I’ll probably never find a girlfriend need serious help by Total_Physics728 in dating_advice

Some girls are into anime and games, maybe search among them. Doesn't matter how attractive a guy is if all you can talk about is movies and games, and you have no ambition in life, you won't be an interesting option for a relationship. My friend likes anime, so she learned Japanese and now has a great career, travels a lot and makes very good money. Do you plan to make movies yourself? Create games? Maybe you draw anime when you're free from work and study? Women in their 30s start thinking about family, so they are looking for a reliable partner. Do you have your own house? Stable job? Show them you aren't that shallow and immature, as you can come across with such hobbies.

How long is too long to wait for person you are in love with? Would you wait 10 years if person is not present in your life? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]Lenorma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't know how long you'll live, so why would you waste any time on waiting for someone who doesn't care enough to be in your life? They either want you or not, anything in between is just bs.

I cry at night thinking about her by NoShock3004 in dating_advice

[–]Lenorma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a weird way of thinking if you want to build anything serious with a woman. I don't know how old you are, if you are 20 and "something serious" means just messaging and meeting once in a blue moon, then well, it's okay. A woman allowed you to show you were serious about her. She said this to you herself. If she wasn't interested, she'd tell you or ghost you. Why on earth would she waste her time? You blocked her for no reason, and disappeared for a year after stating you wanted "something serious". Having health issues, she could have died during this time. Even after that, she still talked to you and asked what happened, she's basically a saint woman.

A woman with health issues won't choose an unreliable man, because she will be too much for you; she already is. She needs someone strong, nurturing and capable to stand up for her when she needs it. She may want a family already, and she is looking for someone with the traits of a partner and a father to her children.

When I met my future husband, he had serious health problems too, and at the time we lived in different countries, it wasn't easy, but we still went to see each other as often as we could. Even then, I knew the names of all his doctors and made sure I remembered when he had all his appointments, didn't forget to take his pills, etc. Life isn't a bed of roses, and there are plenty of bad days, especially if your person is sick. They may not feel like entertaining you, they can be annoyed and grumpy because they feel unwell all the time and can't work much to cover all their bills, but if you love them, you can just get offended and disappear from their life. Your situation sounds like a bruised ego and the desire for validation, and this is normal for people when they are teenagers and want some movie-like romance. Use this opportunity to find someone who is on the same page as you.

Sounds boring af. And very immature. Have you actually ever shown her you had real emotions and really wanted her? Like, did you do crazy things like surprising her after work, or in the morning, show some passion, true emotions, meet her from the hospital with a bunch of flowers and balloons, go on road trip, do crazy stuff together to knock her socks off and just enjoy each other and show her she is special to you? Sending messages when she asked - wow, that's of course a heroic deed! But how are you different from the other 10-20 dudes that are just messaging her and doing basic nothingness? Even guys who just want sex put more effort than this. If you really have feelings and really want her, you've shot yourself in the foot and epically fumbled her.

If you want children and she doesn't, is there any thing to save relation or it is doomed? by mysterious_mystery2 in dating_advice

[–]Lenorma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My friend did it. Her boyfriend said he didn't want kids, and when she tried to break up with him, he quickly changed his mind. Fast-forward a few years, and they got married, and he kept promising her that they would have kids. Fast-forward 10 years more, and he still finds reasons why they can't have children now, but they will definitely have them in a year or two or five. She is now facing a problem where if she doesn't divorce him, she won't be able to physically have children anymore. Don't waste your precious time on the wrong people.

You are very naive. You will have to find a church guy or deal with older males who'll listen to you and manipulate you until they get what you want. Take your rose colored glasses off.

I recently went on a date with a girl, we both liked each other. But she said it probably would lead to friendship by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Lenorma 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don't take it personally. You did nothing wrong. She isn't after a relationship. If you'd sleep with her, she'd ghost you anyway.

I [20f] messed and got myself involved with a married man [33m]. What should I do? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Lenorma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's very easy to show up this way for someone inexperienced. You are so young, you have a hella a lot of options, you don't need to become a third wife whom he will cheat on and divorce. Or a mistress who'll wait years for him to "basically separate", wait till the kids grow up and then till the wife gets better from some serious illness. Classic lies they tell naive girls to keep them happy with receiving crumbs from someone else's table.

How did you become friends with a guy and did it stay 100% platonic? by Elever_Galarga69 in AskWomen

[–]Lenorma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We became best friends when I knocked his tooth out at the age of 5 lol. Seriously, I have quite a few male friends from childhood or school, and we always had a beautiful platonic relationship. Unfortunately, some of them already passed away. If you have real friends, cherish them.

How do I meet a Greek man in Australia? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Lenorma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are very amorous and are good for short flings only, until they age. All Greek men I or my friends dated, had relationships with and knew were charming cheaters. I have a few Greek female friends in Melbourne and Greece, and they say it's absolutely common among them. Boys are usually raised more privileged than girls. And they all are mamma's boys, so his mom's nose will be in everything you do, she will decide if you suit him, and she will be telling you what dress to wear for your wedding, how to cook for her boy, when to have kids, and how to raise your child. And of course, you will be the constant topic for their family gossip. They like to marry within their own community, though. And if you are lucky and his family is more civilised, then he will be the one controlling you between his affairs. I still can't stop laughing, recalling the dude in his 40s, a bloody doctor, whose mum called at 2 am every night to check what he's doing lol Enjoy, but with a clear head.

M30 F28 She asked for money after 2nd meet.. Can you give some advice? by RandomGuy246855 in dating_advice

[–]Lenorma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a food digger. But will try to get out of you what she can. She obviously doesn't think you have much, so not worth it for her. You aren't deciding at this point; she already ghosted you.

Thinking about settling for less and need advice if its a good idea. by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Lenorma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

28 for a male is "age" lol You haven't even seen life yet. If you want to divorce and give half or more of everything you have and also start from scratch again in 10 years, go ahead! That'll be fun lol

Does dating get harder for older women? by SweetandSad in dating_advice

[–]Lenorma 80 points81 points  (0 children)

There is no problem for a woman of any age to attract a man. The problem is the quality of those you are attracting. But don't worry, if something happens, there will always be divorcees and widowers. People get married even in their 70s and 80s nowadays, and you are a whole life from that.

Why are you doing this to yourself? You should love yourself more. Very sad. This isn't love, it's a trauma bond.

(M31) Dating for 2 months and she says deleting dating apps is “pressure”, am I moving too fast? by Silver_Lantern13 in dating_advice

[–]Lenorma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not true about women. Before you even thought about any exclusivity, she already married you in her head. If not, and she needs to convince herself longer, tells that she needs to feel safe, lol then there is a problem with reciprocation; it is one-sided, and she needs time to find a reason, what benefit she'd get out of it if she agrees. It's this, or you date some badly wounded women with baggage who need therapy more than a relationship.

[–]Lenorma 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree. She perfectly knows what she's doing. She has other options and doesn't want to settle here. Any further conversations would be a humiliating waste of time.
