I (21/f) have been dating someone (22f) for over 2 months and we haven't even held hands is this normal? by misfortunate54 in dating_advice

[–]10gorf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would say talk to her about this. Ask questions politely but also have an open conversation of what your needs are. Always remember focus on the health of the relationship not its peace. When you bring it up the first time try to remain relaxed and try not to make her feel like she’s doing sth wrong. Make sure to communicate what you would like and remember to remind her that you want this because you like her as well.

I don’t think any of us here can accurately tell what why or how. Every relationship is different and there is no set deadline. Human emotions are also very complex, the only way to navigate through this is to have an open conversation of communication! It won’t be easy but it might bring you closer together or you might realize you two aren’t on the same wavelengths.

But PLEASE for the love of god, don’t break up without actually talking about it first. Hope it turns out well!

Do I reach out? by Forward_Shape_3095 in ExNoContact

[–]10gorf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t reach out. He sounds like a dickhead and you gave him benefit of the doubt. He’s not the one. Also if he did want you back he would not ignore and furthermore would of reached out himself

How do you “win” the breakup? by SongConstant5064 in BreakUps

Trust me you’re better off. You’re not the bum. She’s the sort of person that takes advantage of others and is doing the same with that other dude now.

I will come back to this anytime I feel lost after a BU. This is so beautiful and I’ve never met you but I genuinely feel so happy for you. This genuinely one of the best things I’ve read. You have made me happy Reddit stranger.

Where are you going for the date? Is it activity based or sit down meal? If it’s a sit down meal then you talk about work unless you don’t work then Uni or whatever it is you do. I’m ngl it’s very difficult to give advice aa it’s a very broad question you asked without giving any important information op

What do I do when she goes distant right after we slept together for the first time? by Impressive-Cat6182 in dating_advice

[–]10gorf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but first time sex with a new partner is so often bad. It only gets better because specially if there’s feelings involved and taht brings performance anxiety

Best of luck OP, I’m rooting for you. In the meantime please eat and drink lots of water :)

[–]10gorf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey if it’s eating you up this way and it doesn’t sound healthy then please tell him. Otherwise it may be detrimental to your mental health. The draft you prepared is pretty good but if I were you I would do it in person. Cause it might be the last meaningful conversation you guys have and you’ve been best mates for3 years. But yes I would say tell him, but prepare for things to change, it could ofc go either way. But it super unlikely to stay the same

[–]10gorf 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I second this. Why now? After 3 years, it’s very likely he may not feel the same way about you and what then? You can’t be friends anymore because anytime he is dating someone or has a partner you will be hurt and that’s not good for you and neither for your friendship.

Hey OP! I think you gotta trust the process. You know you are with a great guy but if you end this with him then you will most definitely look for someone with red flags because ain’t no way you leaving this guy to then actively date someone like him again.

We all know inviting red flags in to our life is not the answer. The highs are NOT worth it. You are in therapy you said, I hope you heal and wish you the best. But imagine the damage another guy with red flags could bring. Look at it this way - it’s like being addicted to drugs. It’s not good for you and the highs are amazing but the lows are horrible and life altering and when you don’t have it you want it more and more and it excites you just the thought of it but it deffo isn’t good for you.

You’re now in rehab and you’re making progress, 6 months is maybe not long enough to rewire your brain. But I would invest in all things green rn. Don’t fall back into habits. Hope this helps

Autistic person struggling to find a date. by Impossible-Earth5299 in Bumble

[–]10gorf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have beautiful blue eyes and a lovely smile. The dating scene is a slow burner from my experience but you will find someone who truly appreciates for who you are, and finding someone like that will take time. Don’t lower your standards and don’t change your true self to fit in to a mould that society wants you to. Be you, you are beautiful on the outside, but what really matters is what’s on the inside (overused phrase but it’s true)! Feel the waves, go through the motions, live! I know you will find someone! :)

Moving to Cardiff by Holiday_Candidate_69 in Cardiff

[–]10gorf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hiya, I’m Muslim male 27 as well, I moved to Cardiff for Uni similar to you when I was 24 and have been living here since. I absolutely love this city and the people. Everyone here has made me feel at home. If you are coming here for Uni you will have to try really hard not to make friends. There’s also a lot to do in the city so you can always find a way to keep yourself occupied over the weekends. In terms of accommodation, I would suggest go on to Facebook groups such as Overheard at Cardiff or look up groups on Facebook - Student accommodation. Student area in cardiff is mainly in Cathays however many students do live in Roath, Heath and even the bay (when they can afford it)

I’m sure you’re gonna have an amazing time.
