For context I’m new to this dating world, I find it very hard talking to people face to face so I decided to try online dating. I recently started talking with this guy who wouldn’t talk that much on text, but when we’re on call he wouldn’t shut up. I asked him about it and he says it’s because he doesn’t talk that much in general he’s more of a “listener”. I understand that, but a friend of mine joked about maybe he’s hiding something and doesn’t want leaked chats. Am I overthinking? HELP!

Throwaway account. I started talking to this guy in September, went out with him on two dates. I made out with him on the second date and we decided to see where things would go. I have an issue with making out that I’ve struggled with for years, where I feel awful after I do it because I generally like to get physically intimate with someone only after I emotionally connect with them or am in a committed relationship with them. However, I have still ended up doing casual for quite a number of times against my better judgement. So after I started talking to him, I made out with another friend of mine whom I’ve been attracted to physically for a year now. It’s just physical attraction, but I felt awful afterwards as if I was cheating on this guy and I told him about it. He was understanding but also asked me what exactly we did (details), was it just kissing or more etc and I felt uncomfortable about it, and he has brought that up again and again. I told him we just kissed because I do

Ummm, I’ll do my very best to keep it as short as possible but I apologize in advance if it’s long. (Sorry for mobile) I (F27) left an abusive relationship almost two years ago, and just recently my therapist said she thought it would be good for me to start dating again. I really struggle to identify if something is a red flag or I’m overthinking because of trauma. I started talking to this guy 30M we’ll call John. John and I really hit it off. Had a ton in common, held good conversations, really sweet. We moved from Tinder to messaging on Snapchat and it was going smoothly. I asked him after a few days if he wanted to plan to meet up and he said he wasn’t ready yet, he was kinda nervous and self conscious and wanted to wait a little longer. I completely understood. I’m usually really shy too. I reassured him and we kept just messaging and talking on the phone. He started to get clingy and really sappy and at first it was kind of nice. It was sweet. But it’s gotten to a point it’s

I'm 29f. I met this girl 20 (Girl A) we agreed that things would be causal/ fwb. We hook up every now and then. But I've noticed she's gotten more attached messages me she misses me and stuff. I do like her and she's super pretty. She's chill with polyamory which is my preference another plus. I started talking to another girl 24 (Girl B) we've gotten on a couple dates and I like her like a lot a lot. But she wants monogamy I'm not against it i like her enough to do that. I would feel guilty if I had sex with girl A I'm thinking of telling her we can't have sex anymore. I don't know if that would be premature though girl B and I aren't anything official. I like girl A and have a good time with her. Potentially ruining something with her for another that isn't official seems weird to me idk. Either way i feel like girl A is getting too attached IDK what to do Submitted November 20, 2023 at 12:17AM I'm 29f. I met this girl 20 (Gi
