I’m 24F and I have two guy best friends (25M, 24M) whom I’ve grown up along the past 10 or so years. We’ve never hooked up or dated but I’m wondering that when I go out in public or just them simply being a part of my life is turning away guys who are potentially interested in me? My one of my friends (26F) mentioned that it might be a factor and so I’m curious of if it is and how big of a factor it is?

My ex of 4 years (25m) and I (24f) dated for 4 years throughout college ages 18-22. Because of that, we have many mutual friends from college. Almost every friend that we made in college is mutual to both of us. We didn’t end very amicably, but we’ve been able to maintain peaceful friendships with all of our mutual friends. My ex and I rarely communicate and we even live in different states. He lives in the Midwest , I don’t even know which state, and I live in Oregon. So there is very little chance of us crossing paths or having to see each other face-to-face if we didn’t want to . Recently our fantasy football league started up again. We’ve had the same league for five years, and it consists of my ex and I and eight other friends. Because the league was active again, people started texting in the group chat. I texted in the group chat and I didn’t think anything of it. A few days later, a girl friend in the group chat told me that my ex’s new girlfriend saw my name in the group chat...

My guy and I have been together for 19 months today. I have begged and pleaded to be represented on his social media as his girl. He's a traveler he goes all over the US. He did finally post me on his Instagram story. It was a photo of us the caption read beer and wings in our hometown. What the fuck. Is he just stringing me along with this? I've asked him if he denies me on socials because he has other girls lined up another cities. In the past I caught him with condoms in his travel bag. He refused to throw them away. Went behind my back to help his ex-girlfriend. Lied to me about the whole thing. And he kept tinder for months after we began dating. What do you think? Am I going to overboard with this?

So I've been on a couple dates with this guy which were both great if a little awkward but I think that's understandable, we had a date planned for tonight actually, but never nailed down a time when we talked about it a few days ago and he told me he had a super busy weekend coming up. But he hasn't texted me all day and I'm wondering if I should text him and see if everything's ok or accept the fact that I've potentially been ghosted. He's been very sweet and reassuring me that he's into me, so I don't think he'd do that, but I'm also very familiar with the knowledge that a guy doesn't just "forget" to text a girl he's really into. Just give it to me straight I gues😅 Submitted September 12, 2023 at 12:08AM So I've been on a couple dates with this guy which were both great if a little awkward but I think that's understandable, we had a date planned for tonight actually, but never nailed down a time when we t...

If you were to ask a girl to be your girlfriend and she’s not ready or wants to wait, do you wait for her to ask you to be her boyfriend or do you ask her again at a later time?

So, I had a couple of awesome dates with someone I find to be absolutely gorgeous that I met on a dating app. We agreed to meet again when we knew our upcoming schedules and texted a little. However, instead of being happy and embracing something that could’ve been a lot of fun and mutually beneficial, all I could think about was how this would end like prior flings. I’m not sure I can take the whole “you’re a great guy, but I don’t feel a spark” after weeks of seeing someone spiel again. So I deleted her number without responding - self sabotage. I thought dating and rejection would get easier over time, but the hurt only seems to have added up over time, even after taking extended breaks. Anyone ever feel like this and have thoughts on moving forward?
