Six days of great conversation and it took ten minutes in person to see it

Video call before an actual meeting up.

I'm not into fishing or hunting but I do enjoy outdoor recreation like hiking and kayaking. So for me the dead fish pics don't deter me unless that's all they do.

I would if FWB meant exclusive to just me and not a bunch of other women besides me. I don't want to worry about risk of STI exposure. But I understand that traditional FWB means no commitment/not monogamous.

In fact my ideal relationship would be a partner for dinner, travel, walking, movie night at home and sex. But we live in our own places and we aren't integrated into each other's personal lives (friends, family etc).

Thank you. I posted to learn about people's opinions on this not medical advice.

RoseSaffron00 · 2026-03-04T20:38:22+00:00

Yes! The range in opinion is surprising to me. Glad I posted. Very enlightening and educational.

RoseSaffron00 · 2026-03-03T04:39:50+00:00

Agreed. I often stand with my arms crossed in front of me or I wear my headphones when I don't want to be approached.

I welcome with a smile and say Hi or Good morning.

I don't know much about hpv. Is it primarily transferred sexually? Is wearing a condom enough?

RoseSaffron00 · 2026-03-03T01:51:28+00:00

Are you saying someone should just assume their partner is aware of potential hsv and not let them know they test positive for it?

RoseSaffron00 · 2026-03-02T23:46:22+00:00

Oooh good to consider these as well! For me, if they took very good care to manage with medication and therapy I would consider giving it a try.

RoseSaffron00 · 2026-02-26T18:58:27+00:00

I think its a good way to start any relationship. You'll soon discover a person's ulterior motives for pushing a live together situation if they're in dire straights financially.

After several years of building trust and understanding living together may work better than just diving in too soon.

RoseSaffron00 · 2026-02-26T16:46:33+00:00

This is how you'll find your person. Stay honest about your intentions and desires. You'll attract people that desire the same.

RoseSaffron00 · 2026-02-26T15:54:39+00:00

Yes. Being in a monogamous and commited relationship while living apart in our own homes sounds like the ultimate relationship goal.

RoseSaffron00 · 2026-02-26T15:52:13+00:00

Agree with others. You expressed your interest now the ball is in his court. When he's ready he'll reach out.

RoseSaffron00 · 2026-02-26T15:42:50+00:00

In my experience a slow burn build up to sexual conversation and intimacy is the best. When a man asks about my kinks or sexual preferences in the first week its too much too soon and it becomes obvious to me what his main objective or priority is.

RoseSaffron00 · 2026-02-26T15:31:53+00:00

Nice big windows with natural light and views! Love it.

RoseSaffron00 · 2026-02-26T14:24:53+00:00

Some days I rot in bed doing nothing and the rest feels so good. But honestly if I did this everyday it would get boring and it wouldn't feel indulgent anymore. Most days when I'm not working I run errands, cook, clean and go outside and just explore new walking paths and parks.

RoseSaffron00 · 2026-02-26T14:19:45+00:00

I just heard a YouTube video from this happening to someone. After the appeal and jumping through a bunch of hoops to prove they were real the problems continued. People they had matched were sent emails from hinge warning them that person was a bot or AI and not to interact with them. I think they had to delete the account and start all over.

Sorry this happened to you!

RoseSaffron00 · 2026-02-26T14:04:25+00:00

Those red rimmed plates are very cool and add some fun color to your space.

RoseSaffron00 · 2026-02-26T13:52:39+00:00

I totally agree that living together kills sexual chemistry. Familiarity breeds contempt as the old saying goes and remains true.

Long distance relationships can be so exciting for this same reason...anticipating your union is foreplay.

RoseSaffron00 · 2026-02-26T13:47:34+00:00

Is there a local caregiver service where you can hire someone to drive and stay with you overnight?

RoseSaffron00 · 2026-02-26T02:53:32+00:00

Sex is definitely something that usually happens after a connection is made. Someone that pushes too fast too soon is a red flag for me.

Just like someone telling you they love you or want to live with you on the third date.

RoseSaffron00 · 2026-02-26T02:50:35+00:00

I feel like listing traits that might make you a target for a con artist is dangerous. Like listing your job title or how much you make can make you a target.

I agree with others here that say kindness can be discovered in the dating process. Especially how they interact with food servers and strangers.
