I (F27) have been on three dates with a new guy (M32). We have fun together, he has continued to schedule dates with me and talks about wanting to hang out/future ideas for dates. We have both expressed we are into each other. We talk on the phone during the week, and text, but not constantly. On date three I tried to start touching his arm, being closer to him, as we have not kissed or anything yet. But I wanted to show I’m interested in touching. He also seemed to try touch me more, though it was a bit awkward. Later in the date, he held my hand in the car, but stopped shortly after. It was really awkward to me that he pulled away after being the one to reach for my hand. I felt like he didn’t like it or something?! Maybe he just felt weird. The exchange was exciting but awkward and I don’t know if I just suck at this, he’s not sure if he’s fully into me, or what! I’m hoping for smoother physical contact on date 4 this weekend. I guess I’m just wondering, is it okay that things are ...

Okay this seems stupid, but I was talking to a guy for ab a month n then we started hanging out. We had fun together n after we hung out the first time he asked me if I wanted to go back to his to play games or whatever, I couldn’t bc we had ppl coming over later so it was all fine. He then ignored me for like a week or so. N I asked if he wanted to do smthn,, we decided to go on an actual date to a restaurant. It was rlly nice. I naively agreed to go back to his house….. (I shld stress there were alarm bells ringing n I’m not stupid but I rlly didn’t want to believe my instinct) Anyways we sat n watched a movie for a bit,, he started getting a bit restless tho (he was v h rd- I pretended not to notice…), we were talking n I jokingly said that I was the strongest person alive (I’m horrifyingly weak) we ended up having an arm wrestle, it was kinda funny bc I had to cheat to win,, but we ended up play fighting, n he choked me a few times- n honestly I didn’t know how to react- like w...

So this girl, I am dating for like 2 months, we are kinda long distance now from each other (she is in one country and I am in another for higher study purpose). So usually, we chat for long times in messenger 'and call sometimes. So what happened yesterday is that, she texted me saying that why I have kept her in 'seen' and then texted ' you made me feel stupid '. She was writing big messages saying if there was any misunderstanding and if I was offended by any of her remarks. Now, what I responded saying if she was accusing me. She then told to drop the issue and move on. Today I talked to her directly and she told me she was a bit angry cause she was writing this large message regarding different stuffs we usually talk about, I was sometimes not replying but kept them 'seen'. She repeatedly told me to not open messages if I have no time to chat as she understands that I am busy. So then she told me she was a bit offended about why I did not ask her abou...

asexual men exist! i may be undateable because of my kink but there's other non-kinky ace guys out there! millions of em! September 01, 2022 at 11:17PM

Of course it's possible ! Love doesn't have to be linked to sex ! Being clear about your asexuality and that you don't like to engage in sexual activities is important, this way you avoid getting hurt/hurting someone by trying a relationship with someone who needs sex in their romantic life. I know you're hurt right now but I want you to know that you'll find love and happiness once again. I'm ace and in a relationship with a allo/demisexual (he doesn't like labels and idk which one fits him best). I found out I'm ace around the time we started dating and during the first few months we had sex quite some times but I gradually became more and more repulsed by sex and now... Let's just say I'm very lucky that he's kind of repusled by sex too and doesn't care if we don't do anything. By his words "I don't care about sex, I care about being with you, because I love you more than I love sex, I don't need it, I want to be wi...
