  • Ghosted by a guy I thought I had a strong connection with but was very physically affectionate on our first dates and suddenly changed his tone - should I follow up?

  • Incredibly disgusting and cheap behavior if not with genuine intentions over longer term, when that is literally what they said out loud. I was sad and now I'm more so angry. What if all these single guys around my age (I would say I'm older than the age of settling down as expected by society) are just in it for casual? Or the ones that are genuine, I don't find attractive for xyz reason? That is terrifying.

  • Me again. What if me addressing that topic where we didn't see eye to eye can fix whatever this is though? Or do you think that never works and it would just make me feel worse since he will likely ignore that message too? Part of the frustration is my hyperfocusing on this too when there are million other things to get to.

  • You're so right, thank you! I'm already exhausted and he happens to be the first one I met in person after recently reluctantly getting back into dating.

  • Love this analogy, thank you! And yes he is, if that.

  • Thank you for your advice! Unbelieveable how misleading he was throughout this whole situation. I think he himself is confused and needs to work on aligning his actions with his words. His dating intention description started as not publicly shared on his profile, then to "Long-term relationship, open to short term" then "Long-term relationship" when interacting with me more, now disappeared again. I know everyone who commented is right, but it feels so frustrating and that I got the short end of the stick for no good reason. At least I saw his red flags and spoke up even if it was a step slower.

  • Thank you so much! I was already wracking my brain trying to figure out what I did so wrong in such a short period of time to warrant this huge shift and wondering how someone can be so careless with their actions. I have been clear from the start about my intentions, spelling it out on my profile, and guys just seem to want to challenge me for some thrill that they're not going to get. I really hope it's not just boys left out there but so far it's been slim pickings.

  • Thank you for sharing! I think you're totally right but I'm just baffled at the lengths to which he went in stringing me along for this waste of time. He would pull out all the stops during our date, sweet little gestures that felt thoughtful. He even started by saying he's looking for a long-term relationship after getting know people and seeing who's most compatible, and he seemed completely genuine. When he casually dropped the line about a few situationships on our very first interaction, no wonder my gut took a turn.

  • What do you cook when you want to impress your guests?

    Jump

  • Either steak or salmon but depends on the guest like others have mentioned. I usually also enjoy putting my own spin on the recipe, like adding a spice or making it more citrusy etc

  • I once was preparing to have a calm wine night with my friend but somehow managed to break the neck of the bottle when trying to take the cork out. Blood went everywhere, and I started to get dizzy. My friend was shocked, amused, and amazed by my strength all at the same time. I believe she mentioned The Hulk at some point. We didn't get a single drop of wine. I was given orange juice and asked to rest. All of this happened when I was completely sober by the way. I have never gotten close to repeating that again and, to this day, still don't fully understand how it happened in the first place
