Search Results: need romance

For the record I am definitely guilty of:

• Posting about politics (often)
• Using profanity
• Getting in heated (even hateful) arguments
• Talking in depth about dirty/explicit sexual topics for entertainment. However I do much less of that nowadays.

But I remember first posting on GAG literally 14 years ago. Back then it really was more focused about dating and romance issues. Never posted about politics or anything unrelated outside men and women interacting.

I was also more open back then. This included admitting difficult (and embarrassing issues). Insecurities I was struggling with. But nowadays I’m rarely if ever that open. Reason being I am usually not in the mood to get blasted by some idiot troll.

Anyway I got in a real heated argument with one person on GAG yesterday. She unnecessarily hit a very deep nerve with me at the wrong moment. I responded back with sheer vitriol and wished the worst on here (which I later recanted). It wasn’t productive for anyone either way. Not good for her. Not good for me. Not good for anybody who read it.

However that made think harder. What if there was version of GAG that:

• Didn’t allow any slurs, labels, insults, explicit profanity. You can still post it but it the word will immediately get censored.
• Only focused on relationship issues
• Would only allow a PG version of sexual issues
• Wouldn’t allow any postings/opinions about politics (no matter where you stand).
  
  

Sure it sounds really boring and dull at first. But I can’t help but wonder how many people give up on this website at some point. Especially women. Or how many people come here just to “ventilate” vitriol. Or how many people come here for “talk” porn.

What about people who just want to post honest questions and get honest (respectful) responses. A respectful response isn’t always what you want to hear but what you NEED to hear. The difference is knowing the poster really wants to help you vs. enjoying throwing shade.

Just a short story for the gist of it: I've met this woman whom I greatly enjoy talking to, who is also very beautiful, extroverted, outgoing and social. We met at church and spoke on a few ocassions. When I talked to her she always looked me straight in the eyes without breaking away and all that. She mentioned a bit casually that she and her friends hosted regular get-togethers back at their campus and that I should come. I said I'd think about it, flash forward to the Sunday before the Tuesday for the get-together and without me saying anything she goes out of her way to ask me if her friend had added me to their whatsapp group, I say no and she does so personally immidiately *and* adds me to her personal whatsapp (even though she didn't need to). Now at the actual events where I've attended thrice now, she's been a bit more "distant" I suppose, not really initating convos, at times I think even avoiding eye contact. Last time though me, her and my sister who went along spoke and she mentioned that she "overheard" my conversation nearby with another guy when I talked about how "it could be a movie the way you met your wife", even though she was at that time in the midst of a high-pace card game, and she commented on hearing something about "romantic movies" (I nor he said nothing of romance at any point).

So am I being silly here, is it just "normal extroverted girl behavior" or is there something to gauge here in the form of romantic interest or attraction? Thankful for input. I feel like the invite and whatsapp deal could be a sign but I'm chronically cynical lol.
