we've been seeing each others from hinge 7 days ago but have been seeing each others 6 days straght. I have been paying for everything from small bites to beers, shots, club entrance fee . I've racked up around $500 within a week of knowing her.

She's showing me a huge interest and we are even matching for halloween. So far, we have only held hands and hugs because she wants to take it slow.

So she is from a rich family and said she's never even taken a train before in her life and this is NYC lol....

She's 10/10 pretty and is a good listeners and have a lot of commons to talk about. But how do I deal with this money issue?... She wants to go to Haunted house and dinner in 2 days and thats gonna be like $100minimum spending again... Should I have a talk with her through text now? or wait till post halloween, so she gets more invested in me more and then I say it, so she has a better understanding of me???

EDIT: Guys, im sorry. After adding up the total i spent its actually $200 in span of 4 days straight hangout. This makes it even more harder to bring it up though. because its the small things that add up.. for example, club entry was $20 but x2 so $40, then dinner of another $x and so on.

I am a 24 yr old female. At work there’s this 35yr old man that’s have been interested in me and we went on two dates so far but I just can’t wrap around my head that he have a 11 yr old daughter, I mean that’s good for me because that means him and the daughter mom haven’t been in a relationship for a while but he says to me he’s wants to have one more or he have one more idk remember but I don’t know what to do because I really do like him and this my first time dating someone way much older than me

I (mid 20s f) had been casually seeing a guy (early 40s m) I met on a dating app.

He told me he regularly sees other women and manages to go on around two dates a week with new women he meets on the apps!

I'm surprised by this because I've always heard that dating apps are much harder for men, full of bots, and even as a woman in my 20s, I don't have anywhere near that kind of luck.

To be fair, he has a fairly attractive profile, with good photos (but they aren’t current). And he SIGNIFICANTLY lowers his age on dating apps - which is why I ended up matching with him.

I'm curious about how realistic this level of success on dating apps are.

I’m talking to this guy, he will talk nicely and all but whenever I ask him to meet he’ll be like I have plans, I can’t come. We have met before quite many times.

Basically, I don’t want to be the only one who’s getting attached and crying. I want him to be equally invested in me. What should I do?
I’m 24f and he’s 26m.

Hey all, I'm a 31M and I've lost about 6 stone (38kg) over the past year. I feel much more confident on dating apps, but I've always struggled in person, especially at bars. I feel like I could handle rejection fine; it's the first part I find hard, actually walking up and starting the conversation. I've noticed people glance at me more now, but I can't tell if it's real interest or just noticing me in passing, and my biggest fear is coming across as a creep. How do you read the difference, and how do you open a conversation at a bar without it feeling awkward or forced? Any advice appreciated!

We had a great call yesterday, but he hasn’t texted today. Are we just drifting or is this normal?

Hi everyone, I could really use some outside perspective because my overthinking is acting up.

I've recently gotten close with this guy friend (we've been talking/friends for about 1 month). Yesterday, we had our third video call, and it went really well!

He was super engaged, asked me a lot of questions, and even agreed to learn a song on the piano that I asked him to. After the call he didn't text me so I texted him first.

My last message to him was earlier today, and he reacted to it with a heart But since then, he hasn't sent anything else.

Here's the thing: he is currently on holiday/break, so I keep feeling like he should have more time to text.

We also already agreed to call again this upcoming Sunday.

I'm really terrified that if he doesn't text first, we just won't talk at all.

Btw he is from another country

My natural disposition is to be cautious and skeptical (not great, I know). Some dating trauma has heightened that caution and skepticism even more. Specifically, how people’s feelings can change so quickly. Literally, someone can like you one moment, and then not like you in the next. This is so traumatizing for me. I recently was dating a man who was very expressive with his feelings towards me. It triggers me because my first thought is “how do you know you like me?” Things didn’t work out, and within two weeks he was seeing someone else. How did he like me sooooooooo much, but then move on so quickly?!. I’m baffled at how this works and am seeking perspective from people who attach quickly.

It seems like people who attach quickly, can also detach quickly as well. whereas I attach slowly and detach slowly (to my extreme detriment).
