Dating-Age |OT3| Positivity, Confidence, and Not Being a "Nice" Guy

I've been a dick to my girlfriend. I'm doing the same thing I've been doing in all my relationships - I'm being paranoid, needy and always thinking that the worst things will happen.

When it comes to relationships I constantly "fish" for compliments. I guess I need the validation, due to my insecurities.


Every girl I've been with have grown bored with me. They think im the most sexy thing thing ever, and so mysterious and interesting. Fast-forward 2-3 months and they are ready to throw me out. It just gets worse and worse, because my negative-generalizations keep getting reinforced by this behavior.

I'm actually not needy. I don't want or need to see her everyday, but I feel that any women I am with will betray me. Any moment of the day is another day she could go out and cheat - And from my perspective any female friend I have had, have always fell for the bullshit. I don't denie that I haven't met or been with alot of women or have had that many female friends, but I have been so disappointed in women in the age range of 18-28. The contempt for their shallowness eats me up like an old man.


I simply think so little of the women I am with. I trust them, yet I don't. I know it has nothing to do with them, but it's me. It's my ego that won't get bruised. I am afraid she will be other guys laughing behind my back.

I feel entitled when she doesn't want to see me, or have sex. I'm a decent person, but I have these horrible hang ups with women. I don't think this way (I think) due to wanting to control or be better. It's just fear. It's just fear of loss. The irony is that, everything might be fine, but I am creating real life problems, because they are only in my head.


My ego is so massive in this area. If I am not the best guy. If I am not the most handsome, the most strong, the most interesting, the smartest, then someone else will sweep her up her feet, and because she loves new, interesting, mysterious, getting the best she can, and because I am not longer interesting because she knows me, I told her my feelings and thoughts - She has not as much incentive or adrenaline infusing experiences with me, as some new guy. She will most likely settle for a stable guy in 10-15 years from now.

Have you tried dating a dolphin?

Stop dating. See a therapist.

I was also being paranoid till I started thinking differently!
Let me make it clear For you!!!

If she want s to fuck someone else, trust me, she will and you won't even know about it!
Just chill dont think about it and enjoy life!!!
No need to worry about these sorts of things!!

If she decides she wants to screw you and go with someone else while you treat her nice, you will eventually learn about it by the way she reacts when she is with you!

Lots of women out there ready for your D**k

Thanks for the input. Something to think about.

I have in the past. He said it was in relation to being abandoned by dad when small. It's disencouraging to be labelled as another one of those people with daddy-issues. *sigh*




Have you tried dating a dolphin?

Have to stick to dolphin porn.
 
Texted a girl and didn't receive a response.

Don't care.

I'm growing!

Or I texted a girl I didn't honestly care about to see if I'd be interested... let's pretend it's the former.

You can choose to let that discourage you or not. Daddy issues is hot. Pick the option of not letting it be a problem.

No need to assume the worst so quickly :)
 
Was in a party until just 3 hours ago. Danced with a girl that I wanted to dance since a long time ago but not the girl I really wanted to dance with.

You win and you lose sometimes. Hard. But booze makes it easier to go through. Also, don't use booze to console you. Hangover sucks.

Drunk post? Drunk post.
 
God fucking damn it.
Had a second date... sex date, whatever, with a girl last night.
Went to her place, she received me in her panties, we instantly made out, went to the sofa and started fooling around, ate her out, then she did it to me, then it was time to fuck and... it went total soft. For the second time. I wanted to fucking kill myself.
I can't fight these feelings, I even thought I'm gay because that piece of ass didn't do anything for the little guy, this is ridiculous.

I gave up faping and porn 15 days ago (that's when I first had this problem with this girl), if that matters..
Also I'm going to the doctor tomorrow, I want to get everything checked, from STDs to Testosterone levels, diabetes, etc.

DID YOU USE A CONDOM ?

because they are sometimes boner killers

without it though it feels like the motherfucking fist of the north star power punching/drilling/smashing pussy though the Cosmos...

Ok so I'm gonna call this girl to invite her to a wedding now, just a quick question, should the question be phrased like, hey would you like to be my date to this wedding I got coming up or hey I got this wedding coming up would you like to be my date.

What the fuck? Dude...just ask her.
 
Let me rephrase: weddings are for serious GFs.

Not really where I live, you usually invite someone you got the hots for, unlike america I guess where you go there looking for single women, everyone pairs up pre-wedding

and now that I made the distinction between the phrasing I gotta knowww!! teeheeeheee
 
sigh~

I'm from Chile, South America and that's the social norm here jeez, everyone always brings a date to weddings, kinda like senior prom I guess.

Plus it's my own brother's wedding so it's not like I can be dateless or anything

edit: dammit she didn't answer lol
 
I don't really crush on girls hard but a few weeks ago I started talking to this girl in my class and I was really attracted to her from the first moment we started talking. I eventually asked her out and she said yes but then she cancelled because she said she was busy so I took that as a sign that she's not interested in me even though it kinda seemed like she was, but whatever. I've been trying to get over her(liking her) but I've been dreaming about her a lot lately and it's making it really hard to get over her.

It fucking sucks.
 
Seeking advice, and tips to improve.

My girlfriend made me to be, kind of controlling.

