I got out of a long term relationship in Summer 2019 and I’ve stayed single for a little more than a year to focus on finishing my grad degree, work, and myself. I’ve been quite happy since then and decided to try dating again recently. Due to COVID, I gave the dating apps a shot and met a girl on FB dating. We had an uncanny amount of similar interests and our conversations flowed naturally for the past few weeks. We had a phone call and talked for a couple hours and even did a video conference for a few hours. Everything was looking up and I was in a good place. We decided to try a real date by going out to dinner. We had a blast and we kissed at the end. She text me when she got home, saying she had a great time and we even discussed doing a second date. The next day, we chatted a bit, but something seemed off. Despite that, she liked the idea I had for a second date destination the next week. However, the next morning, she text me saying she loves our conversations, thinks I’m ha...

I did say I was going to be coming here a lot. So for the backstory you could see the previous post on my page. So I called the girl I’ve been crushing on to ask if she was willing to go get a cup of coffee (instead of the dog play date since that had to be canceled). She nicely said yes and said she was available tonight, so I took her for it. Again this is the first time that I’m actually doing this in hopes for it to actually materialize into something. I’m n a perfect world we would had gotten coffee and I would had proposed seeing a movie at the theaters. Now theaters are closed so there goes that. I don’t want to ask her to my place just to watch a movie because I think that would be too much and maybe sending a wrong signal. Would just talking over coffee be enough or should I plan to do something afterwards? Thanks in advance. Submitted November 10, 2020 at 11:40PM I did say I was going to be coming here a lot.

I (24F) told a guy(24M) that I've been talking to for awhile (and we both like each other a lot) that he's everything I ever wanted in a guy. I know if I were told this, I would be taken by surprise but also flattered. Do/would you guys feel the same way? Or would you be freaked out? How would you react?

Like if you don’t want to talk to someone anymore as hard as the conversation will be you should just have it. Like I thought this person liked me like I liked them and clearly they don’t ... Whenever I asked to see him he’d say he’s busy . All the time, and never made plans for us.. I want to call him out and be like if you don’t want to talk then say it cause just ignoring and then not ever making plans anymore hurts, when you knew I was looking for something serious . But I don’t know if that’s a good idea. I’m just hurt and I feel like I’m never going to find the right person ... I just try so hard for people , as trying to be in a relationship and also just in friendships and I feel like I get no where ... I just wish a man would come along and want to be with me, want to see me. Make plans for us and stick to them and not cancel... I’m 23F I get I’m young but still .. it hurts so much to have someone make you feel special and then they just stop talking to you . I myself ...

Ok so let me give you guys a little background about me. i’m in my mid 20s. i came from a well off family so i’m financially secure, have dealt with addiction and legal troubles all my adult life. no education really just working jobs remodels or lawn care. and i finally got my life together sort of. sober and about to have a house and working a steady job. but i’m in a new area and don’t have many opportunities to meet women my age. on top of that all my relationships previously have been with girls who aren’t the best influences. they liked drugs and partying and weren’t very reliable but they were fun. and now that i’m living life the right way i guess i feel like i couldn’t attract a women who is sober and has her life together and is pretty. i guess because i don’t think they exist or they won’t be as fun? i feel like once a girl knew my past and how i fucked up so bad even while having all the opportunity in the world they just wouldn’t want to be with me. i probably have low se...

So basically me and this girl have been talking for nearly a month and I just want to know if you guys think she’s into me, I’d be cool if she was. She has sent various pics and videos of herself trying to be all cute and stuff (like with her tongue out and whatever girls do to be cute). But on this last dm it seems like something might have gone (slightly) wrong. Or am I over thinking it? This is our convo Her: after talking about school) “Sorry for the rant ahhaah.” Me: it’s ok, it’s fun talking to you Her: “haha, same to you? (Haha) ofc! <3” So I’m just a bit worried on if she is still interested bc when I said it’s fun talking to her, the first part of the dm said, “haha, same to you?” With a question mark. Does this mean she thinks I’m boring? But at the same time a few days ago she seemed to be interested when she was sending cute selfies, and videos of herself and asking me questions in her videos. And my main goal is to keep her interested until COVID has chilled out a...

Hi im a 25 year old man and slowly starting to shed my tough shell that i built up after having had a realy realy bad relationship in the past that got me into al sorts of trouble at the age of 16. It has been a rough journey to finding out who i am and trying to be myself and confident i myself. Thing is ive always simply ben a nice kindhearted gentelmen and as such i feel like i should be playing the cute guy a bit more when i try to flirt. Btw im absolutely the worst at social interactions since i have autism yet i feel like if i know what game im playing i can kinda figure out the rules. I tried to put up the tough cool guy act for a while but i just feel like a dick every time i do. Even tho it does sortof get people there attention. Honestly i simply want companionship and someone i can trust im not looking to date. A model i just want someone to love me the same way i love and care for everyone else and as such i want to be atractive for others yet i dont know how. Im simply s...

(M18) my best friends sister told her mom and brother (who’s my bestfriend) that she likes me. I had no idea that she did. Everytime I would go over she would go out of her way to try talking to me. However the only problem is that she’s 16 and I just feel like that’s too young? if she was 17 or 18 I would consider dating her but she’s 16. And well today my bestfriend told me that if I could, to take her sister out on a date, I don’t want to be rude and say no since I’ve know him and his family for years but like I don’t really want to mislead her or anything. I already told him how I feel about the situation but he said his parents don’t mind. What should I do?

Stay away from dating sites until you get rid of your boring, old plain personality. It’s like some of these people grew up in a farm in the middle of nowhere or in a town of only 50 people.

