Texting a girl for a while

I have been texting this girl for a while and she asks me suddenly "do you know how long we have been talking?" I'm not sure if there is any implicit or she is just genuinely curious.

I (24m) asked someone (23f) that I work with out. Did I mess up?

So I work infrequently with this woman, but we have spoken quite a bit while working, and recently hung out talking with a group of people at a work function. I decided to ask her out to see if there was anything that might come of it and did so on Wednesday when I next saw her at work. She accepted my offer to get dinner Friday but cancelled Thursday citing something coming up with her parents. She offered a rain check but didn't really respond after that. I texted her today and have not gotten a response of any kind. Did I fuck up or am I overreacting to her not responding today? Tl:Dr I asked a coworker out, did I mess up or am I overreacting to a text not replied to?

Braces, what do you think?

I'm a 25 year old guy that had braces on for a couple months now. I really needed them, but for insecurity reasons I never took the leap of faith. My problem with them on is I feel I'll have to wait another 2 years if I ever have a shot at getting a girl to like me. For context, I still try. I work out, try to eat right (lately I've slacked due to circumstances) and try to take care of myself. I'm doing everything I can to make myself a desirable person to be around, but I'm super shy. And I guess the braces add to that feeling and make it hard to even approach the idea of talking to a girl that way. My question is what do girls think about braces? Please be brutally honest, I'm not looking for pity or pep talk, just trying to take an honest poll to know what the objective view of braces are Submitted August 17, 2019 at 11:32PM I'm a 25 year old guy that had braces on for a couple months now.

My Break Up

When my boyfriend and I first had the 'Are We Dating?' talk back in September, one of the first things we agreed upon was that it was best to break up before we headed off to college. I was only applying to east coast schools, while he was only applying to west coast schools. It's the end of August, and soon he'll be leaving me. To be honest, if I had known 10 months ago that I would've ended up feeling the way I do, I'm not sure if I would have been able to get into this relationship. Somehow, somewhere along our relationship, he became my best friend. I had never been more comfortable with anyone in my life. I never felt more at home or safer or happier with anyone else. I felt like my chest was glowing all the time. Often I would question if what I was feeling was the result a first real love or teenage hormones gone wild, but as more and more time passed, I concluded that what I was feeling was real. If I suddenly jumped back in time, I know I would'v...

Why it so hard to meet women in person?

They never go out alone they are all in groups and stick to who they know and I’ve never met anyone through hobbies at this rate I’ll be alone all my life Submitted August 17, 2019 at 11:48PM They never go out alone they are all in groups and stick to who they know and I’ve never met anyone through hobbies at this rate I’ll be alone all my life

If you don’t have the time to be dating people why do you try and get into a relationship? (19f)

People always say that if they really like you they’ll make time for you? And I believe that Bc every time I like someone I always try and make sure I have time for them but every romantic interest I’ve had lately has just been too busy to make time for me. The guy I currently am talking to is 18 and I’m 19 he works 10 hr shifts and even sent me his schedule and then said when I’m free I try to take care of my grandma and like I understand that you’re busy but if you actually liked me wouldn’t you put in the effort to spend time with me when you could? I’m not asking for the world but I don’t think a relationship can or should be just over texts.

Guy(27M) I’ve(23F) been dating is going through a depressive state and might’ve dumped me?

I started dating an amazing guy a couple months ago. Everything was going awesome until suddenly, after a weekend where he went to a music festival, he completely changed and it hasn’t been the same since. He became very distant and we stopped hanging out completely for weeks. He told me that he had done a lot of drugs at this festival so I assumed that he was just having a rough come-down but after a month of not hanging out, I asked him about it (we see each other frequently at work so having it fade out without addressing it would’ve been very awkward). I said that if he wasn’t feeling it anymore, then we could go back to being work buddies and just to let me know what he was feeling so we could be on the same page. He responded by apologizing for being distant and saying that he’s been going through a rough time mentally, he’s been speaking to his doctor about it and has started new meds to try and help. He said that he’s just focusing on getting out of his own head and “doesn’t ...
