So met this guy on dating app
He wanted to take me out for dinner and drinks and I agreed
Then he said:
"Ok cool, I will pick u up on Saturday night 😊"

We talked more
And we were actually connecting and sounds like a good, fun guy to talk to
And I told him how I get offered money from sugardaddies on the app

Then he joke around like this:

Why offer to pick me up then? If he's not joking around

I've noticed something really odd with my friends if the person they just started talking to or dating is extremely attractive to them. They're willing to overlook things like personality, basic manners, sometimes even red flags or cheating. So I just wanted to know if you had to date someone, but they were a 10 in your opinion. How much would you put up with

We speak of things like racial reference vs. racism, homosexuality vs. sexism, etc. So, if a woman is only attracted to men does that mean she is voluntarily being sexist or that it's involuntary and she feels only led to like men? If a man prefers women of another race besides his own, does that mean he's racist or voluntarily excluding his own or that it's just what he likes and he has no control over that? (same if he excluded a race that wasn't his own so you get the picture)
This also leads into how some people say the "standards are too high." Obviously these people who say this tend to be the ones who are seen as unattractive. So consider that so many different types of people find this one person unattractive yet go with others who some would say are actually less attractive than that first one.
And I bring this up to say that the hypocrisy is real in this. Many people will criticize someone they want to be with simply for that person rejecting them due to something like not being physically attracted to his/her race, but when it comes to them, such as their sexual orientation, then all of a sudden it's a different story.

If the answer is more along the lines of being open-minded, then how open-minded is too open-minded?

My boyfriend has been late ever since the first day I met him even back then he was 20 minutes late and I thought that he was going to ditch me. He still is late every time that we meet today for example he is one hour and 40 minutes late and I’m still waiting. I don’t feel mad just pretty sad and like maybe he doesn’t want to spend time with me. I’ve been dressed up for a while now. Still waiting

Which one matters to you more in a relationship?

Would you date a person with a unattractive body but a beautiful face?
Or would you rather date a person with a beautiful body, but a unattractive face?

Please don't say "both" or "none"...

I'm from Cyprus (Turkish) and my boyfriend is from Italy.
My boyfriend has a white skin with dark brown hair and I have a light olive skin.
Recently, I have seen my boyfriend putting likes for posts like ( Italians don't look like Turkish, and Italians look more like North Europeans). He seems like to want to be far from my ethnicity or I felt like he got offended for being mistaken as turkish. I really cannot understand and I don't know how can I open this issue with him because it's just a like not something he posts. Does that mean he is racist toward my ethnicity and I shouldn't have dated him from the first place? Am i being sensitive?
He also talks about how bad ottomans were ! and how Turkish people invaded greece!
I'm really confused , and I don't understand what's going on in his mind. He says he loves me and he wants to marry me but?

We were only speaking on a dating app for maybe 2 days but he was responsive. I have on my bio that I want to keep things virtual for now until COVID ends. And since we had a good convo going, I wanted to give him that FYI again. So last night I asked if he read my bio and he said yes. And I said just making sure and he hasn’t responded since. I think he’s no longer interested, as soon as I said that, he ghosted

Well, guys, I'm giving you an opportunity to vent here. I know this is a common problem.
You, most often, have to do the approaching, if you want anything to happen in your life, romantic relationship-wise. So then you are on the receiving end of trying to figure out whether girls reciprocate interest or not.

Say you like someone. You tell them. They don't give you a clear idea of how they feel about you, or how they feel about your feelings towards them.

Think in these terms:

• How important is it for you to know this?
• How much time can/will you give them?
• Is it better having some contact with them, developing a friendship with them, or waiting to see if they will develop feelings for you... or would you always rather know immediately, cut your losses, and not spend more time waiting or hanging out with them?
• When is it worth the gamble, and when is it just annoying and a waste of time?
• Do you always feel one way, that it falls one way, typically, or is each situation different/unique?
• Will you ever be content with being just friends?

so, I met a guy through friends and my friends set me up with him. He lives 2 hours away and he got my number through my friends and contacted me. We text for a week and we decided to meet. He does works a lot and he is pretty busy but he would text me in the morning or evenings when he was less busy. So, during we met and which he drove to my city and was really polite. I was trying to ask what he wants to do but he would keep telling me "its up to you". We spend 2 hours talking. I took my credit card out to pay for both of us since he came to visit me but he didn't let me pay and he paid all.
I thanked him and we left.

That evening I texted him that I had a great time and thanking him again to which replied he is glad that I had fun. It has been 5 days now and he didn't even text me. He watches my stories on social media but won't initiate the text? Should I delete him and move on?