So, I'm new here, hi! I'm a 28 year old guy (about to turn 29 in November- fuck ) who's kind of been out of the dating scene for a while. I've tried to dip my toes back in here and there, but haven't really taken it seriously. For context, I was dating someone that I worked with back in 2017, she was a mom, divorced, and had dated another guy I never knew about after she got out of her marriage. He was a drug addict and irresponsible from the sounds of it. They lived together for sometime and he helped with her kids (why she let someone actively abusing substances and not being in a stable state of mind around her kids is something that will always escape me). So, he got locked up before her and I started dating, she never mentioned him-not once until close to when he was getting out, and decided she needed to tell me about him in case she decided to let him be around her kids. I was respectful but very, very hesitant. I always knew the boundaries she has as a par...

21F here, I was dating a 20M who i met through a mutual friend. we got on super well, the dates were good, we even spoke on the phone for hours some nights, and messaged throughout the days. the chemistry was great and we had so much fun on our dates. i really thought we would be together honestly, and after a lot of bad luck with men i thought that streak had finally ended. but i was wrong apparently! so it all went downhill after we slept together. yep! u can already guess. we had sex, all was well during and after, nothing felt different and i went on my merry way. but a couple days after, he basically stops messaging me, only replying once every 24 hours or so. his energy COMPLETELY changed, and i asked whats going on to which he said he's just busy and tired. it's been over a week of this now and we haven't spoken for 2 days, and i really fear the worst; that he just wanted to sleep with me. this brings me to my main point of this post: I want to address this somehow...

So about two weeks ago I went on my first date in 10 years. The last time I dated was in high school. When that relationship ended I was afraid to date again. I didn’t put myself out there for years until recently. I met this girl on tinder,I asked her out we went out for drinks. She said she had fun and liked me and I like her. I was head over heals. She suggested a second date before the first one ended. Well we walked in a park for our second date. She told me I was kind and caring but she wasn’t ready to date. She said she thought she was but changed her mind and just wanted to be friends. Since then I have had this feeling of being unworthy and been thinking about what I did wrong. Does anyone have any advice how to overcome this feeling and get back into dating. Does anyone have any dating advice.

I’ve been dating my girlfriend for about 3 months now and lately I don’t feel like I’ve been giving all that I can as a boyfriend. I always tell her she can come to me with whatever she wants/needs, make sure she’s okay, and treat her right. I want to ask her if there’s anything more I can do for her or if perhaps is there anything I’m doing too much. But I’m afraid asking her might push her back or make her lose faith in me.

I marched with a girl on hinge. We haven’t met yet. Her profile seemed compatible with my interests, she seems good looking, and potentially someone who I’d like to meet. After some chit chat about mutual interests, I asked her if she would like to meet up for coffee, or do a video date next week. She responded by saying she is carefully vetting people right now because of covid and wants to see if we would be compatible in our outlook towards relationships, kids, expectations, dealbreakers etc... no big deal, I answered those questions, asked her the same, and I think we’re on the same page. Now she wants to have a call or video chat before she agrees to a date to see if we’re on the same page and to see if there are any red flags. This whole situation seems weird to me. I want to meet her and see if we would get along, but I feel like I’m being made to check all her boxes before we’ve even met. For me, the box checking comes after meeting someone and finding out if you’re compati...

This is probably the weirdest thing that has happened to me in forever !🤔 Long story short a good looking girl followed me on Instagram randomly and liked a lot of my photos .(this is back in January) I liked hers back and dmed her and we made plans to meet up for a little photo shoot, she was very playful with me and our photos came out great only at the end did she mention that she had a a BF... but wanted to be my friend since she liked My energy ... we ended up linking up again at a restaurant for brunch, we talked and made plans to link then Covid happened.. we made plans to go for a ride on my my Motorcyle back in August but the day we where supposed to ride it got to 100 plus degrees .. we canceled and then I went away to flight academy.. I just now got back and tried to message her and realized that she not only blocked me on Instagram but when I texted her she read it and then blocked my number ... what could have possible happened.. before all of this we Where super cool an...

As men on dating apps such as Tinder, we're competing very hard for just average girls. I was talking to a decent looking girl that I met from Tinder - she's relatively cute but there's nothing too significant about her looks. In public she would just be an average girl, to be honest. We followed each other on Instagram and a couple days later, I creeped her profile out of curiosity and decided to check her Followers list. Since I followed her, 5 other men have followed her as well. I know that there's a chance that not all of them are from Tinder but 5 men in a row? Pretty low chance that they're not all from Tinder if it was 5 men in a row, after me. Surprise, she stopped talking to me and has probably shifted her attention to one of those other guys. This just made me realize how horrible dating apps are for us men and why we should quit them or not take them as seriously. I honestly don't think we would have a fraction of the competition if we went for wome...

Anyone have advice to stop constantly thinking about an ex? Submitted October 14, 2020 at 12:17AM Anyone have advice to stop constantly thinking about an ex?

So I don't online date because I struggle on those apps. I post quality pictures. Good bio but never any luck. I'm not an ugly guy I'm just short. I'm a realist and I know I'm at a huge disadvantage because of my height. Recently I was told by a girl you need to try a thousand times harder to get a girl. She didn't mean it with mal intent. She was trying to be inspirational I guess. In my head, I was like f**k that bs. Not worth it. I'm not going to go above and beyond because people don't like the way I look in regards to something I can't change about myself. Clearly, I don't have a chance online and in-person it seems like you only meet people at bars. I don't like going to bars and clubs. I'm in my mid-twenties and going out like that isn't exciting anymore. What I do is I Box and do Kyokushin Karate. So I go to two different gyms multiple times a week. No one my age that's a girl so it's frustrating. I live in America a...
