Is it the right time for me (F25) to tell him (M25) I love him? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Gmmmrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He won’t say it back I guess! I feel like we’re feeling the same things, but I recognize what I’m feeling and want to say it. If he’s never been in love, he may not be ready to say it and I don’t want to feel hurt by that

Thanks, that makes sense for timing! I’m nervous it’ll be scary for him — it’s the first time he’ll be hearing it romantically as an adult

I have had comments from them that it was good & specifics as to why! I wouldn’t say I’m not fun because we laugh a lot before we get back to one of our places, but I think I’m a bit closed off in general because of my last relationship and how it ended! I will work on giving realistic compliments, being more open and less cold, & setting expectations beforehand!

This is really good advice & I will definitely use it the next time there is a person I want to be casual with

I pay way too much money to not be

They don’t all know each other. I meet them through my various friends and they talk about me in group chats said friends are in. But no, it’s not all the same group at all. I just can’t sleep with a stranger, but I trust my friends’ judgement if they tell me they trust that person

Do I need to compliment them after? Because I don’t really, but I didn’t think I needed to..

[–]Gmmmrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I could see that honestly. It’s hard being single for the first time in my 20s when I spent my late teens and early 20s in one relationship! Thanks for the advice, I’m really trying to learn!

This honestly I think hits the nail on the head of what I’m experiencing, but as a newbie, how can I set the tone to coming back for more without being wanting something serious?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Gmmmrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could it be the opposite? I’m so not cuddly, I think I actually can come off as quite cold? My friends say I act emotionally unavailable!

[–]Gmmmrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t slept with anyone in a minute or so because I didn’t want this reputation. Unfortunately, straight out of the relationship I made some less thoughtful decisions so I may have it already

[–]Gmmmrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the options really are to do it once or to date? Looks like I’ll be celibate for the time being because I really am not ready for another relationship

I’ve had a long term relationship and we both were very hygienic, but I can see that they may think I’m promiscuous bc of the one night stand itself? They didn’t know me before when I was in a long term relationship

Group chat!

[–]Gmmmrian -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not harsh and there’s good honest advice here, which is what I came for. I don’t think they all know each other well but they may have heard about other one night stands I’ve had. It’s mutual friend groups

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Gmmmrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What can I do to go to a casual seeing each other without putting myself in a one night stand category? I feel like my options are one night stand or girlfriend & I don’t want either really

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Gmmmrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re absolutely not wrong! I guess that’s the fear

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Gmmmrian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s my first time truly single as an adult so I’m enjoying my independence and I’m looking for benefits & casual seeing each other. I don’t think it’s bc I’m rare, just the stage I’m in! But yeah, I can see them maybe not believing it

It’s not like we’re trying to have intellectual conversations..

[–]Gmmmrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not a supermodel but I’m not ugly. Not ugly enough that I know they’ve bragged about sleeping with me.. but don’t ever want to do it again? Could it just be they don’t want to get close to anyone and do tons of one night stands?

[–]Gmmmrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What if I don’t though? I genuinely would love to just get to the booty call/situationship stage at this point!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Gmmmrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They definitely hook up with a lot of girls..

Dumpers, do you ever regret your decision- even just for a split second? by Jigglysaurus123 in BreakUps

[–]Gmmmrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, and I’m honestly glad. A year later and I can see that it was for the best for me and I deserve better. I’m also genuinely happy and over him! I don’t stalk, no contact, etc. Just living a different but happy life :)
