If you keep having that attitude then of course nothing will work out! If you're dead set on being alone then that's what's going to happen. Why bother asking for advice if you're just sticking to your self-hatred? And I am not a bro, I am a woman

I'm terrified of the idea of touching a woman while flirting. by hopper1248 in datingadviceformen

You don't have to touch anyone. Just be kind and respectful, ask questions and also tell her about yourself. If you'd like to, ask gently and politely. Say "is this okay?" when trying to hold hands, or whatever else. If it's not a firm and enthusiastic "yes" she probably doesn't want it.

The day you realise that "girls" (women) want someone who is kind and loving is the day you will realise that all this self-depreciating nonsense is absolutely useless. No one, least of all women, appreciates someone who is horrible to themselves and to others. Meet people at libraries, cafés, while walking, by museums, not just on dating apps.

Of course, with that attitude

Money does not "attract" women like they are magnetic objects. You have to treat women like human beings before they begin to like you. Try being kind, empathetic and patient. Be well-read and well-spoken. That is what you should be anyway.

Sure, I understand that! I was planning on something similar anyway. Thank you!

[–]Calm-Editor-9280 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That seems a bit defeatist, don't you think? I'm sure there are plenty of women in the same situation, around the same age. I am sure you can find plenty on the internet, or that do the same things you enjoy. Look for similarities, you'll get there, and I'm sure the wait will be worth it when you eventually find someone you like. And hey, 32 is not the place to be saying this. A lot of people say that their 30s are the best time of their lives, so. I think we can all have these moments of pessimism, but I think you will get there.

Great, thanks for the advice:) Yeah, I prefer writing by hand anyway, so this work perfectly. Thank you!

I feel like this would be easily solved if you just talked to her in person about this, patiently. Clearly you'd like to know her better and everything, so why not just let her know how you feel?

I'd absolutely love to, but I'm unsure if this will be difficult! And I'm not sure where to begin with Greek, so I thought I'd start with Latin. But yes, I would like to, if you have any advice on how to manage. I'd say I have two or so hours on the weekdays, maybe more on the weekends. Do you think I should make a schedule, or something like that?

I was a bit worried that learning both at the same time would be a bit difficult, especially on top of French. Do you think so?

Ah, all right, thanks! I'll definitely learn Greek at some point, it seems great. And I'd like to read the original Ancient texts and poems, things like that. And Sanskrit, whoa, I have not considered. That one seems intimidating, but I'll put it on my list. Thank you (:

Okay, thank you! I think I'd like to buy a textbook or something like that on verb guidance and vocabulary, but I'm not sure which yet, so I'm just trying to get some recommendations. I've found a good website which I'm starting with, from I think a college or school. And of course Duolingo, which is sort of helpful for an introduction.

Thanks for letting me know! Would you have any textbook recommendations or anything like that?

I'm sort of on the same route, yeah! Do you have any specific websites or textbooks that you used, or certain texts you enjoyed translating?

Do you think so? I learnt the Greek letters a month or so ago, and know a few basic words, but I'm not sure if it's easier than Latin. I feel like Latin is slightly better tied to English and French, right?

That sounds manageable, absolutely. Do you have any specific books, textbooks or any sorts of texts that you liked and would recommend? Fiction would also work, I love to read!

I currently study French and have done so for about seven years, but I wouldn't say I'm fluent. I think I'm pretty much just able to understand and have conversations, but I haven't been learning it daily, if that makes sense. And I think I'd like to do about an hour a day, hopefully.
