You can sort of answer their worry before hand - "No, and I'm actually very happy being single :)" September 01, 2023 at 11:18PM

I finally took the plunge and signed up for hinge. Got some decent pics and bio and have 10 matches (I read bios carefully and am selective in finding someone with similar values and hobbies) so these are solid matches. It feels like conversations in slow motion. I get a response so I reply with something relevant and ask a question in return then might get a response the next day. Responses are solid and show interest (mostly). This kind of slow back and forth is 9/10 of my matches. Am I just impatient? Approaching it wrong?

Hi i(female) recently turned 18 a month ago and i started to use dating apps recently. The last relationship i had was during freshman yr of high school but it lasted only 2 weeks so literally i did not have my first kiss or had sex yet. Sex is the least of my concerns but im just worried if i will ever get a bf because i never really had a real relationship. I know i will find the right person later maybe but i dont even know how to talk to guys or flirt!!! But is it ok for me to talk to men on the dating apps first? Bec normally i like it when men approach me first. But some of these ppl dont start talkin after the match so should i engage first or wait?

And I only did that because I found one man attractive. Im so paranoid about what can go wrong. Maybe that person isnt really gay and is making fun of me. Maybe that person will send my pics everywhere and then everybody will know that I am gay and that will fuck me up. Maybe he doesn‘t like me because I am obese. Its night rn and I cant sleep because I am so anxious. I am also nauseous. Like I have the feeling I am gonna puke. I am dissociating rn. There are so many scenarios going through my head and they all are paranoid and negative. Can someone calm me down please? Maybe via DM?

I haven't, but this is a good idea. Maybe I will try to join some online communities like discord or something. August 27, 2023 at 11:10PM

A friend(M) confided in me(F) about his dying relationship. The situation is as follows: My friend and his girl get together, and she later finds out through her aunt that her cousin likes my friend. Friend tells me that was her reason for breaking up with him. When he came to me, i told him they could simply go on if cousin hadn't come out to the girl to say it directly. He followed through with my advice and they get back for a few weeks or so. His girl talks to the aunt again, and her conscience suddenly gets to her again? She says what they're doing is wrong. I wanted to suggest the girl talk to her cousin about the guy directly but she doesn't seem willing to. The girl and i aren't really friends like that so i can't talk to her directly. Plus, it's not my friend's place to talk to the cousin. Is she really that considerate? Or is she just looking for reasons to break it off with him? What should i tell him? TLDR; My friend's gf is on and off with...
