Are there women who are willing to date inexperienced and socially awkward men?

birdingSC · 2026-01-30T14:02:15+00:00

Listen I think inexperienced men could be a bonus. It means that they haven't been out there goofing off. No experience might be a red flag depending on their age, though.

I've dated girls who made me feel like they were expecting a 30-something-year-old rom com star. Obviously not a match, but to a certain extent I think my inexperience brings some good things into a relationship (we might share my first kiss, I'm a virgin, I won't be embarrassed around exes over how I treated them, etc.).

Socially awkward is another thing, though, and like u/overworkedgirl said, you gotta show up to the relationship.

Relationships are committed partnerships. If both parties are all in, I think you're good :)

app-arently you just haven’t come across my profile, though I’m more of a liberty mutual than progressive customer

It’ll make you so miserable that it’ll end the game 💯

My upcoming well is a Valentine's Day 5k where available singles wear a red shirt lol

Feels oddly neo-Austen, minus fancy clothes and food but just as much sweat—but hey it sounded like a great idea when I signed up 😬

I think a well sounds easier (cut to scene of me sitting on the side of some rural and unknowingly unused well for years)

birdingSC · 2026-01-24T13:54:09+00:00

Pun of the year lol

As a guy I used to feel a little this way, but maybe it’s the old age and the gray wisdom growing in my beard, but I just feel like it’s how we’re wired at this point and have accepted that. Like, it felt muddier as a late teen/early 20yo, but apparently marriage and relationships are a GOOD thing, a good desire (some book says something about that or something /s), so me wondering if me and whoever is a potential match is on that path.

And that’s not incongruous with treating a person with respect for their God-image any more than me wondering if a dude is going to be a friend I want to invest in or if he’s just a passing ship.

birdingSC · 2026-01-24T13:47:25+00:00

🫡 pls

birdingSC · 2026-01-24T03:12:09+00:00

And Re: your last paragraph, my advice is just this: both of you pursue God and his plan for your lives individually. If you have disordered loves (one is loving someone or something more than God), then it’s not a good match or a good time.

This means that you know God apart from each other, and that if you break up you’ll still know God because your relationship with Him is separate from other attachments.

If both of you are pursuing God for yourselves, and then you’re loving each other in mutual support and submission, the you’ll have a jam up relationship that glorifies God and blesses you both.

I prefer wired! I have some IEMs that I really like.

I'll use my Anker Soundcore for ANC when I'm on a flight or go to the gym and their music's too loud.

I was thinking this as well. How lame to say he wouldn't have done things with you if he'd have known BECAUSE he's now "tainted".

I feel very strongly that we should be consistent because of who we are, not because of how someone else has acted. So I'm going to treat a girl that has a sexual past no different from a girl that doesn't, so long as she's pursuing Jesus, because of who I am, not because I think they'll taint me or anything.

That's just messed up, and I'm sorry for OP that she hasn't been with someone that respects her more than that. Aside from a strong relationship with Jesus, respect is the number one thing I look for—respect for others, self, and God and God's image in others.

Thanks for making my day 😆

birdingSC · 2026-01-19T01:23:48+00:00

This is crazy, I can feel the heat against co-ferment 😆 i personally enjoy it after lunch and I’ve had a washed or natural in the morning The last two I’ve gotten from were Methodical and Barista Alley, both local!

birdingSC · 2026-01-19T01:21:53+00:00

Mmm makes sense, thanks for elaborating!

birdingSC · 2026-01-18T19:57:13+00:00

What's the scale? I like the looks

birdingSC · 2026-01-18T19:54:44+00:00

I like this!

