Hi all! I've recently reconnected with a girl I'd had couple of dates with several years ago (things ended nowhere then because of her being just broken up with and still living with her bf at the time). I had a 2-year relationship in the meantime which ended couple of months ago. Initially she seemed surprised to hear from me but after a little bit of texting back and forth we agreed on a date at a restaurant for Sunday evening. 1st date went great. We talked (70-80% of the talking was hers) and laughed a lot. We both seemed to enjoy each other's company and mentioned that we should see each other for a little hike in the mountain sometime soon. I texted her the nex…

So he kept saying I’m going to marry you one day. Then last night he says I didn’t mean really marry you just that is to show you I’m really committed. Mentions that why would we get married at this age 50 again. Holy mixed up now

So I got a text out of the blue last week from a girl I had flirted with at this party 3 weeks ago. After 2-3 exchanges I set a date and we went out last Wednesday. Thought it went quite well, good laugh, good conversations, banter, etc... and then 30 mins when I got home I got a text from her thanking me for the great evening and hoping I enjoyed it too. Honestly, nothing made it seem she would fall off the face of the world. A couple days or so later (yesterday) I sent her a text asking when she was likely to be free next week... no answer. I haven't sent anything else. I guess I completely misundertood this.

What do you do if your messages have been consistently seen zoned? I stopped sending message to this a certain guy and act chill even though he is ignoring me. I stopped for self-respect. I even uninstalled my Messenger. But honestly, it hurts inside. I have been crying only for this. Am I being childish ? I tried to keep myself per-occupied at work to move on but it really hurts. I don’t know why I feel fragile lately. Sorry, I really feel sad and I don’t feel opening up this to my friends and family. They are always busy. I want to move on. I believe that I have not done something wrong. Perhaps, it’s definitely better to distance myself from hi…

I met this guy playing beer pong at a college party 2 years ago. We immediately hit it off and he came home with me that night. Over the next few weeks we continued to hook up and I caught MAJOR feelings. Everything seemed to be there with him- looks, sense of humor, intelligence, shared interests, very similar career goals, religion, politics, etc. So I asked him out on a real date but he said he wasn't looking for a relationship at the time. Fast forward 2 years later: I've graduated college and he's still in school. We've been DMing each other on twitter every now and again. He tells me all the time how much he loves my tweets. We recently hung out in my college town a…

She is about 20-21 y/o. I am 27 y/o. she is now single. Basically, I tried to contact my neighbours grand-daughter through her Instagram account (I wanted to wait until she came over, but she is never there). Tbh I thought *** it, why not? I sent a DM (with my intentions) with a follow request and she declined the request (though I later came to find out she was in a relationship, when she declined). Not long after sending the DM her presence around my neighbours has increased a lot over the past 6 months. My neighbours house is attached to mine, so we are like toe-toe. About 1 month after sending the DM she has been out on the neighbours drive standing alone…

A little background: during the whole pandemic I ended up meeting someone through a bunch of church zoom calls last year that I got to know through text and phone calls. I'll finally get to meet her in person soon at a church convention and I am not sure how to approach the situation. I really like her and I want to get to know her on a higher level. I know we haven't met in person yet so it may be a little premature but I want to let her know that my intention to meeting her is to see if there is mutual interest. I tried testing the waters by messaging her that I was looking forward to finally meeting her and she replied by saying that she's looking forward to seeing…

(25-29) I had this message exchange with this guy I'm seeing for some time, we are sort of dating and slept together: Him: Im going to a standup comedy show with a friend of mine im the evening. I am free afterwards. Around 10-11 probably Me: Awesome! Call me if u want once you're done, we can meet in the centre and go at this party or somewhere else for drinks. Him: Gooood Me: see you later! He hasn't called me yet neither texted. Mind that we met two days ago and he told me I love you (we see each other about a month).

Hi everyone, Two months ago I met this guy on tinder, and we hit it off really well. I am working abroad for the season and he lives here. We both still had some issues, I was still in love with a guy that rejected me and he was still not over his ex that dumped him overnight 1,5 year ago. So we decided to keep it casual. These two months have been wonderful. I spend all my free time with him and also went on a few trips together through the country. If we hadn't met under these circumstances I would have definitely fallen in love with him. This week he sends me a text saying that he doesn't want to sleep together anymore and wants to go back to being pla…

For the past few months, I've had this co-worker who's had an unrequited crush on me. She's liked me for a while, but I simply never returned the feelings up until recently. I don't know how to explain it, but there was just one day a couple of weeks ago where I noticed that she looked really nice (even though she didn't appear to change her appearance very much) and I've been contemplating warming up to her and giving her a chance. It took a lot of pacing back and forth and working up my nerves, but yesterday after work, I finally did it: I asked her out. This was my first time ever asking out a woman...and I failed. Not only did she reject me, but she told me that …

I have been casually talking to/seeing this guy for a couple months. We used to work together a few years ago and reconnected when we both moved to a new city around the same time. He had a game night with a few friends recently and also invited his ex. Throughout the night, he would call her by a nickname and occasionally bring up old inside jokes. Apparently, she is from the area, and he got back in touch with her when he moved. They've even hung out one on one a few times. I know people can be friends with exes, but it rubs me the wrong way because he tries so hard to be friends with her in particular. He sent her a friend request a year after they broke up, …

Hey everyone, there is this man who has asked me out several times, and each time he asked me out for a walk. I don't think it's because of Covid because things got back to normal in my city, and cafes and bars are open again. Now I don't expect a guy to spend a lot of money on dates, but I'd like to see some effort, like he thought about taking me somewhere. Museum and exhibitions are open too (some are for free) so there are plenty of options, but he always suggest a walk instead. I don't find it very appealing to only go for a walk, I'd like to feel at least a little special, and walks require minimum effort. He's working so it's not like he's unemployed, but as …

Pulls her hand away and ends up saying that her feelings aren't there. How does one respond to that?

