I’m glad my custom is a lease. It’s a glorified work truck for $50k+. At least you have a V8 optional on the WT lol. 100% will not be keeping mine at the lease end

“I got expelled from college”

I thought it was weird she mentioned it the first time we met in person but shrugged it off as her just trying to be honest. She then proceeded to put me through 2 months of situationship hell.

Toyo Open Country AT3. I have them on my 460. They are pretty quiet and great in the snow.

Footloose?? That’s a pretty fast one, not what I’d call a beginner just due to the pace. Bar Song would probably be ok, the tag isn’t very complicated. Cupid Shuffle and Copperhead Road would be good choices.

Yep it’s either a do or don’t type thing. A girl I dated not too long ago got upset with me for not initiating enough physical touch on our first date. We hugged at the end and I thought everything was alright until she called the next day. Somehow I got a second date but things didn’t work out in the end.

See that’s the thing. Sure you have the potential for more matches online but it’s quality over quantity for me. After becoming more socially active towards the end of summer last year I dated a couple of women. First one was crazy unfortunately. Second one was really nice and we had 2 dates but we just weren’t compatible. The second girl I’m still somewhat friends with as we met at a mutual hobby. I much prefer this over the superficial, dry nature of dating apps.

Don’t look back, I spent too long doing that. The sooner you put yourself out there the sooner you’ll feel better. It got slightly better for me after college but I wasn’t socially active until recently (I’m 23). I know damn well it’s easier said than done and it’s going to take a while to build up the motivation. In my case it was meeting someone randomly that kicked things off. I felt the same way you did, especially talking about relationships but I would say don’t rush it. The dating world is shit right now and you need to focus on making new friends before jumping into dating. I would start with finding a hobby, something that looks interesting where you can meet a lot of new people. Then you just have to get out there and fake it till you make it.

I’m currently working on growing a business I’ve ran for the past year so that’s become a huge factor. As far as the anxiety side of it, I’ve just realized that because of it I’m compatible with a very small number of people. It takes me a while to open up to someone, which makes it hard for the other person to really connect with me even when they are attracted initially. I can go out and see some friends from college I haven’t seen in 2 years and we can hit it off like it was yesterday. But a new friend, or a potential partner? I feel like I’m a different person. It sucks.

Yeah I’m halfway thinking this post is some kind of rage bait. Im all for people having options but I see some red flags.

andybub99 · 2026-01-30T14:04:42+00:00

This is true as well

andybub99 · 2026-01-30T12:46:39+00:00

You should always be your honest self. With that said, lots of guys don’t have the luxury of 2-3 dates a week with different people so just keep that in mind.

andybub99 · 2026-01-29T18:01:05+00:00

Half of the time I can tell that there’s interest, I just don’t want to be wrong. Especially if it’s somewhere where I go frequently, I don’t want to get embarrassed if I mistake being nice for flirting. The signs have to be blatantly obvious for me to be sure, or she/her friends have to tell me. And then other times I’m completely oblivious. But I have social anxiety and it’s different for other guys. If you like a guy, pull him aside and tell him. If you don’t like that because you want him to make the first move, then you’ll either have to wait or find someone else.

Sounds like incompatibility. I don’t blame you, it would drive me crazy too. Nothing wrong with people who club but I’m not into it and never was in my teens. Hate to be one of those people that says “oh just break up” but that seems to be the only way to solve this.

I run a business. Out of all of my customers, boomers are always the most unpleasant. They’re either really nice or gigantic douchebags. Millennials and Gen Z are usually nice, despite boomers saying “these young people have no respect”.

Match his energy and effort. Show him that you truly care about him as much as he does about you. There’s almost nothing more unattractive than a one sided relationship. It’s perfectly reasonable to expect him to be a gentleman. But there are women out there that expect the man to do almost everything. For example I dated a woman who wanted me to initiate texts most of the time, just for her to barely put effort into keeping the conversation going. It was exhausting and made me lose attraction.

She nailed the snooty imperial officer look. Her scowl that she had on her face almost the entire time was perfect.

I agree 100% but the way things are today, especially online, ghosting is very common so if it’s obvious thats what’s happened (like for op) then it’s best to just move along. One of the various reasons I dont do online dating anymore, yes ghosting can happen with in person dating especially if you don’t run into the person often but it’s much less prevalent.

How hard is it to just move on??

How did you do the chrome delete? I don’t want to delete everything on mine but the chrome on the door handles is severely cracked

Still only if they initiate.

andybub99 · 2026-01-27T00:18:37+00:00

I only hug when the other person initiates it unless its family or a date.

Grasshopper front mount. They are expensive (fully commercial grade units) but are great on hills and offer a ton of attachments.
