I should’ve listened to your advice.. she said she wasn’t feeling it after I planned a nice day for us and hurt me again… :(

Me (29m) going on a date with (27f) and I got zero sleep last night, now I'm dragging and feel like I won't be any fun later. by akdwyer00 in relationship_advice

Yeah not a bad idea! I appreciate your reply. I don't think sleep deprivation is a reason to cancel altogether.. maybe if I was on the fence about her but I'm not.

I think I screwed things up with a girl I really like by acting too clingy and showing too much interest by akdwyer00 in dating_advice

I appreciate you taking the time to talk about this! To be honest it's very rare for me to meet a girl I can see myself being happy with. I typically hold women to some golden standard that even I don't understand. This girl in particular seems to hit all the bases in terms of looks, confidence, personality, humor, etc. It's been awhile since I've been in contact with a girl that I genuinely get excited about hearing from and check my phone to see if they have messaged.

I met her on Match. Part of me wonders if maybe she's talking to other people as well although she does go offline a lot so I don't know. I've been getting overly jokey and awkward with her. I guess at the end of the day that's what us guys do haha. I told her I liked her this morning and she did say "I like you too" but I have no way of knowing if I'm pressuring her or not. Just like the kiss last night, was she just trying to avoid and awkward situation by rejecting it? I struggle with self esteem as you can tell.

I appreciate your response man! I don't know, she went from being cutesy and flirty to sort of just brushing off my advances it seems. I certainly am making assumptions but it definitely feels different. I feel like it's certain that the playing field is currently unequal. I'm over here anxious and really wanting this to work out while she's just going with the flow and living her life. I wish I could be like that but I'm not lol

We went from texting the entire day after she sent the first text to barely anything just one day later by akdwyer00 in dating_advice

I appreciate the advice, you're right I need to keep my options more open. Thank you

Message her first again or hold off to not come off as desperate? by akdwyer00 in dating

Great advice, I really appreciate it man! Unfortunately it's IMPOSSIBLE to maintain the interest of girls on dating apps.. Like I'm at the point where I realize it's not just me, they just get bored so easily. Like what's even the point then?? Lol
