    Should I text her first or wait it out?

    Yeah definitely wish I had done that. But after what happened at the wedding I had it stuck in my head that I had to do something now, thinking there would still be some intrigue and interest there. If it didn't work out, I know I don't see her that often at all, so it wouldn't really effect...

    Should I text her first or wait it out?

    I know this isn't the main point, but she's not trying to avoid me. We were in a group chat about the bowling. If she were trying to avoid me, she'd probably have bailed after realizing I was going to be there. Instead she was very enthusiastic about bowling. Sat next to me and talked to...

    Should I text her first or wait it out?

    It wasn't like that. My friend asked if I wanted to go bowling Sunday, I said sure. Didn't know she would be there also until Saturday night. Wasn't going to back out because she was going to be there. Wanted to go bowling with friends. In regards to her being there, I was like ok, well...

    Should I text her first or wait it out?

    I didn't take it as any sort of rejection, I actually read it as playful/flirtatious which was encouraging. Unfortunately, at the time, my response sucked. Since she told me I couldn't come to her place because her mother was staying with her for their flight early in the morning, I offered to...

    Should I text her first or wait it out?

    Yea a lot of time has passed. She did say she'd text me when she's back in town and she just got back some time Monday I think, so not that much time, but definitely could have sent a text while she was with family for the week. Still feel like saying **** it and shooting a shot. Got any...

    Should I text her first or wait it out?

    Decided I am going to shoot her a text. If she's down she'll respond favorably and it's good. If she's not, she either rejects me or doesn't answer and it's whatever. We have friends in common and just because she doesn't respond now doesn't mean it's off the table to **** another time. I...

    Should I text her first or wait it out?

    Saw a girl that I used to hook up with at a wedding last weekend. Chemistry was strong again, we hung out the whole night, had a great time, made out a bit. Tried to go home together but logistics made that impossible. She said, "I'll be home in a week", "I'll text you when I'm back, maybe...

    Meeting OLD Girl Visiting from Another Country

    I'm thinking about what type of date to take this girl on. Typically for a first date I would just take a girl for drinks at a cool vibey spot which makes sense if I would want there to potentially be another date. But since this girl is from another country and only here for a few more days...

    Meeting OLD Girl Visiting from Another Country

    I've never had this opportunity nor been on many dates with girls from Europe before so I'm not entirely sure what to expect. We matched on a dating app, it said she is 23, from Germany but here in NYC. From her pictures, she's very attractive. We exchange a couple of messages and it turns...

    How do I enjoy things if I'm sort of ****?

    How do you guys find enjoyment/fulfillment from things you like but aren't necessarily good at? I find that unless I'm good at something or at least see continuing improvement, I don't enjoy my hobbies or things I've tried. People always suggest do things for fun or because you like them or...

    Free spirits

    Why is the general consensus not to date them and they're in general not good partners? I'm sizing up the one I've been hanging out with and she has a few long term relationships in her past. Makes me think she's not such bad relationship material?

    What are your boundaries?

    I think what you're saying is a big reason I'm asking. How does one walk that fine line? 99% of the time she's making you happy but then you see she responded to a former fling on Instagram or is posting thirst trap pictures on social media or they tell some little white lie but correct...

    What are your boundaries?

    What are some of your boundaries when it comes to dating women? What are the ones you're willing to say hey that's not ok (or what do you say/do?) and what are the ones where you do not communicate with them and it's just over for you?

    Depression

    I'm definitely taking the right steps. I eat healthy. Fruits, vegetables, protein, healthy carbs. I'm training for a triathlon and marathon. 5-6 days a week I'm running and cycling, unfortunately no swimming since COVID. I have really bad elbow issues so I'm very limited in what lifting I...

    Depression

    I definitely feel like I've experienced loss after loss. Never seems like things work out or go my way, I never catch a break. I've been doing some reading - I'm going to start journaling and part of that will be a victory log. Write 1 victory I had during the day.

    Depression

    Well I do see a therapist on a weekly basis. I was also on anti-depressant the majority of last year when I was in some seriously deep depression and despair but weaned myself off. Don't feel any different than I did after being on them several months. It's more of just an energy sucking type...

    Depression

    Wondering if anybody here has dealt with depression and how they have gone about battling it and maybe even overcoming it? How do you get into a positive/optimistic mindset and mood? I've realized I've been depressed and apathetic for years now and I'm struggling to break out of this. I'm...

    Creating an Interesting & Awesome Life

    I thought the thread would be a good idea to motivate and inspire guys on the forum. Maybe somebody mentions something that they do and I or somebody else on this forum says wow that sounds awesome and tries it out and makes it part of their life too. I personally do these things for me and...
