I can’t think of anything actually terrible right now, but once I had a guy tell me after our first date that he didn’t realize I had a dog, and then seemed to pause like I might suggest getting rid of her 🤣 The dog is in my dating app profile pics and my profile references “my dog.”

Got rid of the man, kept the dog ❤️

likeuplifting

My dog will always come first. Period.

I did not go on a date with a guy after he told me he wasn’t a dog person. He thought I was being ridiculous.

A guy and I discussed being done with FWBs and wanting to try actually dating. Same conversation he asked me out on a “real date.”
I was excited, so, so excited. I really liked him.
He was an hour late, changed the venue from somewhere nice to somewhere on the same block as his apartment, and when I brought up that I felt like it was feeling like just another FWB meetup, and asked how he actually felt about me, he wouldn’t answer and just tried to kiss me instead. I told him that if he wouldn’t even talk to me, that I was sorry but I should leave.
And that’s the story of my best friend coming to pick me up from a guy’s apt at 2am while I just cried.
I hadn’t felt a connection like that in years. We had been “friends” for 6 years and FWBs for almost 2 years at that point. I never heard from him after that night. Now I see that maybe we were never friends at all, since people are usually kinder to their friends.
I know I dodged a bullet, but that’s one of my hardest rejections because I felt like he was playing me for a fool AND because I felt like I lost a friend as well.
We could have been good together, but I’m just fine without him. His loss.

I get what your saying but they were friends for years before though so I mean I think they were real friends.

If he wanted an excuse out of a friendship just do it normal but I think the fwb part doesn’t really matter to her. I think the friendship part is what she is mostly referring to

I’m a vegetarian.

It’s mostly a challenge when his (my husband, not the guy who rejected me for being vegetarian) whole family (all meat eaters) or my family (mostly vegetarians and/or vegans) try to eat with us. Then, there’s a lot of “Well, what will so-and-so eat?” But when it’s just my husband and I, we are able to easily accommodate one another.

I agree and kinda disagree with SA1. I feel like if you don’t match you should be able to make it up in other forms.

I hate public pda and some people understand while others don’t. Doesn’t mean my other love languages don’t make up for it.

I had a crush on a girl. It's been almost 2 years since I confessed my feelings to her and today she told me that she likes me too.
The only issue is she's a Muslim and I'm a Hindu. She believes we don't have a future and that's why she took a long time to confess. She is confused on what to do and even I am confused because things will actually be difficult for obvious reasons.
Please advice on what we should do now.
Should we part ways or should we fight for it?

I feel like I am very naive and cannot read between the lines, so I can’t tell if someone is trying to fuck me over or not. This leads me to be extremely skeptical of others’ intentions, and makes me less confident that I can influence others, and in general really erodes my self-confidence. Does anyone else feel similarly? If so, how have you dealt with it?
