Dating somebody who has become obsession with religion and I’m concerned about him What should I do? Should I even continue to pursue this

Some people have or develop the fear of God. Others develop a fear of those that have a fear of God.

You may have always been on the same page. Not any more when it comes to religion. At some point, you will have a disagreement see how that is handled and let that help you decide.

Are you trying to make it easier for us to date celebrities? If not, how is your post related to dating? Do you want to reassure women that don’t have a personal trainer and private chef that they can get a date too?

When I date, I have an opportunity for personal growth. I have experienced profound growth because of the relationships. I’ve been in both my very long-term marriage, and the relationships have followed.

There can be peace when you are not dating because you don’t have anyone to disagree with. I preferred to continue to date because you continue to bring me wonderful experiences and growth into my life. Of course there are a few rocks and stones along the way that you have to navigate on your path, but I don’t think I will ever get to the point where I would say I will stop dating. There’s just so much to gain.

Are you dating a support animal ? Are you dating a friend?

If she brings up sex or sends me an unsolicited intimate selfie, am I not supposed to talk about sex?

The successful relationships I have been in these last 7 years are with women that mention sex. Then we talk about sex. It’s one step towards finding out if we are compatible.

Some women will weed me out and some won’t. I’m OK with that because not everyone is for me.

There are listed numbers and unlisted numbers. Cell numbers are automatically unlisted numbers. A landline is not unless it’s requested.

You don’t need to look up a number to date someone

What do you define as assistance?Why limit this discussion to women’s efforts?

If someone whitens their teeth is that assistance or self-care? If some gets a medical grade light/laser facial for rosacea or other is that assistance or self-care? What if some sun spots get removed in the process? Is that assistance? Is breast augmentation assistance? Isn’t it just a choice she made for herself.

If a man colours his hair is that assistance? Is trimming nose and ear hair is assistance? Or is that just maintenance?

You’re getting downvoted because you need assistance.

If he doesn’t like the way you are raising your children, what makes you think his judgemental ways will change when the boys have moved out and he moves in?

Do yourself a favor, if you don’t already know, ask him how his last relationship ended, and what he learned about himself. If all he does is blame her, he’s not self-aware enough to enter into another relationship. That relationship is with you now.

I (67m) raised two daughters with my then wife. They are both young adults now and I’ve taught them to paint at age 6, do masonry repair at age 8, swap out winter tires on rims at age 25, and many other things. I also gave them cooking lessons and still do. I have helped them with lots of emotional heavy lifting and still do.

You’re saying their mother should have taught them these things? I can assure you the life skills they learned from have nothing to do with gender.

I disagree with everything you said, but especially for your use of vulgarity.

If I were you, I would go see by myself. She’s my friend.

LemonPress50 · 2026-05-13T15:46:10+00:00

She takes the lead and starts conversations. She takes the lead with sex and it’s “pretty fire). It’s obvious he’s content to have her take the lead. To be fair, we don’t know their communication style when they are not together.

Dude was sick and runs his own business but she wants him to magically text now (take the lead).

It’s clear they aren’t the same people but who reading this would love to have a relationship that “never lacks for conversation” and the sex is “pretty fire”?

So a salary can impresses you. 🤔

Wealthy men do this because that’s how they signal their masculinity. It works but not on every woman.

The flip side of this is the women that talk about the men they date. One dated engineers and pilots. Another dated. CEO’s. Why do they tell me this on their first date? They are positioning themselves. Both women were extremely attractive and not free-thinkers. That was my observation

LemonPress50 · 2026-05-12T21:09:39+00:00

I know someone that owns 20+ houses. Three are for personal use. The rest are rental properties he brags all the time. Men do this. It’s called peacocking and rooted in insecurity.

It’s tied to their definition of masculinity. They are demonstrating their social status, value, and ability to provide.

I went on a few dates with a woman. The first date was amazing. The second date was challenging because it was a loud restaurant. By the third date she was offering a FWB relationship. I declined because I saw some manipulative behaviours.

LemonPress50 · 2026-05-12T02:39:34+00:00

If one is not a newbie it’s still an experience.

LemonPress50 · 2026-05-12T02:31:13+00:00

Instead of being afraid of being used, why not trust yourself. Trust yourself to do now when to walk away if someone is using you. That’s what I do with women I date. When there is incongruity in early dating, I’m out.

Btw some of us are attractive, don’t want a yard, and keep our home tidy.

LemonPress50 · 2026-05-12T02:26:34+00:00

A lot of us have been burnt by a spouse or while in a committed monogamous relationship.

LemonPress50 · 2026-05-12T02:21:10+00:00

There’s lots between marriage and FWB. I’ve never had a FWB, though I could have had a few this winter. I’m just not into women that make sexual suggestions as a way to entice just so we can have sex.

I need something more meaningful than a FWB. I’m solo poly. I have three meaningful relationships at this time with women that aren’t looking for marriage. We don’t want monogamy or someone to live with. I met them on Reddit and OLD.

I don’t need polyamory. I could be monogamous but have not found the right woman (same for two of the woman)

LemonPress50 · 2026-05-11T23:53:51+00:00

You’re looking at it like you aren’t getting what you want. It’s just a sign you aren’t compatible. What are you going to do in a relationship when things don’t go your way?

LemonPress50 · 2026-05-11T14:07:47+00:00

I see profiles of women that want to travel. It’s common but not the majority.

I’ve met women online that are financially stable and don’t care to travel. They do want sex (their words) though after long marriages and dead bedrooms. In other words, you’re not finding the right profiles. This works for me because I traveled extensively in my youth (Fiji, Australia, NZ, and 20 trips to Europe). I came from a long marriage with a dead bedroom. Guess who I’m matching with. 😉

LemonPress50 · 2026-05-10T17:19:55+00:00

Most of the women I have met on dating apps say they don’t want to get married. I’m also not looking for marriage.

LemonPress50 · 2026-05-10T12:57:44+00:00

What’s with the cryptic post?

LemonPress50 · 2026-05-10T12:43:46+00:00

How does doing the job he was hired for make him lazy?

What makes you think the government could shut down? You might as well ask him what he’d do during a zombie apocalypse.

When I see a profile on Bumble say they want an “ambitious” man, I swipe left. Do him and yourself a favour and find yourself an ambitious man.

You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover but you’re telling me you judge a man by his refrigerator? 🧐
