So I went on a Tinder date with some pretty girl and I think it did go quite well, we went bowling, getting ice cream and into a local bar afterwards and we kissed at the end of the date, so I thought it was all good, but now I have the feeling like she's not that interested into meeting again. Date was on friday and she said she's only free next weekend even though she told me she had this whole week off. Any advice? Or do you think I'm overreacting? I'm 21 y/o ans she's 18 btw.

TLDR at bottom. So there’s this guy I met at the bookstore (he works there) a couple weeks ago and we found we had some nerdy similar interests. He ended up giving me his number. We texted a little bit but I got the feeling that he wasn’t interested. Ok, fair, he probably doesn’t want to get into trouble with dating a customer. I kept the conversations really light and asked him questions about his other interests. I found out he follows a pagan religion like me so I was really excited!! I haven’t found any other guys who shared my religious views in the past. But he just didn’t seem to share the enthusiasm over text. At this point I felt like I was the only one who was the least bit curious to ask questions or continue a conversation. I really got the impression that he wasn’t interested in anything more serious than a professional(?), distant relationship. Well lo and behold, a couple days later and I get a text at midnight from him saying he really enjoyed our conversations over...

I recently read this book about trauma. It really unclouded my thoughts. I've been having a terrible time due to covid and due to work so it may be just these stressors of the environment being sort of released now that I no longer have work. Anyways, I want to talk to my bf about where my feelings of fear come from - I have always told him it was the act of betrayal but I don't know why I allowed myself to feel like I had to make him be the person who hurt me. I think I placed a lot of pressure upon myself and upon him through myself to make changes when in reality - the mind just can't speed up the body. Basically, I just want to tell him that since I'm beginning to start befriending myself, it's basically led to a perception of being able to genuinely trust someone. Because I've always been obsessed with the possiblity of betrayal and I've been obsessed with having constant reassurance from him even though it felt unnatural because I would have to ask f...

I'm in a LDR.My girlfriend didn't contact me via phone call or Skype for 3 months.She's either tired or she has some other excuse.She just want to text.At first we had regular phone calls,facetime, IG quotes and so on...but now she seems distant.I didn't want to be needy and to ask her for any phone or video call so i hoped she would initiate one... but unfortunately she didn't... I didn't bother her with the constant texts or similar... but after a month, i had to wait for a text respond for hours and in the meantime she was active on IG and FB. I told her if theres some change in our relationship, but for her it was all ok. Im so really down right now... but what confused me, she's telling me she further loves me, but her actions don't show that.Should i be worrying**TL;DR;** : Is this going the right way?

Hey, everyone! My younger brother and I used to be a lot closer when we were younger. He looked up to me as his big sister, and we always used to joke around and have a ton of fun together. Sometime after he turned 16 or so, he hit that angsty teenage "I hate the family" phase, and it seems he still hasn't left it. I get that he's only 20 and freshly out of the teenage years, so that might have something to do with it. The only people he seems to talk to and really get along with are his gamer friends. What are some good ways to bond with a younger sibling? My mom suggested I offer to take him out to lunch one day, but I've tried that and he doesn't really seem to care. Guys, I just miss my fun-loving little brother. Any tips, especially if you're an older sibling yourself, would be welcome. Thanks! tl;dr : What are some good ways to bond with a younger sibling who still acts like an angsty teen? Submitted August 12, 2020 at 12:03AM Hey, everyone!...

Am I right to hate my Dad for having a secret child. I’m 28 years old now. When I was about 14 I started noticing signs that my dad was having an affair. Overheard phone calls, saw texts, away on “business trips”....This went on for years before I finally lost it and called him out for it in front of my mom around age 17. He completely denied it, my parents had a long talk and my mom basically told me that I was overthinking it all and that she believes him and I have to apologize to him. Fast forward to when I was about 26 I found out that my dad has a secret child and so I confronted them again about it but still denial. He ends up telling me this bs story that he was caring for a coworkers kid that lost his father and he became like a father to him. My entire adult life I have never had any respect for him for what I know he has done. Any time he would get mad at me for even the smallest thing I would lose it because I felt he had no right to be mad at me for anything when he kn...

I've been with my boyfriend for over 4 years, living together for 1. I'm 25, F, he's 26, M and we work full time but on very opposite schedules - he works Monday - Friday 07:00 -16:00 and I work random night shifts (18:00 - 07:00) all over the place including 6 weekends in every 8 (2 of these being 13hr day shifts). I get a lot of days off in the week due to the long shifts but obviously this means we don't often have full days off together. Because of this I typically sit in the house alone all day, watching TV and cleaning etc. He gets home about 17:00, plays with the dog for about 10 minutes, briefly chats then takes himself off for what he says will be a 3 hour nap but is usually 4+ hours. When he eventually gets up he pretty much goes straight to his computer (I'll get maybe 10 minutes of interaction if I haven't just given up and gone to bed myself) where he'll immediately put his headset on and join the Discord with his friends regardless of whether...
