I've been seeing someone for a few weeks but they keep saying I'm not very "good" at communicating? What the heck does this mean? Female here. He's a guy.

Sounds like he's the one who's no good at communicating since you have no idea what he's talking about.

Do you say what you think? A lot of guys seem to think women aren't honest about their emotions because we're conditioned to only say nice things. Say something a little offensive but humorous to throw him off.

I mean *our

Have you told him what you want? Or are you wanting him to *know* what he wants, and have that be exactly what you want?

Need more context. Are you saying something that differs from what you're doing/your behavior? Or, are you not saying anything, then complaining or expressing displeasure at the circumstances? It can be as simple as meeting up at a Thai restaurant he suggested, then making a comment how you don't really like Thai food. Who knows...
I wish we had a relationship advice app

I say if he is already criticizing you after just a few weeks, give him the boot. Hand him his marching orders. Give him the old heave-ho. Bid him sayonara. Communicate very clearly and say "You're fired."

It means "you talk to much"

Is it irrational for me to get an “ick” for this?

I went on a “date” recently. I paid for the tab as they were going to the bathroom. As we were leaving they said “thanks for lunch” — I was hoping they’d at least ask to Venmo me half as a kind gesture. Following lunch we grabbed dessert. I was hoping they’d offer to cover dessert since I covered lunch but it didn’t happen.

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?

So, this is a little awkward, but I recently moved to SD for a fresh start, and honestly, I love this city. My problem is I have been more of a homebody since I moved here and I'm a little intimidated to go out and meet people because I don't feel like I fit in here. I am overweight and this city is full of active, and attractive people. I guess I am wondering what my experience would be if I got out more? I feel like people look at me when I'm in public because I stand out due to my size.
