I’m a guy, 29 years old. I’m 5’8 and I am not in horrible shape, nothing 4 solid months of clean eating and exercise wouldn’t fix. I make 60k a year, I live in a very modern apartment complex with my dog. For lack of a better way to say this next part without sounding pretentious, I’m also very attractive in the face. I often get compliments from strangers saying I look like celebrities like (young Tom cruise, young Emilio Estivez,) blah blah blah. From the outside looking in, people might find it a bit odd that I am single. People who don’t really know me that is. My friends know that I have less than zero percent confidence. Let me explain why. I had a girlfriend one time in high school… but that was 12 years ago. She was hands down the best looking girl at our school, but she only dated me cuz we grew up in a small town of 800 people and there were only 80 kids in our high school. Myself and ten others where athletes so I hung out with “the popular kids” if that’s even a thing… a...

32F, have been out of the dating game for a while now. Going on a date next week with a guy (36M) I met online last year. We didn't hit it off straight away, I had very bad anxiety and lots of issues at home that made it hard to engage on the dates. We decided to try again to see if there is anything there. I am feeling a lot of pressure now. I am super conscious of what I say, do, behave, wear and just hyper anxious. Any advice on how to be chill? Also our texting is more platonic and friendly. I am pretty flirty but I feel like I've lost the touch, it could be because I am super anxious. I'm wondering, should I flirt via text or sext before our date? We had 3 dates before and all were platonic and friendly, things I would do with a friend, no physical contact apart from a hug. When is the right time to flirt or sext? I don't want to be seen as a creep. Submitted January 14, 2023 at 01:15AM 32F, have been out of the dating game for a while now. Going on a date...

I've been in-between jobs recently due to the holiday hiring freeze, which is what I explained to a woman who I think was considering me as a romantic prospect when she asked me very directly (twice in the same night) why I was in-between-jobs. She then offered to assist me with my resume because she was also doing that for someone else. This conversation occurred on January 3rd. I followed up with her on her offer to assist me with my resume on January 10th. On January 3rd I asked her why she got engaged to her ex-fiance' and she said that they had been living together already, no one had ever proposed to her before, and said rather tersely that he "had his shit together" My friend told me that she was likely implying something about my situation. Earlier today she asked me if I "worked today" while in the presence of a guy "friend" that she is living with, but supposedly not in a committed romantic relationship with. My friend told me that she...

I have been out of the dating game for over 4 years now, my ex last time asked me out so I didn't have to figure it out, but my question is how can you tell if someone is single, or they are dating?

Its been a looong time since I thought someone was cute here in my college town, especially enough to make me get excited and giddy like a little school girl who has a crush, lol. I'm a manager/cashier at this local restaurant. I've seen this man probably three times ever in the past three months but something about him...I want to get to know him but our interactions are so short and infrequent that I never get the chance (or courage) to speak to him or ask him something. The first time I saw him he came in with a hoodie, and didn't get a good look at his face but something told me he was cute lol Next time he came in without a hoodie on and oh my goshh... Let's just say, I have a crush now. He didnt come in for over a month so I kinda forgot/gave up on seeing him again. He came in a few days ago and after he told me his name i messed up and asked him again bc I was too busy in my head, happy he was finally calling an order in after so long. He came in, food was alre...
