We talked for a bit last week and he told me he was going to visit his family for the weekend but when he got back he’d love to meet up in person. This was a week ago and I haven’t heard from him. I haven’t really liked ANYONE on a dating app in a while and I feel like this guy and I have tons in common. Would it seem desperate if I reached out to remind him about meeting in person? If not, how should I do it?

I (m50) have been w/ 6 women (yes only 6) and am getting closer to a (f48) whose had more partners than me. Not sure how many but from conversations I’d guess 30+, could be more. I feel insecure and inadequate but I do like this person, I’m just not comfortable being inexperienced and somewhat naive. My last partner (8+years ago) was a lying sociopath and really crushed my self esteem so I’m trying to deal with that too. I’m seeing a therapist to work through everything from that. I’d like to hear from both men and women to see if this could work or would she be disappointed. I’d be fine keeping this a friendship if that’s how it ends up.

Ive had guys invite me over to their place. Not on the first date but usually at least on the third date. I agree if I get the sense that he is not just looking for a hookup. Sometimes its nice staying in cooking and watching a movie, especially with covid and things being closed. I used to let guys know that im not looking to hookup if they invited me over but recently stopped doing this. I realize accepting to go over to someone’s place should not automatically mean I want sex. And thankfully the couple of guys ive seen have not made any uninvited moves on me and have been very respectful, not even bringing up sex at all. So I guess the point of this post is I appreciate that and to let people know you shouldn’t automatically assume someone wants sex just because they agree to come over. Always be respectful to each other :) Submitted August 06, 2020 at 11:58PM Ive had guys invite me over to their place. Not on the first date but usually at least on the third date. I agree if...

I am a 27 female, usually I am told I am beautiful by both men and women (though I am not arrogant about it and even get very self conscious – I don't think I am better than anyone else). I have friends and hobbies, I am in shape. I have been struggling with dating my whole life and have done many things to work on myself including reading a lot of self-help and dating books, self love etc. Initially I was always just myself. I was shy, but if I liked a guy I would send a text, I would try to flirt. If we had a date I would try to make it fun for both of us. Sometimes I delayed sex, other times I let myself get lost in the passion and "went with the flow" and acted cool about it. And in return I have been ghosted, seen as a booty call, friend zoned, and (usually) never even approached. After consuming all this information, I am so overwhelmed and sick of the different “rules” or “suggestions” that just seem so contradictory to me. ​ Don’t respond or be too availabl...

My (32f) husband (32m) has been a drug addict for 4 years now. I am not a drug user and find it to be hurting our relationship immensely. He stays down in his basement office pretty much 24/7 and RARELY comes to bed. When he does, there is no intimacy. He is a very sweet, caring person who claims to love me with all of his heart. He says I'm the most important person in his life and without me there is nothing to live for. He threatened to do all of his drugs and kill himself if I left him. Obviously this is a toxic situation and he needs help. However, he refuses to get it, saying when he was forced Into rehab by his family it was the most traumatic thing that has ever happend to him and he vowed to get off drugs on his own terms and not be forced the next time. He has promised to get off drugs but hasn't. We have been fighting for 3 weeks now about his lying, hiding, and new found friendship with his new female drug dealer that I am not all about. I'm sure nothing is go...

TL&DR: I don't know if I should move cross country or not, and my feelings are complicated by a new relationship. I (32/f) am currently on the West Coast living at my parents’ condo near the beach, working remotely for my postdoc that I just began. Currently they are not asking me to pay rent, because I have been unemployed since handing in my thesis in March, and they stay at the condo for about a week at a time (they primarily live about 2 hours away). When I was offered my postdoc position in late March, the world was a very different place and my contract stipulated that I move cross country to the East Coast by the end of August. I arranged to move to the East Coast and move into an apartment with a future roommate for mid August. This was on the premise of the office re-opening, which we have just been notified this week is not happening until further notice. Before this notice, the reopening was tenuous and staff would only be allowed to come in one day a week and not ...

I'm a 23 y/o male and broke off my first ever relationship of 4 years not even 5 months ago. I've been VERY emotionally invested in this relationship. But we had a lot of issues during the last year and still forced it into being even though it became completely dysfunctional. Then one day, 5 months ago, I sort of felt a snap after she did something minorly stupid and just stopped talking to her completely. A few weeks down the line I wasn't being able to picture myself as the person I was even a few months ago. It felt like a different person. I've tried a few days to reminisce about her and our relationship but couldn't remember much so I didn't give it much thought. Tonight, I've been trying really hard to think about what she was like and how our experiences were in the last 4 years and I was really surprised to discover I have no memory of anything. I don't remember what she was like, her personality, her voice, emotions I might've felt towards...
