I [20F] have been on 2 dates with someone [22M], I’ve told him a few times that I don’t want to rush into things and that I’d just like to talk, go on a few dates and see how things play out between us. On both of our dates he’s tried to kiss me when I’ve told him that I’d rather not as we haven’t been dating long. Tonight I was on video call with him and he referred to me as his girlfriend and was talking about buying me an expensive gift. Overall I think that he’s really rushing into things for someone I’ve known for 3 weeks, he messages constantly and calls when I say I’m busy. How do I tell him this? I’m not sure how to go about setting clear boundaries and honestly this is quite a turn off for me. Would it be bad to tell him in a text that I want to take a step back from dating him? I really like him as a person but he’s making me very uncomfortable, should I tell him that I just want to be friends for a while first? Submitted January 07, 2021 at 11:27PM I [20F] have been ...

She has 3 photos, the first one doesn’t make her look very good at all, the second one does make her attractive (no idea how recent), and the third is between the first two in attractiveness but it’s her holding up roses and what is clearly a Valentine’s Day card. Her profile doesn’t have any other information except basics like she doesn’t smoke, has kids, drinks occasionally, etc. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Submitted January 07, 2021 at 11:29PM She has 3 photos, the first one doesn’t make her look very good at all, the second one does make her attractive (no idea how recent), and the third is between the first two in attractiveness but it’s her holding up roses and what is clearly a Valentine’s Day card.Her profile doesn’t have any other information except basics like she doesn’t smoke, has kids, drinks occasionally, etc. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Okay so about two years ago me and my close friend group who went in the same class at the time where havin a little party and we got a bit buzzed. We went out on a walk and me and this girl in my friend group who i secretly liked actually kissed me and said she liked me. I got surprised as i thought she was in another leauge and we went for a long walk and confessed our feelings for eachother. The next week was amazing and a bit awkward cus we were in the same class etc. We talked a lot in school and texted eachother nonstop for about 3 months. Suddenly we got cold feet because if we started dating for real and things didnt turn out well our friend group would be ruined. She pushed the decision more than I did to end it. I was feeling really bad about it for the next months, especially when she started talking bout other guys. (she’s really attractive and she’d only been single for 3 months when she made the move on me and guys were on her instantly). So she ended up getting a boyfr...

I have interest in a woman who can easily get along with me. There are some things that both me and her share in common. However, there is something in her that made me interested to pursue her to more than just friends. I have plans on dating her but unable to do so because of lockdown restrictions. What are your advices when I am going for a date? So at least I won’t be a dead stick when we would actually date. Thank you and have a good day!

I knew this girl from high school and we spoke maybe like twice but I follow her on instagram I find her really beautiful and don't know how to start to speak to her. Should I in the first place?

Hello Reddit, I (24f) have been seeing this guy (24m) for nearly a year and a half. We go everyday texting and things have been good. Two days ago, I ask him if he has any plans for today 1/7/21 and he said he doesn’t, so I tell him that I want to see him and that I’ll make the plans. He agrees and he asks me what was I planning. I fell asleep and replied the next morning. No response. Two hours later I sent him a meme and once again no response. I assume he’s busy and he’ll text me back later and he doesn’t. Around midnight I text him a row of angry emojis and nothing. Today at noon and the day we have plans, I texted him “I said row of angry emojis and nothing. I called him and it rang the normal amount and no answer. What’s going on???? Submitted January 07, 2021 at 11:39PM Hello Reddit,I (24f) have been seeing this guy (24m) for nearly a year and a half.

I’m a 22 M and just feel like I don’t really get along with girls my own age. I’ve have 2 actual relationships with women over 30 and they were so much deeper and felt so much more of a connection and I was able to be comfortable around them but I never get that with girls my age. The only problem is I found out the first woman was actually married the whole time with 2 kids and the second one left because she was embarrassed to introduce me to her family because of my age but said it was the most meaningful relationship she’s ever had. I don’t really know what to do moving forward I just feel like the only reason a woman that age would be with a guy my age is to use them for a good time Submitted January 07, 2021 at 11:43PM I’m a 22 M and just feel like I don’t really get along with girls my own age.

There's a guy I worked with last year who I asked to stay in contact with after our contracts ended. We were both working from home so I was only able to talk to him "face to face" through Zoom video calls. He was assigned as my mentor while I was working there, though more than anything it felt like we were just friends (we're also both 21). I started messaging him on social media after we both ended work and his replies weren't dry at all, he seemed pretty engaged and always responded within a day. I eventually asked him for his number but I never got a reply after that. It's showing that he hasn't read my message yet and he hasn't been online since it was sent...it's been like 2 weeks now. Should I just move on or follow up? Submitted January 07, 2021 at 11:46PM There's a guy I worked with last year who I asked to stay in contact with after our contracts ended.

