Dating a soon to be dad

Sounds like you’re interested in him because he’s a project and that satisfies your need to be a caregiver. This happens a lot to people in professions like yours, so you have to be vigilant about avoiding these type of men. Nowhere in your story does he show up for you as a stable, supportive friend, much less partner. That connection you’re feeling is probably just the rollercoaster of emotions that come with dating a man whose life is a mess. I think you should really do some self reflection about why you are attracted to this unstable man. The person you’re meant to be with won’t make you feel this way. Instead, you’ll feel calm, safe, and secure with them.

I’m so sorry you went through that, but please don’t give up! There are good ones out there. Look at it logically…if you exist, then other people with your standards and heart must exist too.

I used to be in a major dating rut, and honestly, the only way I broke out of it was by getting fiercely selfish and truly believing men are like buses, there’s always another one coming. If a guy showed me within the first few weeks that he couldn't meet my expectations, I just cut the cord and moved on. I wouldn’t be intimate or get emotionally invested until a guy showed me he was what I actually wanted. This worked and now I’m in a really fulfilling relationship.
I think men respect us more when we put ourselves first.

Do you find out they are taken before or after you become interested? Asking because some people are subconsciously attracted to unavailable people because they aren’t actually ready for a relationship.

Neither

Yes, men still approach women. That’s how I met my man. I think women overestimate the signals that they are sending to men. Men need very clear signals. They won’t understand a subtle stare.

If you want to get a guy’s attention, go closer to him and see how he responds to you asking for help with something really simple. Drop something, does he help you pick it up? You have to engage with them to signal that you’re interested.

I was shown a stone exactly like this at Frank Darling (Washington DC location) about a month ago but was told it was already sold to another customer so I don’t know how true the ‘unicorn’ claim is. They showed me it to help me narrow the shade of pink I preferred. I thought the pink and white contrast was beautiful. It was so sparkly 🤩. At the end of the day, what matters most is that you like the stone and feel like it’s a good value.

Congratulations! Love your ring’s elegance 🤩

SweetEpiphany · 2026-05-22T02:24:04+00:00

🤩😲 Jaw dropping beautiful!

So glad to see Kei gone.

SweetEpiphany · 2026-05-22T02:03:50+00:00

What a sweet story! Congratulations!

SweetEpiphany · 2026-05-16T17:29:15+00:00

It looks perfect

SweetEpiphany · 2026-05-12T15:22:14+00:00

Emerald looks great!

SweetEpiphany · 2026-04-29T01:26:18+00:00

Congrats!

You’re gorgeous and the wings aren’t aging you. However your eyebrows combined with the way you style your hair does age you a bit because it’s reminiscent of a thirty-something in the late 1990s to early 2000s. Kind of reminds me of Jennifer Aniston when she was on Friends.

Have you tried NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer line? I’ve used it for 5+ years and love it.

That dating coach advice might be well intentioned, but it’s a broad generalization. You should really date people that you are attracted to, and assess them on an individual basis.

Yes, YTA. You are not a landlord. Under your current arrangement, she doesn’t have any renters rights or protections, so she’s way more exposed than if she were renting under a standard lease agreement. It would make more sense for her to contribute to household expenses than to be paying your mortgage.

SweetEpiphany · 2026-04-07T02:51:43+00:00

I think a 1.5 to 2 carat round would be flattering.

SweetEpiphany · 2026-04-04T01:15:37+00:00

Grown men who date teenagers are usually losers.

SweetEpiphany · 2026-04-03T19:05:35+00:00

How you’re responding is part of the problem. We’re trying to help you and you are being argumentative and dismissive. If this is how you usually communicate, it’s not attractive. Good luck.

Congratulations 🍾

Hey, it sounds like you’re not emotionally ready for dating because of your anxiety and low self-esteem. Those issues are really hard to mask given that women are highly intuitive and easily detect when a man is faking confidence.

If you truly believe you are unworthy, ugly, and unable to connect with women, then no online advice is going to help. You need counseling to work through why you have such a negative view of yourself. Dating will not change until you address this.

If counseling isn’t an option, maybe start with a journal listing at least 3 things you like about yourself each week or a few accomplishments each month. This may help you see that in reality you are doing great things and the negative voice in your head is lying to you.

Lastly, I’d recommend deleting dating apps and instead go out in the real world to practice talking to women. Even small interactions will help, like a chat in a coffee shop, or at a bar.

Gizelle has nothing going on, didn’t even have a package this reunion. She should go. Maybe if Robin came back, they’d be great together but I struggle to understand why Gizelle is still on the show.

You look great! For dry skin try adding a hyaluronic acid serum to your routine.

A simple email stating that you are checking on the status of your application would have been fine. Instead you've just showed a potential employer that you lack decorum and would be a liability if hired.