What I mean is, I get uncomfortable when ever she hangs out with a guy (No matter what guy, if he's my friend, some douche etc.) texts a guy, or even Facebook messages a guy.

She cheated on me last summer, I forgave her, moved on, still love her - yes. But now I feel the way I explained above.

How do I stop this? Should I also try making friends with the opposite sex? She has many girl friend's also, who I always get along with but just never actually see them, or talk outside of the occasions we're all together in a group.

Any advice to help set my mind straight. Because she will be starting college in the spring, and god only knows how many guys she will befriend.

You shoulda broken up with her right then and there. You're only reinforcing her bad behavior.

You obviously don't trust her, why are you doing this to yourself and to her?
 
Thanks to OkCupid I potentially have a date next wednesday.

I dated one of my friends a while back, but this to me feels like my first proper date since I knew the girl I dated before.

You either completely forgive and forget, or you move on. You're in the middle where you're ruining both of your lives. Move on.

You should have broken up with her when she cheated on you, you just described a very unhealthy relationship.

This is my main problem. Even if the girl does like me back, I tend to be disproportionately more invested emotionally. I fall for girls way too fast and I'm not sure how to "fix" that. It would save me a lot of heartache for sure.
 
Got a date for tomorrow. Technically my first date which is weird since I have had girlfriends and relationships before this. They just developed in different environments. I would say wish me luck but I am too awesome to need luck ;)

flake...
Not too worried though since she did work black friday until 6am. Still I'm putting the ball in her court to reschedule.
 
Addendum to the above story about being FB ignored. Since I got no reply about the event I'm not going. This feels like freaking high school again, now I have to cut contact so I don't come across as a desperate creeper amongst our social circle.

None of my other friends seem to want to go out, either, so it's a stay in night with the internet and you guys~~~

That sucks dude, thankfully in my case this is the only girl I've really fallen for in like four years, usually with other girls it's just like "she's cute" or "she's got pretty eyes" and then I just forget about them but with this girl it has been different.

In response to your situation, have you been in a lot of relationships?
 
Seems like half the folks on here need to be redirected to the simping thread. :)

The natural progression is probably dating-age when you're so bad that you can't even get a girl to go out with you and then simping-age when the first girl that says yes treats you badly but you are desperate so you take it. Eventually you graduate to "no longer need ages"-age.

I guess before all this there should be a social interaction-age but that doesn't exist yet. Although I would probably appreciate it.
 
Gots me a question for girl-gaf.

I was supposed to meet up for coffee with some chick I met. We had a date for 12 PM yesterday. Unfortunately, for whatever stupid reason, my alarm didn't go off, and I woke up at 11:30. She lives far as hell, and I have no car, and the buses run horrendously on holidays so I had to tell her I couldn't make it. I did tell her that we could meet later in the afternoon, to which she said he had "other plans". Pretty sure she hates me now.

Look, I know you don't flake on a lady on the first date, but really now? Do most girls have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to this sort of thing?

Maybe she was actually busy, don't over think these things. Ask her out again and if she says she's busy again then just forget about her and go on to the next girl.

You scheduled a date for Thanksgiving and flaked >_>. Hmm.

I tried to call her later in the day to ask when the next time she would be free, and she hasn't responded.
 
Would you hate her for all eternity and hope she burns in hell if she had flaked on you? I hope not :) I doubt she hates you. At least you called and told her what happened, any normal person would do that.

I kind of disagree. A first date is like an interview; you don't know the person that well and you want to get a read on them to see if it clicks.

Bailing on a date thirty minutes before you're supposed to meet is a really shitty move. Girls especially will usually take some time to get ready first and she may well have been on her way when she got the call. It does not say good things about you.

That being said, it does depend on her tolerance for these things. You may still have a shot, so I wouldn't give up yet. She may have actually been busy.

For future reference an alarm failing to go off is never an excuse for anything.

Good points. Maybe it's just me who associates flaking with being a no-show and not hearing a word ahead of time, or ever again. That's why I thought it was nice of him to call her to explain the situation, even if the excuse was very poor.

I wouldn't hope she burns in hell and i wouldn't hate her but it would definitely make me think twice about wanting to go out with them. It's not a good look especially for a first date.

The fact that it was because he slept in because of his alarm clock going off only makes it worse. As mentioned above that really isn't an excuse for anything especially when the date is in the middle of the day. I mean it's not like he even needed to get up early but sleeping in till 11.30 when you have a first date to go to really does show a lack of interest imo.

I think it means he isn't an asshole like the people who flake and don't say anything, it doesn't really make up for it in anyway unless it is a good excuse.

It was good to call.

However imagine you had spent the last hour getting ready and then while you're leaving you get a call from your date saying their alarm clock didn't go off ad they can't make it. I'd be pretty irritated and wouldn't think much of that person, though if they hasn't called I'd have thought they were worse.

Also waking up at 1130? Really? Don't people have something better to do?

Yeah i would consider getting out of bed at that sort of hour not the best sign either.

This I agree with. On some level, the interest just isn't there for whatever reason.

I got up at 2pm today ^_^ It's almost 5pm now, time for breakfast! On the other hand, I didn't have a date lined up and I was out until 3am last night, partying on 3 hours of sleep.
