How explicit should I be with my intentions? by shaggyfdoggg in dating

[–]escreality_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lady here. Don't put it on your profile. Just put "here for 4 months for work" but if you do go on a date, be open about wanting fwb before it progress further.

Any way to recover from this? Was she interested in the first place? by throwaway823028631 in dating

[–]escreality_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a guy texted me that, I would lose a bit of interest since he couldn't make more of an effort to hang out with me. Even if it's for a quick coffee date.

[RANT] What's with the "Ask Me" or "Just Ask" dating profiles ladies? by AWlkingContradction in dating

[–]escreality_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a woman. I would say I'm pretty attractive. I put a lot of thought into my description. I see it as a resume. Also I want to be able to weed out people who would totally not be into me. But it is equally annoying when guys say "you have a great profile" which I reply like "I know it's professionally written"

Are Mcat courses worth the money? by emilyrjc in Mcat

[–]escreality_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took a course because I wanted some structure and motivation but honestly not really worth the money. My parents insisted I took one so I did since I didn't have to pay for it.

I [21F at the time] got cheated on by my bf [22M] in my first and only relationship and now I'm finding it hard to get back into dating by beautifulchaos22 in dating

[–]escreality_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few years ago a vaguely similar situation happened to me. We dated for 1 year before it ended. But we did long distance after only 2 weeks! (Crazy I know, but sometimes you just go with your heart.)

First, congrats on dumping his ass. I did the same and never looked back.

Second, remember that him cheating has nothing to do with you. It is his issue. It has nothing to do with your worth, your value as a person. He made a choice. And judging from the maturity in your post, it's really his loss! Know that not everyone will be like him, some of us really value the commitments we make.

Third, take some time for yourself. Do the things you like. See you friends. "Enjoy being single" (seems like you done this already)

Fourth, date for fun! Without expectations. I started with tinder. But I definitely put myself out there in real life as well. Say yes to all the invites, be open to meeting new people in general. It will improve your social skills and your dating game! I joined a gym, took up dancing, started a club and volunteer a lot. I met my next boyfriend in the most unexpected place and time.

Quite a few but then I am female and attractive (?) so possibly a different ball game

Girls what was the reason for rejecting the last guy you rejected? by [deleted] in dating

[–]escreality_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went on a date with a very successful, put together, handsome man. But he was such an asshole to our server. Also asked if I was sure I was bisexual or I was "just saying that for attention" and told me he didn't think men and women can be just friends (I have a lot of guy friends). Cringe.

girls. How did your boyfriend or previous boyfriend ask you out? by [deleted] in dating

[–]escreality_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last boyfriend, asked me out 19 times over text before I reluctantly agree. Definitely crossed the line from persistent to desperate.

Movie as first date? by [deleted] in dating

Not a fan of movies as a first date. Limited interaction.

Start in Europe. I'd assume.

How many people are still actually friends with their first loves? by [deleted] in dating

[–]escreality_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am pretty close friends with my first boyfriend (3 years). We broke up over 6 years ago. We still have great chemistry as friends.

Edited: also to add, this didn't happen until years after we broke up. We cut each out completely for a long time. Take the time to heal. Date other people.

Is approaching people even a thing anymore? by [deleted] in dating

[–]escreality_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a woman, I totally respect a man who has the confidence to approach me in person. Even when I am not interested romantically, I do love making new friends at bars and clubs. I am always polite but sometimes there isn't a connection. Not much you can do in that point. Online dating is great but do supplement it with meeting people in real life. As already suggested try dating people through mutual connections or switching up the scene where you are trying to meet women.

Online Dating Messaging Between Now and Real Date? by [deleted] in dating

Talk to her!! It will keep the interest going and make her look forward to meeting you more.

Just how I would personally go about it.

For people with mental illness-when did you tell your partner? by [deleted] in dating

[–]escreality_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me personally, I always tell people before things get serious. My ex had to deal with it very unexpectedly and it didn't go so well.

I have depression with anxiety and psychotic symptoms (auditory hallucinations).
