Dating apps haven’t worked

Hi l’m autistic (M22) Not sure if this the right place but: I have tried dating apps one off for the 2 years now but they’ve never worked for me. I’m honest about my autism from the start but this seems to be a turn off. I also don’t seem to be getting the right people,I have tried to engage in conversation with the girls who I’ve matched but After I say hi nothing happens. I have ha a relationship with a girl before but it wasn’t serious and she totally knocked my confidence into a downward spiral and I found myself in a position where I find it easier to taklk to older people. Am I doing something wrong? Are there any suggestions out there that avoid dating apps and clubbing?

Is it weird that after 2 dates he hasn’t kissed me?

I am (28) and he’s (31) we had date one where it went really well and he felt we connected on many levels, he’s a perfect gentlemen. Walked me home and made the second date picking a time and day right there. Gives me a long hug and when he looked at me I felt that spark of “he wants to kiss me” (you know the spark) but he didn’t. He texts me immediately that night and he said “not gonna lie...I wanted to hang out with you longer” and so he proceeded to text me. He keeps communication every day until our next date and Our second date he took me to this nice restaurant and once again was super sweet, conversation flowed but he made it known he was trying to impress me and wanted to know how he could impress me more. I told him this “Just be yourself. Ive had guys in the past who tried to be something they thought I wanted them to be and it only made me less interested bc they didn’t give me a chance to get to know who they really are. And Having lavish expensive dates won’t mean anyth...

Should I keep coming to her work place?

I met a girl about a week ago and we’ve been talking since. We haven’t been able to actually go out because everything in our area is shut back down, and more restrictions are coming by Monday. She works at Panera Bread attached to Target, and she told me to come by and chat with her and hangout while she works. I’ve done it a couple of times and I usually stay for about 45 minutes before it’s about that time to leave. We don’t really have any other option to go out right now other than McDonald’s or similar. Should I take her up on her offer to come chat at her workplace? I only come because I actually need to shop at the Target, not just to see her. It’s about 4 minute drive from my house.

Got a request for a “sexy selfie”...

I (F/30) am in a new relationship (started talking in the summer) with a man (M/39) and we are currently long-distance, seeing each other every 2-3 weeks usually. Even though I’m not all that young, I feel new to dating and navigating a lot of this stuff because my last relationship was a decade-long marriage to my first boyfriend. Also, it left me having some confidence issues which my new guy is aware of, but I try not to make it a big deal. He’s incredibly kind though and has always made me feel good. Anyways, we typically have nice, long phone calls but don’t text much and thus far, nothing particularly “sexy” has come up. Irl we have amazing chemistry and sex, but so far it just hasn’t translated into anything on the phone. In general, he has a more traditional personality, but I know at the end of the day he’s still a man who probably would enjoy some flirty pics! Well recently we were making some jokes and it morphed into a request for a “sexy selfie”... I said that I’m game, ...

How do I (F22) stop using tinder/online dating during the pandemic

I've spent so much time on tinder and so many other dating apps since I got out of my last relationship during the pandemic. I'm so lonely and would prefer to meet people organically but you kinda can't because of social distancing. I want to learn how to focus on other things like hobbies but I'm kind of addicted to the instant gratification that comes with getting matches/messages. The worst part is I rarely even respond to any of them. Does anyone have any tips on how to break the cycle of dating apps? I find myself also deleting it and then getting it right back when I'm bored. Ideally, I would want to focus on traveling or other things I enjoy but covid has put a real damper on those kinds of activities.

/u/Randomness_Girl on I like my best friend and I don't know what to do about it

Not really. I'm very shy and would never have to courage to do it. My case is special and it was the first time I've ever asked anyone out sorry. December 11, 2020 at 12:06AM
