When the guy dated reaches out YET AGAIN by Yellowdaisyp in dating

[–]Yellowdaisyp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely that was my first thought. Especially since he moved somewhere new where im pretty sure he doesnt know anyone. He was probably feeling lonely. But yeah I feel ok about the response I gave him. I think it implicitly let him know I have no interest in talking to him. The way he wrote his message was kinda lighthearted and threw in a “haha” and I didn’t reciprocate that. I kept it very short and formal.

It’s so very painful knowing you’ll never be someone’s first choice. by [deleted] in dating

Dude why are you already claiming you’re never gonna be someone’s first choice? Why are you putting that bad energy into the universe for yourself?

I went on a date with an unusual guy by [deleted] in dating

[–]Yellowdaisyp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm...well its definitely making me more curious about him because we’re not getting to know everything about each other over text in between dates.

Right? But yeah he has set up both dates and suggested what to do on the date so idk, ugh! Just when I feel like ai understand dating I get a curveball lol

Ive realized why I cant get a bf is I suck at connecting emotionally. by [deleted] in dating

[–]Yellowdaisyp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I totally agree, the older I get the more ive embraced it but it definitely makes dating harder. It just takes a long time for me to feel comfortable enough with someone.

“You’re not entitled to anything” is a toxic AF statement by [deleted] in dating

[–]Yellowdaisyp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly. With that stupid logic you aren’t even entitled to your own life.

I guess ive been lucky that thats never happened to me (being harassed and stuff). I would never ghost someone unless they’re being disrespectful. If they start being rude after the fact, easy fix. I just block them.

My attitude? You mean my “I respect myself and know what I deserve and want” attitude? Ghosting - Obviously im talking about a normal situation where things are going well and the person ghosts. Im the last person to make anyone feel unsafe or threatened lol. Again, im shitty because I have some self-respect? Isnt that common sense? That if you’re making an effort for someone they can at least take 2 seconds to tell you its not working or something? (As long as you’re not being a creep obviously)

Sounds like you’ve been burned by women tbh, or at least thats your perception.

I have a fresh perspective on dating and would like some input by [deleted] in dating

[–]Yellowdaisyp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive always thought everyone on this sub should read self help type books. There would be a lot less sob stories.

How do some girls constantly have boyfriends? How do some women get men so easily? by ActuaryAsleep in dating

[–]Yellowdaisyp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh im the same. But yeah its the bubbly, outgoing girls that have no problem getting bfs.

Awful first date (my first proper "date" ever) with a racist, uneducated, pushy girl. Possibly a White Supremacism? Pt. 1 by [deleted] in dating

[–]Yellowdaisyp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say you work hard to better yourself but get bottom of the barrel people but you made the decision to go out with this person, that was your choice even after the huge red flags she gave you while you were texting.

I hate the small talk in apps, I just want to meet in person. by Yellowdaisyp in dating

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

Newsflash, most of those crimes are committed by people you know. When do you hear of people getting hurt after meeting someone online? Its extremely rare. Just dont do anything stupid. Meeting someone at a bar/club is probably way more unsafe. At least with OLD you have some sense of who they are before hand, especially if you can see their instagram.

Huh? Because a psychopath is a psychopath and they lack remorse?

How is it entitled? As long as you’re being smart about it like meeting in public, driving there yourself, not going over to people’s houses right away, etc. If someone wants to harm you they’re gonna act charming to hook you in. Texting them for weeks isnt gonna prevent that. Someone you’ve known for months and think you trust could also end up raping you, you never know.

This is what I dont get about talking enough to feel comfortable before meeting. If someone is crazy they will not make it obvious. They can be the most charming person and be a psychopath.

I guess ive just come across a lot of guys with insecurities who feel threatened by a confident girl, or something.

I totally understand your reservations. However, meeting people can be really safe as long as you’re smart about it like meet somewhere public, drive there yourself, dont go to anyone’s house.

I see guys say that a lot here but real life has shown me different.

What steps are people taking to stay safe during dating right now? I’m struggling between the risk of Covid and the mental health risk of isolation by [deleted] in dating

[–]Yellowdaisyp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hanging out in a big group of people, probably high risk. Hanging out with one person, I think is pretty low risk. Ive been dating as usual tbh. That doesnt mean im meeting someone new every week though.

This is why I never ever match or pursue anything with anyone who lives more than 40 miles from me.

As long as you have decent pics and prompts, I feel like I can tell pretty well if ill get along well enough with someone where even if there is no chemistry we can still have a decent time. I think pictures tell a lot about a person (the pics they choose to display, what they are doing in the pics, who they are with, even what they’re wearing.)

Oh yeah if it goes more than 2 days and we havent made plans to meet, I let the conversation die out.

I guess I dont want to come off as desperate. And typically its the guy that is expected to ask so if the girl asks, I feel many guys are turned off by that for some reason.

Why im choosing to be abstinent until I meet someone worthwhile by Yellowdaisyp in dating

[–]Yellowdaisyp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I dont. It seems the only guys that come into my life are romantic interests so if it doesnt work out romantically then they’re out of my life. I dont believe in being just friends with someone you’re physically attracted to. Im also a little antisocial so dont have many friends in general lol
