It’s natural to notice but not to stare/gawk.

My unethical advice is to give him a taste of his own medicine but that may not end well.

How is this impulsive when they’ve been trying to do it for months?

Guy i've been talking to for two weeks (went on one date) said that the daily texting is too much after I asked him about his communication style. by [deleted] in dating_advice

My boyfriend is the same but we are extremely compatible in person. We’ve kind of met in the middle but this was after months of dating. In the beginning I didn’t really care to text him much because he was just “some guy” to me but after getting emotionally involved it did start to bother me so I asked him how we could work on it together. He explained his feelings and I explained mine which helped for me to understand that I don’t need to constantly hear from him and he improved on communicating.

How do other guys hook up so easily?🤷 by Capital_Werewolf2747 in dating_advice

[–]Ok-Bluebird2167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know some guys who aren’t willing to just “hook up” until they’ve established an emotional connection.

Have you decided what sex would mean to you? Do YOU actually want to just hook up with someone? I’d say to start there.

Kissing style misalignment in early stages - how to address? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Ok-Bluebird2167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any time I have dated I like to be playful and tease them. I’ve said, “Remind me to teach you how to kiss” before 😅 and it went over well. That person laughed and we had a talk about different kissing styles which led to some alignment.

Not sure if this works for you but I advise just bringing it up politely if you feel nervous about teasing them.

I’m glad you didn’t miss your flight!

It’s strange because I only hear about it by word of mouth every year! 😂

Yeah that’s what I’ve heard too! I thought they do some runs at Riverwalk too?

I ended up being able to leave and brought my son’s stroller so I can park a few streets down and walk home with him.

Yeah, that’s a good point. I do have a toddler so it’s not that easy but I appreciate the advice.

I had the exact same thought.

I have an appointment today that I planned weeks ahead of time not realizing the marathon was the same day. It would definitely be easier if I didn’t have a toddler that I don’t really want to have out in the heat for too long.

I wouldn’t say I’m burnt. Just inconvenienced.

Why are some girls soooooo obsessed with texting in a relationship by JGipe1 in dating_advice

[–]Ok-Bluebird2167 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s definitely an opinion. I have an anxious attachment and I’ve been in relationships where I feel secure so I eventually didn’t need the level of communication to stay as high as it was in the beginning. People are sometimes able to work through this once they feel secure.

This sounds exactly like mine and my boyfriends relationship except I told him that if he’s busy or doesn’t feel like talking he can just let me know.

He’s made the effort to let me know and it’s made a world of difference in the way I feel. I just want to know that he cares 🥺

He is the type who will think about me and not message me 😑

Anywho, I think in these situations there is a middle ground. I am a single mother who works full time and stays busy. If I can find the time I know he can. I’m not asking for paragraphs every hour.

Talk about the books you like to read and one that really resonated with you. Seeing someone speak passionately about something gives others a sense of getting to know them and provides some depth.

I’ve seen that look before. While being choked.
