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. | ||

The fiancee and I took a little getaway to a city 40 minutes away (Hoboken), where we rented a suite, had some great dinner reservations last night and two nights ago, found an awesome deli for lunch, watched Deadpool, got professional massages and spa treatments, went to a famous bakery to get some great pastries (Carlo's Bakery... from the Cake Boss tv show) and today we went on a bunch of chocolate and wine tasting tours Right now she's making me dinner, consisting of filet mignon, three-cheese gnocchi, stuffed mushrooms, and tons of cheeses  | ||

Okcupid and tinder possibly? Depends on what you are looking for probably. Tinder if you're good looking and mostly want to get laid/something casual. Okcupid otherwise. | ||

It's not an "afraid of commitment thing" because it's only with this girl. While we aren't friends (I don't consider her a friend, she told me she doesn't consider me a friend, and we never do friend stuff) we trust each other a lot...like telling us things we haven't told anyone else lot. And we obviously have feelings for each other. The thing is.. we couldn't date before for other reasons, no details, but now it looks like this may be out chance...but I find myself afraid.. Like I said, we don't consider each other friends but this might be similar to the "friendzone" in the sense that if things go wrong...I wouldn't want to lose someone I trust so much... If things go well that would be excellent of course, but at 21-22 years old, it's unlikely to have a happy ending. I think it doesn't helps to see the relationships other friends have, where they fight all the time/cheat and have not so great experiences overall. And my past experiences doesn't help either. Though I hadn't had this problem with any other girl until now. I obviously know I shouldn't be afraid...but how can I overcome that fear? | ||

2. Why are relationships with 21-22 year olds "unlikely to have a happy ending" in your opinion? Are you planning on waiting until you're 30 before you take a stab at finding "the one"? | ||

Relationships at this age, from what I've seen from people around me, don't last very long and are very problematic. I know there is no perfect relationship or "happily ever after" but from what I've seen it's only around when you are out of college that relationships are mature enough to really work. Of course there are exceptions. | ||

and yeah relationships under 25 I would say do have a greater chance of failing, often spectacularly, for various reasons. doesn't mean you don't try, but just be aware of when shit is going south and be ready to act if so. | ||

Relationships are opportunities for personal growth. yup this x100 basically all the friends i know who are that age now that didn't get their dumb rockstar relationships out of the way then are going through it now if you're dating a friend, just be extra cautious to not be a shithead and in the event of it failing, you can find a way to make it work | ||
