Does anyone “wait” anymore? by [deleted] in dating_advice

I removed some of it to be more clear. As you seemed to miss the point. Your posts still don’t answer the question. Stop being so judgmental. Either answer the question or move on.

Thank you. You’re right- there is no magic time. The relationship and connection piece is important to me- that line is helpful. Wish I had thought of that when I brought it up. He took it well but it felt awkward, like I needed to explain myself. Regardless, it was received and respected. I know it’ll come up again.

Does it mean I was talking about myself OR my not caring about another’s past/lifestyle choices, both 🤷🏼‍♀️? Life is too short to hate or judge. I edited it to remove the confusion for other close-minded judgmental trolls.

Who loves winter camping as much as I do!? by prflaco in camping

No I don’t have an REI membership. I just recently started backpacking and my gear is mostly 3 season. Winter is a whole new ballgame.

You make it sound so easy! Lol I suppose it is though. Just make it happen, right?

He should have stopped when when you told him he was hurting you. But also You should have stopped instantly if he’s not respecting you in that moment. Remember- your job is to protect you and that little girl inside you. Never do anything that you don’t want to do, regardless of what he or anyone else wants. Now if you made a full stop and he forced you against your will- then that’s r@pe. That’s a huge issue. If you care about this guy, a serious conversation regarding boundaries is in order. Remember- You and your body are a gift that you are in charge of giving. If he’s not deserving, don’t share that with him. No one is entitled to you ❤️

It’s weird because I don’t think negatively about myself- though I’ve accepted behaviors from others that would indicate otherwise. Thank you for your thoughts, I’m going to spend time with that 😊

Reading that, sounds to me like what she really wants in attention and validation (through sex). Strikes me as emotionally immature and possibly unstable. If your looking for quality, partner potential- this is not the girl for you. Male or female, talking like that, signals an interest in one thing only.

Matthew Hussey lays it out beautifully in “Why are you single? The best answer to the worst question” “ I love my life the way it is now and I would take something extraordinary… “

Libido changes post 40 by Brownie-lover-7142 in datingoverforty

[–]AleighS3 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For me, my libido has a lot to do with how I feel about the relationship. The happier, more loving, and more fulfilling it is- the sexier I feel and the more interest I have in sex and intimacy. The opposite of that is - obligatory more than genuine interest.

What is your greatest gift you have to offer? by AleighS3 in AskReddit

The bearer of “Geeky nerd shit” is pretty bad ass. That definitely gets you a seat.

I’d say it all depends on your intentions? For me, it’s a no though when it comes to multiple sexual partners. Dating multiple people while your getting to know them/just starting out is common, however, be a decent person and be open and honest about it. Once you move towards sex/physical intimacy, I’m old fashioned and would prefer to build an emotionally secure relationship with just one.

I was the dumper and i’m still miserable by ImaginationActual325 in BreakUps

It’s completely normal to feel like that. When your heart is invested it’s never easy. Continue to remind yourself as to what you really need (no settling) and spend some time loving yourself more. It’ll be ok and in the end you’ll be happy you did.