So I have been seeing a new guy for 2 months. He has been a gentleman for all of this time. In between I have gone on a 3 week vacation in which he texted calls all the time saying very nice things and saying he is falling in love with me. So I get back everything is great. He is now gone on vacation for a week but when he calls he has to be outside with no one around. He has said things like can you call me quickly as I’m in a parking lot getting coffee. I asked could I call last night in a text and he said hang on I’ll call you in a minute. He has not texted as much and I’m getting suspicious if he is with someone. He has asked we be exclusive so I’m hoping he is bein…

I have been 100% single for a little over 4 years. Was lonely, but keeping myself busy. A little over a month ago I commented on a friends Facebook post and another friend of theirs commented as well. That turned into this friend messaging me. We were talking on and off for about a week. He says, call him. I do. So now we are calling and texting, having pretty steady conversation for about 2 weeks. He finds out I'm about to leave for 29 days visiting family on a road trip. So he brings up that we should meet in person before I go. He lives long distance, but not too far. I say, okay, I can go visit a friend of mine in the same town that he lives and we can meet up what wa…

A few years ago I met a girl overseas and we almost became a thing but miscommunication lead to it never happening. I went on to another, cutting her out of my life out of respect for the girl I was dating at the time. After that relationship ended I reached out to find out that me leaving her life had really hurt her. She was still there for me to help guide me through a rough patch, but there seemed to be an energy that she was still upset so I felt bad and decided to let her be and leave her alone. Through out the years she always messaged to see how I was doing every couple of months or so and we would send a few messages back in forth on how life was going. But …

Was dating this guy since March and three days ago he basically told me he wanted to date others that’s why he’s been distant so i respected his decision and said “okay i understand “ then i blocked him now he’s texting me and asking me why i blocked him. I blocked him from social media and on his main cell phone now he’s texting me from another number asking why i keep blocking him

Hey, ENA. So, this post asks an abstract question in the hopes that it may be applied to a particular situation. The Question: How long - or at what point - is it appropriate and safe to pursue someone who left a relationship spanning some amount of months? The Context: There is this person, K, whom I have known for over two years. I met her in my alma mater's ballroom dance club when I was in graduate school and she was in undergrad. We are friends. She and I have expressed interest in one another at different times. Unfortunately, one of us usually expresses interest when the other is in a relationship. We've each asked the other person on a date or said…

Dear all, I'd like to thank you for being "here" for me in my last post. I'm happy to announce that I broke up with my ex boyfriend, officially, after some more days of him being extremely cold. He took all the blame for what happened between us, he didn't want to break up & he wants to reunite with me after the summer - to which I replied that we shouldn't hold on to any promises coz life is out there, ready to be lived to the fullest. The breakup was amicable and cordial. But, this last experience and your comments about how he was manipulative and only in it for the sex, made me realize that, I am one to let my guard down easily. I haven't had many expe…

Hi, I would like to know some steps on meeting someone in person. I joined a dating website. I am talking to a person. we move on to talking on the phone and texting. how long should I get to know this person before we meet in person? this person says they but know me well? this person says that we need to be friends first. to me this person does not want a relationship. I used to have at some point to go about meeting in person. we have been talking for about a month or so. any help will be good advice. E

So Tuesday I asked how her schedule would be this week. She told me, so I asked if she was up for a restaurant at 8pm. Stupidly, I forgot to mention the day, so she thought I was asking her out Tuesday. I replied "I mean Friday, sorry" and she replied "Ah yes that should be good". I don't know, but there's something about her response that makes me think she'll envutally cancel? What do you guys think?

So my boyfriend texted me yesterday while I was shopping the whole day asking if I can talk, I think I'm overreacting a bit too much. I never did anything wrong (neither did he), we fought only once but we moved on from it, our one month is this Sunday, and we have good chemistry together. It's either that he just want to talk to me or I upset him. Help!!

Hi everyone, after taking some time to heal from my previous relationship I feel like I’m finally ready to date again. A month ago I met someone on Tinder and we started messaging all day and night untill now. Last thursday we “went” on a date. Had some drinks and eat something and talked the whole evening. She messaged me she liked it and we went on with the messaging the following days. So far so good :). Untill suddenly this week I noticed her replies where less enthousiastic and kinda short. She didn’t do much effort to keep the conversation alive. I asked her again on a date and she said “Yes, but not this week. We will look for a date next week”. She was less e…

Another thread by me sorry.. but the advice is so helpful and genuine on here. Basically I'm talking to this girl who I'm really into. But she's just asked how long I've been single for and I told her since the start of January (so coming up to 7 months) and she seemed shocked/surprised it's not been long? Then she asked how long I was with my ex for. Christ.. pleast dont tell me this is where it ends before its even begun? I was with my ex for 5 years but I ended it as I was no longer in love with her but I don't want to tell this girl I'm talking to any of this so soon anyway. Is 7 months really not that long??

So I’ve been head over heels for this woman for the last decade. 10 years ago we talked about dating but just wasn’t ready and fell apart. Well a year later we started talking again and it came down to her having to pick between another guy and myself. (Obviously she picked the other guy). Well after that we both got married I got divorced and about 2 years ago we started talking again and she’s still married but it’s a bad situation(from what she tells me). So we have talked everyday for the last 2 years and about a year ago started sending each other pictures(yea those pics) and started FaceTiming as well atleast 2-3 times a month. So last month I drove to see her in…
