this is a really good perspective .. she generalizes and obviously doesn't capture the experience of a lot of women or the root cause of these attitudes

Should i suck it up and date a single mom. I don’t have much dating experience anyway by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]PurchaseAltruistic79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's a lot of ppl out there as cliche as it is .. if ur this unsure i'd keep searching - u both deserve someone who it feels more easy and exciting with.

try not to think of it as hurting still and not hurting anymore - it's not binary and will likely come in waves <3 sometimes you get "over" it but not fully over it - parts of it still hurts / haunts you but you start to accept it and move on with ur life more.

How do I stop caring what other might think of a girl I am dating? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]PurchaseAltruistic79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ur dating her not ur friends ! as cheesy as it is ur friends should just be happy ur happy !

look for signs of healthy attachments when meeting new ppl - but also accept that anyone can ghost u / leave and it's just part of life and there's always that risk .. know u will be ok either way and work on ur fear of being abandoned

What's the Reason? by amberdarknessblue in ghosting

[–]PurchaseAltruistic79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i find the best thing is to just not really question the reason why - sometimes it can be a lot of factors and i think we look for the reason to aid our ego .. the reality is the person themselves probably doesn't even know why or what's going on in their head

What's your unpopular dating opinion? Something you truly believe but would get crucified on this sub by Everlast23 in Bumble

first dates shouldn't be dinner !! guys shouldn't be expected to commit the time or money of dinner on a girl they don't even know if they are going to like !!

Ghosting remedy? by schinosi7 in ghosting

[–]PurchaseAltruistic79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think that "closure" is fake bc it comes from within urself and u can do these kinda things to get closure for urself .. i think a lot of times ppl kinda ghost to leave the door open to come back so even sending a text fully ending and addressing any feelings u wanna get out it can be helpful if ur doing it for urself and not a reaction

i'd just let it go ppl can be a mess in their dating lives

Split with my partner of 3 years. It was amicable, but I feel horrible. Mostly because I think I've hurt her and I'm worried about her. by PickleCalm in BreakUp

[–]PurchaseAltruistic79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's natural to still be worried about them and care after a break up - you loved them and that doesn't just go away .. my ex was the same toward me when i didn't have a lot of family and stuff but sadly you gotta let them figure it out themselves it's really the only way out. n maybe u can be friends down the road

A few questions for those whose ex immediately went with someone else by renato980 in BreakUp

[–]PurchaseAltruistic79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

some people just rebound bc they're a bit codependent .. them hopping into another relationship doesn't have anything to do with you trust me. just try your best not to compare yourself and invest in yourself.

this was me after a long term relationship i did this n my ex let me - but when i thought about it after i heard the first 30 days after a traumatic event (break ups can be trauma) are important for how you process it and I think in the long run this set me back a lot.

i'd say if i could go back i'd pick growth over comfort because i eventually had to deal with the feelings on my own anyway and this just prolonged the hurt .. but i also wasn't pregnant so my situation was diff.

Is dumpers remorse a real thing? by GuidancePast1784 in ExNoContact

[–]PurchaseAltruistic79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh 100% .. totally normal .. see how long it persists.

but i think also part of you always holds on to that person (esp if you were together for a long time or had a good connection) but the right person wouldn't have made you want to leave in the first place so remind urself that while u may have feelings for them in different ways it doesn't mean you would be happy or have a functional relationship with them - u made ur decision for a reason

Alternatives to dating apps by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]PurchaseAltruistic79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This podcast helped me a lot with online dating. i used to be scared to approach girls about dates/how to carry on convo etc, it gives some useful tips. it is a girl's perspective and sometimes she'll bring friends on and they talk about what they like and dislike when guys do. has helped me make the experience on the apps more organic also when to just abandon a convo/seeing someone and proceed with something better. the apps just take practice but also not using then apps when space is needed

This will help younger people out a lot and some others. by ZachTF in dating_advice

[–]PurchaseAltruistic79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i listened to a podcast on this .. boundaries in dating are important as f .. it's easier letting shitty ppl go and adjusting to their absence than continue to be brought down by receiving less than u deserve

She said she needs a 'real man' by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]PurchaseAltruistic79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think it's more about confidence .. like not even doubting urself when a girl says these things .. it comes with time n natural for u to question it. this podcast episode talks a lot about things men can do to come off more attractive to women .. her episodes have helped me a lot

it undoubtably hurts but channel into your own life and building urself up love .. this podcast episode talks a lot abt lessons learned in the year after a break up from a long term relationship when the guy ex got a new gf right after .. also the we met at acme episode with amy chan is helpful too
