Should a chronically, high functioning depressed person date?

I’ve got a job, doing well in grad school, losing weight, have friends I socialize with regularly, a therapist and take meds but am genetpretty depressed and feel empty in life. Would it be wrong to date while I’m in this state? I hope not because it seems to be my permanent state. I’d say at least I’m high functioning. I look presentable and stuff when I go out. Just don’t know if it’s be fair to a partner to have to deal with me. Average looking.

Absolutely ridiculous situation with dating ex again. What to do?

\So ~3 months ago my ex dumped me. We dated for 4 months, 3 exclusive, and she essentially used me as a rebound then dumped me telling me she didn't have strong enough feelings and wasn't over her ex (they didn't get back together--he moved out of state after their breakup). It was rough as I had VERY strong feelings for her. I would even say I fell in love with her. So fast forward 2.5 months after the dumping and I get a text from her asking how I'm doing. We make some small talk, then set up a date for wine and a fire at my place over the weekend. A couple days later (and a couple days from our date) she hits me up asking if I want to come hangout. I agree and when I go over it's obvious she has booty called me. She's in a nightgown, I smell weed, she's playing romantic-ish music, lights are dimmed, etc. We end up having sex and I leave right after because she's "tired". I mean nothing but a booty call. So our weekend date night rolls aro...

I was already thinking of breaking up, he wants to stay with me but open the relationship?

Sorry for the long post y'all, I tried my best to make it short haha TLDR; Live-in boyfriend has been distant for months, I wasn't happy and thinking about breaking up (not knowing what to do) when he finally told me he wants an open relationship. I'm not fully opposed to the idea, but don't feel secure enough, or confident in his communication skills to make it work. So, last year me (26F) and SO (26M) moved to another country together, without any friends or family in the new place. We were best friends in high school and had a crush on each other, got into the same uni, started dating and have been together ever since, almost 7 years now. We work on the same field, have a million friends/work mates in common etc. When we moved, we had just been through a rough patch in the relationship, but came back stronger than ever and I was extremely happy, feeling like a lot of our issues (especially regarding trust) were being solved. However, we moved because of grad schoo...

Didn't have sex for four years.

Hey everyone. Here is my story. I'm a guy from Russia and I didn't have sex for a long time. I don't know how I ended up in this situation but I guess it's became my comfort zone. I'm not ugly. Even attractive. Random Girls can give me a smile sometimes. I have some matches on tinder and some girls didn't mind to go out with me. But I so unsocial, and I forgot how to speak with girls actually. I can't step out of my comfort zone. And when I texting with girls this always end up with me mastrubating on her photo and afterwards I forget about girls until I feel sexual temptation again. Then I can text another girl, mastrubate and again forget about it. How I should get out of this loop? I really want to have sex with a girl and not with my hand only.

Am I being overeager, or just too trusting?

I (m20) have been talking to someone (f19) who I have gone on several dates with and had amazing conversations and connections with. However, when we our communicating via text or snapchat, she often takes upwards of a day before she responds. She does keep the conversation going and doesn't just send a bland selfie to keep the snap streak or a dry text to keep the conversation going. I'd like to hear what other peoples experiences are with bad texters and how they overcame that anxiety Submitted December 08, 2020 at 12:01AM I (m20) have been talking to someone (f19) who I have gone on several dates with and had amazing conversations and connections with.

How often should you see a new dating prospect? Both in mid 30s

I just started dating someone about 2 months ago. The first few weeks we were hanging out about 3x a week (a lot, I know). Lately we’ve only been hanging out once per week. We text about every day and he expresses interest in me, but it feels to be moving very slowly.. maybe even backwards. I’m very confused because all signs point towards mutual interest, but it’s still feeling stagnant Submitted December 08, 2020 at 12:14AM I just started dating someone about 2 months ago.
