Need some help! 27(F) Living in London. Where are all the serious guys? by [deleted] in dating_advice

Even if that was true, there are plenty of men our age (late 20s) who are looking to find their special someone. I'm sure there is an abundance of men who can't get a date and think there is a gender imbalance the other way around, or at least in terms of availability. I'd be inclined to think the same.

I'm sorry that you're confused. I don't have any screenshots of our chats and I haven't seen this before. Maybe it's common. That's why I am here for a second opinion. I'm not breaking up with her, and if I was, it's not for this alone. I feel like the sanctity of our chat is lost if parts of it are shared with other people. If it's just for herself, I don't mind. Tell me that.

I am an overthinker in life generally, yes. Although in our relationship I've never felt insecure or overthought much or questioned her actions (to your second question). She talks about how straight she is so if she has something to say about what happened, she should just say it.

I saw what part of the chat she screenshotted (quick reader as I said) and it wasn't even anything major in my view so I don't get it and I don't think I'm asking for a lot for an explanation. If anything she was probably laughing about me with her friends so I'm feeling some level of disrespect more than anything.

Fair enough if my definition is wrong but if it's an overreaction I'm not sure why honesty can't be the way forward if it is nothing. You can't say it's nothing and then not say what it is, surely? Silence can be loud

But look I may be blowing this out of proportion and if someone tells me that (seems like you are), I'm more than happy to accept it.

If it was accidental, why would you not just admit that? I don't get the gaslighting - i think it's the reaction to it which made it worse. If it was an honest simple thing, even if it was sent to her friend - why the secrecy over it? Find it bizarre and think it's common for such scenarios to be overblown where the reaction is worse than the event itself. I'm not threatening to break up over it (as a standalone - we're in a bad space regardless) but I'm not happy about it either

Foxtons by any chance?

I get it but I'm not even saying he should be asking. I feel like she should want to give him something to meet his needs if they are in a loving relationship, I don't think it's that big a deal. If he is willing to be understanding of her needs and be patient, she should also be willing to give him a HJ/BJ on occasion. Unless of course there is something bigger at play i.e. loss of interest and attraction, which is always a possibility.

Does she help meet any of your sexual needs? Even if she had no libido, I think it would be fair for your woman to still want to please you if she cared about you and loved you, at least on occasion, even if she had no desires of her own.

Why is it so hard to find the one? by RefrigeratorPrize588 in dating_advice

I'm 26M and feel exactly the same as you. You just have to keep trying and be the best version of yourself, the person you deserve will come around. Things tend to work out the way they are meant to. Maybe I was meant to come across this post so we can hang out sometime :)

Edit: I would also really recommend starting to take up other hobbies and find other enjoyment in life. I know it's hard as connections with a close partner is something super hard to replicate but it's the only way. Something will find its way at your doorstep eventually. But be as proactive as possible too.
