My [23F] common sense disappears completely when I like someone so please tell me what’s going on with this guy [25M]

I feel like I look too far into good details and wrongfully assume they really like me, or look too far into negative details and immediately think they must not be into me. I really don’t care whether someone likes me, but the guessing drives me crazy.

We’ve been seeing each other since the beginning of January, and have gone on 5 dates. He took a solo trip to London for 3 weeks and kept in touch with me every single day, and still does. We’ve done 5 dinner dates and they always end in a quick peck kiss and that’s all. I’m wondering why he’d go on so many dates with me if he wasn’t into me, but why won’t he make a move? Neither of us is too shy. So I’m confused. If he’d offer to pick me up and drop me off (which he doesn’t - is he nervous to ask or does he really not care to?) I’d probably invite him up afterwards.

In my past I always found myself chasing after a guy and becoming a pathetic shell of myself and taking the reins so much that the guy feels no need to make an effort at all. So this is why I’m nervous to make a move myself. I considered saying “yeah let’s stay in and have a movie night” next time he asks me out, but I don’t want him to think I want to fool around just yet either, and I don’t know what that could imply in today’s world.

Also he still texts daily but the conversation has gotten a little calmer and less smiley - but maybe that’s good and we’re both more comfortable now?

Finally - no VDay plans yet - what are the odds? I don’t think it would be weird to hang out with eachother. Nothing extravagant and no gifts of course. But why not spend it with your romantic interest?

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
