So there's this guy in my psych class that I like and would like to get to know more. Unfortunately, I'm really terrible at trying to socialize with men I find attractive. My dumbass decided to try to break the ice by saying I like his water bottle. 🤦 And then I didn't know what else to say. Is it too late to recover or should I just avoid him for the rest of the semester?

Not too late at all, I think you're overthinking it. Try again!

Definitely recoverable, I'd say try and be a bit more forward but without putting him on the spot, for example if a girl came up to me and said, "hey I like you I think we should go out", I'd probably become a nervous wreck 😆. Even if you just start talking about a random subject or an interest you know he likes, it could lead somewhere

A woman with a man in her car said she liked my shirt, do you think she's into me? (He probably thought you genuinely just liked the water bottle, drop more hints)

I think that its recoverable, maybe even mention that you're going to be studying outdoors (or wherever) at whatever time, if he wanted to drop by and study a bit together, he might stop by. Take deep breathes before talking, he's just a human being taking the same class, so you have at least that in common to share. Good luck with it all 🙏🏽

I'm the same exact way. No worries, it's definitely recoverable. Just strike up casual conversations here and there till either he initiates or till you build up the courage to talk to him outright.

Thing is .. if you find him attractive, there's likely plenty of other girls in your class that feel the same. Matt got a point but you might be toasted (edited)

Usually guys aren't that great with subtle signalen. So he probably thinks you just liked his bottle. Next time. Maybe compliment him on something about himself that you like? You also could mention that you are a bit shy but would like to get to know him a little better. It is scary, it means you need to put yourself out there. And you might get your feeding hurt a bit. But you currently have a no, and might be able to get a yes! So go for it and flirt with the man. And if it all doesn't work out, at last you have the flirten experience.

Please explain OTHER in the comments 🙃 (edited)

Every day, just to check in and make sure she knows I'm interested

Once or twice a week , and only to confirm plans for a date

Have you ever

Been chatting with someone and then they just disappear? They block you in everything out of the blue, despite the fact that everything is going well. I wish I understood why some people do that. They just waste your time and go.

Men with women in profile pics on dating apps: Why??

I don’t understand why so many men have a woman in their profile picture, especially on a dating app like this. Do they think it’s attractive to women? 🤷‍♀️ #IsThisASignOrWhat

Are you having any luck on boo for local or long distance dating or is this app just to chat and joke with people and never actually meeting them? That’s what it feels like maybe I just live in a small city 🤷‍♀️

I’d really just like to take life goals with a very proactive approach to get the best results. I don’t know if this app offers that for me. It’s not about being desperate because I’m not but it’s about wanting connection because a lot of those opportunities where taken from me because I could of... (edited) read more

They hit one or two of your biggest pet peeves on a regular, unrelenting basis. Do you marry them or run away?

The ideal date?

I saw the question of the day, and honestly idk anymore. My ideas constantly fluctuate. I’m usually a more adventurous person but at the same time there’s almost no way I’ll go on an adventure on the first few days of knowing someone 😅And I guess a cafeteria date is losing its appeal these days :(... read more

Question Time! Currently watching The I.T. Crowd S01E03 - Fifty-Fifty ; the main theme being "women don't like nice guys".

So it got me wondering... as it seems to be a recurring theme and belief amongst many. To the Guys: Are you one to, genuinely, believe that? To the Ladies: Are you/Have you ever been attracted to the "bad guys" or whatever else they're labelled? Personally, I just don't get it. If a guy isn't... read more

So I had a date set up for Friday with a man from here but we were too impatient so we met up early and ohhhh my goodness it was such a great time. He even gifted me a sticker he picked up at a store prior to us meeting up. So simple and cute. Now I'm even more excited for our date friday! (edited)

My opinion: Long distance relationships don't work

Personally I don't think long distance relationships ever work in the long run, and I mean like two people living in different states or countries. People who meet online only work if they live within the same general area, state or whatever.

Chaos or Masterpiece? 😱

If your partner had to live in a house designed by your personality, what would it look like? 👀 We listen and we don't judge. 🤣 I'll start: Theres a shelf of unread books, an inexplicable amount of candles, and a mysterious room where I go to avoid human interactions-- don't ask what's in it.🫣
