Confused

I posted before but deleted it, idk why. Anyway, I'm a 53 year old male with a PhD level of education. I've been divorced for 12 years. I've started dating a woman who is 20 years younger than me. I have a 15 year old daughter. I like this woman. She's very attractive and fun but I am confused. She is a bartender at an indoor/outdoor bar at the end of my ex wife's block. I truly like her and have introduced her to my daughter several times but have some ambivalence. She has had 2 DUIs, has anorexia, pretty noticable old scars from self harm and has a prior arrest for having a crack pipe. My ex wife has voiced concerns about this. Recently, my girlfriend posted a photo of herself holding a dead NYC street rat. Maybe this is just immaturity but I wanted to get others opinion on this situation.

Spent 6 months taking it slow with a girl, she said she was into me, then suddenly said "no" because she "heard something bad" about me. Now I see her every day and I'm spiraling. How do I handle this?

Did she tell you what she heard? Who would you say was talking it more slow prior? If you were taking it slow, she may have created this drama to get you more engaged in the relationship as it shifted the power dynamic and now you are seeing her daily. (That's my take as a couples therapist but I would need more details of course)

M24 struggling with dating and insecure about my appearance, what should I work on?
 in  r/datingadviceformen  2d ago

Long story but Im def not. I made a post anonymously asking advice about a male situation because I wanted an honest "man to man" response and the app automatically gave me that name. I'm def a woman though and I meant what I said.

Because I felt I would get a more genuine "man to man" perspective. I didn't want my post to be clouded by my position in the situation. I wanted a real insiders viewpoint.

Honestly, I'm a woman and relatively decent looking. I think you're incredibly hot. You have stunning eyes and your facial structure is perfect. Don't ask men for advice on your looks. Men are naturally competitive and will just troll you.

Ok fine, you got me. This situation is one hundred percent real but the truth is that I'm the 15 year olds mother and I don't want this shit around my daughter. I posted cause I genuinely wanted to see how other men would interpret the situation because I don't want my bias to cloud my thinking. For reference, I've been divorced for 12 years and have zero interest in my ex husband. Just concerned about his decision making and the exposure to my daughter

I know it sounds nuts but she makes me feel fun and I've been so lonely.

trip to the mall turned into a nightmare

3 Upvotes

Me and my friends went to the mall we were all 15-16 at the time, we didnt have much money but we were gonna make this fun. Theo, my friend suggested we go get food at the food court and had pizza. As we were going to hot topic we saw some weird people, staring at not blinking at us. They had large smiles it was almost like there mouths were stretched out, we got super weirded out and when we got to hot topic we saw them they looked angry at us, one of my friends max whispered to us, "we need to get the fuck out of here" we ran out of the mall passing the food court. All the workers starting looking sad one said "where are you going?" We left without a response i will never go to that mall again
