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.

So I’ve been seeing this girl at the gym for several weeks now practically every day and we’ve never spoken. We’ll just briefly make eye contact and she’ll smile at me, I’ll smile back, and that’s it. I decided to go and meet her since I’m cool with pretty much all of the gym regulars there.

I haven’t asked her out yet. Submitted March 11, 2023 at 12:11AM So I’ve been seeing this girl at the gym for several weeks now practically every day and we’ve never spoken.

It’s like a rollercoaster of love and fear and terror and fun and wanting and trust and whirly emotions, when you really like someone and they act like they really like you back and you spend heaps of time together and aren’t seeing other people, but haven’t had the dtr talk yet. What do you say to yourself or do to manage all the emotions and wants?

I feel like this forum doesn't know how dating world works but at the same time i don't judge because most of the people who make threads here (not hating) either dated 1 in their lifetime or never so they don't know the reality of dating. Reminds me of the book Don't be nice guy.
