We are extremely close to shutting down this thread for the same reasons the PUA thread was shut down. While some of the time this thread contains actual discussion with people asking help and people giving nice advice, it often gets derailed by rubbish that should not be here. The moderation team will be trying to steer this thread in a different direction from now on. Posts of the following nature are banned: 1) ANYTHING regarding PUA. If your post contains the words 'alpha' or 'beta' or anything of that sort please don't hit post. 2) Stupid brags. You can tell us about your nice success stories with someone, but posts such as 'lol 50 Tinder matches' are a no-no. 3) Any misogynistic bullshit, including discussion about rape culture. 4) One night stands and random sex. These are basically brags that invariably devolve into gender role discussions and misogynistic comments. Last chance, guys. This thread is for dating advice and sharing dating stories. While gender roles, sociocultural norms, and our biological imperative to reproduce are all tangentially related, these subjects are not the main purpose of the thread. Please AVOID these discussions. If you want to discuss them at length, go to PMs or start a blog. If you disagree with someone's ideologies, state that you disagree with them and why they won't work from a dating standpoint and move on. We will not tolerate any lengthy derailments that aren't directly about dating. | ||

I don't know, I've always had a better time when I go out or whatever without the intention of hooking up, with dating sites you know both sides want to date so its different, its just wierd for me... idk Yea I can relate, I am the type who would rather speak over the phone than text back and forth. I haven't tried it yet, so we'll see how it goes. I can assure you no one is paying me! (Although I am at work right now so I guess you could say I'm getting paid to waste company time on TL ![]() | ||

In my experience, even 20-21 yo girls tend to be quite immature, like most guys of this age anyway. Funnily enough, a friend of mine who is 22 just broke up with his 17 yo girlfriend after a few months, unsurprisingly. He wasn't the most mature guy either, but at some point their life and expectation were just miles apart, what can you do. As for online dating site, I expect them to take more and more place over time, wether I like it or not (I don't really). After all, aren't they replacing a lot of more traditionnal ways to meet your partner ? | ||

I was using my fake facebook so I guess if mutual friends is a prerequisite that could be the reason. Edit: Yea, signed in with my real one and found a bunch of matches. Now if I want to use it I'll have to find pictures of myself I want on there, which is hard because I have zero. | ||

This thread turned into the QuanticAuthority vs Cloudscreen shitstorm pretty fast. Get popcorn or pick a side or a pitchfork. Who needs funny dating stories or people asking advice when you can watch nerds throw shit at each other. My biggest problem right now is, that i managed to lock myself out of my appartment but don't want to ask my new girlfriend whether i can stay at her place for the night, because that might be understood as a move. I can still ask mom! | ||

I hate asking people out by text, especially if it's someone you have known for quite some time now (2+ years) But I don't think I will get any opportunity to meet her any time soon. Thursday she mighttt be going out. But I'm not sure. Wait until thursday and if she won't go out just ask her by text? Just casually start a convo with her on whatsapp (really, who texts nowadays, furthermore it has become the most used communication program in the Netherlands for a while now). I don't know the setting in which you last saw her, but just talk a bit about the last time you saw her and that you should go out sometime soon. If you're lucky she will respond by saying that she's going or that she might be going on thursday and that you should come with (It really depends on the situation though). The worst thing you can do is nothing, since you will be stuck liking her, not knowing what she thinks about you. Which makes it very hard, if not impossible to get over her, or to get with her ![]() | ||

Anyway, when asking her out. I really want it to be quite clear what my intentions are(a date). If she's going out with her friends on thursday as well already that won't obviously be very clear. | ||

Just make sure you know where she is going and let her know that you might be coming aswell with some friends (take some friends with you). This way you don't come off as 'desperate' and can give her the 'hot and cold shoulder'. Since you're already texting, it won't be weird. Once at the club (or bar) you can snatch her away from her friends for a while for a drink and some dancing. You have to fill in the rest for yourself ![]() | ||

I personally prefer the I'm going somewhere, you should come, style rather than the "hey you wanna go somewhere with me?" | ||

Moms couch is good :D | ||

Things should go two ways, and you should make her realize that. It's normal to crave other partners from time to time, especially if you are both young and the fact that she vocalizes it is good, at least she isn't cheating behind your back. I think its a good idea not to jump the gun here and to really evaluate how serious she is about this. Talking it out is always good. In some ways, this could even be her 'testing' you to see how attached you are to her. Don't take it lying down, but don't just give up either. Yeah yeah she mentioned the idea of having sex with other partners and that i could do that too. But personnally i'm not interested in this, i've never been chasing after girls and always end up naturally meeting people in places i usually spend time at. When i go in a bar it's just to play pool or foozball... Anyway 9 days left here and then the long distance test will start; attractive as she is (it's crazy the amount of guys that try to hit on her or show interest, must be tiresome sometimes to get so much attention ) i'll know within one month if she really meant it or not i guess :p | ||

Hey i'm going to the movies, alone, which nobody every does, you should come! Might as well be straight up. Dinner and/or Movie are terrible first dates tho, hell I wouldn't do either til like 3rd-4th and I've hit it a few times. They can both be so awkward til you two are really comfortable with each other to keep a conversation going during long dinner waits or 2 hours of near silence at a theater. | ||
