Shoot your shot, life is too short! Good luck ✨ November 20, 2019 at 12:16AM

Well, you did the right thing. Sometimes we feel bad for leaving someone, like it's our fault, or we are being the villain and the poor innocent guy just needed a chance. I guess guilt is part of being a woman raised by women that were taught to "keep their man happy and well fed". But it's not your fault or anything. You need to do what's best for you. You deserve someone you can trust. November 20, 2019 at 12:15AM

You're right now that I think about it. 🙀 November 20, 2019 at 12:14AM

Don't blame yourself for that. I see it because I'm outside of it, but also because I deal with monsters for a living (am cop; work Homicide). What your ex chose to do is only one person's fault -- his. Any normal person would have given up, not verbally battered you into allowing infidelity, then stalked his next sexual interest.

So I (M, 27) have a teenage like crush on my French teacher (F, 27) and I'm not sure how to proceed. I recently started group based French lessons and since the first lesson I started to get a bit of a crush on her and it has built up over time. We live in the same neighbourhood and frequent the same coffee shop. We run into each other so often that we now sit at the same table together and talk between periods of working at our laptops. We have some pretty deep conversations with a bit of flirting and not once has she mentioned a SO. I'm ussally very confident and straight forward when asking someone out on a date, but this situation has got me a little perplexed. I'm unwilling make any advances while she's still my French teacher, out of both fear of rejection and fear that that she was only being nice due to her position. Early next year starts the new semester. This means I will have a different teacher. Part of me wants to ask her out when I next see her (outsid...

She’s going through a lot of personal growth, dealing with life situations, some of which I’ve encountered in my own time. She told me she needed a friend more than anything, I’ve been doing my best to be just that, being the listening ear, the advice when she needs it, the one that brings up different topics to keep her mind at ease when she needs to think about other things, sending her music when she needs to free her mind from her thoughts, making the corny joke to hopefully get a smile that’s only born out of pity for my stale humour. I want her to deal with the situations she feels need priority, I can’t find it in myself to throw my name into the mix and act like I’m more important than her own struggles. She knows I want her, I truly believe a part of her wants me too, she’s hesitant to open up to me about the idea of us, and I don’t blame her for being apprehensive in a world where people take advantage of the emotionally vulnerable. I want her to be happy on her own befor...

I've decided to take a break from dating over the holidays, and come back to it in the new year. For anyone who has done this, how do you go about it? I know Bumble has an option where you can put an 'away' up indefinitely. Tinder has something similar where you can 'remove yourself' from the stack so no one sees your profile. Hinge doesn't offer any of those. Is it better to freeze everything, or should I delete and start all over fresh when I feel up to coming back?
