I saw an incredibly attractive stranger and sad that I may never see him again

I was at a restaurant with my friend today having a laugh and just a good time. Then she noticed a guy walked with with his parents and said that he looked like my type? We sat on the level above but could see the floor below and he was directly in my line of sight if I turned to the left and looked down. But he was sat on the ground floor facing us directly. My friend said he immediately looked up at us and noticed us a few times but sat down and started ordering. Restaurant was fairly empty so it was us, two tables on our level (away from his line of sight) with only him and his family below.

Throughout the night, I tried not to look but then my friend mentioned that he kept looking up so my curiosity got the better of me and I caught his eye and turned away quickly. This happened several times over the course of the night. At one point he came upstairs to use the toilet and he looked at me when he went up and as he was going back down.

At one point when I turned my head to see if I could consider how old he was, he looked my way again and I smiled and quickly turned back. I had zero courage to disrupt him but I so wanted to. My friend said she noticed him staring a couple times and as he was leaving, he was staring at me apparently the whole time until he left the door 😭 Oh and I noticed that he paid for the whole meal with his parents which melted my whole heart 🥺💗

What are the chances that I may see this stranger again? Should I have approached him? I feel like it may have been too awkward with his parents around. Have you ever seen an attractive stranger more than once before? Did you ever act on it?

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...
