How to cancel on a clingy Hinge date

TLDR: I have a 'date' with a girl from Hinge who lives an hour and a half away. We scheduled a date already but I'm no longer comfortable with meeting up, so I want to cancel- but she's bringing her two friends that are a couple for a double date and I don't want to ruin her friends' time.

I matched with a girl on Hinge (we're both college-aged, I'm in uni and she's not), who lives roughly an hour and a half away. We were texting for quite a while and I was genuinely expressing quite a bit of interest in her hobbies- eventually we ended up calling for several hours. I did enjoy talking to her, but it was slightly off putting when she started texting me pretty often- she'd text me things like "yippee I'm now going to get dinner" or "i am getting ready for work", followed up by "i am heading to work yippee" and then multiple consecutive texts about how her shift at work was going. I said I had class every day and was pretty busy, she'd also ask me "oh when's your exam" "how was class" etc. pretty frequently.

We'd already scheduled a date for this upcoming weekend, but the more we've texted over the past few days the more I want to cancel, but I don't want to just ghost her. She told me she wanted to bring her two friends and go on a double date for safety if she was going to drive to my town, and since I was still figuring out what I wanted out of meeting/going on dates with people, I said I was absolutely okay with that and it was fine with me. I respect that she's putting in the effort to invite her friends and she's volunteered to bake everything since we're going on a picnic, but then again...

I don't want to ghost someone, but I also don't know what the best way to approach this is 😅

Oh I also thought I'd mention, she said she already showed my profile to both her parents and a number of her friends. We haven't even met up or video called yet. I just found that slightly strange...

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...
