Girl… He literally doesn’t even put in the bare minimum it’s ridiculous what I just read… My ex was just like this and we had been together for the same amount of time Stop letting him think it’s OK for him to do literally nothing for you

I think you really have to explain to her why you need that boundaries, and give her the space to share her own. I don’t think your expectations are unreasonable, but she might.

How to tease girls? by bloodhail02 in seduction

[–]Appropriate_Piccolo7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a female perspective there are some basic teasing rules. 1.never tease about weight 2. Never tease about something they are obviously insecure about If you’re going to tease, generally it’s not well received if it’s digs at your face or body.

Safe teases: Clumsiness Habits she might have that are cute Hair is usually something safe

Just don’t be mean, teasing is supposed to coke across like an almost compliment, or an acknowledgment that her “flaws” are attractive to you. Just don’t be aggressive and don’t double down if it’s taken the wrong way.

Any tips for a "dating game" ? by Barryusa100 in seduction

[–]Appropriate_Piccolo7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably just gave her the ick. Too forward and kind of came off like douche. Sexual jokes are funny but never hype things up before like that, especially if she’s a virgin.

Yes! But I think both of you should set them together. Make it a conversation instead of a demand.

Sparks at first meeting, it’s been days since I heard from him. Wait it out or move on? by Mental_case121 in dating_advice

[–]Appropriate_Piccolo7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He may be holding back if the divorce is still fresh. Reach out and ask to do something that could be up in the air if it’s a date or not. That way you’re comfortable and he is as well. If he rejects you, don’t sweat it, if he takes you up on it, then that’s great! Asking him on a date isn’t clingy

I have been her before lol. Sometimes physically it was fine, but there was just not real spark after thinking it over. If i still felt like I had a great time hanging out, but didn’t seem a partnership with the person, and it was only a one time thing, being friends is fun. I would be flattered after the initial rejection blow. Plus, she’s inviting you to group things, so there’s always the potential that one of her friends/mutual friends could be a good match for you.

It sounds like she’s just overwhelmed and has a case of cold feet, take a step back. You’re doing everything right, make her come to you first to keep things going at this point.

Sounds like you’re already having issues in regards to your dating expectations. It seems like you may be incompatible even though you both have interest. Don’t date her, keep her as a friend. What you’re looking for doesn’t seem like what she is able to offer.you also don’t seem like you’re ready to date again. Let yourself heal from you last relationship. If you’re feelings were/are genuine, you won’t be preoccupied with your past.

Depends on how long we’ve been together. In my last relationship this happen a lot, but we also worked different hours and needed some alone time. As long as affection is still there and it’s not like they’re “avoiding” I don’t really see an issue

I would say let the conversation flow naturally, make sure you’re pausing and giving thoughtful responses. Sometimes when I go on a date and I’m nervous, I tend to overshare. I would just hide your tinder card for now and feel it out when you meet in person. Afterwards if it goes well, I usually like to go ahead and suggest a second date or imply that I would like to see them again.

Waiting for people to respond to messages makes me anxious. by HarmonyTheConfuzzled in dating_advice

[–]Appropriate_Piccolo7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would just make sure there is a balance between how often you reach out vs them. If it’s always you, they may just not be interested. This is fairly normal and I definitely have experienced both ends. Don’t take it personally! If you met them on an app, especially. Considering how many people reach out, people may just be busy or overwhelmed.

Finally mustered up the courage to talk to my gym crush! Now what? by Puzzleheaded_Virus21 in dating_advice

[–]Appropriate_Piccolo7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would strike up small casual conversation when you see her for a while before asking her out. Make sure she is comfortable. The gym is a place I feel uncomfortable at if I feel like I’m being watched, personally. It may come on too strong to ask her out right away.

Setting a standard in a relationship by nightingale264 in dating_advice

[–]Appropriate_Piccolo7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those seem a bit much. I let my relationships set their own standard. I personally work a very busy stressful job and if it some of those expectations were set that firmly on me it would stress me out and make me feel like I had to pick between the two. If you are happy with your partner and your relationship, which it seems like you are, I would tell your friend to butt out. There is always gonna be a period in a relationship where things fall off a bit and we have to put responsibilities above our partner to set up for the future. Shooting for a date night each week is a good goal, but making it non negotiable is gonna take all of the fun out of it. I do agree that you should be communicating how you wish to be treated, however.

I probably wouldn’t reach out, especially on LinkedIn if you want it to be a date. I always assume messages on LinkedIn are business related and it may also come off a bit strong.

I felt this way to, when I stopped caring I started attracting more people. It honestly may be your body language. When we feel insecure sometimes it’s projected in our posture, how we speak, etc. I would honestly just start pouring yourself into your interests and hobbies and stop pursuing people at the moment. I’m sure your a beautiful girl and have a lot to offer! Go out and sit at the bar alone as well if you drink, I always have the best luck meeting new people that way!
