Got asked out on a date. After I agreed he ghosted. It’s been 3 weeks and he just texted “Hey, sorry for the delay. I’m down to hang out anytime.” Is it even worth replying?

It takes 10 secs to send a message and say, “Hey, I’m really busy right now. I’ll get back to you when things settle down.” If he doesn’t respect your time, he doesn’t respect you. People are too forgiving on the lack of common manners. Move on.

He probably had someone else in the works and it fell through. Either give him a final chance or don’t- go with your gut. These days weeks fly by so 3 weeks isn’t even that bad lok

And def don’t ask him what happened to him the last 3 weeks.

Nope. Go about your life

Did he say what the delay was? And were you talking for awhile before he ghosted? At first blush, I’d say forget about him but honestly I remember a period of time when I had weeks filled with motions, deadlines, interviews for a new job..all while also moving to a new apartment and I didn’t respond to a guy I had planned to meet up with. He was pretty understanding about it after I explained what was going on and that I was still interested, just had a crazy hectic couple weeks. Maybe he has a good reason. With the pandemic throwing everyone for a loop plus the holidays, I wouldn’t be too skeptical just yet.

I gained weight during my last relationship (probably around 30 lbs, and I’m 5’9”). Before my relationship, I felt like I could get any guy. But I’ve been single for 2 years now and it’s been so hard to date. I’m not sure if maybe I’ve lost confidence, but I legitimately don’t know how to get a guy to be interested. Any pointers?

I started dating someone mid-Jan and the other night he told me he’s falling in love with me. I said it back (I am).

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭

My non-Christian family doesn’t understand why I’ll only date Christians, or the dating scene in big cities, so they put pressure on me
