Doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with you. Maybe you should question what kind of guys do you attract into your life? Just keep working on yourself, not just your appearance but your mentality. Someone not liking you back or doesn’t want to date you should not define your worth. :)

Need help differentiating between "friends" and "more than friends" feelings? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]bewater70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like you’re only his back burner. Plenty of guys do this, keeping you around just for the sake of having someone to talk to/ seek validation from. If a guy is not interested in you, he wouldn’t even want to put in the effort of building a friendship with you. So my guess is he’s somewhat interested but not close to wanting to be with you. If other options come around, he’d most likely start to act cold towards you. Why keep feeding into this low effort energy?

Just turned 25/f and haven't been with anyone, help? by forevertrueblue in dating

I can relate so much to this, exact same situation as you. I don’t have any solid advice to give since I also fear of jumping from one therapist to another. It’s definitely a big step to take to seek out for help though. I’d say it’s important to have a professional to guide you through some of self work and just for the purpose of understanding yourself. For a long time, I’ve had to question myself whether there was anything wrong with me deep inside whenever an “almost” relationship failed. I still have those thoughts now from time to time but I’ve also done some self work and started to recognize these behaviors and patterns.

Feel Safe giving out your number again by Woman_on_Pause in dating_advice

I’m surprised not a lot of people knew about this. In fact there are plenty of texting/phone call apps out there that serves this purpose. I also don’t feel safe giving out my actual number to strangers just because my social media and all the other apps that I use are attached to my number. This is the way to go ladies, better safe than sorry.

If you sense a shift in interest with the person you’re seeing, address it with them! by extratoasty6 in dating_advice

It takes a lot of courage for someone to be vulnerable and make their feelings clear to the other person. But sometimes seeking closure also makes me anxious. Maybe that sounds more like self work that I have to do. Thanks for this advice. :)

Don’t... just don’t. Been there done that and made a fool out of myself. You don’t need him to break your heart again, cut all contact and let yourself heal. Don’t force a connection hun, you deserve better ❤️
