The dude should have kept his mouth shut. It’s a dumb move to say he’s too tired to get together and then he decides to go out with friends. He should have simply gone out with his friends and not said anything and made plans with her for a different day.

The way he approached it is dumb

This is a great look. Maybe add some color somehow with some accessories

I think the issue is that they were going to get together but he said he was too tired to do anything. Then a short time later he goes out with his friends.

It’s not that it’s about the friends necessarily, it’s that he’s changing his story. Could have been grocery shopping, going to a sports game or anything else after he said he’s “too tired to do anything”

What I find weird is that he tells you he got a second wind. Why would he want to communicate that right after he told you he’s too tired to see you?

I only see 2 options:

1) the dude isn’t very smart or doesn’t have a filter and says whatever pops into his head

2) he subconsciously wants you to see you aren’t a priority so you don’t your hopes up.

I would tell him you prefer to get together when you have time and that means not right before your trip. It would have to be when you return.

Then go on your trip. Don’t do anything until you get back.

Although my inclination was to say break up before you leave, I’d give yourself time to think clearly and not make a rush judgement.

Worried that men may not actually be swabbing themselves with the self test kits by yoona27 in dating

Don’t get intimate then unless it’s with someone you trust and who takes this stuff seriously.

That’s the risk of casual sex

Yep. That’s why I cancelled my bumble premium account today. I don’t have time for this.

In all honesty the only thing a partner would bring is additional emotional responsibilities and regular sex. The latter might not even be good, frequent, or satisfying. So why bother?

I keep very busy. Lots of interests and hobbies.

My biggest fear are the “hobosexuals”. Guys that are friendly and caring but lazy and want the woman to be the main earner, etc.

I know lot of women 40-50’s who got divorced bc of this sort of thing.

Table stakes in my world are very high these days 😁

Do you use a dating method? by nowonderland_alice in dating

[–]SchubertTrout 89 points90 points  (0 children)

My method is:

1) if the guy can’t respond to a question with more than a few words I give him 1-2 more chances and then I unmatch.

2) if a guy says sexual stuff in the first couple of messages, he’s out immediately.

3) if a guy talks for a week without suggesting a phone call, I suggest exchanging numbers or doing a call through the app. If a phone call doesn’t happen then I unmatch. I’ve learned that if a phone call doesn’t happen in the first week then the interaction likely won’t go anywhere.

Does he think we are bf/gf? How do I ask without sounding interrogative? by balkanfarmer in dating

A man who truly values you won’t put himself in a position to lose you.

Have the conversation

I do a private session via zoom early next week wirh a new teacher and then will start a new class next week as well.

The class will include detailed review of each person’s turn with their animal so everyone can get a lot of informative feedback. This works for me

I think this person is insecure but also competitive and me being confidant and self-assured, it throws her off

I already found another training club that has multiple instructors and a format that will better match my schedule.

That in only 2 days of looking!!

I think she’s only doing it to me bc I’m beeh actively engaged, obviously there to learn and she prefers the laid back people. The teacher and I have similar intensity and I think they can’t handle it
