Should I Settle?

for context, I’m a 25-year-old female, I do have a career. I’m hoping to advance in the career after I obtain my masters. Should I settle for this guy? Basically, I asked him about what he would bring to the table, and he kept talking in circles. we were talking about the future, and how it would look if we were together. I told him that I would like for my children to grow up in middle-class or higher, because I grew up poor. he was like OK, he grew up upper middle class. I asked him what his plan for his life was career wise. He cannot give me a straight answer, he told me he did not know. At this point this man is 30 years old. My question is do I settle for him and hope he gets it together career wise? or do I keep exploring my options and meet someone who knows what they want career wise? I don’t like how I have to have a career and have these things to be appealing to him, but he doesn’t have to have those things to be appealing to me. Submitted December 26, 2023 at 12:10...

hard time adjusting after being single for so long

ive been single for a while now and recently ive started seeing this guy but ive found that its really hard for me to open back up again. im a very independent person, especially after my last relationship, which turned out to be really toxic, and i cant seem to let my guard down. hes a sweet guy and always wants to do things for me but its hard for me to accept help. hes admitted to me that sometimes he doesnt know if i actually like him because im so guarded and dont let my emotions show. i give him all the reassurance he needs but i want to be better for him. i want to learn to trust again and open up but i dont know how to do that… any advice?

How to know if a guy likes you for your personality or just looks?

There’s a guy I like at school and I think he likes me too. We’re both in ours 20s. We met at a dinner and he seemed to be a little shy around me but we had a great conversation. He even complimented and admired me calling me brave. We had similar views and interests. I think he might have noticed me in class before this though. Since then at school I often catch him staring at me a lot. We have conversations here and there but he doesn’t ask me many questions to get to know me like I ask him. He’s more playful and tries to innocently touch me or make me laugh. So I wonder does he actually like me for my personality or does he just like how I look and how can I tell?

Should I give up on sex?

Many, many of the people who seem intelligent in their dating site profiles (online is my only practical option for getting dates right now) are asexual. I crave intellect in a partner. I want sex, too, but it's hard to find both in one person, it seems. Would it be a bad idea, do you think, to bite the bullet and open my "net" to asexual people?

Any advice?

Hey, i was on a birthdayparty last week and this boy I’ve been just friends with flirted the hole time and he asked me to come to his soccer game next week. I like him and I would like to go out with him, so is this a sign that I should ask him out ? I also don’t wanna ruin the friendship when he doesn’t see me this way Submitted December 25, 2023 at 12:10AM Hey, i was on a birthdayparty last week and this boy I’ve been just friends with flirted the hole time and he asked me to come to his soccer game next week.I like him and I would like to go out with him, so is this a sign that I should ask him out ?

36 year old virgin guy seeking advice

Hi all, i am a 36 year old virgin and really get made fun of for this. I am interested in women and i am attracted to fair women. I have tried talking to women at bars, coffee shops but nothing seems to work. I think i come across as unattractive at bars as women aren't interested in a conversation when I try to strike it. I don't have much time as I am working on multiple jobs so I don't have much time to give to hobbies. But I work out daily and I am physically fit. My height is 5 ft 7 and i am slim. I am shy and I am really fed up of me still being a virgin. I have very few friends. I am trying to get advice from hiring a Wingman but I am unable to find someone for it as i want it in person. What can I do to as i am feeling hopeless. Please be positive in your responses, thanks!

Unsure of how to move from here.

I (35M) have been seeing a girl (36F) for around 3 weeks. We met on a dating app and after a bit of chatting we met up for a coffee. The vibe was very nice since the start and all felt natural. For the second date we met in the afternoon for food and we stayed together until late for drinks and ended up at my place for chats (no sex). For the third date we had dinner at my place and she stayed over; we ended up having sex that night. The day after she asked me to go to the cinema, which we did, but straight after the movie the vibe was suddenly different, colder I'd say. We were supposed to go for dinner, but she said that she was feeling tired and wanted to go home (fair). The days after the movie date I felt that she wasn't engaged that much when we were texting. As we used to text eachother normally, I sent her a text on a frieday evening, nothing really important, but she didn't answer at all until I texted her again on the next Monday morning. At that point I was alr...
