Is anyone having a hard time dating and in general just talking to guys? I'm always so busy that I never have enough time to text, meet and when I do it's like I end up having to talk about how busy I've been and unable to be responsive. Don't know what to do 🤷‍♀️

I’m having a hard time dating too. I thought maybe it was because of work commitments, but am realizing it is just because my wife disapproves.

I wouldn’t worry about it. If you want to prioritize finding a committed relationship, carve out time to devote to it and make it a priority. If you want to continue focusing on your career and/or being independent in your free time, that’s ok to. When and of those priorities shift, adjust as needed. It doesn’t have to be one or the other and there’s no timeline for when you’re “supposed” change those priorities. Take your time, there are plenty of guys out there in that same boat and can relate.

For me (a guy), I’m often in the same spot. It’s extra hard meeting those who have completely different lives - and therefore don’t understand that this is normal for us.

Hang in there - you’ll find someone who gets it and is ok with it

I’ve only slept with one person, my wife. I have not openly shared this with anyone because there’s a stigma that I “settled” or I don’t have numbers on the board like a man should. I’m not overly religious, so that was never a driver in the equation. I admit, I do think about the “what if” every once in awhile but I’m honestly getting to the age where I feel I’m beyond my prime anyhow.

Question that could belong here or in the Relationships bowl:

How do women prefer to be turned down if the guy they’re pursuing is not interested. I know men have the capacity to deal with rejection poorly, and I’m not suggesting otherwise. But in my anecdotal experience , women take the gentle “no thanks, not interested” poorly.

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

What exactly counts as ghosting . ?
You go on a date spend quality time , you have some intimate moments and the next thing the guy does is unmatch you on the app without sending a text.
Does this count as ghosting ?
Is expecting a text from other person saying " this is not what he is looking for " is too much to ask ?
This kind of behaviour puts other person on the self doubt mode.
