Hi all :) I'll preface with this: I'm extremely prone to overthinking every facet of a situation, and the one I'm going to detail below is no different... I'm a single 24F who has been on dating apps (mostly Hinge, as I've met a handful of guys from there, but have a Bumble profile as well) for the past 18 or so months. I seem to go through the terrible yet common dance of going on a few (anywhere from 1 to 5) dates with a guy, either we do or don't get along, and then...that's it. Of the three guys I've seen for extended periods of time over the last 18 months (all at different times, no overlapping), two out of three of them said they weren't looking for a relationship, etc. etc.; one of which, J, (24M) ended things at the start of this month after 3 dates pre-quarantine. Naturally, I am looking for a monogamous relationship in my dating endeavors. Rewind back to December, and I matched with a guy, who I'll call B, on Hinge (28M). We texted ...

I’m (f 20) in a relationship with (m 24) and we’ve been together for a year and 2 months now but the things he did still lingers in my mind. He was seeing other people at the start of our relationship and said he only kept me around for convenience because he didn’t know if we would last. He is trying to change now though but I don’t know if I should trust him again because when he was seeing other girls behind my back he was acting really sweet and caring. He knows I have major trust issues with him so he gave me his account password to ease my mind but I have never opened his account until I attempted last night because he has been acting dry and replies late but when I did open his account it sent him a verification text and he got mad at me for invading his privacy. I’m confused. Was I wrong or what? Honestly don’t know what to do since this is my first relationship.

I (26f) have been speaking to someone for a couple months now. We have had video chat dates, but they are lacking the obvious physical presence. There are times where I wish to just give/receive a hug etc or to move our relationship to the next level, but... corona. I live with my mother and both of us never leave the house unless for food shopping every two-ish weeks. He on the other hand is an essential worker. He wears ppe in his shifts and also never leaves the house outside of work unless it's for food shopping every couple weeks. I don't want to lose the closest thing I have had to a relationship in years since being violated. Corona probably won't go away for months. The way i see it is when will it ever be truly "safe"? My friend recommended having a nature walk keeping 6 ft away, but that is no different than video chat for me. I want to be able to hold hands, hug, and maybe even invite him over. I plan to talk with my mother to see how she feels abou...

Why is it that as much as he shows me he doesn’t care the way i do no matter what i still go back to him? I Don’t Know If it’s The sex or the sexual attraction i have towards him but when i’m with him i enjoy it a lot. i love being with him, the physical affection i get from him how he acts when he’s with me. He acts so loving with me when he kisses me and caresses me it feels nice to have that once in a while You Know? he’s like that when we’re together but after he leaves it’s like none of that didn’t just happen. We’ve gone our times where we stop talking to each other for a month the most then we suddenly text each other and he comes over as if nothing? he tried texting my BEST FRIEND and i hated him so much for that time because i felt so disrespected and then after not talking to him for a while i felt as if the anger i felt was going away and i didn’t even care that he did that? Which is so wrong I don’t know if it’s because I lost my virginity to him and all the memories attac...

So there’s this guy I really really like. The main problem is that we don’t really run in the same circles anymore. Like I’ve had this bad of a crush on maybe one other person in my life. But I’m not sure when if I’ll ever see him again. The last girl he dated looked like a super model but every time me and him talk we have really engaging conversation. And he seems interested in me as a person and seems to genuinely enjoy talking with me in person. Sometimes he’ll comment on my stuff on Instagram but it’s pretty platonic. I’m planning on moving back to my hometown once I graduate this Semester which is where he lives. Like how would I ask him out or get him to ask me out either online or in person? I honestly feel like I can’t move on until I know whether or not there is something there. I’ve been crushing on this guy for a long time. Btw I’m 25 he’s like 27. I’m black he’s white. Idk if that matters but I don’t live in the most progressive state haha. Any please help. I need advice...

Has anyone here experienced getting really close to someone online, falling for them, and then it falls apart..and you still see them posting adult images and whatnot, which brings pain? Am I nuts to be hurt so much? How do I proceed, by deleting my Reddit? I do enjoy being on it for news and whatnot. Thank you for your input.

Before you attack me I don't agree with the title, I'm arguing against it. So one of my buddies and I have been debating for about 45 minutes now. The argument started with whether or not money in and of itself brings happiness and turned into how relevant a man's assets and finances are in a relationship. I'll elaborate on the two points below: My friend's argument is that women only care about what a man can bring to the table. If the man isn't making (a lot) of money, women don't want him. The key point here is a lot . The man needs to be making a higher than average income (must be higher than hers) and live a higher-end lifestyle in order to appease women. If this isn't the case, women will consider other men. How a man treats a woman isn't as important as what he can do to provide for her based on his income and assets. She should be able to depend on him to take care of her, entirely. My argument is that money is important, but typically i...
