I'm (25f) at the point where I think I'll be single forever. I don't know how to flirt or what is just someone being friendly or someone flirting. My friends say I miss signs but I truly don't see them. It's it normal for his to not approach women now in days, like should I make the first move even if I'm not sure.

I think it starts with confidence. If you’re missing signs, then that means people are attracted to you.

Just don’t overthink it, if someone’s checking you out and/or it looks like they’re into you, they probably are.

You don't need to approach men. Men want to be the pursuers. Put yourself in a position to be approached. Go to a spot or location where you want to find a man, dress up, and be by yourself. Many guys nowadays find it tougher to approach groups of women because of various current societal norms. Other than that, be open to conversations with guys you are interested in. Drop hints that you're “free” or “not doing much” if a guy is asking if you have plans over the weekend, etc. That gives men an opening. Also, when a guy gets your number, and text/call/facetime, be responsive to indicate your interest.

You are a 25 year old woman, this is the easiest it's ever going to be: If a guy is talking to you or looking at you, he is interested.

Literally just go to amy bar or other social setting, and smile at some guys.

You should absolutely approach a guy of you like him.

You'll be fine. I had and still have the same issue. Ask yourself this:

Is this just in dating, or do you miss queues in general?

Do you feel "safe" in those social situations. Not in regards to the people approaching you but id the environment the right for you? For example, flirting at a bar may not be your thing, maybe you prefer something more organic like rock climbing or some other activity.

Lean on your friends to help you identify those queues. Some of us have to learn these things.

I had my first bf at 27. I would realize someone was flirting with me sometimes 2 years after it happens 🤣


It was more organic and while traveling.

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. 😭😭
