Getting mix signals from this guy

I 29f have been talking to this guy for maybe 2 months. He told me multiple times he likes me. And we talk on the phone every week for sometime up to 2 hours. He introduced to his friends and recently he went on a family vacation. Today I was joking and I responded to an Istagram story he posted of his family dog. I was like aw are you gonna bring back with you? Then I said well I am excited to see you soon and he literally wrote back haha! And that was it. I thought that it was rude and it seems uninterested to me. Am I overreacting? Submitted September 29, 2020 at 12:13AM I 29f have been talking to this guy for maybe 2 months.

one thing about men i will never understand.

the whole "ghosting" thing. like, you'll be texting and everything will be going great..no long pauses between texts, you seem to have alot in common and then out of nowhere he disappears. whats that even about?

Online dating

I am a guy, and I live in the Bay Area, and I get a decent amount of matches from Hinge. However, the issue that I have noticed is that since girls have so many options, they always jump from once guy to the other, without getting to know most of them. It feels very cut throat and toxic, especially for Asian and brown guys. Not kidding, my brown friends and I match with the same girls every week. It is very disappointing and despairing tbh Thoughts?

/u/HuldraAdventures on The egoism that comes with sex

I agree. It’s weird how so many Christians seem to miss the point behind this. That, and they completely ignore the part where Jesus and (later) the apostle Paul told people that it is perfectly okay (and ever better for some) to stay single. September 29, 2020 at 12:06AM

/u/Taizic on Batman a confirmed ace?!?!

Nahhhh, in the Animated Series, he was very much attracted to Catwoman. Most other times though, when he's "acting" as Bruce Wayne, he does the whole Playboy thing. I don't think it's legit though. His feelings for Selina though showed through even when he was Batman. Edit: Just a thought, but maybe demi-sexual? lol September 29, 2020 at 12:03AM

/u/Jida-polysavoir99 on The egoism that comes with sex

Very true; I knew that this ego driven perspective on sex affected women as well...I didn't know to what extent however (in that even other women encouraging women focus on the man's pleasure during sex). And yeah on a personal note, I wouldn't want someone's hands around my neck either especially if they were clueless about what their were doing (just because they "wanted it"). Totally agree, I wish people in general would focus more on the well-being of the other person during sex (and vice versa) as opposed to viewing it as a sort of commodity (Asexual or not). I don't know how much will change..but at least we can be honest here and work with that..so thanks for your input as an older ace (I'm younger and still questioning). September 28, 2020 at 11:59PM

/u/un-creative123 on Compliments on appearances

For the most part for me, it depends on who it's coming from and in what context (i.e. a stranger vs. a friend would give a different reaction). But I've never really understood what someone means when friends tell me I look "sexy". I get when they say "beautiful" or "pretty" but I don't have any experience of what to connect words like "sexy" or "hot" with. So sometimes it makes me uncomfortable just because I don't really associate anything to it or maybe its some mild sex aversion idk if that makes sense. September 28, 2020 at 11:53PM

/u/tailoredbubbles on How to date if you're Asexual and not go crazy?

I feel the same way, I'm almost about ready to just try to date someone else who's asexual but that's just going to narrow down my already slim options for dating. I live in a rural area too so I've kinda just accepted I'll either be alone forever or find someone online. I don't have much advice but I wish you luck in finding a good and healthy relationship.

/u/ace_ventura__ on I found this screenshot I took of Puyo Puyo Tetris back in 2017 and I immediately thought of this sub. [Mild Monday]

Why is every single piece a T piece? That's kind of scaring me if I'm honest. I mean, just imagine how many points you could easily rack up if every piece was a t piece September 28, 2020 at 11:49PM

/u/prince_peacock on Batman a confirmed ace?!?!

Cringe acting like the Nolan Batman trilogy is the only version of the character. Not saying he’s ace (I’d say demi honestly) in them, but acting like an authority and then citing movies is definitely cringe September 28, 2020 at 11:46PM

I flipping love this!! September 28, 2020 at 11:45PM

/u/Painted_Wolf-1221 on How to date if you're Asexual and not go crazy?

Idk I found out that my girlfriend is ace too, but it seems like a good idea to date on the ace spectrum September 28, 2020 at 11:44PM

/u/ace_ventura__ on Kinda belongs here too

What is sex You wouldn't get it Don't get it Still don't. (Of course, this comment is meant to be read to the tune of "what is love") September 28, 2020 at 11:43PM

/u/JadeBadel on How do I deal with asexuality and high libido?

