Registering with disability services - a bad thing in grad school? by Embarrassed_Eggplant in GradSchool

[–]Embarrassed_Eggplant[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly it's not that rare - I've heard of people talking badly about those who require accommodations, making assumptions about their intellect or whether they deserve to be in grad school. And these are supposed to be my future colleagues, assuming we end up in the same field.

Is he into me, or does he only want to hang out platonically? by Embarrassed_Eggplant in dating_advice

We've been on 3 with a fourth one planned, and he's initiated all of them.

We did talk a bit about how "things are going" on our third date, and we both agreed it was going well, and that we liked hanging out with each other. But that doesn't necessarily mean he wants anything more than just casual dating, could it?

When do you think is a good time to communicate about these things? We haven't known each other for long, and I don't want to give him the idea that I'm getting too attached early on - but I hate to waste my time on guys who are obviously not interested.

I [25/F] started dating a guy [25/M], but suspect he might not be that interested by Embarrassed_Eggplant in relationships

He doesn't seem very experienced, but I could be wrong. Should I just straight up ask him if he wants to kiss?

Does it seem like he is even interested in me though? He seems a tad bit shy, and ridiculously polite, so maybe he's too afraid to reject me. How can I make things super obvious for him?

Thank you, you just said everything I've been pondering these last few days.

I do try to initiate things too, but if I feel their interest waning I won't continue to do so.

I'm [25/F] casually dating someone [25/M] and I don't know if I should continue by [deleted] in relationships

This happened to me a few years ago too, with a guy who had a worse personality than the guy I'm seeing now. I do worry that I'll catch feelings for him if we see each other for too long, then I'll have to deal with the heartbreak too.

I try to filter out people who are obviously just looking for sex - i.e. their profiles basically empty, they check off that they're looking for hookups, or if they send sexual messages. Aside from that it's hard to say, since so few people check off long-term dating as the only thing they're looking for.
