I was stood up on a Bumble date storytime/ I need advice

I'm a 20 year-old single female. Lately I have been feeling lonely because I don't have a BF so I decided I to try a dating app in search of a possible relationship/connection. Maybe my first mistake was to go looking for a relationship on Bumble.

I swiped right on a hot guy and he started messaging me through the bumble app. He said that I was gorgeous and that he wanted to meet me in person. He lives pretty far far away but he said he travels a lot so he'd let me know when he's in the area so we could meet for dinner. I get a text from him a week later and he told me he was going to be near me because he was on a business trip. I agreed to set the date to see him.

The first red flag was when he wanted me to find the place to meet him at even though the area he was in was literally in the middle of nowhere with little to no options for resteraunts. He wanted me to drive 60 miles to meet him while he only had to drive 12 miles from where he was on his business trip to get to the restaurant. He had set the time we were to meet for 8:30 PM. I went to the resteraunt early to check it out. I was excited, because it was my official real first date with a man.

I sent him a text when he still hadn't shown up at 9:00. No answer. At this point I am sitting in my car thinking to myself what the fuck did you get yourself into? I was getting so mad and was wanting to leave. It felt like a lifetime of waiting for this guy I met online that I don't even know.

Finally at 9:30 he shows up in a white jeep and walks up to me and gave me a hug. At this point I was thinking this could not be going worse. This guy has no respect for my time at all but I told myself I've waited this long and driven this far I might as well go into the resteraunt with the guy and get something to eat. So that's what we did. He seemed nervous but he was just as cute in real life as he was in the pictures. He was friendly. He asked me a lot of questions about myself and he also paid for the dinner bill. We seemed to have a lot in common and could talk easily to each other. At the end of the date he said hopefully I don't disappoint! We went outside, he hugged me and then we went back to our own cars and drove away. When I got home I saw that he texted me saying he wished we could have spent more time together and that he wants to see me again. Should I give him a second chance??? I need advice I'm new to dating and don't know what to do! I just wanted him do care enough to at least show up at a decent time.

The difference between being right and being understood

My boyfriend and I are 28. We’ve been together for about 1.5 years and recently moved in together. He’s a pretty patient and easygoing person (Type B) whereas I’m more particular (Type A). Of course there are two sides to every trait, and my Type A nature benefits us in some ways too. Like all couples, we have differences in perspective or preference. When this happens, he will usually say something like “I disagree (with your perspective) but fine.” I tend to push the issue in an attempt to get him to understand where I’m coming from. This escalates the disagreement into a fight because he perceives it as me trying to be “right”. I truly just want to be understood (and I want to understand where he’s coming from) so I’m looking for more of a dialogue whereas he avoids conflict and just wants it to be over as quickly as possible. His general approach is “agree to disagree” but that doesn’t make sense to me when it’s an issue that will keep coming up and requires compromise. I’m n...

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

I’ve always been extremely private and introverted. We have more than a year together and we’ve been living together for like 6 months, we get along pretty good and I’m really in love with her, however I can not seem to open up... and I can tell it’s frustrating to her by the way she tells me it bothers her that she feels she’s the only one committed and the one that’s always sharing... At this point I don’t even know if it is that I’ve gotten too used to it, to the point I’ve became lazy to talk about myself or give any genuine personal opinion... it sucks, really, I need to communicate better... Where do I start? Tl;dr: I can’t be completely intimate with my gf and its frustrating her, I need to communicate better because I really love her... where to start?

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.

I met my girlfriend after a few serious breakups that led me to change both intentionally and unintentionally over a few years. For better and for worse. She had just gotten out of an engagement with a verbally and physically abusive man who had a cocaine problem. We have been together about 8 months now. We hit it off and spent a lot of time together but she began to push our relationship as if there were a time clock for milestones. I was pressed beyond my comfort zone and went with it because of my affection for her. My living situation fell apart and I lost a few thousand dollars to shit roommates right around the time she and I met and she offered to let me stay with her. I agreed with some resistance. I pay for food, help her with bills, and throw money toward rent while trying to get back on my feet. As long as we have been together she has gotten more possessive, angry, and irrational. She is dealing with shit from her engagement and I feel shes looking for a level of seriou...
