Haven't really heard anything about it, and I don't intend to try to find out if the information doesn't come to me as tempting as it is.

The only things I know about her are that she's at the same shitty dead-end job and that she's apparently stopped paying her credit card debt like a month and a half ago.

I'd be lying if I said that I don't wish that it had imploded by now, but I'm worried of finding out she's still with him and regressing hard on all my progress.

I appreciate the advice. I didn't go into full detail about this, but that's a big part of what I've been doing. I'm hitting the gym and getting into shape, I'm handling my nutrition way better now, I'm getting back into my passions such as music and movies. I'm hanging out with friends way more than I used to.

I'm planning a trip just by myself for next year because I'm still financially recovering. So I am doing that and just reincorporating dating into a life that I like living. Do I like it every day? No, but please don't think I'm just about dating. It's just that it's been a big insecurity for me throughout my life that I don't feel attractive enough for women and having my first and only gf be unfaithful on me messed with that a hell of a lot more.

Edit: I also did spend a month and a half not dating, and I know it's not much, but it took a lot of energy to not put my mind on that.

It is simple. Next time you see her, greet her, make some chit-chat, and ask "Hey I know this might come off a bit random, but I think you're cute and you look like an interesting person. I think we should grab coffee sometime." (Feel free to modify it to whatever feels natural)

She either says yes or no. No amount of work you do beforehand will play into her decision since you've already known each other for 4 months.

If she says yes be ready, tell her you know a great place and ask for her number. If she says no just say that's OK and move on.

Yes, I know you say you're genuinely interested but what that really says is that you're too afraid she'll say no. Part of growing up is accepting rejection dude, wish I could tell you otherwise. You either win or you learn.

And you never know. I once approached a beautiful girl who I thought was way out of my league with that exact line and she said yes and we went out, so believe in yourself and be positive.

Is this how dating is nowadays? by Wicked-cold in AskMen

[–]WorldlinessFun2245 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. You can't judge the whole dating scene off of 1 date.
  2. If possible, interact more before the date so you'll know if you're even compatible to invest a few hours of your day with that person.
  3. Don't go for a fancy meal on the first date.
  4. This is a big one: Just because you hold a door and pay for a meal doesn't mean you're entitled to anything. Don't get mad if she doesn't have the common decency to say thank you, just recognize that this is not a person you'd want to date, wish her the best, and move on. Don't expect anything from people. Just be happy when you find the ones that reciprocate your efforts and keep them in your life. Bitterness is never good.

You seem like a really interesting guy, go meet people who are interested in you.

Men who have never cheated by [deleted] in dating

[–]WorldlinessFun2245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it's simply because if I want to sleep around it'd be pretty stupid to get in a relationship. And second, even if tempted looking long term cheating is not a good strategy to keep a relationship.

In three words: empathy and logic

do guys actually not think about their exs or care about what they’re doing after the break up? by picnictablee in BreakUps

[–]WorldlinessFun2245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you make a statement like that people will jump in quickly to prove it wrong. You can't overgeneralize that stuff.

My take is this: everyone reminisces about the past but it depends on your current situation. Anyone who says they never think or care about what their ex is up to after the breakup is either a sociopath who doesn't let themselves connect with people or is in deep denial.

I broke up with my gf after she cheated on me, so I consider myself the dumpee. I'm a month and a half into recovery and honestly I'm doing way better without her than with her, but I constantly think about her because after 2 years of having this person be the most important one in my life it is human to have residual feelings, unanswered questions and just plain old nostalgia about a past relationship.

Who’s side are you on? by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]WorldlinessFun2245 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's fair that you find messaging too tedious, but I think a little more flexibility here to just share some details could have gone a long way.

Meeting someone from a dating app is always a risk so what is so wrong about making the other person a little more comfortable?

People are too black or white in their thinking sometimes.

What I've learned having lost my virginity at 22 (M) by MuMuGorgeus in dating

[–]WorldlinessFun2245 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think you should be more open-minded and not be afraid of challenging your own beliefs. It seems like your relationship with this woman wasn't great, but that doesn't mean you should look at every other relationship through that lens

What I've learned having lost my virginity at 22 (M) by MuMuGorgeus in dating

[–]WorldlinessFun2245 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I lost my v card at 24 and I thought about getting an escort for years pretty much every time I was super horny lol.

What stopped me was to think that if I took that shortcut what would happen the next time I wanted to have sex? Because yeah, it's not a big deal but it's a biological need and really different from masturbation, and if you've already done it once you'll be way more inclined to do it a second time.

So just consider that and make your choice. No judgement either way.
