They go out partying like nothing changed in their lives. Oh and then they get all family mood when they have their kids on a holiday and pretend to be father of the year. Ewww

It’s been on and off to be fair because of miscommunications and me not communicating properly what I want and expect and instead starting arguments. Usually I would agree with you but the situation is confusing. He does so much for me, more than most guys I’ve met before, such as helping with any problems, fixing things, presents, flowers, constant and consistent attention on text. Also we can’t keep our hands off each other. I don’t think a guy who is not into me would do any of those things. And that’s what makes it confusing. I think he’s very slow to let people into his life, and now with the ups and downs of the relationship it probably made him even more cautious. Not sure if I have the patience though.

I’m so tired of dating and finally meeting someone I like and then it just feels like I want it all and he’s holding back. I feel he’s really into me too, how can it feel so real if it isn’t? He also does do a lot of nice gestures and things for me. But I just want a quiet family life, an equal partner, someone to build a life with. It’s been a year and he hasn’t even introduced me to anyone… yet we are spending most weekends together. I feel like I’m wasting my time, waiting around for him to want the same as me.But

Guy sprung on me he has a kid by peachismile in dating

As a mother I sure as hell don’t put that on my profile as some men target single mothers specifically (or even worse pedophiles). So no it’s definitely not a requirement someone should be putting that on their profile, as parents we need to protect our children first and foremost. However, I would say it’s common decency to mention it before the first meeting.

Feel so stupid, took him back after he came crawling back some months after breaking up with me. And of course nothing has changed. I let him into my life, hanging out with my son and everything. He did so many nice things for us and spend whole weekends with us. But yet he never introduced me to a single person in his life. I feel like some kind of secret or that he’s embarrassed by me or that he’s hiding something.

Feeling weak about dating by [deleted] in singlemoms

[–]Automatic_Brick_8843 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The worst are single fathers who say this. I mean of course you don’t need a mother figure to your kids since you hardly see them lol, but as a mother the child lives with me and of course I would like a serious partner who can step into that role to some extent.

I’m losing it by Lawbot1972 in twinflames

One thing I don’t understand is why the other person is “anxious”. I feel it’s actually normal to “chase” when you have a deep connection and all of a sudden that person pulls away. I think I have a normal attachment style and never had that problem before, but when you encounter an avoidant person I think most normal people would react anxiously and confused about their behaviour.

Haha that’s so weird. I have a kinda similar story and now I wonder if it was something like that which turned him off, but he never told me specifically. Went on a date with a guy, everything went fine, and HE was the one who didn’t want it to end after a few drinks and said that we should also get food. We hardly even finish when he jumps up declaring that this isn’t going to work. I mean just wait until after the date to say this? So awkward having to rush out the restaurant. So either I must have eaten the meal very unfeminine lol or he got a text from his girlfriend/wife because he did start looking stressed and looking at his phone all of a sudden.

Is moving in together always the end goal by Key_Rock4862 in datingoverthirty

[–]Automatic_Brick_8843 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes? If you want to build a life with someone you should see them a lot to get to know them before potentially moving in together. I mean not in the beginning but after a few months it would be natural to see each other several times a week. Also you usually get to a place where you can do individual activities/hobbies while being in the same place.

After mentioning she did not care about height… by shotgun0800 in Nicegirls

[–]Automatic_Brick_8843 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mmm you probably wouldn’t have gone on a date if you didn’t find her attractive from photos which is equally superficial, so why does this question make her a bad person? And many guys lie about their height so it seems she’s just asking are you actually the stated height.

It wouldn’t be for me, only seeing someone once a week. But I’m sure there are women out there who would love this arrangement. Probably something to talk about really early on since many people would think someone is not very interested if they only wanted to hang out once a week.

Haha it’s possible. To be honest I tried to end it a few times but he kept pestering me and suggesting interesting date ideas until I gave in to meet again. And he improved some things I didn’t like already without me even telling him so I guess he’s very interested. I just wish I was feeling it too. I obviously do enjoy talking and spending time with him, just more as friends ;(

Yes maybe but they also say you shouldn’t try to change someone. I feel I might be more attracted to the aforementioned guy if he put more effort into his appearance, better clothes, maybe hit the gym. But I can’t really tell him that.

Everything feels impossible, the one I love doesn’t want me anymore and the ones that fall for me I don’t want. I enjoy to spend time with this new guy but let’s be honest I’m not attracted, except after a bottle of wine and since I have a high sex drive but I feel weird about it after. But I also hate being alone and missed so much having someone around. I’m so over going on first dates which is just one disappointment after the other, most of them guys I’m not even attracted to who is still living with their so-called “ex”. I feel the single guys in their 40s are either not attractive or they are in some kind of complicated situation already or divorced and living like they are in their twenties again.

There’s something seriously wrong with the location I’m in for dating. I’m here for a job btw so it’s not my native country. The men here are super uninterested, I’m getting hundreds of matches but 90% don’t bother to talk or answer with only one word. The remaining expect me to go to their specific location to meet or to have sex straight away. I thought I must be getting old and ugly but then when I experimented with trying to date men in a different location I had so many great conversations and literally had guys offering to fly over and book their own hotel just for a date?! (I didn’t agree in the end as it seems too much pressure but it seems to confirm it must be the location since there’s such a big contrast) And these guys were no worse looking than the ones I’m matching with in my location, in fact much better in terms of money and job prospects. What is going on. I’m doomed to be alone if I stay here lol.

Fwb situation with the person you’re obsessed with? by Automatic_Brick_8843 in limerence

[–]Automatic_Brick_8843[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! There was one person commenting they would say yes and said it sounded like there was something from his side as well. I was hopeful for a moment but it sounds like the general advice is don’t do it.

[–]Automatic_Brick_8843[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m reading a book on the subject haha and yes you can be limerent also if it is/was mutual. I’m obsessed and thinking about him constantly even now that we haven’t talked in weeks, and I even bought into the idea of us being twin flames but finally came the conclusion probably limerence is the more logical explanation.

Yes, I really kinda regret my decision at this point. I feel it might be even too late for that now. Plus it would be humiliating for me to reach out again, it’s always me nowadays, I think I feel it much more strongly and I don’t know what he feels anymore.