Obviously tons of people switched to dating apps to meet people because of the pandemic has that translated into anything for anyone? I’m not even looking to immediately jump into a relationship but definitely hoping to build good friendships that could lead to one eventually. However my experience seems overall worse on them and more people just want to waste your time more so than pre-pandemic. On the other hand tons of people are also still afraid to meet up with anyone for obvious reasons so I don’t really know what to make of all this. Anyone care to share their experiences?

Is it weird that as a 24 year old woman, I’ve never had a guy like me back. I’m fairly atttactive, I defo have a personality, I’m different to other girls but feminine, intelligent and chatty. I meet guys I like and go on dates with them. They seem to go well, defo feel a connection and then it doesn’t go anywhere even if I put the effort in.

This guy i met roughly 2 months ago things seemed great at first now I feel it fading but I take in consideration his lifestyle and us not knowing one another long so its nothing serious. He'll go hours without responding and will send kissy emojis he say as his way to let me know he's thinking of me. Now if he text me. And I don't respond for hours he will question it. I never question him. Does he do it to see if I will question him? Like the past week he went days without talking. Then he said he's been sick and under the weather. So yesterday he texted me but just emojis so I didn't respond at all. This morning at 5am he texted me saying, "wow, nothing all day?" I seriously don't get it. Can anyone help me understand why he would question if he does the same?

So I’m messaging this girl. We seem to get along I believe. We speak on Snapchat. But sometimes she’s blunt. However we’ve said we’d meet up and hang out after lockdown? Am I doing something wrong is this why she’s blunt sometimes? She’s fast at replying and doesn’t leave me on delivered half the day Submitted January 08, 2021 at 12:03AM So I’m messaging this girl.

Ok I just posted but now I’m a little worried that I’m moving too fast I got dumped on the 30th of Dec. I was with my ex for 11 months, but sort of 9 because she was distant and not part of my life for the last 2. I’m fairly sure I got dumped for this other dude. And now I’m talking to other people, one girl in particular I really like. But it’s been less than two weeks. I’m genuinely not feeling sad about my ex though, I feel okay to listen to our old songs, see her pics, think of her with other guys.. and I can’t get this new girl out of my head. I really like her. is that normal?? Side note, I’m autistic and find it hard to understand my feelings so maybe what I’m doing is abnormal ?

Me and an ex and broke up around June (2020). And it was somewhat of a bad break up to where it really messed me up. And so she started going to the gym and so we’ve obviously seen each other but never said anything until recently. We’d say hello and have small conversations. And so we decided to have a talk about me and her and it went okay like we both apologized to each other and that we agreed me and her could’ve handled the situation better. Also she said she’d be down to be friends again and I said I’m good with that. But the thing is I don’t want to mess this up. I don’t expect to get back together with her but all I want is to gain her respect and trust back. I want to show her that I’m not same person that I was when we broke up. She means a lot to me and even there’s probably no chance of us getting back together I can accept that. Like I said before all I want is to earn her respect and trust again and not mess it up Submitted January 08, 2021 at 12:15AM Me and an ex ...

Oh, ok. I do get uncomfortable to think that random people would look at me and think sexual thoughts about me, but i don’t feel dysphoric about any aspect of my body. January 07, 2021 at 11:33PM

Sex repulsed since Middle school here (didn’t know then)- in middle school, my friends would call me pure or innocent because practically everyone in our class was dirty minded. I didn’t really think I was mature because I didn’t develop crushes, I just was happy I didn’t because I knew I would never act on a crush or want a crush (for many reasons). Being grossed out at the rare dirty jokes I’d hear classmates make actually made me feel pretty immature, like “I’m in middle school, shouldn’t being grossed out by sex have stopped by now?” January 07, 2021 at 11:32PM

I'd pick being Ace all over again. I like this part of me. I'd also pick being obviously Aro so I wouldn't be stuck in this am I or am I not aro questioning cycle. Or maybe I'd pick being obviously heteromantic for the same reasons, but that doesn't feel quite right to me, you know? So yeah, Aroace all the way. I'd want to be a sex favorable, romance favorable Aroace with absolutely no imposter syndrome or self doubt. That sounds ideal to me. January 07, 2021 at 11:30PM
