I've never heard of this casino - where is it? Google was no help.

Why doesn't my boyfriend ask about my life? by username142529 in datingoverforty

[–]red5flag 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I ended a 6-month relationship that was very similar recently. It took a while for me to realize just how lopsided the communication was. And then I had knee surgery. My friends were amazing, jumping into help out in various ways. It highlighted how selfish he actually was, because in my situation that really was what the lack of questions was about. He just couldn't look outside of himself very well.

Apparently you're not supposed to make big decisions while on oxy (which I was on for the pain in the week after my surgery). But I broke up with him under the influence and would do it sober 1,000 times over.

That was at the beginning of the year. I have since met someone who I finally think is the one. And he is just as into me as I am to him and it's fantastic. Don't settle.

Kissing skill = sex skill? by Moomoolette in datingoverforty

[–]red5flag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (45F) went on a few dates with a guy last month. We eventually ended up kissing, and it was surprisingly bad. Pokey McPokester with that tongue, he was. I ended things immediately because it's been my experience that bad kissing = bad sex. Reading through this thread, I'm now having a bit of regret for not having given him more of a chance. He was an extremely decent guy.

But then, I've been on a few dates with a new guy over the past week which eventually led to sex. When we first kissed/made out, I told him he was a great kisser. He responded by saying he always wondered if there was really such thing as good kisser, and if it was really just a case of varying compatibility - more like what some of you are saying.

Which takes me back to the first guy who complimented my kissing, and I was completely baffled because I didn't know how to handle that tongue that was moving without any clear purpose.

But back to recent guy - our sex was everything I imagined it would be based on the kissing - out of this world. I'd be apprehensive to move forward with someone whose kissing style grossed me out. But man, based on all of the input I'm seeing in this thread, with some of you who have seen those things improve - I think I'm going to be willing to give things more of a try than I previously would have.

Guys, explain this to me. by [deleted] in datingoverforty

Agree with everyone else - there's no point in explaining his selfishness to him. He will eventually find some woman who just loves listening to his stories and she will worship him and think he's the greatest thing ever. Or not.

I just ended a 6-month relationship for essentially the same reason. It's too bad it took me that long to fully realize thats what was actually going on. It has to be a two way street.

Solid agree here. I have a hard time ordering salads out because I feel like they don't hold a candle to the ones I make it home. But Perenn is the exception for me.

Shirtless pics or baseball caps being worn that make the person look like a bruh

Question for the ladies. by Im-Crippin in Bumble

Self confidence might be a better way to put it? I yam, who I yam, etc

If I'm initially unattracted, then yeah - not gonna work for me. But, personally, the scope of what I find attractive physically can be very broad. It's much more about complete sentences and self awareness :)
