and nobody questions it) November 14, 2019 at 12:25AM

UGH I hate that they named it that! It’s a beautiful blush but really Nars?? November 14, 2019 at 12:24AM

10/10 would probably do this too. November 14, 2019 at 12:21AM

/u/RamenTofuCake on Why people are not open-minded and accepting the idea of being asexual but accept that person can be bisexual or homosexual?

People still dont understand Bisexuals either. It's not that hard to understand. Bisexuals like both genders. Asexuals are not attracted sexually. Sometimes they might want sex, but it's not out of a lust urge for a person. Aka I imagine Asexuals lack lust for people. November 14, 2019 at 12:21AM

/u/fljotafnott on How do you all deal with invasive questions

I tend to be very childish when people ask things that are inappropriate. If it's like a invasive question that's to learn then I go into great detail or if it's a stupid question like "did your tattoos hurt?" November 14, 2019 at 12:21AM

/u/fljotafnott on How do you all deal with invasive questions

Like just start telling a only slightly related story? November 14, 2019 at 12:18AM

I am a little unsure of how to proceed without seeming like a stage 5 clinger.

I'm 30, divorced for a little over a year, with a rich background of picking the wrong kind of partners. This time, I'm trying to do things differently. I have been ultra picky about what im lookong for, to avoid my past patterns and am looking for a dedicated long term relationship. But I have to say, dating at 30 is turning out to be much different than when I was younger. In the past, it was hard to get physical affection from partners, and most of them tended to be very closed off when talking about marriage/kids/etc. I guess in a simple way I see it now, they were more into hookup culture even though we had established an exclusive relationship. In fact, they didn't really talk about much of any substance or have goals, and were more into social activities and drinking. I'm seeing a new guy, only twice so far with plans for this weekend, and I honestly don't know what we're doing. New guy is the opposite of my past experiences. He has no problem having i...

☹️

What shall I do? Hey there fellow traveler. I am a high school senior who has not really been in a long term/serious relationship. The longest my relationships have been were from 2 weeks - 1 month and a half. And I was in 3 relationships total. One of my good friends recently got into a relationship and I am a little envious I will admit. I want to be cuddled and kissed and hugged on. I want a boy to spoil me and go on dates with. But the only guys I seem to attract are guys who want a fwb or wanna fuck with me, or guys who seem unattractive in personality and looks. I am 4’11, have curves, am a little chubby. I wear some makeup but don’t look like a clown. I am an ambivert. Which means I can be outgoing or shy depending on my environment. Usually I am either hyper asf or pretty reserved. I am weird. I’m like a half basic girl/ half anime fan girl. My self esteem is alright I guess. I don’t think I’m ugly but I also don’t think I’m super hot and attractive. I’m very loyal and sweet....

Wishing I wont wake up anymore

We had an argument last night that escalated pretty badly until she was thinking of separation. I really hate this kind of moments when you honestly didnt do anything wrong and she will gonna blame you of everything that didnt go well. I tried to talk to her and hold her arms her to relax her but she gets physical and threatens me that she will hit me hard. By that moment, I just rolled on to the other side of the bed and cried silently. Wishing and praying that I will never wake up today and if I still wake up, I just want to get hit by a raging truck or bus on the road. I love her but these nonsense quarrels and arguments has to end. Submitted November 13, 2019 at 11:40PM We had an argument last night that escalated pretty badly until she was thinking of separation.

M/27 struggling with poor sexual development and expectations

I am 27 and married to my wife F/27 for nearly 2 years now. We've been living together for 2.5years and seeing each other for more than 8 years. We only have sex every 3 to 4 weeks, if that. We enjoy it in the moment, but I have voiced that I wanted to experiment with more things. My wife is very vanilla and isn't comfortable exploring beyond missionary or cowgirl, let alone any kinks. This is problem number one. But not the only issue. I and my brothers were homeschooled our entire lives, taught by our mother from k-12. I didn't go to a "public School" until college at 19 years old. I didn't get the social exposure and sexual development that others get while in school. Being home alone with little to no friends for so many many years, and having easy access to an internet connection and the technical know-how to hide my browsing, led me to at least 15 years of direct exposure to hardcore pornography. This leads me of course to developing many "out-...

Do the tall, dark, and handsome version, seduce people, and then steal their food and run away while they think you're getting sexy November 14, 2019 at 12:12AM

/u/AcyAssGeek on A main character who might actually be aro/ace for real? Sign me up!

Huh, I actually didn't know about that other manga. Not sure about where you are in Shimanami Tasogare, but that's one damn dramatic, and pretty realistic, read. Is their previous work similar ? Would love to get more of their writing ! November 14, 2019 at 12:02AM

/u/Noel_Chatter on Asexuality Positive

You're absolutely valid no matter what, so please don't feel down about being who you are. And beyond that, the world is getting a bit crowded. I like to think of Asexualitity (and the entire spectrum) and the rest of the LGBTQA+ community as the solution to over-population. Obviously, that's just me here, so ignore my dumb idea if that doesn't help! November 14, 2019 at 12:01AM
