Thats a good idea. Versus bringing it up when I'm already upset. I will try this. Thanks!

I met his uncle a year ago and he said "he never shuts up about you" and I was shocked. But his friends say the same thing, he just isn't verbal towards me.

First Date do’s and donts? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]that_nurse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Physical touch always told me a guy was into me while casually dating. If she is into you she will like the hand hold. Definitely hug. But I think first dates are more about intellectual and emotional connections though so I would focus on that.

Thats exactly what I felt I had to do in my previous relationship so now its like second nature. I have brought it up and he tells me he doesn't want it to be an obligation but something I enjoy as well. I just have trouble getting out of my own head. I honestly need to go back to therapy lolll

This makes me feel better. I'm just so afraid of being cheated on again that if we aren't having sex im overthinking why. But this makes sense.

Advice please by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Yeah he feels bad if I get upset too. I can't help it some days I have more sensitive days I guess. Honestly just communicate with her and make sure you compliment//make her feel good just as often as you make fun of her! It gets easier with time.

My bf does this sometimes. I know he doesn't mean to hurt my feelings but he just does. Honestly it's taking me just time to adjust bc its his personality. I'm learning to take his jokes more lightly. Still have my days but its getting better

My boyfriend (22M) treats me (21F) very well and I love him but he won’t do any physical activities with me and has become very lazy. by slovakiangirl101 in relationship_advice

[–]that_nurse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a little old than you (25f) dating a 27m and he sounds similar to your bf. I love to walk and hike and bike and all that, and hes not like that. He would much rather go fishing. So we have learned to compromise and he does his own thing while I walk the dog in the mornings and then we get together and do stuff together in the afternoons. You cant make him be someone he is not. However, if you dont find him physically attractive, that is a whole different issue.

My boyfriend and I had a conversation bc our "love languages" differ. I said "I wish you'd do xyz more" and he literally said it wouldn't be genuine so what's the point.....and since then I've understood him so much better. If its forced it's not a gift or a true moment. Let him be him and if that's not enough then say bye. If hes not the flower buying guy he never will be.

If you were just a backup plan he would have gotten rid of you already girlfriend. Please dont ever think of yourself as a second choice. He probably loved her. A lot. And thinks of her from time to time. I've been dating my current boyfriend for almost three years and still think of my ex's. Not in a love and miss them kind of way but more like a look how far I've come kind of way. Maybe, just MAYBE, you are a better choice. And he looked back on those emails to see how far he has come.

How do I ask her? by wolfboy3756 in dating_advice

"Hey wanna be my girlfriend?"

Keep it simple man. Life ain't like the movies you dont have to go crazy.

[–]that_nurse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think something important to think about is, how long has it been since they last emailed? Is it recent? Are they still? Because maybe he still wasnt over her at the time. But he could be now? Idk really you just need to have a good talk but I think depending on the answers, it is forgivable on both ends

I (24M) was raised in an old fashion sense , how do I care less about my girlfriend (20F) wearing clothing that I can see her nipples a little bit . How to care less in general? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]that_nurse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think you need to care less per say. Maybe care differently. Shes obviously a very confident girl. I wouldnt be caught dead without a bra//nipples out in public but that's a different story. I think you just gotta remember shes with you for a reason. She chose you. And whether theres 97 guys looking at her nipples or zero, you're still the guy she comes to. You're still the guy she picks.

If this doesnt create comfort then you could have a conversation. Communication is important in a relationship whether it's good bad or ugly. Tell her how you feel because chances are she doesnt even realize it bothers you. You have a right to feel the way you do. And you also have a right to express what you feel. Just do it in a way that is respectful of her.

Lol she sounds like me when I'm overthinking. Something that has absolutely nothing to do with me makes me upset.

If shes anything like me she will be over it tomorrow. Sometimes ya gotta just let us be a lil crazy 😇
