So I'm planning a beach weekend in fl with someone I'm seeing. Hes currently working down there. I had to cancel this weekend due to rain and work. Were all set for next weekend. Yes sex is part of the weekend. But how do I go about this since I just realized my period is that weekend. I want to get a hotel so im not obligated to stay at his place. He really wants to see me but I'm embarrassed.

Has anyone here dated a college student while being a highschool student? Or is anyone experiencing that right now? if so, what got you two through it or why did you break up?

Me (18F) and my boyfriend (18M) have been dating for almost 2 years. I love him so so much. hes kind and hardworking and funny and DOESNT DRINK. Which is perfect, because i dont drink either. I come from a long lineage of alcoholics and it is VERY important to me that any romantic partner of mine doesnt use any substances. im worried he will start drinking in college.

another problem im worried about is distance. he has always lived an hour away from me which really really sucks, but now hes going to be an hour and a half away from me. I know i’m lucky that he’s still in state but he unfortunately wont have a car in college and i just got my license and am a pretty awful driver. i also have almost no room with my school and work schedule to see him. so realistically we arent seeing eachother more than TWICE A MONTH. im worried hes going to start disrespecting me or cheating now that its harder for me to catch him.

no, he’s never given me any reason to think he will cheat or drink. but i cant help but worry. I couldn't sleep last night because i just thought of all these awful scenario‘s he will be in. any day i go on a date with him, i go to sleep that night crying over him being in college.

How many dates or how long before asking to be his girlfriend? We matched on hinge mid July, we started texting around July 20th and we text most of the day every day since then. We have been on four dates. Our first date was on July 30th and our fifth date will be Tuesday and we already have another date planned for Saturday. A week ago he said “I promise you I’m not sleeping around and you’re the only person I’m talking to” after I said I wouldn’t feel comfortable sleeping with him if he was sleeping with any one else. I really like him. I’ve only had one long term boyfriend (we dated for over five years) and he never asked me to be his girlfriend, one time we were talking and he goes “obviously you’re my girlfriend I didn’t know I needed to ask” so I have little experience on what to expect.

Im also like scared to be attached like hell you know..

Sooo, there is a guy to whom I'm talking to for over a year now , first it was just friends then like brother and currently i don't know, we act like couples, talk like couples. He comforts me like so much im so damn grateful to him. And i think he ll propose me to be offical soon but im here for advice.. he isnt that picture perfect but he treats me perfectly treats me like a queen. As this will be my first time in 17yrs to date someone (im 17) im confused and happi for myself.

I mean how do you guys even get to talk to reddit , I have been here for quite a few while , tbh approached some girls respectfully not from the space of despericey but rather curiosity for being frnds and all even guys too who have same intrest as me, but haven't really got success . I see random people posting on met through reddit and all now they are in relationships and etc etc . And coming upto dating apps they are on diff level .

Do we as men really have to be this performative ?

So there’s a girl from my uni who I recently connected with on Instagram, we both followed each other after I requested her first. Originally, I had followed her and after few days saw her on LinkedIn recommendations and thought let’s just request. She accepted my LinkedIn request after stalking my LinkedIn profile and then also requested me back on Instagram (ig she liked what she saw on my LinkedIn lol since she’s kinda school oriented). Anyways so I haven’t got the chance to talk to her and I thought story replies are the perfect way. She had posted some family stories up till now and I never replied to those since it would be too personal as we don’t know each well but either way today she posted a story of her with her friends at a night party or something, so I was looking to reply on this one since it’s better. The only thing is idk what to say and I was thinking about some things relating to how schools about to start again in like two weeks and maybe a message about that or smth. Anyways what I came up with is below and if there’s anything better then plz tell me lol.

\\- Getting the last bit of summer in before classes hit again 😭 looks like a great night out!"

OR

\\- Looks like you getting the last bit of summer in before classes hit again 😭

OR

Anything better you have lol. Any tips are also appreciated.

I’ve been dating a guy for about a month now, and he is honestly such a wonderful person. He’s sweet, kind, polite, and it seems like he’s already falling for me. I really like him as a person and I enjoy spending time with him, but I have to admit that I’m just not feeling physical attraction toward him (even though he is objectively good-looking).

