Search Results: serious relationship marriage

I know a lot of men value women that are virgins so I want to see what you would do in this case.

I'm aware usually the cases would be the opposite but I want to see if its more about her character or the body count itself.

There's a guy in my neighborhood who always scopes me out.

He tried chatting me up but kept freezing.

Finally, he managed to look me in the eye and we exchanged "hello"s.

I noticed he wears a thin silver band on his middle finger on his right hand.

He is always staring from afar watching me intently but also breaking and avoiding eye contact -- I do the same because his staring weirded me out.

I can tell he and his co-workers talk about me because I've seen them and also they will look at him and stare at me when I go to his place of business.

He engages in "look at me" behaviours when I'm around

• Preening
• Always walking back and forth
• Adjusting his clothes
• Fidgeting a lot
• Even trying to show off his butt (kinda gross)
• Signing a tune if I'm nearby
• Being bossy to the cooks in the kitchen and trying to look serious and in charge

All of these antics for quite some time makes me thing he just wants validation from me and nothing else.

I've always seen him smoking and would always look at his cigarette in disgust. I haven't seen him smoking for the past little bit.

Since he keeps sending signals but does nothing is his ring a sign of him being in a serious relationship?

Hey everyone, I (33F, African American) need some perspective on a recent conflict that arose between my boyfriend (31M, African American) and me. We've been in a long-distance relationship, as he lives down south while I'm up in the northeast. We had a strong emotional connection, exchanged love notes, and even discussed marriage. Here's where things got complicated. My mom is planning to visit his city in a few months, and she doesn't know about our relationship yet. I intended to reveal it to her once we became more serious. However, my mom has always insisted that I should only date Caucasian men, believing they would treat me better. I find her beliefs challenging to deal with, and we often argue about them. When I shared my mom's visit plan with my boyfriend, he encouraged me to go with her. However, I expressed my concerns about being in close quarters with my mom due to our strained relationship and her strong opinions about dating African American men. I wanted to be honest with him, as he deserved to know about my mom's views. Unfortunately, he became angry and went on a rant. He questioned why I didn't challenge my mom's beliefs and stated that he no longer had romantic feelings for me. He even listed his family's accomplishments and the fact that his parents are still together, highlighting the contrast with my own family situation. I was hurt by his reaction, and in the heat of the moment, I responded with a curt "ok good, bye," and blocked him on social media. Now, I'm feeling conflicted and would appreciate some perspective. Was I wrong to share my mom's views with him? How would you handle a situation like this? I'm open to hearing different opinions and understanding who might be at fault here. Thank you in advance for your insights.

Curious to see if people's opinions on the traditional way people do life such as marriage and kids is as appealing once you've been through it. I never want to get married and people think it's wrong. I'm all about living in the moment and keeping life fun and free of stress until I die. I do want a serious relationship, if I meet the right person but not marriage. Just curious to see if people are genuinely married and have kids and happy or if life becomes miserable when you are no longer your priority.
