Is it normal to know you want to be with someone after just one date?? I’ve heard men say they met their wives and knew instantly but I’m wondering if this is a real thing or just infatuation and novelty

Feels like that’s somewhat of a hindsight or self-fulfilling prophecy reaction to say you knew instantly. I mean when I first met my now wife there was something different in that meeting, but I can’t say I knew in that moment we’d be here now. In my case I met her when my guard was down a bit because I wasn’t actively looking to date, had spent the better part of my 20s single, casually dating and overall carefree about finding ‘the one,’ though I’m cynical about that concept still.

It's most likely the latter, but pursue it and see where it goes.

It’s just a good gut feeling about someone that grows as they fall in love.

People that say they’ve found the one after a date scare me because they can put on blinders to red flags that start popping up

Started talking to this guy through group a group telegram and one day he offered to pay for my lunch as I had helped him out with something. Since then he has been offering to pay for my dinners, salon visits, shopping etc and I have accepted 3-4 times. I am in a steady relationship and my boyfriend doesn’t know about this. The other guy just says he likes paying for my stuff and there’s no agenda. Is this a little weird?

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.

Been with my GF since college and we recently hit the 4 year mark. 1-2 years into our relationship I found out she had instances of micro-cheating (flirting with guys, talking to ex’s etc - but nothing physical) and we addressed it. To her credit and my knowledge, she’s been apologetic and great at respecting boundaries since, but I still feel the pain from her actions years ago (and have talked to her about it). Feeling lost about whether to just leave or to try and work things out

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷
