So yah in the last week I have been on tinder and I have had great success. I am not trying to really date I set my info to friends only and I have been searching for people looking for the same. I went out for coffee today with a woman who I made it clear to that I am looking for friends and she was if the same mindset. I am nowhere near ready to jump in a relationship. Now she's texting me saying she wants to go on an official date date with me. That she sees a future with me..... I don't know how I can be more clear with people they I only want friends...

I (35f) have known a man (almost 50??) almost my whole life. He is a former student of my mom’s who kind of out of nowhere became close with our family, he pops in and out. The last time I saw him he had seen my fb status where I had tagged where I was with my family and he just showed up. I just found out he got divorced, idk how long ago. But I am very attracted to him. I never thought about him like that until learning he’s divorced. He’s never ever given me any idea he would think of me romantically but again, he was married. I saw him today. Nothing different about our interaction. I want to ask him out. I know it’s forward for a woman but idk, I wouldn’t mind even grabbing a beer with him sometime truthfully even if it’s not romantic. Is it weird? Should I do it? If I get rejected then I think it’ll be extremely weird… thoughts? Submitted May 01, 2022 at 12:02AM I (35f) have known a man (almost 50??) almost my whole life.

Hi, I'm a 25F and I feel kinda stuck at the moment. I've never had a real bf, and it seems like all the guys I come into contact with either overlook me, look down on me, treat me like a last option, ghost, already have a gf, etc. It doesn't help that I'm a dark skinned (black and Indian) woman living in an area where women with the features with the exact opposite of mine (white, blonde, light eyes) are seen as goddesses. I cannot leave because I'm studying grad school and want to get my PhD. I'm studying engineering btw, so there is no diversity in my field. Everyone is always saying how easy it is for women to find guys, but I guess I must not be a real woman because it has been the complete opposite for me. And yes, I do make the first move a lot of times because I won't get anywhere if I sit and wait. I don't think it's my weight or anything because I'm quite thin. I'd love some advice as to how I can spruce up my look since I think I

I like her, but don't have feelings for her in that sense. She wants a relationship, i am not ready for it and honestly don't want one with her. How do i tell her it's a "no" without losing her. We made out twice, and had no terms set about us. I like spending time with her and can't afford to lose her Submitted May 01, 2022 at 12:12AM I like her, but don't have feelings for her in that sense.

I come to the realization that I’m probably just gonna die alone I hate myself I hate the world I hate everything about life. I hate that I have a disability I hate that I have heart disease I hate that I had a stroke as a baby. The only happiness I get really is by hurting other people. Every time I try to even get a date with a girl I always get rejected or I get the idk maybe bullshit. I’m just sick of it all it just seems like I was just born with bad luck when it comes to dating. I fucking hate seeing all these couples on Instagram just bragging how much they love each other how great life is than you know what it’s like fuck off Submitted May 01, 2022 at 12:12AM I come to the realization that I’m probably just gonna die alone I hate myself I hate the world I hate everything about life.

it took me like 5 minutes to realize by "both" people didn't mean both dancers. April 30, 2022 at 11:17PM

my parents have assumed i (15f) was boyfriend-girlfriend with a boy who - i barely know - i am not even friends with - i do not talk to - i have never talked to in front of them - i have never even touched in front of them - literally the only thing we have in common is that our dads are pastors (and mine isn't anymore) i quickly resolved that misunderstanding but oh my god. they just take marriage and dating as a given, apparently i can't have any boy friends without it being taken as a boyfriend. many, many people have made the assumption that my best friend (17m, online) and i are dating or in a romantic relationship. it's made me extremely hesitant to show anything resembling romantic affection (even in private) to him, despite both of us agreeing that we don't want a relationship and he knows very well that i'm aroace. i'm trying to overcome that hesitation.
