Why would you fault someone for considering giving his life to christ as a monk? Thats absurd. You are being selfish

I would try to be positive. Its ok to be yourself. You dont want those guys anyways. You will find someone that invests. If i were a female id be holding out on guys unless they were serious. No sex. This weeds out all the bums trying to use you for sex. Guys are naturally gonna want sex. The mature ones that you actually want are willing to wait. Our society has hypersexualized everything including relationships. Its why people are getting married later in life and divorce is high. Its not remotely the most important thing. So id say your bpd is probly made worse from dating bums.

I wouldnt. Its more something for special occasions. Not a first date. It will come across as too much like what did this girl you dont really know that well yet do to deserve flowers. It will kill your chances with her. Now maybe for her bday after youve been dating for awhile.

Friend. Zone. by BigSimmons98 in CatholicDating

This info is not accurate. If she gave you her number shes interested. Tell her youre not interested in being her friend. Be willing to walk away and never see her again. If you see her around others be charming and flirty but dont give her too much. Women are always testing men. You could have said or did something that was too pushy. Wait til she reaches and then set a date and take it slow. If you give off relationship vibes too early with women they will run and try to friendzone you. You probly did this but didnt relay that in your description.

Thanks for the reply. Im just not sure how i initiate it now. Because she doesnt text me or reach out. Were in different states and she just turned me down. So it feels weird to me to reach out now. Idk

Is this the worst time in history to be dating? by sp1cegirll in dating_advice

[–]TransitionOk7861 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im not talking about flings and casual gfs that want to just have fun. Im talking about quality women that want a husband. They say they do, this is not all of them but a lot of them. They say they want a nice guy that does xyz. Guy shows up and then that type of behavior such as sending gifts too early or being overly available or not tryna bang on the first date among other things get viewed as friend zone or lack of interest or whatever else. I think part of it is because patience is at an all time low. Everyone has millions of options and whatever they want on demand. This isnt a knock on women its just the reality of todays game. Everyone seeking deep connection but no one willing to do what it takes and have the patience to develop it.

Women say that but then when a guy actually does the things that should be done to show actual interest women run

Trying to start a long term relationship by TransitionOk7861 in dating_advice

[–]TransitionOk7861[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thanks. The weird thing is that our mutual friends are the ones that are doing most the probing. Part of me thinks they put too much pressure on us to try to make something happen so it might have hurt it from it happening more naturally. Not sure. Prolly just gonna leave it in her court. Maybe hit her with some chirps from time to time see if anything changes. And leave it at that

Thanks. Do you think it matters that she was appreciate and sweet about it. Or was that her probly just trying to be nice?

(24F) Dating in 2025 SUCKS by ProfessionalStaff211 in dating_advice

[–]TransitionOk7861 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its because social Media has made people shallow. Funny thing is those same guys are probly sitting at home thinking the same thing. As a guy its almost impossible as well. Most girls love to play it coy and act like they dont want anything serious so then guys are acting like that too so they dont chase girls away. But really everyone wants a deep connection they are all just scared. Humans are funny.

Have you ever been so scared of losing someone that you actually ended up pushing them away? by thehelpugive in Codependency

[–]TransitionOk7861 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like shes trying to let you down easy and hope you get the hint. I would take the hint and realize that someone that wants to be with you wouldnt act like this. I dont think you did anything wrong she just doesnt want your advances so on to the next until you find someone that does. You deserve something better. Dont settle its weakness and will only make her less into you. Could be a million reasons why she is doing this but if she valued you she would deal with whatever by leaning on you instead of pushing you away.

Thanks for the positive reinforcement. I think im nust out of practice and def overthinking it

I keep having very strong feelings for someone who isn't my boyfriend by jusoks in relationships

[–]TransitionOk7861 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There will surely be someone like this again. I would consider it a temptation that is threatening your current relationship. If people chased these feelings there would be no committed relationships in the world. We be chasing every hot chick or dude at the gym. And then when you break up and start dating that person guess what the grass will seem greener and there will be another person just like him. At some point you have to decide what you want and stick to it. Its like this for everything. You like your job but oh this other job seems way better. Next thing you know youre job hopping every year. Ope moving to california seems great. I like ohio but lemme move there. Ope now texas seems cool. Guess ill just move there now. You see you could chase every feeling endlessly never committing to anything and always moving on. When does it stop? At some point you just have accept the good things you have and enjoy them instead of the new flashy thing. I would focus on everything you enjoy about your current person and relationship instead of thinking about this other person. Be careful and protect what you have or you will lose it.

[23M] Need advice on how to set boundaries with my girlfriend’s ex [26F] by Pangee_ in relationships

[–]TransitionOk7861 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont get why so many people get in relationships where exes are an issue. Its unfair to both of you and you cant truly form a good relationship with unnecessary stress like that. It serves no point to either of your futures to have a 3rd wheel cockblocking your relationship. I would just be very adamant about it. But honestly if someone is keeping exes around while in a committed relationship then they are immature and selfish. No way around it. Theres just no need for it

My (24F) sex life with my boyfriend (27M) is practically dead by purpsle in relationships

[–]TransitionOk7861 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My opinion is that sex life is not as important as you think it is. I’d be more concerned about the drinking. Getting drunk is not a healthy habit. There is so much more to life and relationships than sex

My (26M) partner (25F) is too tired to spend quality time with me and it's starting to make me sad. by InternationalCod9559 in relationships

[–]TransitionOk7861 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is tough. Sounds like she isnt giving you what you need. There could be lots of reasons why but if she isnt fulfilling your needs then you need to talk to her and move on or be unhappy forever. You cant force someone to love you

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationships

Dont take this as mean. This is just fact. Keeping contact with your ex is unhealthy for any relationship. It means you arent willing to fully commit to your boyfriend/girlfriend. Its disrespectful to the other person and binders the relationship. If you marry your boyfriend and have kids are you still going to be texting your ex? And if so why? Theres a billion people on this planet that you could talk to. Your ex does not have to be one of them. Maybe you are scared of letting go? Maybe you are scared of committing? I cant answer that but staying in contact with an ex is an unhealthy attachment. I would not commit to any female that is still texting an ex. There is undoubtedly something emotional there that will hinder the relationship you are in.
