just finished my first date!!!

I matched with this girl on an app and we were messaging back and forth every day for a week before I asked her out. The messages were detailed, long and engaging. But due to my work schedule conflict we had to reschedule our meeting for the following week. The messages slowly started to die down and she ghosted me for two weeks. I was about to delete the app before she sent me another message apologizing for ghosting and saying she was busy with work and went on vacation. She asked if I was still interested in meeting up. I said yes and scheduled it for today at a local dessert cafe.

She looked a little bit different from her profile pics but not drastically. I could she put time I to doing her makeup and hair and picking out a nice outfit. We sat down and ordered our desserts and started talking about everything and anything - hobbies, what we do in our free time, relationship with friends and family, work, school, Netflix and Disney plus shows. There weren't really any awkward pauses. I asked her how her dating experience has been so far and what she is looking for. She replied saying her dating app experience has been bad and that she went out on a couple dates but they didn't lead to anything. She said she isn't a great texter and much prefers to meet people in person. She said she is looking for something serious. We continued to chat but she then said she had to leave early because she was doing dinner with friends later so we wrapped things up. She offered to pay but I refused. I walked her to her car, she said it was nice to meet me, and we hugged before she left.

Overall I am still processing how I feel the date went and am deciding whether to ask her out again. Probably will send a text to her later today.

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
