Dating makes me feel worse than being single

I’ve been single since 2016 and am admittedly still in love with my ex. But recently, I’ve been trying to get back out there and try again only to find that I end up feeling worse. Five messages into a conversation with this one guy who I’m sure is great and sweet and I’m already getting a nervous uncomfortable feeling in my stomach. I guess I’m better off alone lol Submitted May 04, 2019 at 12:35AM I’ve been single since 2016 and am admittedly still in love with my ex.

[Advice] I accidentally found myself in a love triangle.

(Throwaway cause people in my life know about my main account) I'll try and keep this brief. So, a couple weeks ago, I matched with two guys on Hinge. I went on two dates with Boy #1 and one date with Boy #2. Turns out, they're best friends. Before finding out I had gone out with his friend, Boy #2 suggested a second date. Once he found out about Boy #1, he texted me saying it's best if him and I just stay friends because he didn't want to get in between Boy #1 and me. So the resolution of this awkward love triangle was that Boy #2 backed down, but I really really liked him. We have the same weird ass sense of humor, so I felt there was an instant connection. There was just more chemistry between Boy #2 and me. So now I don't know what to do. I don't even know if Boy #2 actually liked me and backed down because of his friend or if he was not that into me and let me down easy by using his friend as an excuse. I also don't wanna fuck up their friendship ...

32 and clueless. How do I even start dating again?

I recently got out of an 11-year relationship a few months ago that my therapist says she can only describe as emotionally abusive. I've always wanted kids, but it was something constantly held over my head like a carrot like if I did enough I'd get make babies with this woman I loved faithfully and unconditionally. Then sex was the carrot. Then physical affection followed by emotional affection. I've never been good at talking to women in any romantic capacity. I have zero game. I am so awkward, I constantly put my foot in my mouth when trying to break the ice or make jokes. This relationship has also left me feeling completely inadequate and unattractive. I legitimately do not know if I am even marginally attractive because I constantly feel like a troll due to years in this relationship that has been almost completely lacking in any positive feedback. My self-esteem is basically crushed. I have no idea how to start meeting new people or even begin to start dating wit...

When's the appropriate time to add on facebook the person you're dating?

If you're not already friends yet, of course. 6 dates? And who should add who? Thanks Submitted May 04, 2019 at 01:08AM If you're not already friends yet, of course. 6 dates? And who should add who?Thanks

Any dating apps that don’t totally suck?

Tinder was the shit back in the day. Now because of their algorithms it literally won’t even ever give me the girls who have liked my profile in the rotation. Anyone know one that doesn’t suck ass?

Interested in a immensely shy/depressed guy

He’s really cute and musically talented but he’s more shy than anyone I’ve known. He suffers immensely from depression, suicidal ideation, and anxiety. He started asking me to go to places with him BUT mostly in the presence of other people coming with us... I don’t know man... I text him a lot but I always text first and he lets convos die. But he’s also like INCREDIBLY shy.. won’t even make eye contact... so like it’s hard to say man. But I don’t know if I should keep annoyingly texting him first constantly if he’s just more of an introvert. Also what if it’s coming off desperate? Also if he’s struggling this much, maybe he doesn’t have the capacity to like... be in a relationship or date or any of it anyway? Idk what to do but I wanna text him when things happen in my day!!!

Setting a date a week away?

I meet this girl on Friday and I asked out for a drink she said yes and when I'm available and I told her Thursday, she haven't reply, it's been a day and she's been active. I told Thursday because I already have plans for this weekend and I study from Monday to Thursday, is it bad to set a date almost a week away? I'm still waiting for her response I don't know if she ever will.
