〜 don't really care about this stuff, just asking cause im bored 〜

I 100% support trans people don't get me wrong but not really the non binary/agender type thing. Like for me your either a dude or a girl unless you're a hermaphrodite. Even if your an effeminate guy or a butchy girl, you're still the same sex. i don't think not conforming to gender roles means you're not that gender. that's just weird and unecessary lol

even though i don't agree with them i'd still call them by their pronouns though and i won't tell them what i think. i'm not a bitch

27F, I’ve officially come to terms with the fact I’ll end up alone. I’ve been on and off the apps for years, I really don’t think I’m that unattractive but the dating apps have indicated otherwise. I get a good bit of matches and guys reach out, it always either dies out or it isn’t reciprocated from the guy or I. I’ve tried almost every app, paid and free. I have one app installed, there was one time last year where I deleted the app for 6 months. Currently, I swipe on profiles maybe every other week or reply to messages 2-3 times per week. I don’t have friends so the apps are my only avenue considering I’m a homebody. I do know they work for some though, people have said I’m cute/attractive etc but guys never approach me in person. I used to purposely hold back and try to play hard to get, now I’m at the point where I have to force myself to open the app and remember to reply to this guy and so forth. I don’t want kids, id be down to get married but really worry about the reality that id have to be sexual knowing guys urges and so. I am not sexual, I haven’t had sex or masturbated in years. Maybe the right guy will change that?
Also, certain things about guys kinda turn me off, almost every guy I’ve known including my dad who I’m close with has dickish/macho tendencies and I don’t have patience for it lol.

TL;DR: does it sound like my dry spell/bad luck with dating apps stem from lack of interest? Or am I bitter?

They say if you’re attracted to a friend more than likely they’re attracted to you back. I’m just curious how true that is.

For me the answer is few.

Do you like him and agree with his methods or not?

This is Cesar Millan, the popular dog whisperer that rehabilitates any breed:

So I've gone on a few dates with this guy - he's nice, funny, smart, attractive, respectful, and he's a college graduate at age 21. Frankly, we have some chemistry, and he meets all of my criteria. He's kind of shy, so although he's asked me on several dates, it seems unlikely for him to push for anything further.

We met about a year ago, but I was in another relationship, and we were just friends. We had gone on a date beforehand.

Our fifth date is scheduled for tomorrow (July 10). My friends are asking whether or not I want to date him long term, and... I don't know. I guess I'm comparing him to one of my exes, who seemed kind of perfect for me. Some part of me just keeps holding back. On the other hand, if he's not a guy for me, who could be?

Should I pursue a relationship with him? Just see where things go? Or is my hesitancy a sign that he's not right for me?

I'm putting this under the category: family and friends, but I'm really talking about people in general.

If someone texts you (a reference) an update about their job hunt (where they've applied, from whom you might hear, etc.), and then ends the text with thanks and I hope you're enjoying the summer with a smiley face, is a reply warranted? Or is it rude/unprofessional not to reply?

Imagine you're single and ready to mingle

So whenever my boyfriend and I go out to eat we have tried to split things, If its more than $20-$30 he will sometimes look at me and ask if I want to pay or ask "what should we do" He has paid for things but its for the small things. He's the one with the full time job and I'm getting there to get a job. I have discussed al of this to him and it has gotten better but i still find i'm paying for expensive things. When it comes to gifts he does spend money on me but when it comes to going out he seems to be really cheap. For example: when we went to the movies I paid for the tickets and he paid for the snacks. He ended up going to the game with a friend when tickets were cheaper. So basically i have noticed a pattern of whenever its more than $20-$30 max he will look at me to pay. I am totally down to split things but it's never made me feel "special" when it comes to him taking the initiative especially him with the job and me without a job. I just don't feel special and it feels like he doesn't want to spend money on me which he has but not to when it comes to going out. Is it normal to feel this way or am i being a "diva"?

When these three words are spoken in your local accent how difficult are they to tell apart?
If you hear the sentence "this year I'm having surgery on my ear so I can hear." Your brain automatically realises which is which. But spoken alone without context it can be difficult in some accents.

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6)

📖 Quran 📖
[Jesus] said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet." (19:30)

Basically you may miss a date due to work and she says she'd be mad as she doesn't want to play with herself.
