Im a shy guy..
and there's this girl who i find attractive, and she is always so nice and funny.
one day she was smiling at me and as an idiot i made no ieye contact and started to get nervous as she noticed and asked me why i never made eye contact with no one. well i made a fool out of my self.

She's been having some back problems. After mentioning it to me a couple of times I've messaged back the other day saying I found some braces I use to use and looked up some massage techniques (being a physical therapist) if she'd like some help.

I got the ' awww doofgoof you're too kind :)' along with how she's gone and saw a professional earlier in the day etc.

When I hear the mentioned phrase, I've always ran for the hills knowing I've been friendzoned. Is it any different here? We've always been flirting, teasing and definitely signs of interest there and this is the first time I've probable shown a nice gesture to her on top.

I've seen a lot of questions lately with the OP being of a certain race trying to pander to the affections of white men, which always comes across as sad to me... mainly because it seems to always come from a place of desperation to move up the social ladder, which is all neatly concealed behind motives that appear innocent at face value (which is done in order to dodge open criticism). So now I'm kind of curious as to what people think of the question i've asked here.

Well here's the situation, I'm bisexual but not out the closet. I'd like to come out to increase my chances with men but I still like women, if not more.

I've been told by friends online that straight women won't date bisexual men, how true is this and can you explain your thoughts on it? I don't want to come out if it'll ruin my chances with women.

If you're bi and experienced this as a man, please comment too.

I went on a first date four days ago with a lovely girl but it was a hot day/I was nervous. I could not stop sweating :( my forehead was particularly bad. We left each other on good terms and she initiated a hug. I thought all was well but I have text her twice. Once after the date to say it was lovely to be able to spend time with her and another (Yesterday) asking her out tomorrow and have had no response. Did I do something wrong?

To make this short: I don't get this girl, who's interested in me, and i'm gonna list everything she does/has said to me

- I asked her once why we barely hang, she says she rarely leaves her house. What I find odd tho is the rare times she does leave her house, she spends it with her guy friend (of 8 years, so i dont mind) or she's doing something else. My logic is she would invite me out during those times she rarely leaves right?

- She is getting professional help for her alcoholism. She says she "Feels awkward and uncomfortable hanging with me" because she wants to stay single and not develop feelings.

-She tells me she has social anxiety, and even going to a starbucks by herself is hard

- whenever i'd ask her to hang, she'd always say "idk" or "maybe" or "We'll see". i finally confronted her and asked why she always says those answers, i asked her if it's just a polite no. she says she means her answers cause "her mood always changes about hanging out" but what does that even mean? lol

-She's asked me to hang out 3 times in total. one of them fell through, 2 of them she flaked out on

-She's pretty neutral/slightly flirty when i flirt with her, but i haven't seen her in an entire month

- i asked her one time "i know you said guys you meet online, some of them you rarely hang with some of them you hang with alot, why not me?" and she goes "jesus christ im tired of repeating myself" (repeating herself as in "idk" or "maybe" etc)

I might add more later, but please, any opinions? I feel like i'm being played/strung along for attention sometimes. Only thing i know is she has never lied to me once, and she told me (when i first got her #) she's been screwed over so much she wouldn't do that to anyone else

Also if anyone can think of a way i can ask her politely, if she's avoiding me, please feel free to post

I went on a first date with a girl yesterday. I met her at her work and took her to a small cafe for lunch. I am a very shy person so when i greeted her i shook her hand and smiled. After lunch i walked her back to work and she turned to me with her arms outstretched smiled and we hugged. Is this a good sign she likes me/I did well on the date.

I'm a shorter than average guy at around 5'8 but it does get pointed out to me occasionally that I have rather small hands and feet. I did look up some measurements and I think I'm in the bottom 10th percentile for guys, my hands are far closer to the average womens hands than a mans!

I have size 8-9 shoe as well. So not too small, but small enough that again, I'm going to be the same size or smaller than some women.

I know height is a big deal for the ladies but could things like the size of his hands and feet matter as well? Its to do with the whole protection thing and masculinity of males being bigger at the end of the day. Would a guy having small hands and feet be a turnoff to any of you ladies?
