Serious discussion — guys I would love to ask for your help abt something...so I was using a dating app about 2 months ago and I matched with a cute girl there, our vibes matched, we exchanged socials and then after a day…
One thing I'll say is that in the early stages of dating you aren't actually seeing a person's natural "energy"; you're seeing their energy when they're flying blind under the pressure of courtship an…
Bester Username 😂🤍 your reply filled me with so much pride and joy 🥺😩❣️🫂 you are doing the work. I am soo happy and glad to hear that 🤍🤍🤍 And YES! Thank you, very well worded. Your ex's *acti…
I can't ever develop anything for people I meet online because my attraction doesn't grow that way. If I meet someone, like their vibes, and there's chemistry, I'll like them. On an app? It's appearan…
Giving the Lost vibes.
Thank you I just love everything you wrote. I felt like despite liking me a lot, my ex DA would sometimes talk as if he had contempt towards me. As for one friend she definitely had some kind of "Im b…
I am a FA learnt secure, and I'll say almost half of the women I have dated are avoidants. Ken Reids and Dr Sarah Hensley have given lots of advice on this. I'll paraphrase them: 1) Ask them early,…
what about her was avoidant exactly ? because i'm not really getting avoidant vibes from her. a first casual date is not usually where avoidants shine. they usually show their true colors after three …
Yeah, I get avoidant vibes from her as well. That's deadly for an FA
That's a really difficult load to bear, I'm sorry that you went through that. I don't think it's because you meant nothing, that's exactly how dismissive avoidants work, they only process the loss muc…
The second to last paragraph here is so important. I didn't truly start healing until I realized that I was treating relationships like they were something I could react correctly to rather than corre…
Your ex is 30 yrs older than you?! And you got together when you were a little older than the new guy he brought in….and then he brings in someone 40yrs younger than him???? Sorry your ex sounds creep…
If you only just met the person and the vibes are off, it might be sixth sense. If this mans already fooled you twice, baby that's just common sense 😭
What I've done after being discarded by an avoidant was literally change up my requirements for the sort of man I'm looking for. My ex had a brilliant mind, but also deep insecurities, anxiety, childh…
Nailed it. Avoidant vibes
I honestly don’t know why everyone here is automatically assuming he’s not avoidant because his ways don’t fit the cookie cutter presentation of an avoidant. Everyone is different and no one here know…
No it's not a boundary at all for me and same for most avoidants I've known. It's only annoying if it's so much when I'm not answering that it's an overwhelming pile up. Or if it's a lot of "are you o…
okay so I actually think I lean more towards anxious preoccupied attachment now… not that ChatGPT is always right but I used it not too long ago when I questioned my attachment style tbh and it made s…
Sending good vibes!!! 😎
I'm sorry that happened to you. It must take a lot of strength to try again, I wish you the best. Where I am hinge has the nicest vibes, definitely. People treat you a bit more like a human when comp…
I wasted 4 years of my life on a connection similar to this. Sex fades and resentment builds. I'd absolutely bail asap, and meet someone that vibes with your values more.
I thibk thats gonna change depending on the person and isnt really quantifiable. Its gonna be super vibes based rather than 3 dates / 6 weeks ect.
No I'm picking up on some bitter vibes tbh. On the other hand he pursues me pretty heavily. He even crafted me a gift. I'll see it through and keep talking to others. I feel bad taking to others but I…
I think if the way you talk about your partner online would offend your partner, you probably shouldn’t be with them. Edit: also it just sounds like bad vibes id cut it, and I think therapy maybe hel…
I’m on a few apps casually but I don’t rely on them. They’re moreso for just killing time when I’m bored and when I do get matches they’re usually duds that don’t actually message back or we chat for …
So I had a great two hour first date over brunch last weekend, after being introduced by a mutual friend. He messaged that evening to say he had a wonderful time. A bit of back and forth, then he stop…
You probably didn't read the vibes wrong. He changed his mind for whatever reason later on. Super lame he stopped responding to you when you have mutual friends.
I went on a second date last night. Our first date was fine, but the second date was just horrible. Vibes were off, for the both of us, and it was just not a good time. He asked if he could kiss me af…
Had two great dates with a new guy last week, was very excited. Checked all the boxes, good chemistry, good vibes. This week was a bit unimpressed by lack of intentional communication, met up again y…
I'm pretty sure you're misunderstanding the word "connection". A lot of the time, it's simply shorthand for attraction or lack of attraction. Unrealistic expectations play a role in the challenges of …
Are you on the apps? Or in any hobby groups? Or go out socialising? I’m not saying it’s easy even if you do all those, but I guess the more you do those the better the chances. I do understand how y…
Not me. Some personality coming across as matching my vibes is equally as important as looks for me. I'm sure there's loads of introverted men out there who'd swipe right on you. Are you looking for …
Sometimes when I’m getting to know a guy I will feel the spark pretty immediately…and then ONE thing will immediately wipe it out. For example, I was chatting with a match yesterday and I was feeling …
8 dates without any physical advances at all? Is there any flirtatious tension or it's 100% pure platonic vibes?
Every time I've given someone a chance because I couldn't put my finger on a solid reason not to go on the date (beyond "vibes"), I've very very quickly found the solid reason and wished I had just st…
Thank you! Sending good vibes to you! ❤️
I have my date coming for Saturday. The vibes could vary but we’ll see. I started talking to this other woman[36F] from Facebook dating and we’ve been hitting it off well by texting. I’m curious to…
My ex unintentionally gave Kirishima vibes from Yakuza Fiancé sometimes. Their gap was sooooo cute. I was obsessed. We were obsessed with each other. Ugh I miss them so much
I might be single but I can't wait for Valentines Day. One of my friends is hosting an emo anti Vday party and most of us in our friend group are single so we're gonna have a party together. I plan …
Hell yeah!! Bring. Those. Vibes. Sounds like a great night, not gonna lie. Music AND baked goods?? Sign me up!
Not dating related, but absolutely mood and vibes related. We’ve had rain every single day this year in the UK, and my god is it depressing! I need some vitamin D. I need to go somewhere to see with m…
Is he a bad texter or just not interested? He has been consistently planning dates but on week 4, I started noticing his lack of interest on text; slow and dry replies. The vibes are kinda off. What…
It may feel easier now to wait and see if it continues. I know I used to do that and I get it. However, when I did that I was participating and fostering a dynamic that had bad communication. One thi…
I’m sending good vibes and good weather your way!
I will try to do this, I just don't know how to change the vibes up haha
What is it he's doing that is like someone who is romantically interested? Can you ask him to refrain from that kind of stuff if he's not romantically interested? It's up to you to communicate where …
I would expect you’re not as done processing the breakup as you think you are. you got out of a 10 year relationship, that’s gonna take some time to heal from. i’m sure your friend had good intentio…
My last ex was like this and it made me feel really weird after a while. Tbh he was bi but I got the vibes he might be gay. Either that or probably a porn problem. I couldn’t really bring it up either…
>Tbh he was bi but I got the vibes he might be gay. Reapectfully, Thats such a cliched thought stemming from insecurity that I sigh while laughing. Its such a common fear and never actually the case…
SO cute, love it when the conversation/vibes feel comfy and cozy. I love that for you. How'd you meet?
This might be another way of him saying that he tries to screen people effectively pre-date and then doesn't overrely on first date sparkles/vibes as a way of assessing compatibility, he wants at leas…
