I (24m) have been seeing a girl (20f) that I met at work. There are days where I see her as the prettiest girl and can’t stop smiling when I talk to her. Then there are days where I just see a person. Sometimes I just hangout with her to have company. Is this normal? I really don’t want to hurt her feelings if all my feelings fade away. Please someone give me feedback.

My entire life I have been overweight and had a horrible personality. Over the past 3 years I’ve lost 100+ lbs and gained a personality with hobbies and friends. Now that I’ve joined the dating scene I’m not used to men only wanting me for my body. I can’t distinguish men that only want me for sex and men that actually want to date me. It seems that when I was “ugly” at least I could tell when a man was genuinely interested in me. Now I have men straight up lying to my face about their intentions and I don’t know what to do. I’m feeling a lot of burn out and a lot of frustration now that I’m actually trying to find a partner. How does everybody else navigate the dating world as a mildly attractive woman?

AHHH IT LOOKS SOOO GOOD August 13, 2023 at 11:26PM

I told a few people so they would stop pressuring me to date. First time with my mom was an accident. August 13, 2023 at 11:25PM

I'm lucky I rarely have to deal with a libido at all these days. As long as I avoid people/media that turns me on I simply expirience nothing. It's so nice. August 12, 2023 at 11:16PM

So some context first. Australian, male, 24 soon. I struggle with dating. I've been on a single date this year with a repeat customer at the place I work at (mistake learnt. Don't date customers). I've read over loads of advice however I haven't acted on much of it. In my head, the whole 'join a community' thing could work but I don't think so based on the following. I'm far better one on one than in groups. I'm getting the attention I want (again, problem I know) and it's easier to keep the conversation going and making it great. In groups, I'm the timid one. Quiet, reserved and no one pays attention to me (I'm basing this on my observations, which I'm totally aware are limites). Being timid has also stopped me from asking out women in the past (not entirely, I was adventurous about a month ago with one woman (asking her if I could give her my number), but she had a boyfriend already). Dating apps could work, however I've had...

So, I'm closing in on 40 REALLLLL FAST. I'm a completely normal dude, a bit below average on the looks department (5'7'' bald, a bit overweight, just being honest) which is fine, we all have our struggles dating and I'm working on the one thing I can control which is my weight. That being said, is it unrealistic to want a woman to have similar interests as I? I'm black, I think it matters in this context, and I really love anime, manga, metal music, philosophy. I find very few women in my age bracket really like those things or wanna chill and enjoy those sorts of entertainment. It's just kinda weird enjoying someone else's sources of entertainment but not really being able to connect with my own. IS this unrealistic? Should I just get over it? Anyone with experience with it? Submitted August 12, 2023 at 12:08AM So, I'm closing in on 40 REALLLLL FAST. I'm a completely normal dude, a bit below average on the looks department (5'7...
