Search Results: tell a girl you like them

Hi all,

We went to a ball over Christmas it went well, she wanted to take some photos with me no matter what with the professional camera, and then put the casual ones we took together on her Whats App story, I'm friends with her friends cause she introduced me to them

She invited me out to places such as her church; I'm not that religious myself, but I went there to spend some time with her. Her walking me back to the station and us having 1 and 1 time with each other occasionally. She even offered to buy the ticket for me several times

Had a call with a girl that I've been taking to (we have been texting everyday, not all day). She wanted to call me, the conversation was about 40 mins, this happened 2 times. Wanted to know more about me but I'm a terrible judge of knowing if she is just being friendly or if she is interested romantically

Right now we are texting and I told her a situation that I'm in thats personal and she said that "whatever situation your in, I'm all ears" she has been replying slowly the past 2 days (under a day), but yesterday she sent me 24 separate messages.

people are like girls are always are on thier phones but she responds on the group chat to people but replies to me later.

I asked her out on a date over phone and she said she was thinking of bowling but she used the famous "I'll let you know" so that's out me on edge, she is also doing masters right now which might take her time. Any thoughts?

Is this what many men do? Give up authentic parts of who you are and your personality just so you have a real chance with the women to end up in a relationship or marriage? Altering yourself like that by destroying who you really are to not being truly yourself just so you have a relationship, marriage and or kids? Is not getting a relationship or marriage or the end of your bloodline thanks to you being your true self really so much worse than being with a woman loving you being your fake self and risk getting divorced and becoming a pay slave for when either she finds out you're not who she thought you are or you fall apart from imitating like that?

And before you say "What is this Nonsense? Men don't do that" what if i told you there are men, that don't show you that they've sacrificed parts of who they are as much as they don't show feelings? Point being you are probably unaware, that some men gave up parts of their personality and who they are and are actively putting up an impressive facade version of "manly man" of themselves for you girls. Anything just to be in a relationship or marriage or not risking the end of their bloodline.

I want to get feedback on my partner:

- She’s not keen on me seeing friends, for my safety and would rather I met them with her. She also uses the find my iPhone feature with me.
- She messages me and phones various times per day, and gets frustrated if I don’t reply quickly, she says it’s to check I’m ok,
- She tracks my spending on her, to check we’re in budget. Even if I a buy a coffee she’s brings it up and asks why I bought it.
- She’s says if I don’t spend $$ on her birthday present I don’t love her. Also said her birthday needs to be “perfect” with hundreds of balloons etc and fancy cake.
- She doesn’t like me having a female friend at work, has told me to stop going to lunch with her. Said it’s to ensure I don’t “cheat”. She messaged my friend at work on Facebook to ask about me.
- My partner doesn’t like me following other girls on social media even friends.
- She told me I can’t have anyone better than her.

Is she a good partner? I’m really conflicted as this is my first relationship. My female friend said there is red flags everywhere, is she right?
