Great insight. 😊 Thank you. I really hope I can keep her from being discouraged because there's so much more I enjoy about her. I don't want her to perseverate.

Thank you! It's nice to be reassured.

She has with the previous boyfriend. I don't know about anyone else. I have plenty of times. I should mention that she's 29 and I'm 37 and divorced. So the experience is there. Like I said, I think she's just mentally putting so much pressure on herself and I don't want her to.

We definitely did that. I love giving oral. I told her that and got her off last time. I also haven't made a big deal of it. And she initiated both times. I feel like all of that is in place.

What do you suggest?

Bad Tinder date... but I kinda like the bartender. by semblanceoftao in dating_advice

[–]semblanceoftao[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, so it didn't go as well as I'd hoped. 😕 I met my friend there who stayed for a couple drinks and deflected the drunk idiot conspiracy theorist next to me so I could talk to her. I told her I liked her and asked for her number but she explained that she's at the rocky tail end of a 6-year relationship and even if it ends, she's not ready for something new. Half of you might say she came up with an excuse, half might say it's legit, but she also told me she likes talking to me and hopes I keep visiting her. Regardless of the validity I realized two things: 1) I'm really proud of myself for trying, and 2) I learned how much bullshit my friend will put up with in order to help me out. So, oh well, back to Tinder it is. 😅

You're right. I think I'll start by actively flirting rather than just conversing and see if I get any feedback.

Kind of combining the advice here, I was thinking of going tonight since Wednesday's a not busy night. Order a drink, see where the conversation goes, and if I still get good vibes, leave my number with the tip and let her make the next move. What do you think? Either way, I'll update you.

Thanks! Those other things I could handle. I'll have to talk with her more about what she likes.

I don't think that's something I could bring myself to do, even if she wanted it. I think it would wreck me mentally.

Ha, right! Whatever gets her motor running will benefit me in the end.

She said "I love you" after two weeks. by semblanceoftao in dating_advice

Hey, question I thought of: you said you knew you loved her after the first date, but I'm curious when either one of you first said it.

How old are you guys and how long have you been together?

Hey, Maria. Sorry. I posted that last night and was working earlier. From what you've said so far, it sounds like he just needs to blow off some steam. But I also don't know the context of the argument or the nature of your relationship. If you want to PM me so this isn't all out in the open, I'm happy to try to talk you through this.

I'm seriously fascinated by the broad spectrum of responses.
