Ghosted for the First Time Ever and it sucks...

Me (23 y.o M) matched with a 22 y.o F on Tinder. First date was great! We both got along, had very similar interest and planned to go out again the following weekend. We are both very busy throughout the week but we texted a decent amount. Second date, again everything was perfect, we went to a bar, had some drinks and then she stayed over at my place. We texted a lot more during the week and she kept complimenting me, saying how much she enjoys spending time with me. Early into the week, we planned to go out again that upcoming weekend on Friday night. Leading up to the days, we had been texting and snap chatting a good amount. Friday morning, I ask her what her plans are for the day and she said something along the lines of " work in the morning, going to get lunch with a friend, then spend the night with you". That is the last text I ever got from her. I followed up with a text saying something like "great! just let me know when you think I should pick you up". The day went on and she never replied to my text, which was super weird considering we planned this out and she "had been looking forward to it". Eventually it starts getting late, and I finish up my day of working and studying so I text her just saying "hey I just finished work, keep me posted" hours and hours later, no reply. I was very very confused. I left it at that hoping at least for a reply the following day, I got nothing. I was pretty pissed so I deleted her on all social media. I have been flaked on many times. Girls have cancelled on me last minute, BUT NEVER has someone outright just ghosted and ignored me. It's annoying because we never dated so obviously it's not that big of deal, but I just feel so bad about it. Any tips to get over it, and to avoid this from happening in the future.

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...
