I want to ask a cashier out, but I've been too scared to ask her. Could really use some advice.

Hi. So, there's this cashier at the grocery store across the street from me, and I really like her. We'll call her Wendy. I really only go to the story to see Wendy. I think she's working tomorrow afternoon and I was thinking of asking her out then. Should I? We have a lot in common and she seems nice. We both play video games and both like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. I don't have a phone or social media due to my anxiety and introversion. Do you think this might be a problem? I should also mention I'm in my mid twenties and have never asked anyone out before. I don't know if she has a boyfriend/girlfriend though. I've thought about asking other people out throughout my life but I've never found the courage. There's a Starbucks in the same parking lot and a bar across the street so I thought I'd suggest meeting her at one of these places. I've always been scared of asking people out so I never have. Should I ask her if she wants to ...

What are some things you would feel the need to let your future partner know before getting in a relationship with them after having gone through emotionally/mentally abusive relationships in the past?

It’s been 3 years since my last relationship and I feel that I am in the midsts of getting into a new one, as I feel that I am ready and have grown up from the person that I used to be. We are both 20 and in college and have been talking for a few months. However, there is a bit of a catch. Nothing is official but before becoming so I feel the need to clear up a few things before becoming exclusive. I’ve gone through various emotionally and mentally abusive relationships in the past and I feel that I have a bit of PTSD from them...I’m someone who 100% feels the need to be transparent and authentic with my future partner. This includes letting them know about my past and possible triggers that I have that will cause me to shut down. This is where this post comes in. I’m writing down a list of things I feel the need my future partner should know but sometimes I get stuck trying to think of everything. And so, I want to if any of the things you have went through apply to me as well that ...

My Past Trauma Makes Dating Near Impossible.

I thought the hardest thing about finding the person I want to be with would be asking them out. Would be overcoming my depression, anxiety, and fear of rejection long enough to talk to someone I just met and was instantly attracted to. But it’s not. The hardest part is overcoming the paranoia and the fear that this will play out like all my past relationships. As things continue to progress and I develop more and more feelings for her, I’m constantly waiting for my gf to get tired of me and leave without any explanation. I’m waiting on her to cheat on me or use me as an emotional crutch until she finds someone better. I’m always ready for her to snap at me and call me names, to accuse me of things I haven’t done, to lie to me and then get mad when I try to call her out. I keep thinking it’s only a matter of time before she realizes what a pathetic loser I am and I kind of wish she would just hurry up so I can get it over with and go off to die alone. I keep imagining her friends tal...

Do you both need to have similar interests to be compatible

So, there’s a guy I’m talking to and it’s obvious we both are at least interested in each other. I don’t want to go into a whole bunch of details besides, I’m really nervous about our interests? Personality wise we match, both kind of awkward and shy, but goofy too and caring. And I love that about him because it makes me loosen up a bit realizing I’m not alone. But when it comes to hobbies and such we don’t have much in common. He likes the outdoors, exercise, and adventure. I mean I would somewhat be down for an adventure, but I don’t like the outdoors. I get winded easily because I’m just a naturally weak person. I like to read, write, draw, watch TV and play video games. He does like anime and I like that too, he plays some video games. But I’m really nervous about the differences in interests going into a real relationship. Would it be too wide that it won’t work? I want it to work so badly which is why I keep thinking of a way I could work out even though I don’t really like it....

I think i’ve fallen in love someone who I’ll never see again

warning, this is kinda super detailed and long but oh well ( Some context- due to my hilariously unnecessarily traumatic life,, my relationship with relationships (romantic and just general) is kinda warped. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced romantic love and I find it incredibly difficult to even form genuine bonds with people- but, sometimes, I randomly latch onto people and feel more connected to them than I do to anyone else. because that‘s a healthy emotional response. This happened once with a police officer who I instantly viewed as a father/friend figure, and never saw again. And a tutor in a brief course I did who I saw as a mom figure. So tl;dr Im a mess. ) ​ So a while ago I was at work. The shop was about to close (it was nearly five thirty) and I was ready to leave. Then he walks in. He was fairly tall, over six foot I think, with dirty blond hair and round brown thick rimmed glasses. His eyes were blueish/green. He was dressed rather nicely, in a greenish coat an...

Should I just stop trying for my own and others good?

Hi, [22M] here So yeah, just another guy without any dating experience, nor I have any female friends, which is difficult to be changed (got plenty male ones tho). I'm told I apparently look rather decent, like at least 7/10 I have this rather typical set of hobbies that make you stay at home, you know games, watching shows etc. and I also prefer working out at home. About four years ago I had this unfortunate encounter, for two months I've been in something you could technically call dating but I'm rather convinced to just not call it that. Basically after two months it turns out that I've been in a relationship with some dude (I am straight) and not a girl, who just decided it'd be fun to catfish me. Well all this sounds like silly stuff, it was all via net naturally so this shit happens. The problem is that until this moment in life I've been easily able to suppress urge to be interested in other gender. But after that it weighed on me sadly enough to inc...
