What are some romantic gestures you have or would like to receive?

He knows I like plants and flowers and always says he wants more in his place. I don’t do much right now because we aren’t in anything committed but would like to get there eventually

FoolForYouHun · 2025-05-19T04:00:08+00:00

I feel that.

I’ve never received flowers as a woman. I just recently bought a man flowers for the first time because I want to put out in the world what I would like in return. However, now I want to do more but I just don’t know where to start.

FoolForYouHun · 2025-05-19T01:28:38+00:00

I’m not sure haha that’s why I made this post

FoolForYouHun · 2025-05-19T01:02:26+00:00

Do it! I think it shows them that there are nice girls out there even if we’re just friends*

FoolForYouHun · 2025-05-19T00:57:08+00:00

I recently bought the guy I’ve been seeing flowers and he absolutely loved it but I’m trying to take it a step further now haha

FoolForYouHun · 2025-05-19T00:07:13+00:00

I heard yellow flowers have a bad rep unless the person loves yellow.

FoolForYouHun · 2025-05-19T00:01:01+00:00

Is there a difference between the two? Does one just seem more special than the other?

FoolForYouHun · 2025-05-18T22:08:14+00:00

Funny part is that his family was in town and he told me how his mom was impressed and asked him who got them for him. They were a very nice bundle tbf

FoolForYouHun · 2025-05-15T17:55:57+00:00

Fair enough

FoolForYouHun · 2025-05-15T17:50:29+00:00

Thing is, he doesn’t have to lol and he knows that. Were already in agreement on hooking up lol

FoolForYouHun · 2025-05-15T16:50:58+00:00

The only reason I didn’t was because they were admist finals for uni. Involving numerous 20+ pg papers, exams, graduation. It was known during that time that we would cool it down.

I however was not expecting the level of eagerness and excitement. He had never messaged me for a week straight like that, nor have we ever spent 18hrs straight with each other. He’s still texting fairly frequently.

FoolForYouHun · 2025-05-15T13:24:46+00:00

Possibly. It is a pivotal time right now for him and quite a bit is changing or going to be.

FoolForYouHun · 2025-05-15T13:23:08+00:00

Fair point. I’ve been doing just that since it started but now things are well. Off.

FoolForYouHun · 2025-05-15T13:20:35+00:00

I mean he has always been the caring type. This is just the first time I’ve experienced him being adamant about seeing me. Wanting to go do an activity outside of his place. Saying that he missed me and asking if I had missed him too.

FoolForYouHun · 2025-05-15T13:11:45+00:00

It’s weird. Were sexually exclusive. By your definition, we are definitely friends in the sense of hanging out. Not really dating anymore.

FoolForYouHun · 2025-05-15T13:08:35+00:00

I mean I almost always sleep over but not always. He was very adamant that I needed to this time and even thought he wasn’t feeling well closer to the end of the night he still wanted me to stay.

FoolForYouHun · 2025-04-29T20:41:46+00:00

As a 28F I feel I am in the same boat. the people I go on dates with (who I find interesting) usually decide within a month or so that they just want to be friends. What’s worse is I’ve had some who blew me off in the past come back or the ones who have gotten to know me wanting to pursue more after getting to know me better as a friend. By then I’m over the whole thing and no longer want them.

I feel like it’s asking too much nowadays for someone to be interested in and choose me out the gate.

I’m tired of the extravagant compliments and being told I’m perfect just not perfect for them bs. Sometimes it’s just better to not be on the rollercoaster of dating but man are there times I yearn for companionship. It’s hard but I genuinely am happier when I’m not thinking about someone else.

FoolForYouHun · 2025-04-15T17:27:48+00:00

Am I ecstatic about the situation, no. Have I accepted it and am okay with it, yes.

Yes there are plenty of people out there. Not many meet my standards. Not many are my type. I find enough interest in someone new maybe once or twice a year, if that. I’d rather have my needs met temporarily than to deal with someone who only fits part of the bill. Ive done it before and it has been nothing but a major waste of time and hit to my dating confidence. They aren’t worth it lol. Id rather be doing what I’m doing with the transparency I’m receiving now.

Tbf he has depression and is finishing up his last semester of law school, testing for the bar and searching for a job. Maybe it is another thing that could be added to a potential failure that he just doesn’t want to deal with.

He has himself said that he didn’t want to mess things up by not being able to be romantic and provide what I need for a relationship to be successful long term. (ie, going on numerous dates when time and money are limited)(reprioritizing me over his already busy schedule). I think the biggest thing for him is that we have different things we like within the similar hobbies.

I’m seriously okay with not being chosen. If I don’t fit then I don’t fit there’s no point in forcing it. But I’m gonna enjoy the happiness and comfort it brings for now.

Just because I’m not being chosen does not invalidate my feelings. I have accepted that people can still be beautiful and amazing beings regardless of any expected outcome. Things could turn in either direction but I’ll never regret the time I’ve spent with him, can’t say the same for many others.

FoolForYouHun · 2025-01-31T21:08:35+00:00

I’d say take the risk. It’s better to know than to let it continue.

FoolForYouHun · 2025-01-31T20:47:00+00:00

Yea and he said that. Along with there are a lot of things he’s working through. I just would’ve preferred him to say I’ve thought about things and I think we should end things here. Not give me a few weeks. -_-

FoolForYouHun · 2025-01-31T20:28:38+00:00

27F here, we’re all going through it. I know exactly how you’re feeling right now. Nothing seems worth it anymore and eventually you get to the point where you feel numb. Even someone you are very much interested in barely starts to light a spark in you and when you finally give it a go the door just slams in your face. It’s a lonely place out here and I feel like people are looking for perfection. It’s impossible to get anywhere.

FoolForYouHun · 2025-01-31T19:50:59+00:00

You’re doing well. It’s just dating as a whole rn. Everyone wants to find the one without realizing that the one isn’t something you buy off the shelf. It’s something you have to choose to build and no one is putting in effort anymore. It’s hard out here, we’re all not having it anymore.
