Hi, I'm (F24) in a mutual exclusive relationship with a guy (M26) I met on Bumble. We've known each other only 3 weeks, but he's taking it way faster than I want. I agreed for the mutual exclusivity because I actually enjoy and like him, and wanted us to explore our connection further without the distractions of other people. With that being said, he's moving way too fast for my comfort. He talks about how I'm the best thing, that he wants to spend all his time with me, even mentioned "our kids" in a jokingly way, that he wants this to be his best and last relationship, that he wants to take many trips with me, talks about our 5 year anniversary in the future, and a lot more. I feel like he's putting me on a pedestal and has an idealistic view of our relationship when I don't even have the time to just enjoy a slow burn, it's honestly pushing me away. Although flattering what he says, I also feel smothered. How do I bring this up without hurti...

Should I just end things now? I’ve been seeing this guy for two months now, officially seeing him for about a month. The first month or so was great, he was texting me all the time, we saw each other at least twice a week, spent the night at his house two weeks ago, and it seems like ever since that weekend it’s been different. We saw each other last Wednesday, but he had to cut it short to help his dad with something, Thursday he said we would do something, then Thursday told me he was busy helping his dad again, we did meet up later Thursday night, then last weekend I was supposed to go to his house Saturday, he says come down we’ll do breakfast, then 10 minutes later says never mind don’t come down and gave me a lame excuse, so I didn’t seem him at all this weekend. Had to practically beg him to see me Monday. We had made plans for two weeks now for this upcoming weekend because it’s his birthday, he now tells me his work friends want to take him out Saturday, I even asked him ...

I've been single and actively dating for the last 2.5 years. I've been on a lot of dates (65 first dates to be exact, since May 2021). Some have turned into second and third dates, and there was one guy I dated for a few months, but nothing has turned into a committed relationship. In my most recent experience, I went on (at least, what I thought were) 3 great dates. And after expressing a lot of interest, this guy just disappeared. I understand no one owes you anything in early dating, but 1) we were intimate and, 2) this man is 35 years old...lol. You would think he would have the maturity to send a simple text that said "hey, I enjoyed meeting you. I don't think this is a good fit" or something. Typically, I would dust off the rejection and just keep it moving. I've been ghosted before. But for some reason, this one got to me, and I just broke down. The accumulation of trying and trying with no success, has taken its toll. At this point in my dating jou...

I (30f) Recently started talking to this guy (35m) in September of this year and things have been okay to say the least. A week after we first met, he asked me on a date, We met at a local restaurant that I’d never been to and was impressed. The date went really good and i enjoyed getting to know him (although he was a kind of quiet). We’ve been texting daily, and although sometimes the conversations get a little dry, I’ve been honestly enjoying talking to him. Now for the reason for my post This Saturday that just passed, He invited me to his house for the first time for to hang out and for drinks (i told him about me leaving my job the previous Thursday and he recognized i needed a little pick me up) And while we were drinking he requested me to cook for him. Previously He asked me before through texting and i thought he was playing around (because it was like day 3 of us getting to know each other and i was like “booooy noo lol”) So when he asked me again it caught me a little of...

I went on 6 dates with a woman that seemed super interested and then she ended it abruptly and I’m still questioning why. Background: She was married for 5 years to a guy she dated for 8-10 years and was divorced 2-3 years ago. The dates were going well. We were affectionate, making out and holding hands. After the 4th date we had three dates in the future planned. Then after the 5th date she asked if I wanted to come back to her place after the next date. I was excited because it seemed like this was going somewhere. Then on the 6th date, she didn’t invite me back, and then texted to end it when I got home. She said she “wasn’t feeling the chemistry that she wants to feel.” She said I was “kind, lovely, compassionate, and endearing.” I told her I was confused because she seemed so interested wanting to invite me back to her place. She normally rode her scooter to all of our dates, and on this date she took and Uber. She still planning right up until meeting me that night for us to...