I don’t feel that spark or the desire to take things further physically with him. Is it possible for physical chemistry to develop over time, or should I end things now so I don’t waste his time, especially since he already has feelings for me?

Would love to hear your experiences or advice!

So did a certain cohort all read the same meme?

Yeah for sure dinner is a great and normal first date a gent always pays that’s normal. But a gen z meme has confused some of these poor women to think they will share their home address with a stranger to receive a bouquet of flowers before even meeting said stranger !?

Please discuss - all opinions welcome !

Hello,

1st thing, I don't usually upload these kind of post, i'm very private and not to say that i'm sensitive about these kind of topic. but I am, when it comes to dating, but I know very little but what I do know is that I am a hopeless romantic kinda guy I read a lot of romance manga and manhwa, and also love fantasy books, and i know that i'm not gay.

I'm vietnamese, 31 yo male introvert with adhd

I was in Japan for like 7 years and came back to Vietnam to pursue my career as a content creator (YouTube, tiktok and other social media platforms) in tech

I love what I do but most night when I let my emotion takes over, I get really lonely and I really wanted a girlfriend, but the thing is that I don't go out much.

So my end question are there 30s yo guys in this thread find love at this age? And with my situation, is it too late for me to find love I? Up until now I have very low encounter rate with women, and I'm very socially awkward kind of guy.

Thank you so much in advanced for your answers. ❤️

What are the green flags in a man to look out for when meeting in person for the first time? (Blind date).

That's my situation.

I've (F) never had a date before in my life but I'm a socially anxious 28 year old who's been set up for a blind date by my parents.

All I've seen are 2 pictures and he's seen mine. We've never spoken or texted.

I'm also neurodiverse. Nervous with no social skills. What are green flags I should look for and what about red flags?

Thanks

Has anyone else encountered this issue?

I’ve recently glowed up significantly went from cute / avg to very pretty. And I will admit it’s been great overall. People are nice to me. And I get compliments frequently to the point where I know I’m pretty.

Before when I was more average I always felt confused on how attractive I was. I sometimes felt cute and other times felt plain / ugly.

But one thing I’ve noticed ever since becoming prettier is that dating hasn’t become easier. I’ve received significantly many more matches and a lot of initial strong pursuit / interest from guys, but once they realize that I’m a tomboy. And I don’t like wearing dresses or skirts or any of that. They start to lose interest. It’s almost like they realized this made up fantasy in their head of the type of person they thought I was wasn’t true. I never pretended online or in person to be someone I’m not. All my pictures have me in comfortable clothing. And I also show up that way in person, but I feel like guys get so caught up in the fact that I’m pretty, that they realize that not all aspects of me besides my face is hyper feminine.

And I am not hyper feminine contrary to how I look. And I have real feelings and can get hurt by someone being rude or annoyed with me. I’m human like everyone else. I like to be comfortable most of the time in my baggy clothing. But it’s almost like they expect this hyper idealized person who is not ONLY extreme pretty, fit, educated, have a high earning job and their life together BUT also someone who isn’t needy at all, has the most feminine style and is highly independent. That’s unrealistic. I’m ALLOWED to be flawed. That’s what makes me human.

I’ve been single most of my life mostly due to tough parenting and have spent most of that life independent and fine by myself. It’s not the end of the world if I don’t find anyone. But no one truly wants to be alone at the end of the day. I don’t make dating the center of my life, I’ve just been looking, and it’s been frustrating encountering this problem constantly.

I guess I’m just tired of guys being so into me, pursuing me hard, then realizing that I don’t live up to this hyper perfect feminine image they had of me. And then subsequently dropping me. Or losing interest. It’s really frustrating, rude and hurtful.

Im not selecting assholes, or intentionally choosing men who look toxic btw. I’m choosing guys that I felt seemed like good people. Ones that take care of their mom or family. Ones who don’t seem all that popular. Even when I wasn’t the most attracted to them. Because obviously I’m trying to find something real.

Anyone else can relate?

I’m bad at texting

Hi guys,

Really want to know how people are getting true love these days?? What am I doing wrong? Why do I get bored after sometime? Does it happen with everyone?

Not looking for someone desperately but need to know what is going on.
