I know its different for all people, but on average its on date 2 where the first kiss is supposed to happen?
Bail outWe work together
You are her emotional crutchShe tells me a lot about herself and her life, about her addict brother that she feels she has to take care of. She takes care of this brother and is an emotional wreck over it btw. Fast forward again: and we still to this day talk to each other everyday and she still puts up with me and doesn't seem to be flighty. I mention this because she admitted that she usually walks away from people and leaves them so she doesn't have to deal with the emotions, but for some reason hasn't walked away from me, she even commented that she doesn't want to lose me.
You would be wrong. If she can get easy attention from you without having to commit, why wouldn't she?At this point I think it is safe to say (could be wrong) that she isn't just looking for attention because if she was I think she would have basically dissapeared and not put up with my asshole ways for this long
This is supposed to be one of the most important people in her life and this is how she feels about him. She probably doesn't prioritize good communication in a relationship.She also said that if she lost her current BF tomorrow that she wouldn't care as she hasn't loved him for about a year.
She also told the others thatShe has cheated on this BF three times but none of them have ever made her feel like I do, nor have they gotten as far as I have. The most she did with them was kiss and make out (at least that is what she says).
So she knows exactly how much being cheated on hurts.She never cheated on her first BF even though he cheated on her 8 times that she knows about and broke her heart.
She's waiting for you to be her security/safety blanket. What a reason to be with a guy.BTW she has left her current BF twice for extended periods of time but says she went back to him for security reasons and because the guys she ended up leaving him for were not who she thought they were.
Let me be blunt.

I mean, if you're willing to completely ignore all these numerous glaring red flags just because she's cute or she gives you attention or whatever, then by all means go ahead. But at the end of the day, it is your time/money/mental health.
If I were to suggest an alternative, there may be other girls out there that do not come with a huge set of problems. Just my opinion. Good luck!
It can be date 1 or date 5 or whatever, the average doesn't matter. Do it when there's a right moment for it, or if it feels right to you. Don't force it at the end of the date just because, but also don't stall it too long because you're afraid of being turned down. Be confident when you do go for it.I know its different for all people, but on average its on date 2 where the first kiss is supposed to happen?
You're being more direct, good! And don't worry about the outcome, practice makes perfect.Looks like being direct worked even though I still didn't get a date, but still.
It's easy to be too invested into a relationship to look it objectively, which also makes it easy to get manipulated. I suggest taking a step back and just trying to analyze the situation from another perspective. What if a good friend would confide all that to you, what would your response be?You are not the only one who has told me this. I am coming to that conclusion tbh. It just sucks to realize it.

Also, don't put too weight in what she SAYS to her. Let her actions speak for themselves. Honestly (ignoring all the specifics of this situation), if I was going out with a girl I was interested in for 3 months, and that we had already been talking for 6 months, and she still wasn't ready to ponder commitment/exclusivity with me, I would have my answer that she isn't actually interested in a relationship.
Wait, how did it work then?
What do you mean?
You said being direct worked, but you didn't get the date.
So how'd it work?
I don't agree there have been numerous times I have seen cheaters stop and be committed when they have found the right person, cheating isn't black and white (no matter what most believe). Mind you she is only 21 and hasn't been out of relationship more than 3 months since she was 16...
I'm not scared per se, just want her to find out if she really wants to be with me and not have her go into a committed relationship right after being in one. TBH it feels like we are dating now and she even admitted that.

