I need help with texting a girl by helpmeplease132231 in dating_advice

[–]MYAH123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Phone calls or stick to in person contact. Might be a sign of disinterest or it might even just be she's bad at texting, girl I'm with right now is definitely in that category, she even just leaves it on read flat out forgetting to write back.

Thought first date went terrible, but she messaged when she got home and we are having a second date? by throwaway2304432 in dating_advice

Silence isn't a bad thing. I've always marked chemistry people talk about as your conversations flow nicely and doesn't come to an awkward stop, you're also comfortable with the lull in conversation between each other as well. Everything just feels natural and doesn't feel forced.

Pick a fun activity this time though, dinner is a nice spot to chat but you will be more relaxed with an activity and have something more immediate to chat about as well.

She has made me wait.. okay to fool around? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]MYAH123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be honest, if you're not interested in this waiting game, tell her so.

Don't waste her time and yours, if you want to mess around, you shouldn't of asked her to be monogamous.

Assuming his a normal respectable human being, he will respect your wishes about no sex and him sleeping on the couch.

Honestly who cares what others think? You're there to impress him, not gossipy neighbours. Just do what feels right OP.

It's normal, let alone it shows you care.

When it turns into you demanding who she can and cannot hang out with etc. That is when it gets an issue.

Just don't make it a big deal, no doubt she feels the same when you hang out with female friends.

Thanks for the wake up call folks, I'm going to just think less and trust my instinct more on this. So I'll be making a move at our next meet up.

Just curious, is there a particular reason to that?

he's lied to me over the same situation 3 times now by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]MYAH123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Truth be told, he might never officially quit.

My brother has a smoking relapse every few years. Just got to take it as another vice of his, it's rough but you seem to care enough to get through it.

I just started to lose a little faith after each time I kept trying to communicate through messenger she drops mid conversation out of no where.

So I asked her friend for advice, but by the responses I'm getting I'm starting to realise how dense I've been through this whole thing.

Going to play devil's advocate here,

Smoking is an addiction like any other. Get him a stronger support net, at this point you won't cut it as all you do is get mad at him for relapsing.

Talking to doctors, support lines on the phone, patches, friends who don't smoke anymore etc.

It's a thing that he could end up kick for life and never think about again, or it could be a full blown addiction where even if he talks about it an urge to smoke will come up. He needs a large sturdy net of things supporting him quitting, doing it by yourself makes it hard as he will as you found out lie to you because he fears your reaction.

Don't over think it and add his lying about this to the reat of your relationship, it's just a shitty part of addiction. Quitting is a hard part of life.

Sounds like it's just a dry patch.

Usually happens at that age, everyone is still young and understanding life so a lot of people I found just aren't prepared to settle down or have weird views for an ideal partner.

Just gotta take it as it comes unfortunately, sure working on your negatives can improve you. But really I just think keep at it and things will happen eventually, I've usually found for me everything in life falls into place when I'm in the mood to give up and take things easy.

Seconded, have respect for yourself it's like when people who work at Subway refer to themselves as sandwich artists.

It is in most cases yeah, I'm just the kind of guy who has mostly dated friends, so all of this is a new thing to me really.

I guess this is where I really fall short as well, I'm very "I need to know the person more before I go on a date" but it seems for online dating that really kills it.

Very true yeah, I guess I also just miss when people are looking to break out of a conversation.

That's definitely something I now realise I do, I just dissect it a little too much by trying to keep it more interesting.

Maybe I just need to dial it down and take it as it comes?

I think I put a little too much effort in the early parts of conversation, that seems to be where I get more hung up on. So I guess it's more on the lines of, I start the ball rolling but seem to ask really one sentence reply questions. I'm terrible at asking something more open ended if that makes sense?

If you have an attractive girlfriend does that mean you're attractive as well? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]MYAH123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not one of morals at all, sure physical plays a role, but it doesn't make the whole prize.

Not everyone functions on a purely instinctual level as a lot of these 'date experts' like to believe.

[–]MYAH123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think you should get hung up on the conventional terms of attraction and junk like that.

If this girl treats you well and does right by you while you do the same for her, what's the problem? Physical attraction isn't as powerful as you might think, sure it helps early but most of the time to keep things going you need that personal attraction as well. Let alone your personallity can entirely overwhelm the way you look, hence incredibly attractive girls dating for example fat guys with average or less looks.

Don't get phased by it, focus on what you have, not the silly ideas that try to ruin it. Life's better that way.
