When someone's feeling like they aren't loved...

Okay, I'll admit. I've been through this countless times ever since I started online dating. I have gotten out of it before but some things just don't change. Why do people feel the need to talk about sexual activities when you just want to get to know that person? I am not comfortable with that talk unless I have been with that person for a long time or actually dating them. So, how do you get out of the feeling that you should just quit and that you're going to be unloved forever? Asking for everyone who may need this answered at one point. (I know it kind of sounds like it could be in Relationship advice but I felt like this could be a worthy contribution for life advice too)

I tend to block and try to forget about people who bring up sex before the first date. But it happens a lot

Some people are comfortable talking about sexual things early, some people like yourself aren't. Neither is right or wrong. I would say just communicate to the other person what you said here. They should respect that. If they don't then you're either looking for different things or they're an asset

Unfortunately, had to tell more than a couple already that I wasn't comfortable talking about it and they have gotten the block button for not listening or backing off. Thanks for the response and advice! It helps knowing that people understand!

@Danielle I meant to say "they're an ass." guess "asset" could also work? Haha. And no problem, I believe in communication first and foremost. Utilize that block button online, I've done the same.

I've been on the opposite end of this. Except the sexual topics. When the person says we are still getting to know each other. But I know the pace is so slow, things are barely moving after a whole year. It makes me think they enjoy stringing me along and will make sure it never gets anywhere. And I'm the one who ends up feeling unloved.

Maybe they're interested in sex. Is there something wrong with that?
