Advice on following up after meeting girl at a small gathering

I (27M), was at a small (safe and socially distanced lol) gathering between a few friends celebrating my buddys engagement.

There was a girl I met. 25 ish. She boulders with my friend and his fiance.

He showed up a little late so we didn't talk for more than about 10 to 15 minutes, but it seemed like she may have been single as she came alone.

didn't get much of a chance to talk it didn't really seem proper to ask her for her number that quickly and there wasn't really a good chance because we were in the room with others and socially distanced so being subtle wasnt an option.

Next day I texted my friend and asked if she was single and he confirmed that she is. He didn't necessarily think it was a bad fit but noted he isn't great at knowing who would work lol.

They are getting married on January 2nd and the same small group of people will be the only people in attendance, (again socially distanced.)

My question is should I wait until the wedding comes around for the next chance to talk to her and get to know her more.

We have a decent number of mutual friends on Facebook so the other option I suppose would be to add her as a friend on social media and try to talk in the interim but I'm not loving that idea, since its very impersonal. and since we didn't exactly talk a lot it seems like it would be...too forward and weird?

Dating is super hard with covid. On the surface we seem to have a lot in common so I'd love to get to know her more or at least give it a shot.

Current plan is to wait until January 2nd to do so. Unless somebody else has a better idea for advice on this one.

There's obviously the possibility that if I'm not feeling great or exposed around that time I will not be going to the wedding so it's not like seeing her there is a guarantee either.

Thanks for any advice.

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...
