The fact that she brought it up so early, to me, is a green flag. Those who have been repeatedly hurt by FAs would say it’s a green flag in a sea of red, but IMO to be able to openly have discussions …

Yeah not speaking for days is weird. 

Often feelings are going to be mismatched. So what? How you respond to their bid for connection is what matters. I would never turn down such a clear bid for connection from someone I care about. It c…

I think that would be very cute but I understand the concern about his kids. Nothing is weird. You should go by what feels right to you, and if people don't like it it's not for you. The real trick i…

I identify as a big texter, but if I knew someone had a demanding job I would definitely not get mad if they didn’t reply immediately. People are weird.

Yeah, queen_izzy’s mom! Recognise your daughter’s weirdness, please! (Also, we’re all weird. Signed, a weird dude)

You absolutely have a point. I stopped talking about my relationship with my friends because I don’t think we align on what we’re looking for. They have the tendency to project themselves into my rela…

I never know how to feel about those interactions - it is kind of flattering to get the compliment, but when it’s a guy that old, it also is a bit icky for me. I want to be nice and I don’t think they…

That's so fucking weird. Some people seemingly get so infatuated with a profile they do this. I always wonder why people add their Instagram usernames; they must get inundated.

Yeah, I just find it weird. 😂

Don’t tell someone they look fit. That’s kind of weird. But flirting is hard. Sometimes you have to just fail miserably until you learn how to do it.

Maybe bots / ai then. Weird.

Whilst discussing weekend plans I vaguely mentioned to an OLD match (that I haven't yet met) that I was part of a club. They have now found and joined that club. There's no rule that they shouldn't jo…

That’s weird. Like two weeks ago I got a like from a guy on a dating app and before I had even had the chance to accept or reject it, he had already sent me a follow request on Instagram. Some people …

Super weird. In fact, I would try to go out of my way to avoid doing that. If I guy I match with mentions he goes to a particular bar or spot, I would be so weirded out by the idea of looking like I b…

Ah. Yeah that changes the calculus a bit. It's my experience that Pittsburghers are very attached to their hometown. And considering that you've only been dating a couple of months, her moving is a ha…

I'm in the not sure camp and it's a bit weird. I get a sense that people do not pay attention to it at all. I've had guys start talking about "when I have kids" and not even ask me where I stand on th…

Confirming this is weird.

I've recently learned that that me never attending any wedding in my late 30s is weird. So yes, never married, no kids, strongly leaning into childfree concept.

It's weird.

Man: Wow, you're beatiful! You must be asked out a lot! Woman: Actually, I'm not Man (to himself): That's weird. Why? What is it in her that I'm missing but others don't?

Thanks. I’ve been thinking of going out and taking photos. I actually have a selfie stick/tripod with a timer. I just get self conscious and feel like it’ll be weird. And I would ask friends but long …

It's like saying 1 hour on an app didn't find you a date... depends on the app, your attitude, and your preferences. In my book club of 20, I've never seen a guy, 1/3 are married, 1/3 are almost mar…

What the hell? That’s so weird. I feel like that honestly says a lot about him, to be honest. And not in a positive sense. That would rub me up the wrong way

Well today was fun. Before Christmas my OBGYN referred me and my now ex to a fertility specialist. Well, we just got scheduled for an appointment next month. Pity we broke up in January. How brutall…
