(Reasons We're Probably Not) Dating Or In A Relationship Thread NSFW • Page 139

Well I decided to finally give the whole online dating thing a shot. I always find the whole concept of it incredibly awkward buuuut I do understand that it can be a useful tool to meet people. Plus it's a nice alternative to the whole meeting someone in the bar scene.

 

I always enjoyed meeting people online at the bar.

 

@dylan we need a title change. "Dating and Relationships and Jake is getting laid at the Sex thread"

 

Got you

 

I said hi and she replied with a weird waving gif on tinder. Well that's over now.

 

the title change.

 

What's the best way of dealing with your significant others past without being jealous about it ? I'm sure you guys have been through this.

 

Just realize that you can't change the past and soldier forward. That's all you can really do.

 

I completely agree, sometimes I feel its hard to do though.

 

Just gotta be confident in yourself man. She's not with the people from her past for a reason.

 

yeah, again just be confident in yourself and realize that she chose you for a reason.

 

That's so cliche but it's true in everyway possible.

 

It's a question of perspective. How much does this person mean to you? If you care about her, why should the past matter at all? Part of it is learning to put your pride aside and enjoy what you have. Let's face it, you can't change the past, but you can value the present, and hopefully build a future.

 

Yeah basically what everyone else said. I get where you're coming from but it just shouldn't really matter because it was all before you. 5 other people, 20 other people, 100 other people, whatever. There's this shit idea that gets ingrained in us like a high number of partners depreciates ones value and is supposed to be shamed but it's all sexist dumb bullshit

 

If a text conversation ends in "text me soon! Have a goodnight!"

Do I follow-up the next day

/inept

 

how long was the conversation? how much have you been texting in general?

 

Pretty much since I got home last night till I went to bed. 1-2 hours

 

You should be good then

 

I mean, I don't know the situation. If she said text me soon, she obviously wants you to text her again, and soon. You'll be good. The whole waiting thing is bullshit.

 

There are no rules. Text her whenever you feel like texting her. I'd suggest soon, as she seems eager to continue conversing.

 

Yes, I am more excited than I am comfortable being. I'm very cynical about dating stuff

 

Most people don't say text me soon when they don't want you to lol

 

Don't overthink it, chase. It's easy to get stuck in your own head, but just do whatever feels right.

 

Thank you, I over think everything when it comes to social interaction. Gotta be more optimistic

 

Chase, like others have said - don't overthink it. and like bigmike said, there are no rules. don't play that fucking idiot "time table" game like 2% of the population actually does. i wouldn't text her as soon as you get up in the morning, but i would text her sometime that next day.
