I'm kind of in a weird situation. There is someone who knows me IRL who did repeatedly demonstrate some interest in me. We're both clearly attracted to each other and from our conversations it does seem like we'd be a good match. However, it's been slow... and there are some issues (we live together in a group being the biggest one). I think the situation is too complicated to pursue so I'm throwing in the towel. I'm old enough to know when to let people go if it's better for the both of us...so I've basically been slow fading on him over text and being cordial/polite when I see him around. I think he got the message because he hasn't reached out in a while. I'm still kind of into him, but it just doesn't look like it's gonna happen. However, I also have a lot of free time as it's a chiller period in my career. I wanted to download some apps and start meeting new people, which I know has helped me get over people in the past. And w...

Hey guys. I have just started college as a freshman and it has only been a couple of months since I left home. My dad my whole life has always been adamant about me not dating boys until 16, but when the age came he was still on edge whenever I even mentioned a boy, be it a friend or someone I had to work on a project with. So my dating life as been nonexistent and because I was not aloud to hang out with boys I don’t really know how to interact with them naturally like some of my friends do. Anyways, I am super oblivious to somethings until the answer is basically handed to me on a silver-platter so when my dad started introducing me to a guy over and over again I did not think much of it. But now I have seen this guy multiple times and we have been pushed into awkward convos for a long time while our parent went to go talk for a bit. It is super awkward and I think the guy is just as confused as I am about our parents wanting us to talk. Until one day I was so happy to see a famili...

As an alloromantic I can confirm attraction is not about recognising that someone fits a standard. I can recognise someone as having attractive features or suiting a standard without feeling attraction to them and feel attraction I recognise as something I shouldn't act on.

I (29F) recently moved to a new city where I met a guy (35M) off a dating app. He is an assistant football coach at a major university in the area. Anyway, we hooked up a few times a month ago but he has obviously been super busy with the season. He would text me sporadically but is not good at holding a conversation. After not hearing from him for over a week, I figured it was going nowhere so unmatched him on the dating site so I didn’t see if he updated his profile or anything. He noticed that I unmatched him and asked me about it and I said because I didn’t think he was interested. We had a brief conversation and I texted him a week later and we had a flirty conversation where he said he is less boring during the off season and is looking forward to having more fun. I said “we will need to have fun together sometime” to which he replied: “Haven’t you found my replacement off Bumble?” And when I said I hadn’t he said “lol how often do you meet up with guys like that?” I responded ...

Through a new feature on Tiktok, I have found out that I am in the contacts of a girl in my school's phone who I have never talked to before. So I have no idea why she has my number saved. I know it's random and not really meant for this sub but what do I do with this information lol Submitted November 06, 2022 at 12:11AM Through a new feature on Tiktok, I have found out that I am in the contacts of a girl in my school's phone who I have never talked to before.

I just got to know a guy who’s really cute and already started to like me after a short time. I also felt that I kinda like him and I even already could imagine a relationship with him. I have to say that I kinda have fear of relationship, so I had more FWB in the past. And I also need a longer time and a stronger will to get into a relationship bc I always kinda try to find things about my date in the beginning which make me feel like a relationship wouldn’t work and finally lead to struggles and doubts about continuing dating. I‘m not that sure, but I guess this time it’s a bit different. I don’t have anything against gamers (some of my friends are also gaming and ofc it’s totally fine for me). But somehow it’s a kinda strong turn off for me when the guy games (rather then spend time with me) and I‘m always afraid that he really would prefer it a lot over me and I would feel bad about this. The guy I meet now is a really nice and cute guy and I really felt so comfortable with him, ...
