I (25M) have a crush on my long time friend (27F). I caught feelings kind of quickly when we met back in 2012 but for the longest I had never said anything about it. A few years back in 2017, I told her about how I felt and she said that she didn't return the feelings and was put off at that time due to her own views/prior experiences with romantic relationships. Fast forward to 2019, and we stop talking to each other for a while (nothing really happened to cause it or anything, it just sort of happened), outside of saying happy birthday to one another, or the occasional messages in our group chat with friends we didn't directly talk to one another. She randomly messaged me back in September, and ever since we started talking again on a near daily basis. I got her a present for her birthday, and since it had been at least 3 or 4 years since we'd seen each other, we just sat in my car and shot the shit for a while. She was being very touchy, patting and rubbing my back, pl...

I don’t think so. I feel like I’m probably perceived as looking "straight". My style is almost exactly what you described as "sexy" but I don’t really dress that way to look like that. I guess I just find that’s what I look best in and am the most confident in. I do have shorter hair but it’s just a bob so not too short. However, I would say that I don’t shop to stay in one style, I just buy what I like. I have some funky sweaters and tops for sure but I almost always wear some sort of makeup.

Before I tell the story, keep in mind that I had almost 0 dating experience before all this, so all these feelings are new to me. In the beginning of October I (M22) met a girl, let’s call her ‚Z‘ (F19), and we went on 3 dates in 5 weeks, which wasn’t quite enough for my liking and she often told me that she is busy learning as she just started going to university and I believed her. 2 weeks after our 3rd date she left me on read after I asked for another date. I have to admit that this fucked me up and made me sad for like 2 weeks as she kinda was my first real dating experience, but I eventually got over it. Fast forward to December, I met another girl, ‚S‘ (F21), and we hit off very good, going on 3 dates in 10 days (we are still dating) and everything about this girl is better than the first. (She lives way closer to me, is closer to my age and way more mature than the other girl, shows way more interest in me as a person and also in meeting up) Now in the end of December, ‚Z’ ...

What are some examples of feeling secure in a relationship Submitted January 07, 2022 at 12:10AM What are some examples of feeling secure in a relationship

Is there a difference between guys you would prefer to date and guys you prefer to hookup with. I am sure there are guys who you won't mind hooking up with but won't date? But is the other way true as well? Someone you won't mind dating but won't hook up with.. Question origin: Some girls prefer to hook up with "Hot Guys" but then won't mind dating someone less "hot" but who brings other things on table like personality, status etc Submitted January 07, 2022 at 12:10AM Is there a difference between guys you would prefer to date and guys you prefer to hookup with.I am sure there are guys who you won't mind hooking up with but won't date?But is the other way true as well?

Hi, I'm taking a friend out to dinner on a Sunday night but am looking for an after dinner activity that is fun and am struggling to think of something for us to do. Please help!! It's just for two people around 30 years old. Looking for some sort of fun activity after 8-830pm until possibly 12am. Thanks!

I (M29) matched this girl (F24) on hinge. Things escalated pretty quickly. Texting non stop everyday led to phone calls every night for a week. I could tell she was really into me and said she kept saying she really fancied my pictures. We also had a lot in common including both living abroad in the same exact place. Things felt like a relationship on the phone and we flirted a lot. We arranged to meet one night, she was going to drive to me and stay at mine after the date (drinks and mini golf in the city). She drove up to me and I went to help park her car. I was incredibly nervous and felt like she was a bit cold or stand off-Ish, there was not much eye contact or flirty body language but she’s was pleasant enough. It quickly got a bit awkward and the conversation didn’t seem to flow. The connection we had on the phone was nonexistent. After a lot of awkward silences we arrived at our date location. And I just had to break the ice and mention I was nervous meeting her and though...

I (22) went on a first date with a guy (31) 4 nights ago, he hasn’t contacted me since. I know there’s a possibility that the date didn’t go as well as I think, but we literally went to the movies! Please don’t shame me for going to the movies on a first date, we are giving him the benefit of the doubt. There was good conversation and we talked in his car awhile before the movie started. He never made any sexual advances. We were pretty close during the movie, like his arm around me (it was the recliner seats) and everything. Once the movie was over, neither of us said much. He walked me to the car, I thanked him, we hugged and he waited for me to pull off. Afterwards, I texted him thank you and that I enjoyed the date. He said he was glad I enjoyed myself?? And he would talk to me soon. Backstory: I gave him my number a while ago but we hadn’t texted much. He never invited me on a date so I wasn’t too interested. I told him happy new year and then he asked me out. He said he didn’t ...

If I’m not what they want, I don’t want them to see me as some placeholder or something. The amount of men who have stayed with me, knowing I’m not what they’re looking for, is way too many. And of course they told me this afterwards. I bring this up because a guy told me he has a preference for skinnier girls. I’m a little bit thicker. But he convinced me he still thinks I’m beautiful and it doesn’t matter. But to me, I’m thinking now he’s settling. He could easily go find a skinnier girl. I don’t want him looking at me and thinking “oh she could be skinnier”. Like that shit is devastating. I know I’m probably overreacting or whatever. But I just don’t know why people settle. It just makes the other person feel like shit, in my experience.

My style depends on the situation. I live a life of routine so I usually know what I'm doing for the day. (And the outfit I wear most is my school uniform anyways, so yeah.) If I'm going to do sport or fishing I'll wear baggy clothes, and I have a few T-shirts, polos and pairs of jeans I can wear to more formal occasions. Some shirts of varying thicknesses account for temperature differences because I am very sensitive to that sort of thing from the waist up. And I never leave the house without my watch and hat. Recently I've been tucking my shirt into my jeans to show my weight loss but it's never out of a desire to attract women. I just think it looks good and it is more so for myself to see and less so for others. I have an ace ring but it's no longer tight enough to stay on my finger, and for all the times I've worn it outside the house I always get questions like "Are you engaged". I am planning to get another one. Basically there is only ...
