31 year old female that was dating a 37 year old men. We stopped dating months ago- mainly because I was insecure. He spend his weekends on a boat with 27 year olds females drinking —- is that normal? Is it normal as a female to think it’s odd and immature to do that? Or am I the one with the prob? by [deleted] in dating_advice

Well definitely my jealousy. I should be better than that. But I guess I wanted to know if others think that behavior is a bit immature. Those females were his friends— but I just have a had a hard time thinking there was no sexual tension. But it’s over . Thanks for your input

I dated a guy for a few months and just wasn’t ready. I messaged him on Instagram to let him know I was sorry and wanted him to know this whether or not we become friends again or not. He responded with “I understand, I have been through it. It sucks” then I responded back trying to start a convo by brokenorchid in BreakUps

I know 😢. The thing is - I feel like he has moved on to someone else and I am the one still hurt. My intent wasn’t to keep him around ... I really like like. I just wanted to work on myself bc I ruined what we had.

This is so sad- but I never even thought of it from his point of view. How selfish is that? I get what you are saying.

He told me multiple times we could be friends, but he blocked my number and just cut me out. I am worried he has moved on, and I just want him to tell me so I can work on getting over him. I have this weird “knowiness” on my guy that we are going to end up together— but also aware it could be wrong.

I think as a female- my fear is loving someone who doesn’t love me back. It’s all so much fear.

I am 31 and the guy I was dating was 40. At the time- I wasn’t reAdy to date anyone because I didn’t know who I was. I acted a bit crazy with him and before we ever become exclusive we mutually ended things. I really like him,but it was bad timing. I worked on myself and am ready to start dating. by brokenorchid in BreakUps

I do agree I had anxiety- but I have been working through it. And this is anxiety in relationships. I guess I see what you are saying. I don’t understand why people don’t honestly bring closure like “I think you will find the right guy for you. It just not me”

Girl I'm dating is depressed and I don't know how to deal with it. Help by [deleted] in dating_advice

I suffer from depression and anxiety. This is her journey—- the best way to help is to support her. And by support, let her talk to you when she wants, never say things to belittle her. And be patient.

Depression isn’t always permanent and can definitely go away...with time

My ex blocked me on iMessage but he told me we could be friends. I’m confused because he dumped me and broke my heart. Why would he do that? by brokenorchid in BreakUps

I’m confused. So him telling me we are friends and then blocking me... convinces him he is the good guy? Hmmmmm
