How to answer when a guy asks if you live alone.

Female here. This is the 2nd time it's happened. It immediately creeps me out. But the rest of the conversation had been normal. What a good non-answer to this? I successfully ignored the first guy that asked me, but that's because he asked a bunch of questions after. This is the only question this guy asked in this sentence.

18y/o M , don't know whats wrong with me but don't know what love is

18y/o M , don't know whats wrong with me but ever since i moved away to university i have been in quite 'relationships' and each ended the same way. I met them thought they were amazing thought i could definitley be in a long term relationship with them then with 3 girls after 2 weeks i just thought nope i definitley dont want this then ended it with them just out of the blue felt extremely bad about it each time. I would see them pretty much every day and became very close with them thinking after each girl surely this wont happen again i can hold onto this feeling for more than two weeks. Just seems a lot more girls her i have so much more in common with them and get on with them so much more. Before the christmas holiday i have been with this girl with 3 weeks (longest yet) and well think shes amazing of course. However she lives on another continent from where we go to university together so habent seen her over our extremely long 5 week break. I miss her so much but h...

Is there a way to do this better.

So here’s the problem and I always come through when I come to dating people. So what I experience is, often times I usually need to take 2 to 3 months to get the girls to actually to go out and then 2 to 3 more months to get a girl to sleep with me. however I’m just wondering if there’s any technique that I can make the grow finder with me faster than my usual time and why people can get a girlfriend in like 2 to 3 weeks and I need to get a girlfriend for for six months it’s just weird but thanks for you guys help !

Question to Girls on Bumble

This happens to me a lot on Bumble. I’ll match with a girl, she’ll say something simple like, “hey, how’s it going?”, then I’ll respond by saying something like, “not much, how’s your day going?” And then they never respond. I’m curious as to why this happens so often, because why start a conversation if you don’t plan to say anything after the first line? Or are they just waiting for me to respond with something more and carry the convo? I want to make it clear that I am not giving them a dead end answer, like “good” or “fine”, I usually acknowledge what they say and ask them a question back, so the ball is in their court to respond, and when they don’t, I just feel weird double responding, so I don’t and the convo dies.

Best Second Date Convo Topics!

What are some of the best questions/conversation starters you use as topics on a SECOND date? After you've covered all the basic conversation topics in the first date (like job, background, favorite interests, etc). I (27F) am going on a second date with a guy (27M) I met on Bumble tomorrow night... I'm hoping to avoid the second date slump!

How do I start talking to a girl I am unfamiliar with?

Hi all, I (20M) have been lurking in this subreddit for a few days now and I think I’d like some advice on what I should do. I am a pretty shy person when it comes to relationships so I don’t think it’s gonna be easy for me, but I don’t mind trying anyway. So a few weeks ago, my friend got invited to a karaoke with his colleagues at his workplace for his internship while we were having dinner. Coincidentally, I didn’t bring my keys out (me and my friend stay together) so my only option was to tag along. After meeting his colleagues, there was this really cute girl (20F) from the same school who I met and I think it’s one of the rare occasions where I felt a connection and I was kinda comfortable with her (although still shy, didn’t talk too much which I regretted so badly). We briefly introduced ourselves, and started singing and drinking for a few hours. Since then, I haven’t seen her but she has been on my mind for a while now and I’m pretty sure I have a crush on her. I told my f...

Getting stood up. Multiple times. Different people.

So as I type this I was supposed to be on a date tonight. Things were going fantastically between me and this girl, or so it seemed. She went out last night and as of today, she didn’t respond to my text asking when she would like to be picked up and she also unfollowed my instagram. This isn’t the first time this has happened. I say nothing off-putting to either girl this has happened with, as far as I could tell. This one I really vibed with. I guess she didn’t think the same or some ex popped back into her life last night. Who knows what the hell happened. Point of this is: Men as well as women (who ghost, whether it’s because of anxiety or whatever else). Please stop ghosting someone when you make near-absolute plans for a date. If you have to call off for whatever reason, have some decency and communicate. Don’t leave us to wonder what/if we did wrong. That does more emotional damage to our self-esteem than just telling us why you didn’t want to or couldn’t go. That’s my rant. ...

16F. Looking for people to talk to

Hello I’m just looking for people to talk to who are somewhat near my age Looking to maybe be friends or more then that I’ll be 16 in a few months so I’m not 16 yet if that matters Submitted January 17, 2020 at 12:24AM Hello I’m just looking for people to talk to who are somewhat near my age Looking to maybe be friends or more then thatI’ll be 16 in a few months so I’m not 16 yet if that matters

Why do men want to be in a relationship?

Yeah, I know many men want sex but I mean they can have casual sex without any strings. Despite from sex, what do they hope out of a relationship? I feel like a relationship is more for women because they hope they will meet their charming princes--who will be their emotional support, understanding them, their best friends, and etc. They want very romantic nights with candles and roses. Women generally like romantic comedy movies. Men are emotionally weak and they don't really talk to their friends about their feelings. They often bottle up their feelings. They are usually into action movies, sports, and so on. Well, yes they may want to have a hot girlfriend to show off to their buddies but they aren't teenagers anymore. I talk about men who want a serious relationship. Wait...if they are into superhero movies, I guess they want to be someone's hero? Lol. I mean I notice men want women who love them for who they are, make them laugh, support them, and so on. Same thing...

Was this her way of asking me out or should I not get my hopes up?

