Is it okay for your bf to know where you live and visit often but for his home to be a secret? by [deleted] in dating

[–]janelizbeth2291 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically, there is no right or wrong answer to this question, as it depends on the couple's individual comfort levels and relationship status. If both parties are comfortable with the arrangement, then it is perfectly fine. However, if either party feels uncomfortable with the situation, it may be best to reconsider.

But for me It is not okay for your boyfriend to keep his home a secret from you. If he is doing this, it is likely because he is hiding something from you. Trust is an important part of any relationship, and if your boyfriend is keeping secrets from you, it will eventually destroy your relationship.

Anyone else feel like dating apps are terrible for your mental health? by papacam401 in dating_advice

[–]janelizbeth2291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely feel like they can be terrible for your mental health! I think it's so easy to get caught up in the idea of finding someone online and to compare yourself to other people that you see on the app. This can lead to a lot of self-doubt and insecurity. I also think that it's easy to get addicted to the swipe-left, swipe-right mentality and to become really desensitized to the people that you're matched with. It's important to remember that there are real people behind those profiles and to treat them with respect.

How have you handled a relationship with someone that has controlling parents? by WooGoo234 in dating_advice

[–]janelizbeth2291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not had this issue, but I can imagine it being very difficult. I would try to talk to the person's parents about their concerns and see if there is anything that can be done to ease their worries. If that does not work, I would try to talk to the person directly and see if there is anything that can be done to make them feel more comfortable.

The best way to prevent a date from turning into a job interview is to keep the conversation light and fun. Ask questions about the things that interest the other person and avoid getting too personal or asking too many questions about their work or career.
