Should I continuing seeing this guy?

This guy and I have been on dates 3 times. We talked about what we both wanted out of this. I wanted a relationship, and he wanted to see where this goes. Told me that he sees me as a potential partner in a relationship on the second date. Then on the third date he says sadly that he dont think we’re compatible bc I didn’t do a lot of hobbies of his, which I say I was willing to try with him even though I’ve never done them. He also say that relationships are not something he feels like just jumping in, and that it takes time for him.

I feel like such a small incompatibility I am willing to compromise for as I don’t think anything will be 100% perfect in a relationship and it takes compromise from both sides for a relationship to last and work. But for him to say that makes me wonder if I’m not good enough for him to willing to compromise for, thus making me just casual fun for him.

On the other hand, I feel like I am also thinking too much about this, as he is super sweet and romantic. He tells me frequently that he likes me and we both contribute equally to planning dates and meeting up, as well as for paying for food and such. He is also very considerate of my likes and dislikes, and even though we’re not in a relationship, for example, the last date he asked me and let me know that he will try not to drink too much when hanging out with friends since he knows I don’t drink or like alcohol.

It’s just that his comment made me insecure about the potential of where this is going, I would hate to go on so many dates and waste time for someone for them to fall out and just be friends, but it looks like for him it does take time(which is his love language) and that he is somewhat serious with me. I know some people aren’t official until months in, so I feel like I am too rushy and hopeful for someone I’ve been seeing for only 2 weeks. I think I just need more outside perspectives on this.

The difference between being right and being understood

My boyfriend and I are 28. We’ve been together for about 1.5 years and recently moved in together. He’s a pretty patient and easygoing person (Type B) whereas I’m more particular (Type A). Of course there are two sides to every trait, and my Type A nature benefits us in some ways too. Like all couples, we have differences in perspective or preference. When this happens, he will usually say something like “I disagree (with your perspective) but fine.” I tend to push the issue in an attempt to get him to understand where I’m coming from. This escalates the disagreement into a fight because he perceives it as me trying to be “right”. I truly just want to be understood (and I want to understand where he’s coming from) so I’m looking for more of a dialogue whereas he avoids conflict and just wants it to be over as quickly as possible. His general approach is “agree to disagree” but that doesn’t make sense to me when it’s an issue that will keep coming up and requires compromise. I’m n...

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

I’ve always been extremely private and introverted. We have more than a year together and we’ve been living together for like 6 months, we get along pretty good and I’m really in love with her, however I can not seem to open up... and I can tell it’s frustrating to her by the way she tells me it bothers her that she feels she’s the only one committed and the one that’s always sharing... At this point I don’t even know if it is that I’ve gotten too used to it, to the point I’ve became lazy to talk about myself or give any genuine personal opinion... it sucks, really, I need to communicate better... Where do I start? Tl;dr: I can’t be completely intimate with my gf and its frustrating her, I need to communicate better because I really love her... where to start?

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.

I met my girlfriend after a few serious breakups that led me to change both intentionally and unintentionally over a few years. For better and for worse. She had just gotten out of an engagement with a verbally and physically abusive man who had a cocaine problem. We have been together about 8 months now. We hit it off and spent a lot of time together but she began to push our relationship as if there were a time clock for milestones. I was pressed beyond my comfort zone and went with it because of my affection for her. My living situation fell apart and I lost a few thousand dollars to shit roommates right around the time she and I met and she offered to let me stay with her. I agreed with some resistance. I pay for food, help her with bills, and throw money toward rent while trying to get back on my feet. As long as we have been together she has gotten more possessive, angry, and irrational. She is dealing with shit from her engagement and I feel shes looking for a level of seriou...
