You wrote a lot of words. But do you know whats missing until your 2nd to last sentence? Anything that isn't physical.  You've passed the first test, which is attraction. But you need to start focus…

I think it’s more a combination of both. I don’t recall her asking me a single question tonight and i think curiosity is a big sign of interest

I feel you. The way you describe the way I felt about my ex boyfriend. He was kind, sweet, and a nice person. He did not hurt me. He was introverted. He enjoyed his boredom and silence. We were out fo…

Just out of curiosity and some sweet inspiration, what are some cute/loving names you are using for someone you are dating?

nah, call it off. the people pleasing is going to turn into resentment pretty quickly, especially if you have to drive 2 hours. i'd reframe that question as whether physical chemistry matters in LTR…

Was talking to a guy from out of town. It was fun for a while and if he tried a little harder he would have been very interesting and could have gone somewhere. He was highly educated but wasn't passi…

That must be so frustrating and exhausting! I'm sorry to hear it. I think a lot of people are just tired from dating. It feels like everyone is trying to protect themselves from rejection and disappo…

Just curiosity on my part: those cases where it didn't improve, did you talk about how you like your kisses or were you hoping it would improve without having to say anything? I've been told I'm a go…

I think you guys may just need to up your communication game? I just started reading this book by the gottmans called eight dates. It really breaks down communication in a way that I’ve never even con…

what? you don't like a lack of curiosity? you don't like watching men play video games for your entertainment? c'mon what's not to love ab that lol feeling the dealbreaker of this whole thang more an…

Same. Curiosity is super important to me. If you don’t ask about me or want to know more about me, it’s a no-go.

So I told him (the guy I am seeing) about the communication (lack of it). That I connect with someone through communication and I feel like communication have been quite minimal between us (like curio…

I think this seems like it could be one of those conflicts that brings you closer as you learn more about each other. The way you both communicated afterwards seems healthy and empathetic, which is …

Genuine curiosity, both ways. Like you are so curious about what makes them tick and why, what makes them happy and why, what their struggles are and why. And vice versa. There doesn't need to be -…

I feel like there's two things that drive this: * Being afraid of outright rejection. This can still sting because the asynchronous nature of dating apps allows us to build up excitement and fantasy …

I'm 4 days post an Okay (not great, but not terrible) second date with a new guy. I posted before about how he seemed very excited to have matched with me and how we both have adhd so he felt understo…

I don't think it's necessary to talk about past sexual history at all unless it's somehow directly relevant to my current relationship. Knowing how many people I've slept with, other men's dick size, …

Just out of curiosity, do women find men with long hair attractive? Made a decision to grow my hair out this year, back to shoulder length the way I had it when I was 18.

Overall I think it looks good! But the green flags prompt feels like a waste of space-not that those things aren't important it just feels kind of generic. I feel like I see something along the lines …
