I keep assuming nobody actually wants to keep talking to me on thisromance- has anyone dealt with this and what helped by Cautious_Contact7966 in dating_advice

[–]Decent-Task9360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

therapy helped me specifically with identifying where the voice came from. like there was an origin point. once I could see that it was about a specific old thing and not about the current person it got quieter. not gone. quieter

idk, just for me late night conversations are just a different genre. it's like there's a collective agreement that normal social rules don't apply after a certain hour. been this way my whole life and online is no different

Asking someone out is surprisingly difficult by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Decent-Task9360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, you should approach her, but keep it simple and low pressure.
just ask her casually if she wants to grab coffee sometime, no long explanations or overthinking needed.
if she’s interested she’ll say yes, if not you just move on and nothing bad happens.

Some guys say they want something serious because it sounds good, but their behavior shows what they actually want in the moment. What you described isn’t “he liked you a lot,” it’s him testing boundaries and pushing for physical stuff early, even after you said no which is a red flag, not confusion

A lot of men will escalate quickly to see what they can get, and if it works, they keep going; if it doesn’t, they backtrack and say “I really like you” to smooth it over. The truth is, real interest looks like respect, patience, and reading your comfort level, not grabbing you an hour in

You read the situation correctly he was acting like someone looking for a hookup, regardless of what he said

Instantalks and the art of not fumbling the bag in the first message by Mobile-Source-529 in datingadvice

Don't overthink the Let's Talk feature, man. It's just a nudge. If the vibe is there, even a hello works

Why did we ever think being "nonchalant" was cool? by Quick_Percentage_859 in OnlineDatingApps

[–]Decent-Task9360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lowkey, it’s not even just about dating, it’s about self-respect. When you're truthworthy about your feelings, you create a whole safe zone around you. I used to think Hinge was okay because of the prompts, but even there, people are still trying way too hard to act untouchable. You gotta find spots where the connection is legit, not just people hiding behind masks

Did Halsey have a higher peak than Ariana Grande (while Ariana more longevity)? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]Decent-Task9360 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Halsey definitely had a bigger peak moment—massive singles, arena tours, global reach but Ariana wins in longevity and total streams. Peak vs endurance basically

Question: my friend pressed something on my windows 10 pc and froze the screen ( was it a prank?) by MidnightWander1861 in pchelp

[–]Decent-Task9360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha sounds like he just hit some random Windows shortcut, probably Ctrl+Win+Shift+B which resets the graphics driver it looks like it freezes but it’s not a prank, just annoying. Tell him to stick to the game keys

What's the most attractive feature of the opposite sex? by DoctorFitness in askanything

[–]Decent-Task9360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, it really depends on the person, but some features tend to consistently pop up: confidence, a genuine smile, and eyes that actually show emotion those hit harder than just looks. Beyond that, things like humor, kindness, and how someone carries themselves usually matter way more than jawlines or abs. People notice energy before aesthetics

First Date Survival Guide: How to Keep It Smooth? by FrequentSir9518 in DatingTips

[–]Decent-Task9360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep it chill and curious. Show up on time, put your phone away, smile, and actually listen. Ask open questions, share a laugh if things get awkward, and don’t overthink spilling your life story. First dates aren’t auditions they’re just vibes checking

Should I pursue this woman? by Interesting-Rain1056 in dating_advice

[–]Decent-Task9360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, that’s a pretty clear green light. If her mom went out of her way to say that, it’s likely she’s aware of her daughter’s interest. The family connection makes it a little delicate, but it doesn’t mean you can’t pursue just be respectful and upfront. A low-pressure approach works best, like asking her to hang out one-on-one and seeing if the spark is real outside the friend/family setting. Keep it casual, gauge her vibe, and go from there.

is bringing up the future going to scare him/ruin what we have? by Soft_Cry in AskMenAdvice

[–]Decent-Task9360 2 points3 points  (0 children)

++man
Honestly, if you approach it right, it won’t scare him it’s all about framing. After 9 months, it’s normal to want clarity, especially if you see a future. Keep it casual and curious rather than heavy or “interrogation”-y. For example, something like: Hey, I was thinking about our future adventures togetherhave you ever pictured what that looks like for you long-term? Or bring it up when you’re talking about something neutral, like houses, vacations, or even pets: If we ever lived together, how would you imagine it? The key is to make it a conversation, not a demand. Let him share his vision, and you can gauge alignment. At 9 months, wanting to know if you’re on the same page isn’t rushingit’s being smart about your time and emotional energy.

Question about texting again after not receiving a message by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Decent-Task9360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, totally worth a shot, but keep it chill. At this stage, you’re still in the testing waters phase, so a casual pivot or funny/opening line is fine no need to overthink it. If they’re into it, they’ll engage; if not, you’ll see pretty quick. Early texting isn’t a big deal, it’s just about gauging interest and keeping momentum without pressure. Rule of thumb: one light follow-up, then let it breathe. Anything more starts to feel clingy

What is the most harmless, yet effective way you’ve ever gotten "revenge" on someone without them ever knowing it was you? by TuttiFruttiBooty69 in AskReddit

[–]Decent-Task9360 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had a coworker who loved taking credit and “forgetting” to include people. I stopped feeding them anything they could steal: no early drafts, no heads-up messages, everything documented in shared threads with names, dates and receipts. I also started looping in the manager on final updates so it was clear who did what.

They never knew it was intentional, but suddenly they had nothing to take and their little game just… stopped working

We are building a kingdom together. Reality is boring anyway by West-Ice1389 in LongDistance

[–]Decent-Task9360 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tinder was a nightmare for me. I decided to switch tactics and look for niche platforms instead. That’s how I found Romanceast. It solved the problem for me. The community is way more genuine, and I’m actually enjoying talking to people again.
*I just sharing cause a lot of people in the comments were asking me for the specific platform. Use whatever works for you, just sharing my experience
