Search Results: good man to date

I’ve known her for a few months and I’ve always liked her. Anyway we’re close now but certain things are happening.

A friend of hers asked her what age she would date a man and then she said the age and then she asked me what age I would date a woman. Another friend of hers asked me “so what about (her name) do you like her?” and I said of course I do and then she went bright red and was clearly flattered. When another guy said he liked her she was like just “cool”.

She gets extremely jealous and has joked about not getting jealous if I talk to other women when she gets jealous. She told one of her friends we were dating as a joke when we’re not and she told me when we caught up for coffee that “this is our date (my name). You understand”.

Now she’s posted stuff on her socials that says things like when you know a guy that shares your vibe

she is extremely confident and outgoing but when she sends me pictures she hides her face

i told her I would send her some flowers and she gave me the details. Another guy said he would and she ignored him. She said it was ok that I didn’t have to send her flowers so I didn’t send them but still

she goes bright red at simple things like I sent her a gif of an angel and was like that’s you hehe and she went bright red

she copies some of my behaviour several times. I feel like copying hers but she started it

its difficult cos if I were to ask her it would be awkward so I am asking on here. Given all the info I’ve shared. Do you think she likes me? Of course I hope she does because it feels good if she did at the very least but yeah what do you think?

Both genders are guilty of this. However we are (supposed) to get better at judging and/or giving advice as we get older and more experienced.

But I’ve had grown ass woman say some ridiculous things to me in the past. I feel like many of them take a common mental shortcut falsely believing that dating is same more men as it is for themselves (when all else equal). It’s not. Not at all. Not even close.

That’s not say I don’t know women have to deal with some common pitfalls. Many men will lie to women and tell want them just what they want to hear to get their foot in the door. They figure that once a woman catches feelings for them they will get a “pass” on their bs. Sadly this sometimes works if the guy is good at it. But not always. Also it never works out in the long run for guys. Plus it makes women more bitter and resentful to men in general after the process.

But anyway I feel most women who criticize men don’t put the mental effort into understanding the challenges most men face in the early steps of dating.

Most don’t understand how we are expected to take risks and stick our necks out. How we get shit tested. How we usually have to plan dates and usually spend money. How the odds are usually stacked against us. How we are supposed to keep calm and brush off (sometimes nasty) rejection and just move on quickly forgetting about it. How women falsely assume that men run into just as many opportunities as they do. Etc.