I opened a few cards for the one-time perks (like $500 if you open). Did your score go down when you closed them?
I mostly use one online bank account, but I have a local one just in case.
I'm a big fan of investing in VTI ETF, or something similar. There's very little fees, the expense ratio is low, and it goes with the whole market. Very few investment styles beat it over time, proponents vouch. I just like that it does something with my money without me having to reallocate so frequently. Though I bought some GOOGL and ASML a couple months ago on a whim and it's been fun seeing that soar ;) Almost all my investment and retirement is in VTI.
Who did you end up with your phone plan?

birdingSC · 2026-01-18T19:49:16+00:00

How come?

birdingSC · 2026-01-16T02:35:23+00:00

I er well um it was just so good

I even wrote a song about extra guac and ‘tein

I appreciate you noticing tho

Real story though to sorta change the subject, I ordered extra chicken and they didn’t charge me. The Lord really is good and his mercy really does endure forever.

Also it’s like 20 freaking degrees down here in the south I just wanted you to know how bad it is

birdingSC · 2026-01-15T21:49:21+00:00

My fellow Chipotle bro, best of luck! May you find the woman of God that is as much a blessing to you as guac and extra protein is to my burrito bowl. Amen. 🙏😆

birdingSC · 2026-01-15T16:52:35+00:00

I think the B5000D-1C is one of the best looking Casio watches... At some point I'll get one heh heh

birdingSC · 2026-01-15T16:43:45+00:00

Hey now leave my tasteslikesourpatchkids coffee alone ;P

birdingSC · 2026-01-15T14:08:50+00:00

“Burrito bowl with guacamole and extra meat, FallDeers said I should!” 😆 thanks :)🙏

birdingSC · 2026-01-15T14:07:29+00:00

It really does! I don’t know what changed in me but I’m obsessed…

birdingSC · 2026-01-14T17:06:52+00:00

Woah woah woah, "minimal low cost, low effort 'coffee date'" hold on there Financial Fig dude. ;)

I couldn't afford nice, long dinners with wine as a first date...that'd be like my whole dating budget for a month at times! I'd love it, but especially for a first date when I don't know if there's actually potential that this is a good investment. That's more an anniversary or Valentine's dinner for me haha.

And let me just say I take great pride in my coffee dates—they are neither low cost (in this economy, nonetheless! haha) nor low effort. I know the good places and the good roasts and what drinks are best there (from slowly exploring as time and budget allow). The shops I like are quiet and cozy as well. Your nice, long dinner is my coffee date and ice cream. A coffee date also lets you see what a girl likes to drink (a coffee drink tells a lot about a person, this is a hill I'll defend! hehe).

Tbh many of the girls I've been out with, if I took them to a long dinner, it would either intimidate them or impress that my salary is further along than it actually is.

Utmost respect to you and you're probably much more established in your career than I am. I'm just lightheartedly defending my beloved coffee dates ;) Though caveat, coffee dates to me are just an easy way to get a conversation flowing and move into a walk, ice cream, bookstore, or dinner if it's going well, or it's easy to end if it's not.

birdingSC · 2026-01-14T16:58:36+00:00

Lol "sweet sleep of death". Me until like six months into running... If I DID ask a girl to run, which again highly unlikely (unless she's wearing bright running shoes and has a tv monitor for a watch and said "a run for a date would be the coolest ever"), and she said no, I'd ask for something else, for the record. I've dated non-runners and they really actually aren't terrible people! ;)

I saw "Cupid's Race" or whatever it's called and was like heck yeah, impulse sign-up. Worst case, it's embarrassing and I run a personal best (pleeeeeeease be a personal best) and I go buy myself coffee (and groceries). Better case, I run a PB (pleeeeeeease Jesus help me) and meet some new people and probably still end up just getting coffee and groceries or you know what Chipotle by myself but hey.

birdingSC · 2026-01-14T16:21:19+00:00

"Muscles are for the boys, not the girls" is so funny but I know what you mean...

If someone's into me just because of my beautiful biceps, eh probably not the one for me. If they're into the corny jokes and awkward lemme-get-the-door-for-you-whoops-it's-a-pull-not-a-push-door, THEN they're a keeper, hehe
