I know it's been said many times on here but I'd like to reiterate that early stages of dating suck!!! The emotional roller coaster screws with me.

Nah I just say what I feel and am straightforward. Not a fan of rollercoasters anyway.

D1 you're only one part of the equation. Those things don't prevent emotional rollercoaster

D1 that's great if it's always black and white for you, but that's not always the case, and it's not always avoidable with being straightforward.

True. Its tiring!

I feel ya. Keep going strong

^ but I think that sort of attitude helps to see through bullshit real quick. It's not about his/her action, it's about how you let it affect you.

That was a respond for A1 referring to D1's response. Phew

It's the grey area you don't want to come on too strong or come off disinterested. It's a fine line for both parties.

😔 total emotional and mental #uckery ..."what do they want??" 😩 haha

Usually when I'm straightforward about whether I'm interested or not, the other person reacts either positively or negatively. If it's negative you move on.

Yeah I can see that perspective, just offering my experience.

Hello! I’ve previously only dated white guys. While in quarantine I’ve gone on dil mil and made an effort with brown guys on apps. Surprised to find that many live at home or visit home often in mid 20s, are not financially independent, cannot cook for themselves etc. Is this typical? Or maybe it’s just the area I live in. Sorry if this came off as offensive, it just seems to be a pattern I noticed

Any Atomic Habit readers here? I’m brainstorming identity-based habits for two things I want to change:

Neither of these feel that helpful. Any one have suggestions for other identity-based goals that get at these changes I want to make?
