I wanna know something. If you stop messaging someone, does it count as ghosting them if they make zero attempts to contact you?

have never really fit in with anyone. And I find it to be true to this day. I've walked away from many people who I cared deeply for only to realize I never meant much to them. I don't think I've made much of an impact in anyone's life besides a mere passerby.

If they cheat for you, they'll cheat ON you

I am constantly meeting people and they end up disliking me due to my relationship having an age gap :/

So I've been seeing this wonderful woman for a little over a month. I can't stop thinking about her. I absolutely LOVE spending time with her. We have so much fun when we're together. I've nearly told her I love her multiple times recently. I feel like I probably do, but I'm not entirely sure what the difference is between love and infatuation. I mean, logically I know what the difference is, but it's hard to identify what I'm feeling. All I know is it feels pretty great. What do you guys think? How do you know if it's actually love? If it is love, what is an acceptable time to wait to confess love to someone you're dating?

What is missing and how can we fix these modern dating apps? Any thoughts and ideas on what can make a difference?

What to do

That the more chances you give to someone, the less they value you. They’re not afraid to lose you because they know no matter what, you won’t walk away . Never let someone get too comfortable with disrespecting you. Love yourself first😘

When your looking for a potential partner what is it your actually looking at? Looks, personality, intelligence, ambitions? What's your preference in a partner, and if they don't check all the boxes can you look past that?

Went to get some lunch yesterday and weirdly hit it off with the worker up front. Got my to go order and left a tip, a silly doodle, and a dumb joke with my number on the back of the receipt. She definitely read the joke and laughed before I walked out the back. Do you think I'll ever hear from her? It feels like a desperate move but you'll never know till you try?

I often ask myself how to manage the difference between sharing information about myself in order to establish a connection and oversharing certain things. For instance, is it oversharing if a guy asks me about my relationship history and I explain about certain trauma I've been through in those past relationships? It could be my anxiety talking but it's hard not to worry if certain information could "scare someone away".

I've never dated someone who has kids which is surprising nowadays. But I'm curious on advice and tips for people who have dated someone or they themselves dated with kids.
