Gay dating

Hi, everyone. Just putting this out there and I would appreciate any feedback or advice! I'm 25 and have been seeing another guy who's 20 for approximately a month. We met on tinder where he said that he's not sure he wants a relationship, but is open to meeting people. I said i'm ideally looking for dates, but could be open to friendship. We went to the movies a couple times, and have held hands (which was initiated by both of us at different times) each time since then it's been a little more intimate. Most recently he slept over and we shared the bed. We cuddled but didn't engage in any sexual activity or kissing. However that was over a week ago now. Since then I've asked to hang out a couple of times, and he has said he's been busy each time with school work etc. Which I can understand, but is starting to feel like soft rejection or something. We're going to a concert tomorrow (tickets bought weeks ago) and I asked if he would like to get dinner beforehand, which he said he will likely be too busy with school work to have dinner before. Tomorrow I would like to be clear with him about where I am emotionally, and that I would like to be more than friends. Because I can't keep holding hands and have it not mean anything. Side note, he has no social media and uses a flip phone so texting conversations aren't really a thing. It's different, but it makes me more interested in him. I do like him. Anyway, if anyone read this thank you for doing so lol.

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...
