Online dating is such a mystery to me. You match, maybe you talk, you might have good conversations, and then it just stops. I never know how to kick things up a notch. Help? 23 y/o F 🐟 here

you sound like every other match of mine. I'd flip that question back to you. Either take the date invitation or let me know you aren't interested so I can move on with my marvelous life. Sincerely, a single male consultant

educate the young ones? they are the competition. 😂 I'm trying to take you out, not empower another dude to do the same. I'm a chivalrous person but if you aren't attracted to me in other ways already, chivalry won't get you anywhere.

It was so easy, "you have a great sense of humor (based on a pic in her profile), I think we should meet up some time." My wife is still embarrassed it worked on her.

It really depends on what you're looking for. If you want a serious relationship, most of the swiping apps may not be your best choice. I've been listening to a lot of podcasts lately - The Evolution of Desire on Art of Charm might give you a few things to consider. It's truly unfortunately a numbers game, and depending on your locale and situation, the odds could be against you. But take heart and be patient :)

I’m (early30s) about 8 months into a relationship with a 40m. Things are wonderful in every aspect, but he is absolutely atrocious with his finances. I felt it becoming an issue about two months ago. He forgets about auto payments and just generally doesn’t care. I sat down with him and looked at everything and even after talking it out he still continues to stress and it’s now causing me stress. I had a final discussion with him today about it and he went on abt how love isn’t enough for me…

Seeking feedback on GAP insurance. I had a family member who purchased a car in June or July. They were in an accident last week and it sounds like the car will be declared a total loss. Never dealt with this before, so wanted to ask if anyone has ever had an instance where the insurance didn't cover the outstanding balance of the loan and the insured then owed money? Car was $35k, $7k down, finance $28k. Gap insurance is through lender, not auto insurer.
