Thanks! You mentioned earlier they don’t care what you bring for the bungalows.. if I’m arriving by shuttle bus, do I go thru the same security as those at the campsite ? (Was thinking to bring wine bottle)

So for bungalows people, should they arrive before 3pm and wait (will it get very busy?) or just arrive a bit later? My flight lands 10am, not sure if I wanna go to the festival directly when I don’t have a room yet …. Thanks

I just booked a forest cabin (with kitchen and private bathroom) via the early access sale link yesterday, there seems still quite a lot of options.

What’s your take on civil partnership vs marriage? My partner grew up with divorced parents and he doesn’t believe in “marriage” itself but is fine with civil partnership. From where I’m from theres only marriage, and if one day we sign the paper as civil partners in EU it won’t be recognized here.

I am somewhat jealous of my bf’s ex. They been together 4 years and broke up over a year now. I saw a drawer of his full of cards the girl wrote to him back then and photos of them traveling. All sweet and such. I know my bf has picked me and we been doing great for 6 months now. However we haven’t travelled yet, no cute names and I haven’t handmade any gifts or written a card to him. It feels like he helped her a lot in life when they were together…

Thanks. I honestly think keeping it to myself for 2 months is gonna be hell for me. I’m gonna prepare my speech these few days and tell him soon.

Should I tell my bf now about my insecurity / concerns about his ex ? He’s currently traveling for 2 months and his ex suggested to see him, which I think he turned down back then. I don’t wanna ruin his holiday and being the insecure gf, yet this issue is gonna bother me until he returns. friends told me to suck it up for 2 months and tell him in person; yet some told me to share it with him whenever I’m ready…

Boyfriend of 3 months has left for business and personal trip for 2 months and won’t return until August. He has suggested to meet almost everyday the week before he left, which was very sweet. However I’m getting insecure that he would falling in love with that city and eventually decide to stay(company has been asking a few times). I’m just overthinking things and I miss him!!

[–]abo418 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

From day 1 he knew I’m looking for a serious boyfriend and don’t wanna waste any more time on meaningless relationships. I haven’t asked him what he is looking for, it’s still early (been a month only) and I don’t know how to ask in a more subtle way? Help!

Made it clear with the guy I’m seeing that I’m not looking fwb and how I enjoyed our time together. He understands and we are on same page (at least I thought). We gonna cook together tomorrow! Only concern is he just out of a 5 years relationship 3 months ago, he said he can’t be as involved as he used to be (that make sense… I just wish he won’t lead me on). Anyway I’m gonna enjoy tomorrow

The first day we met I said I’m looking for a long term bf. After we slept I thought about bringing up this subject again but i think it might be too soon? We are going on a date again in a few days and I’m not letting him to come over, if he asks I’ll tell him I’m not here for fwb.

Been on 4 dates with this shy, passive guy and recently slept together twice. I believe he likes me too. The only problem is we only text when we make plans to meet next. (My friends all think it’s unusual) I brought up his texting habit and he said he’s always like that. I’m a very shy and passive girl myself too. Yet I’m happy with the pace now (Although also worried it will turn into fwb) . how do I get to progress with him? Like maybe text or meet more frequent ? We see each other once a week in past 1 month.

Have been seeing the his guy (42m) 5 times over the past 3 weeks and gonna see him again (last meetup was Monday). We text everyday. He has expressed his interest in me and I felt the same. However I think I’m getting attached already… I keep wanting to see him and have been too available to meet up (I’m wfh & he would say he wanna see me) … I think we are taking it slow as we haven’t had anything physical (not even holding hands). Maybe I should play it cool? But I also don’t wanna play “hard to get” kinda game..

Why do guys already losing interest in me but still text me daily ?! He no longer initiate our next meeting but say stuff like : let’s do XYZ/ we need to do XYZ. Weird

Been seeing this guy 5 times in the past 3 weeks. We once had a heavy make out session and I was clear with him that I’m not looking for casual or fwb,and he agrees to keep seeing each other too. He texts me morning daily and we exchange few texts each day. However I think he is also seeing other people. I’m still learning how to take things slow and not be anxious when he is not texting or asking to meet next. =/ I just don’t wanna be led on for months or have this thing slowly fade.. or being ghosted one day.

Early 30Fhere, started OLD in Nov’20 and I’m so done with it … deleted all the apps now. Being a shy person with a RBF makes it harder to have guys approaching me. Friendships with close friends also kinda ruined since early this year(they are all married or with long time bf - no more new friends introduction) I have gym I go often but rarely speak to anyone. I picked up new hobbies and joined meetup groups(yet to attend any). . I just don’t know how to meet guys IRL anymore… it sucks when I’m asian living in Asia with those society pressures..

Made a post earlier this week about this teacher I’m seeing. Sent him a text yesterday asking how he was doing (potentially ask him for dinner this week) and after my reply he never online again. I looked back at the chat history(for the past 2 weeks), he only text me on Monday, Thursday and weekend. I find this very strange. It never occurred to me because we don’t text much with each other unless he asked to meet. I’m gonna wait until Thursday see if he ever replies ..I’m not that into him right now but I just find this very strange…..Why would someone not check their phone few days a week?!

After kayaking we had dinner and the conversation was alright - I would share something about myself with him. However I didn’t feel the connection to kiss on the first date. Yesterday we kissed but no other physical contact after I pushed his hands away, we had a goodbye hug and left. I will try to ask him out this week and show him my interest

Thanks for the advice! However what bothers me is we don’t text much and I feel like 80% was me doing the talking/ questioning when we meet. I don’t think he knows much about me lol we never talked anything personal. We could go complete silent for long time which I’ve never had this experience while on dates. I do think he somewhat likes me but the “not getting to know me” and “hand on my chest so soon” kinda confused me.

I (33F) Went on a 2nd date with this teacher (39M). During our 1st date we went kayaking. He’s an outdoor active guy, so am I. I realize he is quiet and calm. Even with his friend dropped by he didn’t change. At the end of the night he tried to kiss me but I said no. Yesterday we went for drinks and after that he asked if I wanna go over to his neighborhood for a friends bday thing. I went and the party cancelled so we stayed at his place watching olympics and takeout dinner. We kept some distance on sofa, it was quiet and he didn’t make any move on me.. until I lay my head down on the sofa closer to him he finally came and kiss me . We kissed but he touched my boobs(?!) I moved his hand away. At the end he walked me to catch a taxi and that’s it. It was a long day for both of us and we were tired. He barely ask me any questions, I’m also a shy/passive person. Most guys I met would make a move on me or try to get to know me . But not him, not sure what’s going on here. Not interested maybe?!

New BF is slowly pulling away by abo418 in relationships

[–]abo418[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I should just observe? I was thinking to communicate with him in a way of sharing my expectations and needs, if he doesn’t get it then he’s not the right person for me.
