Separation/space/distance triggers feelings of loneliness and abandonment and even though you aren't breaking up, you may self sabotage to either reconnect to feel connected or to breakup first. Here'…

I was in a similar relationship like that. She was also Anxious and also spoke to me like I was a child needing direction and she did that with her parents as well. I couldn’t do anything wrong. I cou…

He was awesome the first couple months, texting me good morning every day. It was initiating, even if it was a breadcrumb. Nowadays he’ll text with me allll dayyyy long but I have to text him first, h…

I have a particular kind of disdain for dragging out contact with someone you’re not into, just because the attention seems nice. It is *palpable* when someone isn’t into you. Everyone is lonely, bu…

I’m new here… wanted to ask some advice. I’ve been dating a man for a year and he is also my coworker. We had kind of a bumpy road, and have even broken up twice in Aug and then September but came bac…

Has anyone had success meeting someone IRL? I (33F) feel like meeting organically in the wild would make life so much easier than dating apps, but doesn't actually happen? Maybe in larger cities? I fe…

He just said "good morning princess" lol

The obligatory good morning texts are kind of maddening. It's just one more task to complete in the busy morning, then I don't have time to text her while at work anyway. This is true even though I r…

When did obligatory good morning texts even become a thing? It’s kinda weird when you think about it

I have only ever dated one person who did the “good morning” texts. I don’t think they’re important to receive. You should let her know you don’t care for them, if you haven’t yet. If it feels like a …

Good morning ;)

I've told her I'm not a big texter, but she's also told me she wants good morning texts. Might be time to discuss that again. We've been friends for a few months, but only started dating since Valent…

What is your qualm with the good morning text? Is it because you feel forced to send them? 

Good morning America, you're in war.

Past couple of weeks have been tough. I've been seeing a guy since mid Jan. Saw him a total of 8 times in the first four weeks. He's sweet and respectful, good communicator, good cook, we generally …

The shift in texting styles between matches is giving me some serious whiplash lol. My previous relationship was constantly texting. We exchanged numbers the day we matched and quickly got off the a…

Welp, there goes the relationship I was hoping for. I’d gotten mixed signals over the last 3 months, but he told me early on that he was a slow burn dater, so I thought things just needed to move at h…

I had a really nice first date last night with a guy who's displaying ALL the green flags. Good conversation, really positive affirmation of interest during the date, texted quickly afterward to ask f…

I don't like texting early on in dating. As long as plans are scheduled, there isn't really a reason to be saying "good morning" or asking about their day over text. It just feels transactional. Event…

I posted here yesterday asking for advice as the woman I’m dating smelled awful down there. I spoke to her on the phone yesterday about it, I said something along the lines of “we’ve been dating for a…

What exactly is wrong with her texting? I personally don’t care for texting as long as plans are made to see each other. Early on while dating someone I might send a check-in text at the end of the da…

Thank you so much 🫶🏻 yes exactly, like it’s one thing to ghost after one date (it’s happened to me, no harm no foul), but after weeks of basically playing boyfriend/girlfriend, talking about introdu…

Still annoyed as hell about my dating dynamic. Due to weather and work travel (and lack of effort on his part, I feel), I’m coming up on three weeks without seeing the guy I’ve been seeing for three m…

I personally do not like mindless chatter over text (I am a chatterbox in real life). If you share something related to something we talked about or connected over, that is awesome. But a how is …

Yeah same here, I don't miss my Ex anymore, but I miss the deep connections we had, the "I love yous" "good mornings" and the deep late night chats about our love for each other. She was the last one …

It's heartbreaking, I've been there too, and I don't have a support system of close friends or family because I immigrated. A key thing for me was to build a self-care toolkit. This was mentally in …

The person that I've been seeing for a month is on vacation for a week and even though there's quite a bit of time zone difference between us, we've been checking in to say good mornings/have a good d…

I really like someone. I am trying not to come off as a love bomber, but I am very generous by nature. I love giving gifts, dropping off flowers, sending good morning texts. Deep breaths. The fu…

I'm nine days in with green-flag guy, and so far that has included: * Three wonderful dates * Him attending a concert I sang in (not counting this as a separate date since we were only together for \…

Good morning. Very well articulated. I really hope OP sees that someone like him is never going to change, but wants others to, and will never be happy with the result!

The guy I posted about in here earlier this week still hasn’t made a plan for this evening but has still had light texting here and there. Said good morning today. Ughhhhh

Well I sat on work crush’s phone number for a week and finally needed to text her for something the other morning. She hasn’t been in the office this week for the most part but we texted most of Wedne…

I’d say you’re just not interested enough. I’ve gotten those seemingly copy+paste “good morning ☀️” texts from people I like and people I don’t, and the later are way more annoying. Then the ones I …

Yes, of course, how can you be THAT interested in anyone after 1-2 dates, anyways to constantly text them "good morning"? Every single frigging day! What is this dating reality, really? Aren't we su…

Exactly this. You text only if anything actively interacting or important happening or to set plans and goals.  Constant reels, links, cute pics, selfies, "good morning, gorgeous" stuff is so not me.
