Let me provide some background information. There’s this shy girl that I’ve known since middle school and really started to get to know in high school because we’re both in theatre. We’re both seniors now and I wanted to confess my love to her, so I did over Instagram DMs (I didn’t want to ask her in person out of consideration for her feelings). She said that she replied with the following: “Hey, so I’ve never gone out with anyone before and I’ve never really liked anyone like that before, but you’re a pretty cool guy and we get along quite well. I need you to know that if I went out with you, I’d be testing the waters with the whole going out with someone thing and I don’t want you to feel like I’m using you as an excuse to decide whether or not I would actually want to try dating. It’s difficult to explain over text without writing a whole essay, but long story short some part of me wants to explore something akin to a romantic relationship while at the same time part of me wants ...

So, I’ve noticed this is a highly discussed topic with some controversy so I wanted to open dialogue for it from all different scopes and angles and get advice. Whether it is about body type, height, mental stability, health, having kids, financial situation, education or whatever other examples you may have. Further questions - What is your personal experience with it? - How does your personality influence your outlook on these matters? - Would there be any difference to you if it was dating by having met whatever way in person, experiencing them for who they are and their energy * vs** swiping solely on thousands of online profiles?* DISCLAIMER: I know we’re on Reddit and that people tend to not to show up in their best behaviour in terms of use of words, in fact often in their worst. However, I still want to ask as a kind reminder to please refrain from making (personal) insults and be respective of anyone’s preference to keep this a safe space for people to express themse...

M/F, 32 and 33. Matched this girl two weeks ago on app, texted a decent amount and then went out. Have had 3 dates since then, including one Tuesday night where I stayed the night. We were also texting basically non stop since our first date last weekend until about yesterday. I texted her something to her yesterday like "oh seems like the texting is a bit less/weirder than it has been" she's like blah blah don't worry we're good. She said it makes her anxious when i'm self conscious (about what i say, or if i'm worrying, etc) So, i made it a point since yesterday not to say anything that may come off as worrying, etc. Last night we were texting, seemed better, then she "hearted" my last text, then i said goodnight and didn't hear from her until this morning she said she fell asleep. Today, she's not really keeping up the conversation, and it's a while between replies, so I'm trying to mirror that as well. we have plans tomor...

I decided to message him first, and got no response. Then after a couple weeks, message him again and nothing lol. I eventually deleted the app but recently came back on it and we matched again and he still hasn’t message me. What’s the point of matching with someone if your not going to at least respond?

[21M] I went to an all male school so I never had a chance to experience love, in 2018 I was diagnosed with depression, but that is after I stopped going to school. Fortunately I had the tenacity to graduate and now in Uni/college. Problem is, I gained considerable amount of fat, I was fit and healthy at 70-80kg 180cm back then now I am at least around 100kg so I lost a lot of self confidence in myself. Cause of covid I don't have the chance to meet anyone at Uni/college and I feel like Tinder is made for anyone who is above average and anyone who is average is made below average from the almost 0 matches on my account. I honestly don't know what to do, I just want to find a special someone to share my woes with but not sure how to go about it. I feel like im in a hole that I can't get out of (Lose weight and self improve) and my depression is still lingering.