Hi, dating Gaf. I need to ask you for advice for my close friend.
He’s been dating his current girlfriend for almost two years already. He graduated from university 3 months ago, so he’s currently searching for job. Now… Let’s say that paycheck which is normal in region where we live is X amount of money, and it’s really good if you’re able to get 1.5-2 times more than this. It looks like his girlfriend wants him to have 5X times of money right from the start – I can see him getting there, but only after 10 years at least and only if he’ll work really hard (and this guy... let's say he's not sure yet what kind of goals in life he has) . And they’re arguing about it. For me it looks like they’re not on the same page here and there is no future for them. But he really loves her and he is full of doubts right now. What can you advice to do in this kind of situation?
Thanks for the advice I will def be pondering this.
I fell for a chick that was still dating someone out of state, it sucked. I don't know if i could ever trust her if we were in a relationship but it was one of the best F*** buddies I've ever had. On the other hand this sounds like a nightmare, and i think you deserve someone better that will fullfill you and not take away from what you have to offer. Don't let her play you man.
Ok, this is going to be a long post and something I just need some advice on.
So Gaf I know as I write this out I see the fucking stupidity of the whole situation, but at the same time feel like maybe she is being honest with me and that she actually does "love" me as all of her past behaviors seem to be not happening with me. So what should I do at this point? Back off and see what she does, run for the hills, continue and see where this goes? I just don't fucking know anymore.
Also the three times we have been out only the first involved alcohol. The other times we talked for like 4 hours each time and just chilled. While also fooling around. So take that for what you will.
Going to Halloween party tonight with this girl I've been seeing the last two weeks. I basically know no one else there and she wants to keep it low-key (I.e. Act like we aren't dating). Even though I've supported going slow I feel kinda hurt.
Nope. First time I'm hearing of this word. I'm aware of "boo", but not "bae".
Kids these days...
You are not the only one who has told me this. I am coming to that conclusion tbh. It just sucks to realize it.
I met a pretty cool girl at a Halloween party last night. She was great and really friendly but I honestly I probably wouldn't be able to get over her interest in Chinese medicine and the fact that she gave up health science to pursue a career in acupuncture. Boy would I pursue an ultimately ill-fated fling with that girl if given the chance thoughI'm not a big dater (haven't been on a date since May 2014), and that's not by choice. But I met this girl last week with friends I rarely hang out with, and she's wow. Like being around makes me a lot happier than I'm usually and she's infinitely interesting and makes me want to know more about her. I went peoplewatching with her and friends tonight and it was amazing. She has no idea I'm interested in her that way (because we literally met less than a week ago), but I just know I need to keep hanging with her because I feel so much more euphoria just talking to her.
I feel happy![]()

I think I'm gonna just stop drinking. I swear being drunk doesn't lower my inhibition for shit. It just makes me dance and work out. I still can't talk to people. I had a rough night last night. Went out with some friends but there were huge lines to get in anywhere. By the time we got in almost all my friends had gone home. I was just a fifth wheel in the small group I was in. I felt ignored. It really sucked. It was really crowded and I tried finding people to somehow talk to. In the end there may have been one girl that was just sitting down while her friends danced. I thought about asking her to dance but I didn't do it. Then I got a call from a friend telling me they were leaving so I said fuck it and left. I can't figure this shit out.
Drinking wont make you a better talker if you dont know how to talk. It will only make you more willing to talk if you are normally nervous to engage.
Generally you should drink just to have a good time. Not to make you talk to women.
Phone call the next day after first sex encounter still a thing?
Quick question, but the girl I am currently dating won't take off her bra. We've had sex but she is not comfortable with showing her boobs ("I won't like them" apparently). Obviously I didn't make a big deal about it, but I was curious if anyone had any suggestions? It sounds like - speculating here - her mum gave her some self-esteem issues.

You must be new here.
You, my friend, are on a collision course with the friend zone, faster than the Armageddon meteor.
What?? D: What do you mean?
Today feels like the first big test in our 2/3 week relationship so far. My depression has surfaced for the first time which makes me push people away and I'm getting a bit paranoid (thought that's mostly because of said depression and my already super low self confidence). She's really "close" to a female friend of hers and she told me about how she slept with a friend who has feelings for her a few months ago. I shouldn't care about what she did before we started going out and part of me has pride that I'm the one lucky enough to be with her but my mind won't stop thinking about how I might be getting in the way or if I was a better person I would care less about her wanting to explore. I dunno, I don't think I'm in the right state of mind right now

You're interested in her as more as friends. You say yourself she has no idea you're interested in her in that way. If you keep "hanging out" with her without making your intentions clear, she will keep thinking you are her friend and will treat you accordingly. If you then, later on, break it to her that you have feelings, or simply that you see her as more than a friend, she will be confused. Because you were only her friend, remember? This is what people call the "friend zone". It's always self-inflicted.
Lesson: make your intentions clear and don't beat around the bush. Ask her out.

Well, that depends on how you tell them. Don't tell her you make me happier just by being there. That's creepy. They'll go away.But isn't it kinda creepy just to ask someone out when you really barely know them? Like I know her from meeting with mutual friends and I've only talked to her like three times and I met her a week ago. I don't know, I just feel kinda weird if I asked her out now even though I want to.

Something like
"Hey, I've had a great time with you when we all hang out together, I'd like to meet you for coffee without the others. What do you say?"
How do you think online dating works, as a relatively similar example? Do you find things like OKC and Tinder creepy as well?

So... Are you interested in persuing something? Seems like it was a good first impressions from both parties.
Holy fuck that is a long story
I'm sorryidk the email trick yet