Porn? If you can find some you’re into, that is. Otherwise, maybe just invest in some quality toys. September 28, 2020 at 11:36PM

/u/aidenmce on Batman a confirmed ace?!?!

None of y’all have read the comics, he used to be attracted to every single female villain September 28, 2020 at 11:35PM

/u/WaggyTails on I'm in a relationship with a girl who is starting to think she is asexual. I, a person who is definitely not asexual, would like to be supportive.

That's beautiful and I'm so happy for you:) Communication is super important already and I think the main thing is for me to kind of get used to it. It's a little weird for me, but I really don't want her to feel guilty or like she owes me anything or something like that, which she has stated in the past. I think the key is communication, without being reactive, and assuming the best. September 28, 2020 at 11:35PM

/u/jamieluke97 on Batman a confirmed ace?!?!

Have any of you watched the dark knight trilogy? Your batman knowledge is poor and pure cringe lmao. He loved a woman she was killed by the joker. He promised never to love again but Alfred slapped him out of it and then he got married to cat woman and they both left their old lives in Gotham and lived happily ever after. The end.

/u/aod42091 on Bring a vampire would be cool though.

I've heard it has its good points but also that it really bites so I have mixed feelings. September 28, 2020 at 11:12PM

/u/VpV64 on Am I actually aspec or did I just misunderstand what it means to be?

Yeah I've looked into it before, and double-checking what it means to be aego just doesn't seem like me. The main point on the wiki says: Aegosexuals may (or may not) do any of the following. - Get aroused by sexual content but not actually want to engage in any sexual activities." The thing is, is that I do want to do it someday. There are other things such as aegos typically being neutral or repulsed, whereas I consider myself do sort of fluctuate between neutral and favorable, when/if I do fantasize it isn't in third person, etc. I read through some other grey-types and maybe cupio fits, but for some people I do feel a sexual attraction after an emotional bond is formed. Is it possible to be cupio and demi? September 28, 2020 at 11:11PM

/u/arianeb on :3

Happily single all my life, and I see it all the time. It's a social construct and it is called Amatonormativity - society's obsession with coupling and marriage. Couples and married couples have many social and economic advantages because of it, which makes life tough for us perennial singles. On the other hand we don't have to worry about every decision we make affecting our relationship. September 28, 2020 at 11:09PM

Why is it so hard for husband's at the grocery store?

Sent husband to the store for a forgotten item. You'd think I sent him to a foreign country, he always has to call me to discuss about items available. I basically stay on the phone with him the entire time he's at the store. Cracks me up 😂😂 Submitted September 28, 2020 at 11:50PM Sent husband to the store for a forgotten item.

Divorce because lack of trust??

My husband (32) and myself (27) have been married for just over a year. Together for two. I need to start off by saying that I do in fact love him, a lot, and I know he cares about me. No relationship /marriage is perfect, but this issue digs at me. It's literally consuming me. I don't trust him. We're still young, and we don't have kids. My worry is that he will most definitely cheat on me at some point in our marriage. Prior to us dating, he's never been faithful to any girl he's dated. He's the type that would sleep around, a lot. He told me this because he wanted to come clean and swore he changed. He wanted to be better. He's also a narcissist. He refuses to admit it, but his ego is enormous. He rarely apologizes, he thinks highly of himself (I think to make up for his lack of self esteem as a child) and is the most charming man you'll ever meet. I don't think he's cheated on me. I do, however, think he's actively chatting with...

How do I stay calm when dating?

Hi there, Does anyone have any advice for me? I am 31f, and I’m looking for someone to love for life and have a family with. I dated and lived with someone for several years in my 20s and i just assumed it would materialize into marriage at some point, because he always said it would when I asked. I eventually realized that it wasn’t going to happen because he didn’t actually want that. So now I’m afraid of making the same mistake. I’ve experienced first hand that people can say they want one thing and give off all the good vibes while stringing me along. And I’m really scared of anyone I date now pulling the same crap. My biological clock is ticking hard. I already have a known issue that my doctor warns me will likely make achieving pregnancy take longer (but not impossible). What’s more, I’d really like at least 2-3 kids. I’ve had a relationship since the ex that have lasted 12 months, but I cut bait because the person wasn’t seriously discussing or thinking about marriage with...