I [27] asked out a girl [22] I like a few months back and she did not reply until a month ago, apologizing for not replying. She broke up with her ex about 8 month ago (few months before I asked her out) and whenever one of her friends ask her why she is not seeing anyone she says that she does not want to date and enjoys begin single for now. After she apologized to me she keeps texting me every few days. I really don’t know if she is interested or just likes me as a friend at this point, but she does not mind me touching her and laughs at whatever stuff I say for instance. I somehow began losing interest however and figured she knows I am/was interested and it was her time to make a move. Today we were with another friend of ours and talked about some horror movies. She said she would like to see whatever horror movie at the theater with anyone of us (knowing full well that our other friend does not watch horror). I failed to react so I just looked up what movies are in theater ri...

Can you make any relationship work?

Obviously you shouldn't be in a relationship with someone who is physically or emotionally harming you, but other than that is it all up to your effort and circumstances? I was listening to a podcast episode called "Emotional Baggage" by The Irish Mummy Podcast and the wife said she made marriage goals and then realized a lot of the problems were within her control to change. Then, things got better because she led by example. I'm not married, but I think this could relate to dating as well. It got me thinking that maybe any relationship can work if both people are consistently focused on giving it their all and making things better. Thoughts?

Progressing a (not so, but kind of) long distance relationship

I (26m) met this (22f) on hinge a month back. She lives in a town I was visiting friends in and we hit it off. 90 miles separates us is all and we are both still interested. We snapchat fairly often and are going on our first date tomorrow night. I'd like some advice from those of you that have made distance work. How do you progress? What kind of pace did you progress?

How to deal with an extroverted girl?

So I met this girl at work some months ago, but we started talking only a couple of weeks ago. Since we only see each other at work our conversations are mainly about that, but we've talked about some personal stuff like our hobbies and interests. She gave me her phone number as well when I asked for it. The thing is, she is really nice with everyone there so I can't tell if she's into me as I'm into her or if it's just the way she is with everyone. In those conversations we had I learned that she actually doesn't live here and she just works during the holidays. She told me she's gonna be in town in two weeks so I asked her if she'd like to hangout outside of work and she said yes. Is that a good sign?

Should I call her or text her after the first date?

For setting a second date. Previously I would call, but I know a lot of girls get nervous to pick up the phone even if they like you. Do girls prefer texting? I've read that calling shows you're more confident, I don't care either way. I just want to do what is good for her.

How do you even respond to "I'll let you know"

I already know that response is a death sentence 99% of the time because a maybe is almost always a no, and girls will rarely actually get back to you anyway lol. I already took the L and it's fine because she's just not interested and you can't ever force that, but I just don't know if you are supposed to respond back or just leave it and never look back.

Hello! I know this survey is for the asexuality spectrum but I was just wondering if something could be added for anyone not asexual. Im not asexual but I love this subreddit and love learning more and hopefully stop being a lurker and cheer people up more! Its okay if you wont add it. January 17, 2020 at 12:18AM

/u/Tiny_Tinker on Know I'm ace, what about the other stuff?

I wonder a bit myself. I also love a good romantic dynamic. Random guys on dating apps calling me beautiful is always an "ugh" moment. But I would feel differently about something romantic that was less superficial and coming from someone I already built a relationship with. January 17, 2020 at 12:00AM

/u/Tiny_Tinker on Can a Mom ask a question or two?

That's good! I guess I may have lucked out with another unknowing ace or someone with lower libido etc, so it may not have been real bad, but I think the more likely case for me would be a pretty negative experience. Glad it's working ok for you though January 16, 2020 at 11:57PM

My (25M) girlfriend (25F) has stopped messaging me.

Hey guys, really need help here. I already made a post about this before. Just to sum it up from my previous post, my girlfriend comes over to my house for the first time and starts acting distant from that day on. First I thought it was my house or my living conditions put her off but I saw her only twice since then, where we kissed. I mean, you wouldn't kiss someone if something really put you off about them. But seeing her drastically decreased and now we haven't spoken for nearly a week. I messaged her to see if she doesn't like me anymore, and that she can be honest. She told me that the beginning of the year has been really tough, and she's been depressed, and stressed with her work and needs to focus on herself . I told her that if she needs anything from me she can let me know and she said "we can meet up sometimes ;)". And that's it, not a single word from her and it's been nearly a week. I don't wanna constantly ask her if "eve...

I (18M) used my siblings (8F and 8M twins) in my workout routine and my mom got pissed at me

I am 18 and my siblings are 8 and twins, I have started to get into boxing and I am really enjoying it. I am a bit chubby where I need to be (I'm 5'11 at 185 and I want to get down to 180-175). My workout routine sucks but it gets me in shape. I do this one where I take a 30 pound medicine ball and drop it on my stomach around 25-30 times a day, its supposed to make my core better and to learn how to take a punch from light weights. My 2 siblings like watching me and we have a carpeted basement where I work out and I thought a fun way for me to involved them in the workout and make sure they don't get hurt lifting the weights I'm at, was to do the medicine ball trick but with them. I wasn't gonna drop it but basically use my force and pull them down so their weight would hit me. They are both around the 40-50 pound mark so it was a bit heavier than what I'm used to but the 30 wasn't really working for me and thats the heaviest I had. So I do it and I won...

My brain is self-sabotaging me

I'm [21f] and my bf if [22m], we have been together a year. Tldr: I have overthinking tendencies and I don't want them to negatively affect my boyfriend as well as me. I'm doing really well, usually if I was by myself my head would run wild with overthinking, but I've felt really settled this week, like a weight has been lifted. But I just felt some worries slipping back in a little and I hate myself for being back on reddit because I don't think it's good for me. For months I was overthinking a few times where I looked at someone I thought was attractive for a little longer than normal, or another time where I was with a group of new friends and my sister and one of my new friends squirted a syringe shot in my mouth for fun. Basically I've been overthinking these times as if I have betrayed my boyfriend, even though he wouldn't think that. Last weekend I broke down crying about it on him after he told me to open up; he knows I can get anxiety. And...
