How do you make it not feel like a waste of time when you’re not into casual sex and want a long term relationship when most people in the dating pool can’t decide what they want for breakfast? Maybe I need to be more patient. I’ve been on less Dates as time goes on because I’m learning what to look out for and stay away from. I started off going on very sketchy dates but now that never happens anymore so I’m ok with going on less dates. But I’m burnt out. People are hot and cold and I just am not that interested to begin with. How do you deal with dating burnt out? I don’t think I’m ready to give up just yet.

Yup. I'm pretty pissed. We've been on multiple dates and had an amazing connection, at least that's how I felt. First time she cancelled for a pretty good reason but left me in the dark about it until the afternoon of our date and I had to ask her for her to even tell me she couldn't see me. After cancelling I asked her, "You're still interested in seeing me right?" Because it felt odd that I had to wait around all day to get an answer. She ignored me all day which really bothered me. Tried texting again later and calling that night but no response and I gave up. She apologized in text the next day and explained she was hesitant because of shit she went through in her past. We talked through all of it and I forgave her asking her to re do the date next week. The date rolls around and what do you know, I'm still not getting an idea of if I'm seeing her or not. Called her in the AM to try and figure out what we're doing for the day and no res...

I (19F) just had the most awkward time tonight at my ‘guy friends’ (19M) house. He’s usually a really nice and shy guy and I consider myself very passive, not one to speak out and on the shy side myself. We started talking about a month ago and hung out a few times before today as well, he actually even asked me to be his girlfriend today. I initially said yes (impulse, I didn’t mean it idk why I said it) but then I thought about it and said that we should slow down and get to know each other more. It’s only be a month, like I mentioned earlier. Anyways, today we were just hanging out and he was acting a little weird, scooting closer to me, moving around where ever I moved, etc…I guess he was trying to make a move but didn’t know how, which I didn’t realize until now. Then all of sudden he put his arm around me which I didn’t mind, then he started to rub my arm, which I also didn’t mind. But then he just randomly started to rub my shoulders lightly and then when I didn’t say anything,...

If I'm looking for serious people and not screwing on the first date why lie about your looks with old ass profile pics before we meet your age and your income when I told you exactly what I'm looking for and you don't fit the bill stop pretending because then I'm going to hate you for wasting my time and lying to me! Ugh Don't do this men! And when i say Im not submissive you wont be GQ enough to MAKE ME submit how is it anyone thinks they can do that shit????

I’m in a similar situation where I have a (mostly) nonjudgmental family, but I don’t find coming out to them necessary. I have mentioned being asexual when it came up in natural conversation, but that’s it. I (AFAB) started dating a transgender girl, and no explanation was necessary. I didn’t need to explain my whole sexuality or romantic orientation (which is good, because it’s complicated!). They just accepted that I was dating a girl, and that was fine. I think only my mom and girlfriend know that I’m nonbinary, but again, I don’t really care if it comes up in conversation. I’m just not going to sit everyone down and come out to them, because none of that really changes much about me or how I want them to interact with me. March 22, 2022 at 12:43AM

I went on a date yesterday, was really nice and seemed like he had a great time. I still haven’t heard from him since the date, it’s been 12+ hours, I’m just wondering what the “time limit” to get a text back if he is interested? He is older (30+) than what I’m used to date and barley use social media.

I've been crushing big time on my college classmate for maybe 3 months? There are definitely possible signs of interest on his end. Small things like us matching on Tinder once, him offering me a ride the first time we ever had a one on one conversation, him asking if I was getting coffee twice, many looks in class etc. Most recently he eavesdropped on a conversation between my friend and I, in which I jokingly said "God, why can't I meet someone NICE" and he turned around and laughed. He seems a bit nervous around me. He also tends to look at me whenever he says something in class or loudly infront of our classmates, almost like he wants to gauge my reaction. It could all be in my head but idk...I get a vibe. Thing is, we have literally TWO weeks of class left. And then a month of exams. We've only become friendly with each other in the last 3/4 weeks of class. I'm torn between well if he wanted to he would just ask me out and he hasn't so there's ...
