Does she like me? What should I do next?

Hi fellow redditors,

I (20M, soon 21) met a girl last week (22F) [27th of March], at a conference. We engaged in some friendly conversation. At the end of it, she told another lady friend of mine that I'm very sweet.

Then, over the next few days, she initiates conversation with me over texts, and we've been chatting for the past few days leading up to today.

A few notes on our texting;

1) She's kinda playful and teasing over text

2) She waits exactly how long I've waited before replying to reply

^If I waited 2 hours before replying, then I'm guaranteed a text exactly 2 hours from her. I've noticed this almost always, and I've tested it by sending quick replies(around 10 minutes wait) and she replies back quickly too, the only exceptions were late-night texts or texts when either of us was at training.

3) We chat on WhatsApp and she's turned read receipts off.

^I used to talk with her regarding some logistics for the conference (strictly professional) even before meeting her. And she had read receipts on back then. But once we started chatting again, she's turned it off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So that's the story up to now. I know there are clear signs she likes me. I also discreetly checked with my friend and she says that she's single.

The only problem I have is that I am not 100% sure I like her. I didn't develop feelings for her when we met, and even right now, I'm not a 100% into her. Is this okay?

My game plan right now is to set up a date with her and see whether we truly have chemistry in person.

I'm from an Asian Country so dating before officially being a couple is not very existent, so is this an okay route to take?

And that Asian Country being Sri Lanka, with the current turmoil I'm not sure whether we'll be able to have a date immediately. So is it okay if I suggest it either today or tomorrow and set up plans with her for a later date and continue our texting? Or should I just continue our texting and set up the date later when things actually clear up in the country?

Thank you for your help.

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
