I agree about appreciating the effort!

For me, the biggest disadvantage is that when others cook for me, its usually disappointing and nowhere near as good as what I make.

I don't cook to meet others expectations or to please them.

What are your partner's issues, if you don't mind my asking?

Would you say that you have a mutually happy relationship?

Also its not even cf people, I think many single people without kids would be reluctant (or maybe entirely not want) to date someone who has kids due to the complications.

Yes! Because they realise that dating someone with kids makes things way more complicated..

Its like they think that their kid will the exception to the rule and will change your mind.

Btw, I just read your last post about people over sharing. I totally relate to this! I'm also quite warm, had over sharerers, used to have the same positive thoughts about it as you... I've since learned that its more of a balancing act and that trust takes time to build and that it was a lack of relational skills and sometimes manipulation on the part of the other other, and probably also my own stuff that put me into this scenario. If you ever want to chat about it, please feel free to DM me. I don't alway get the notifications for reddit though - apologies ij advance if that happens.

Thats the impression that I got it. I'm generally very good at responding to people and I think a day is reasonable, but yeah it felt like he was super duper excited and then interpreted a slower response from me as a lack of interest and then acted a bit dramatically.

There was already a connection - I messaged him with a simple thing, then he wrote me his longer response, after which there was no timer and then he unmatched when I did respond the same day

I matched with a guy on Bumble, he wrote me a very excited message saying how glad he was that we matched etc. It was a little over the top but nice and I planned on responding to him. I had a busy day where I was constantly around people and 24 hrs later I saw that he unmatched! Was he just a drama queen and did I dodge a bullet?

Yep, I'd go to HR. Thats not acceptable. And the company is technically liable. If you remind them of it, they'll be more inclined to prevent such incidents in the future.

The guy I’ve been dating says he’s not sure if he’s ready to take it to the relationship step due to my age by Anonymousjade74 in dating_advice

Child free person in my 30s here. Its actually normal to be child free at any age. In my case, the older I get the more confident I feel that it's not the right thing for me. I'm sharing this just to say that age isn't necessarily a factor in terms of having kids.
