How do you get over grass is always greener syndrome?

I [19m] have problems with constantly overthinking everything. When I’m in a relationship I find myself wishing for freedom thinking about how great being single is, but when I’m single I miss being in the relationship. I don’t want to feel this way but it just keeps happening. Do any of you have advice? Submitted May 31, 2020 at 11:34PM I [19m] have problems with constantly overthinking everything.

I’d rather be given an honest reason, rather than being ghosted. Why do people just randomly stop talking without a simple explanation?

Was talking to a girl for a few weeks. We talked daily and hung out once. Everything seemed to be going really well, our conversations flowed, and we seemed to have good chemistry, then out of nowhere she leaves me on read and I haven’t heard anything from her since Thursday. I haven’t even bothered trying to contact her, because what’s the point? Obviously something changed, she’s talking to some other guy, or just decided I wasn’t right for her, for whatever reason. I understand I’m not going to be everybody’s cup of tea and that’s fine, but at least have the courtesy to be upfront with me about it, so I can have a bit of closure and move on with my life.

Advice for dating during pandemic

HI! I am recently single (female 36). Started up on some dating sites, I'm very picky. . . So I know I have a long way to go. I've been on about 10 first dates in the last 5 months. Well mostly before Mid March. There's was one guy I actually got excited about (male 39). We went on a brunch date, ate, had several drinks at the bar.we ended up talking for about 5 hours. I felt a connection and I was somewhat attracted. After the date, he texted me a few times, so that was nice, I knew he was still interested. Then the shelter in place order began a week after. He started texting less and less. One time went a whole week without texting me, but then I texted him. He responded well, wasn't short or anything. So we continued texting every other day. Sometimes it'd even get into low key sexting. I was getting sort of attached to him, lol or at least his attn maybe?? But the thing is I realized, that I myself didn't even know if I really liked him, it was only one da...

23F. Am I normal? Should I get counseling?

Hello, 23F, here. Long story short, there was I have fallen in love 2x in my life. Once at 14, it was clearly puppy love. And again at 16, we were high school sweethearts and dated through high school and most of college and were eventually engaged. He was abusive, toxic, and extremely controlling. I was co-dependent. It’s been 2 years since we broke up. He’s now engaged to someone new. And as for me, I stayed single for a year to focus on self love. I’ve made friends, found hobbies, for back into therapy and made it a serious point to make sure I didn’t NEED anyone. I used to even tell myself that I never want to lose my entire self to another person. I’ve tried dating a few guys recently. Some of the most healthiest people I’ve met. Absolute gentlemen that would’ve given the world for me. But I lose interest fast. As soon as they fall in love, I for some reason have this “romantic” switch just turn off. Am I doomed? I feel like a “high school fuckboi” minus sex. I feel like I WANT...

How do I (M 22) slide in a girl’s dms (f 21)?

I’d like get to know this girl who I know has recently broken out with her former bf. Most of my close friends went to school with her but I know from experience to not involve other people when it comes to dating. The problem is that due to a bunch of insecurities, crippling depression and self doubt I got no game.

Is this normal for long relationships? (F19+M18)

So me and my long distance boyfriend have been dating for almost 9 months. My longest relationship before this point was one month and maybe not even that. And before my current boyfriend I only have two others so I’m not that experience when it comes to relationships and I would like some advice about how mine is going and if it’s normal or if I should be worried. I would prefer no one suggest that I break up with him because I am truly in love with him and I really don’t see that helping in any way. So like I said before me and my boyfriend and then my months and we’ve been doing the long-distance for the entire time. We initially met on our social media website. This is Both our first long-distance that’s lasted this long. However we will be closing the gap soon because I decided to move there. We’ve been having a little bit of issues lately but it might be because we’re both kind of nervous about closing the gap because we don’t know how we’re going to be together and that way. I...

Most of the people I date end up breaking up with me because they end up not being gay or are lesbian
