Context: 1st date, we had drinks/grabbed dinner, got to know each other, similar humor, and plenty of texting before and after the 1st date. We hooked up, cuddled for hours, and we texted frequently after the 1st date. We have another date planned for Saturday. So this will be our 2nd date. But... She was texting me today, and we were bantering back and forth. Towards the end, I sent her a funny meme that only she would get and then sent another text, "Hey, by the way what's your last name?" Is that weird? I just didn't want to come off creepy, but I'm interested in her + I have another friend who has the same name as well.

Alright. Ditch the "you have lots of time, things will naturally change" etc comments, I've read all those on other posts. Here's my problem. I m21 have the least amount of social/dating/sexual experience out of any single person I know. Never been on a date, never talked to a girl "in that way", I've only ever gotten most of my friends as girls, where all of em except 1 flaked away. The one sticking around is one of my closest friends and can't give advice for sh* so here I am asking, how do I start? I've been on dating apps for years now and have gotten many snaps/#s but can't get any further. I feel like my social anxiety holds me back from going for anything, I've been invited to meet up by people on tinder and literally don't respond because I don't wanna say no but can't say yes. I've met some people through work that seem cool, have good vibes and I'd like to get to know more but I can't make non-work re

Tldr; I’m very interested in a guy I’ve only met recently, but also have a chance to get back with my ex who I care for and know very well. My ex and I were together for a year and friends for two years. He broke things off (5 months ago). We were both going through difficult times with our mental health and couldn’t focus on each other. Now, other than this, we care about and trust each other so much. The sexual chemistry was 👌. And he is an all round fabulous guy. We are ‘low contact’ which is mostly no contact but we call every one or two months. Since breaking up, I’ve asked him if he thinks we will have a future. He’s said he honestly doesn’t know, although one time he accidentally said he would “definitely-“ and then stopped saying that, I believe it was to not mislead me? Anyway , for the first four months my hopes were very high. I made a tinder account about 2 months ago to make friends as I recently moved (which I was very honest about friendship-only to people on the a

I've told them I'm bi and polyamory. They were ok with bi but weren't ok with polyamory at all. They almost didn't come to my wedding and only recently ok with it. I haven't told my parents I'm ace and never plan to. They don't need to know but my loves know. I told my husband and wife that I'm ace they they were ok with it but thought there was something mental wrong with me. ( there is but that's not why I'm ace) I'm just happy they don't mind my sex limited lifestyle and they still love me anyway Ps I'm a bi romantic graysexual November 03, 2022 at 12:35AM

They hate what isn’t like them. What they don’t understand. November 03, 2022 at 12:34AM

Hi all, I (24F) was dating this man (35M) for close to 3 months (I know, still early... but I caught strong feelings...). We are from the same religious and ethnic background as well so the foundations were there immediately. We saw each other both with the intentions to marry (very common in my culture so pls don't judge). He made a mutual agreement to not get physical and instead focused on building a connection/emotional bond. His whole family knows about me. Out of nowhere he dropped the bomb on me and told me that he's not ready for a commitment and it's too overwhelming for him. I was in a lot of pain and I am slowly coming to accept this despite the confusion on mutually understood intentions. I haven't spoken to him since but he has let me know that he regrets letting me go and then I told him to take some time to think about this but I'm not leaving my life on hold for him while he figures it out. He said okay and agreed and he'd think about what to
