I’m 31/M and I’d like to start dating again, but I don’t know where to start or if I should even bother. It’s been years, but I’ve been on dates before and have experience with women. I feel like online dating is my best bet at this point of my life, but I don’t really don’t want to participate in the online dating world. I feel like I have nothing to offer at this point in my life, especially in the dating world. I’m 6’2, fit, and have a job that pays relatively well, so I guess I have some things that work in my favor. With that being said, I think status is more important than being tall and fit, and even though my job pays well enough, it’s nothing special. I feel like the only value I would ever offer to a potential partner is if I end up in a powerful job that pays me more than I make now. I accept that no woman would ever love me in my current state, and I believe I don’t deserve it. I feel like it might be best to hold off on dating until I achieve a higher status, as that is...

I’m (F25) met someone in a dating app (F24), we dated for a few weeks until she said she doesn’t want anything serious. She wants to either be friends or friends with benefits. I only want to keep good people in my life. Not sure if I should be friends with her since we’re not dating anymore. And she recently started responding to my texts late and it upset me. When I told her she said I’m overthinking and she doesn’t care. Maybe I was too confrontational? I don’t know, if I should check up on her or just move on? Here are some of her red flags: Lies about meaningless things. For example, pretending to have wanted to go to an art museum just because I like it. Or telling me she read my favorite book when she didn’t. Parties every weekend and texts me while drunk. Doesn’t have other hobbies. Came over to my apartment, didn’t eat the food I got her but drank a whole bottle of wine. Cheats in her university classes. She quit her job because she hates all of her coworkers and used ...

TLDR: I (27 M) am about to start seriously looking for someone and wanted ask what I can do to be the best me that I can be. Personal Backstory: I haven't really tried to be with anyone since high school. I was always working on something else or enjoying my time with my friends. Meeting a nice woman wasn't at the top of my list of concerns. After graduating college and working as a programmer for 2 years at John Deere in a rinky dink little town, I realized I didn't have a goal in life anymore. My job was good, and paid decent enough for my first real job out of college but I felt kind of of alone out there. So I put in my two weeks and left. Moved in with a male friend of mine in January, and I have spent the last 9 months figuring shit out. I discovered I like being around and living with other people It's nice to share my hobbies with people in person (I've spent probably to much time on discord) I want to be attracted to someone completely I want to be...

I just started talking to a girl on Hinge, I'm 25 she's 24, I'm pretty bad at texting, so advice there would be helpful too, but I somehow got her to go out with me tomorrow night, and it's been a while since I've been on a first date (tough relationship) and I have no idea how to handle myself haha. For some reason my confidence is low because she's really pretty from what I see in her pictures and I'm pretty average-below average looking. Any advice you can give me to help me make tomorrow go well is very much appreciated!

Hi r/dating_advice , the question is basically the title. I always hear that women like men with charisma but I'm unsure of what this means. Does it solely mean the guy is funny or does it mean they just make good conversation? I use to do pretty well dating until I got schizophrenia and my personality was basically destroyed. I've been slowly building myself back up but still lack a lot of confidence from all the shit I've dealt with. Because of this my personality became flat and I lost anything I could guess is charisma. I think I'm finally in a place where I could have a long term relationship though.

You’re welcome! I haven’t met any asexuals outside of the internet myself so it’s definitely hard to feel validated. I agree it can be hard to announce yourself publicly, for me, only a few close friends know. Though it’s not like it comes up in regular conversation to even get the opportunity to discuss my sexuality. I think from my friend’s reactions most people don’t really care.
