I’m 26 and never had a boyfriend. So I’m confused , once you get a boyfriend , the girl just tells him let’s meet my family and he says yes? what if he says no and never agrees to meet family after a year or longer? Do you continue dating him many years or dump him? I see all girls bring bfs to family holdiays Easter Thanksgiving Christmas , bday parties, attend Restraunts with family and bring her boyfriend, how they do all that? How does a guy agree to all that? I assume if a girl shows up to all those events alone she would be single.

or maybe I don’t know as I never had a boyfriend? I never had a guy say we are offical couple. ☹️

I recently met a man on a dating app, and things were going great with him initially. Within the last week, he went utterly radio silent in communicating with me (even through text). I confronted him about it a couple of days before our 3rd date, and he disclosed how he had a situation with someone else he was seeing (we weren't exclusive) where it affected him so severely that he didn't have it in him to talk to anyone for that long. I thought that was weird since, on the 2nd date, he disclosed that he liked me and only needed a few more dates before asking me to be his official girlfriend. I didn't see a point in him speaking to other women either since our goal of dating is marriage, and we have similar goals.

I met with him today for our 3rd date, and the date was okay. We weren't as expressive as we were during our 2nd date, but we had good conversations. I asked him about his intentions with me since I was confused about the other situation, and he told me that we were on dates and would see if he wanted me to be his girlfriend. He asked if I told my family about him, which I said not really since he and I aren't in a relationship. Then, he disclosed that he showed a picture of me to his family and told them about me, and they said, "She's a pretty lady."

I don't know what this means at all. I don't know if that's a good sign that he likes me and will ask me to be his girlfriend soon or not. I know he has a good relationship with his family, so I think they might've asked if he found someone, and that's why he showed me, but I'm just assuming. We haven't had sex or even kissed throughout our dates, but that's boundaries we set up to ensure that we are genuinely compatible besides that aspect for now. What do you think?

2 of my friends are divorced or just never got married. They are having the hardest time finding someone worth dating.

All the guys want is sex and the girls wants love and a relationship!

Blocking and breaking up is an unforgivable sin if a girl or boy does it after they make them fall in love with them or date them or after they have been in relationship with them. Agree? I believe that a person shouldn't start a love if they are willing to leave the other person at some point in future when they get bored or due to any other reason. If they do it after they made the other person fall in love with them, it's never forgivable. Because a person if they started love with the other person they should be willing to stay even after they get bored or if they are getting attracted to other girls or guys. Getting attracted to other girls or guys is never a valid reason for breaking another person's heart who trusted this person a lot. Why to give them trust of love when they are willing to break it at some point of life? Also a person shouldn't fall in love with an inconsistent girl or guy at the beginning itself so that they can avoid becoming victims of these playboys and playgirls actions. Do you agree with what all I mentioned?
