How do you get over grass is always greener syndrome?

I [19m] have problems with constantly overthinking everything. When I’m in a relationship I find myself wishing for freedom thinking about how great being single is, but when I’m single I miss being in the relationship. I don’t want to feel this way but it just keeps happening. Do any of you have advice? Submitted May 31, 2020 at 11:34PM I [19m] have problems with constantly overthinking everything.

I’d rather be given an honest reason, rather than being ghosted. Why do people just randomly stop talking without a simple explanation?

Was talking to a girl for a few weeks. We talked daily and hung out once. Everything seemed to be going really well, our conversations flowed, and we seemed to have good chemistry, then out of nowhere she leaves me on read and I haven’t heard anything from her since Thursday. I haven’t even bothered trying to contact her, because what’s the point? Obviously something changed, she’s talking to some other guy, or just decided I wasn’t right for her, for whatever reason. I understand I’m not going to be everybody’s cup of tea and that’s fine, but at least have the courtesy to be upfront with me about it, so I can have a bit of closure and move on with my life.

Advice for dating during pandemic

HI! I am recently single (female 36). Started up on some dating sites, I'm very picky. . . So I know I have a long way to go. I've been on about 10 first dates in the last 5 months. Well mostly before Mid March. There's was one guy I actually got excited about (male 39). We went on a brunch date, ate, had several drinks at the bar.we ended up talking for about 5 hours. I felt a connection and I was somewhat attracted. After the date, he texted me a few times, so that was nice, I knew he was still interested. Then the shelter in place order began a week after. He started texting less and less. One time went a whole week without texting me, but then I texted him. He responded well, wasn't short or anything. So we continued texting every other day. Sometimes it'd even get into low key sexting. I was getting sort of attached to him, lol or at least his attn maybe?? But the thing is I realized, that I myself didn't even know if I really liked him, it was only one da...

23F. Am I normal? Should I get counseling?

Hello, 23F, here. Long story short, there was I have fallen in love 2x in my life. Once at 14, it was clearly puppy love. And again at 16, we were high school sweethearts and dated through high school and most of college and were eventually engaged. He was abusive, toxic, and extremely controlling. I was co-dependent. It’s been 2 years since we broke up. He’s now engaged to someone new. And as for me, I stayed single for a year to focus on self love. I’ve made friends, found hobbies, for back into therapy and made it a serious point to make sure I didn’t NEED anyone. I used to even tell myself that I never want to lose my entire self to another person. I’ve tried dating a few guys recently. Some of the most healthiest people I’ve met. Absolute gentlemen that would’ve given the world for me. But I lose interest fast. As soon as they fall in love, I for some reason have this “romantic” switch just turn off. Am I doomed? I feel like a “high school fuckboi” minus sex. I feel like I WANT...

How do I (M 22) slide in a girl’s dms (f 21)?

I’d like get to know this girl who I know has recently broken out with her former bf. Most of my close friends went to school with her but I know from experience to not involve other people when it comes to dating. The problem is that due to a bunch of insecurities, crippling depression and self doubt I got no game.

Is this normal for long relationships? (F19+M18)

So me and my long distance boyfriend have been dating for almost 9 months. My longest relationship before this point was one month and maybe not even that. And before my current boyfriend I only have two others so I’m not that experience when it comes to relationships and I would like some advice about how mine is going and if it’s normal or if I should be worried. I would prefer no one suggest that I break up with him because I am truly in love with him and I really don’t see that helping in any way. So like I said before me and my boyfriend and then my months and we’ve been doing the long-distance for the entire time. We initially met on our social media website. This is Both our first long-distance that’s lasted this long. However we will be closing the gap soon because I decided to move there. We’ve been having a little bit of issues lately but it might be because we’re both kind of nervous about closing the gap because we don’t know how we’re going to be together and that way. I...

Most of the people I date end up breaking up with me because they end up not being gay or are lesbian

How do I stop getting into relationships where this happens?? Is there a way to prevent this or is it just the luck of the draw?

So I (m25) am going on a date with (f26)

Hey everyone so I am going on a first date with a girl I have been talking to for about two weeks. Now I have not gone on any real dates since early high-school...if you call that dating. so its been a while. Now it seems like she is very to the point (she has a kid already and has been divorced) and I am the same way. I dont wanna waste time on someone that doesn't agree with me on certain things. Im sorry for the speech but any tips would be great. P.S. if you think I should get flowers or not let me know Thanks Submitted May 31, 2020 at 11:58PM Hey everyone so I am going on a first date with a girl I have been talking to for about two weeks.

What does it really mean when someone says its them, not you?

That's just a polite way to break up and reject you, right? So ATM, I'm stuck in a yucky place feeling rejected and unlovable. I know those things aren't true, but it sure feels like it! If I am as great as my dating resume/checklist items say I am, why didn't he want to be with me? Submitted June 01, 2020 at 12:03AM That's just a polite way to break up and reject you, right?

What are you talking about? She didn't write Harry Potter. Saying that is like saying that Notch made minecraft. They're both common misconceptions but it's unfair to the actual creator of minecraft and Harry Potter, Hatsune Miku. June 01, 2020 at 12:02AM

/u/NonPlayableCat on My fellow American LGBTQ+ community, we must support #BlackLivesMatter. The entire movement that lead to us earning the rights we have was born from a riot - one that was incited by POC who would not tolerate mistreatment by the police.

The biggest problem I've run into is lack of a credit card tbh; several times I've tried to donate money and my debit card gets declined. June 01, 2020 at 12:00AM

I want to say, with magic, it wouldn't take very long to institute a giant sewage system. Also, just because they didn't have toilets doesn't mean they didnt have indoor plumbing for potable water. Since the charm for making potable water is NEWT level, you might want to have water fountains, sinks, and baths that have running water for everyone who doesn't know it. May 31, 2020 at 11:17PM

/u/conustextile on Do I need to come out?

Contrary to all the other comments so far, I really do feel the need to come out and be honest about who I am in the world. And I completely respect peoples' choices if they want to keep their sexuality to themselves or see it as a private thing, but... I find that 'keeping it to myself' tends to mean I start to slip into feeling kind of ashamed and embarrassed by it like it really is something to hide, when no, it's a totally normal variation of sexuality. I also find it means I can just be straightforward and honest in situations where it comes up, e.g.: A: "Have you seen Venom?" B: "Yeah, it was on TV the other day." A: "Oh my god! Tom Hardy's so hot in it, right??" B: "Haha, well actually, I'm asexual, so not really my sort of thing." Or, of course, conversations about dating, including interrogation from pushy relatives etc. I personally could never feel truly free and happy in the closet. I understand everybod...

/u/Jentzi on My friend might be asexual

He could be asexual or he could have some deep-seated issues around sex due to upbringing, bad education etc. Both are possible, but he has to figure that out himself, he's the expert on his own thought process and feelings after all. Whatever it is I hope he manages to figure himself out so he can feel happier and understand himself better. May 31, 2020 at 11:08PM

Almost forgot about this. I was new to this game and didn't even know you could send messages on it until he sent ten of them within two minutes and then told me fuck off five minutes later.

Is it normal having high number of matches and being unsuccessful

So I’ve just counted how many matches I’ve had over the past 2 weeks across all apps. I have 27 new matches, of which I haven’t spoken to 8 of them (lack of interest from myside), where a few convos have fizzled out (both on app and after getting their number) and others have matched then do not respond My match rate these days seems to be about 13 a week, but converting into successful matches is difficult Is this normal?
