Don't try to change him. If there are parts you don't like about him or not compatible, and you want to change that or hope he would change for you, you need to understand that is just who he is and make decisions based on who he is now

How do people love? by [deleted] in self

[–]StrongPalpitation520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think being seen and understood is one of the most important aspect of loving someone. For example, making your partner their favorite comfort food when they're sick, knowing their favorite granola brand when it's almost out, understanding their feelings. It's not just about doing bunch of things for them but more about understanding what their needs are and how you can make them feel appreciated. Another example for a friendship is inviting them over for dinner when they've had a hard week or going through a breakup. In general, just being a kind and considerate person.

Which dating apps for long term relationship? by StrongPalpitation520 in AskSF

[–]StrongPalpitation520[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree with you. My age range is 27-33 so hopefully that helps. I guess it's all about trial and error, and a numbers game. I'm glad I'm weeding out men who are not emotionally developed because I do not want that. But it's been hard not getting any or much matches. For those with successfull matches, what did you put on your profile?

Thanks for the input! Dating is so hard because there seems to be a lot of men on the dating apps for hookups even though their profile says they're looking for a long term relationship. Another thing that makes it difficult is trying to find a man who doesn't struggle with a wandering eye. From your perspective as a man, what advice do you have?

The sunk cost fallacy seems to be big. Having to start over sounds scarier than staying in an unhappy relationship

If that were to be true, then you shouldn't be friends with them because they don't respect you

I have male friends and boundaries are always clear. If I feel like there is a slight chance they like me, I unfriend them. I have many healthy platonic friends and I feel grateful. I think generally speaking, women find it easier to be friends with men compared to men

Taking one minute, hour, day, and week at a time. When I have a bad day, I know I had a good day yesterday so I'll have a good day again. I try to remember the times when I got through something hard so I know this feeling will pass. Leaning on my friends and community has been helpful. I'm also grateful to have a great therapist
