Search Results: dating advice

Often = enough so that you feel like you invested a lot of time/energy in dating tips/advice to be happy with your dating life.

I realize asking strangers online will not solve my very real dilemma, but I thought I would anyway just to see what you all say.

Ultimately the choice is mine and only mine.

I recently broke up with my boyfriend because he is indecisive on having children. Because of a previous marriage he is now traumatized to get married and have kids again. We love each other but I know I want marriage and kids.

Since I recently broke up with him, we still talk everyday and he told me he's thinking about kids more than he ever has before and how he doesn't want to lose me...

Wellll... to get over him quicker and distract myself because I'm so distraught over this breakup, I started talking to a man I briefly talked to before I got serious with my boyfriend. This man wants marriage, kids the whole shebang. We get along pretty well and I do like him.

The problem? Should I hold off with this new man until I'm absolutely sure my boyfriend has made up his mind about kids or should I just accept he's indecisive and start this new relationship with someone who actually wants what I want?

And no, no matter how many of you advise I take a break from dating altogether, I won't do that.

Saw this in a [pretty stupid] conversation between two male friends. They're in their 30s but act like they're in their 20s. One was about to text the girl he has been seeing, ask her out again. His friend stopped him to give him advice on what to say, not say. It inspired this question.

The scenario is between a guy and a girl (but you can do same sex couple if you want. But this is about gender roles and preferences.) They are not strangers. They know each other, but not that well. They have just started casually dating. They both like each other.

But... the guy is reluctant [will not] commit. He's anticipating her wanting this. He's trying to play it cool. But he wants to keep dating her, having sex with her, have her in his life. "She's cool, and she's chill, and she's level-headed. But I don't want to fast-track anything." So his friend says to him, "Just tell her, 'Look, maybe I'll get there one day, but I don't want to hold you back from living your life.'" Typical commitmentphobe player b. s. But anyway, thought I'd make a question out of it.

What I'm getting at here is if there's a majority preference toward: politeness, or assertiveness, or something else. And do guys and girls have a different, or the same, idea about this. And, girls, does the assertiveness turn you on/do you like it, or does it turn you off?

It'd be for some snacks/appetizers as well, not just drinks, but for simplicity sake I didn't write that in each multiple choice because it would be too many words. This isn't a formal or fancy dinner date, but there will be food, so don't focus on that. And for those who don't drink alcohol, you can sub in any other beverage. It's not important. But it is a date, and there is sexual tension between them.
