Hi! I’m 36 and have been trying the online dating scene. I really haven’t had much luck but I have been talking to this one girl, 28. To get to the point, she’s not the most beautiful but looks aren’t everything. What worries me is that she lives at home with parents still, lives an hour from me and that she has two jobs. So I wonder how educated she actually is.

I have a degree and work as a college admissions director. I worry that I’ll just be supporting someone who doesn’t have her life together yet. I’m at that point in my life where I want to meet someone who’s ready to start a life with me. What should I do? I’m not too picky but I want to find someone I can be happy with.

I have gone on two dates with this girl that I met through an online dating site. Though I do want to meet someone that I can spend the rest of my life with, I find myself not attracted to her physically and going out with her feels more like a chore. I don’t know what to do because I know she would probably be my girlfriend if I asked but I just don’t feel a spark.I know love takes time but I don’t want to waste either of our time as well. It’s two dates enough? Or should I keep trying?

Thanks for reading. So I recently joined Match.com and I have been talking with a girl who is 21 and still in college. I am 35 and already have my degree, house, job, etc. I didn’t pay much attention to her age until she gave me her phone #. I want to pursue a possible serious relationship with her and she says that she wants the same and seems really into me. But I worry that the age gap may be too wide and we may be in two different phases in life. Should I give it a try and see where this goes or am I setting myself up for failure and heartache?

I have been dating this girl for almost 2 years and now she’s trying to break up with me. I won’t get into the why, that’s a whole other story. But I’ve always tried to be good to her and her family and made a point to spend a lot of time with them. If she does end up leaving me, I’d like to know if I should reach out to her parents and say I’m sorry and goodbye. Is that appropriate or would that just complicate things?

I’m already heartbroken as it is, I just don’t want them to think I’m a bad person I guess and to thank them.

Thank you for reading.

I have been dating my girlfriend for over a year now and over the course of our relationship, I feel that she has gotten more angry and abusive. We started out great but then 5 months into our relationship, her apartment lease was up and she basically told me that if I did not let her move into my house, that I wasn't "serious" about us and she would break up with me, because moving in was the "next step". I did not want to lose her, so I agreed. But before we met, I let my sister have a room in my house and it has always been a sticking point that some of her things are in storage, yet my sister has a room. As a result, she has never liked my sister and feels that anything my sister says is a threat. I've always told her that we could move her things in but she is the one with the key to her storage locker, but she never wants to go, yet blames me for her things being ruined while sitting in her locker.

She has always had a temper. There have been times where I can't be myself or say the wrong thing around her, because she blows up. She's done a lot of good things for me: taken me on trips, bought me gifts and even got into anime and gaming because it was important to me but I feel like I am always having to watch what I say or do, even though I try to be good to her.

Today I told her I that love her no matter what and she took offense to it. I don't want to be single but I feel I don't deserve this. I am a good; happy person but she seems negative

I feel bad even asking this but I m at the end of my rope. I ve been dated this girl for 6 months and over time she has gotten progressively worse in terms of temper.

Something that would be an annoyance to most, keeps her mad for days and she has trouble letting things go. My sister was upset that she and I went to Ant-Man and the Wasp and said some mean things in the moment. My girlfriend caught wind of it and she s been blowing up my phone all weekend and saying my sister won t change or give a sh*t even if I talk to her. She s always mad, has a period of niceness then gets mad again. I don t know what to do with her. She s always threatening to breakup too but then will turn around and say she wants to marry me.

When I was younger, my sister had a bad habit of trying to hit me in the balls. After awhile, I developed a small bit of fluid called a hydrocele and I still have it today, though it doesn't cause any discomfort. I am 33 now and I have been with my current girlfriend for a few months and she wants to start having sex. In the past, I had trouble getting erections before sex. It's embarrassing but I am not sure if it is due to nervousness or something physical because when I masturbate, I have no problems. What do you think? I want to get intimate with my girlfriend but worry about not being able to perform. In the past I found that once I had penetrated, I was fine. maybe my penis just needs constant stimulation.

I love my girlfriend, I plan to marry her one day and would do almost anything to make her happy. But she gets upset If things don't go her way sometimes. This weekend she and I plan to goto an event out of town. I have two very close friends that live in the city that we are going to and I rarely ever see them. while I'm in the area, I wanted to visit with them for an hour or so. I told my girlfriend about them because I wanted to introduce them but she got mad and said "we never have time alone! There's always someone else!". Keep in mind I've spent quite a bit of time with her and her family in the 3 months we've been together.

Is she being selfish or am I being unreasonable? I need some insight.

I have been talking to this woman that I met through Match.com for the past couple of weeks. She is responsive to my texts and shares things about herself like what she does for a living and what she's doing that day. But every time I ask if she'd like to meet up for lunch/dinner/coffee or at least talk on the phone, she says things like "that's nice" or "yeah we can do that one day" but never gives me a clear answer. Also, she doesn't seem to respond to me unless I text her first. I feel like she's not interested because she doesn't offer ideas nor send the first text. I am hoping she is just shy or awkward but.... it may just be wishful thinking. What do you think? She is responsive but I've had to initiate everything so far.

I have been taking to this woman for the last week or so. We met on an online dating site and after a few messages, we exchanged numbers. From the very first call I began having doubtd though, because she told me about a guy at CVS that she winked at and was flirting with. I tried to brush it off and we had a good talk but since the. I am the only one to try and initiate a Meetup or phone call. She responds but I feel like I am doing all the work. She agrees to meet but never offers ideas.

I recently bought a new battery for my Toshiba Satellite at a Battery + Bulbs store for $80. It is a Duracell brand. But I am wondering if I should return it and opt for a cheaper one that is off-brand instead through Amazon.com.

Should I keep the brand name battery or try a cheaper version?

I have been talking to this girl for the past few weeks that I met on Match.com. She seems nice and always responds to my texts but she never actually initiates contact. I can go days without any contact and she won't say a word until I reach out first. She has been out of town on a family trip before the school year starts again (she works as a teacher), but now that she is back, I want to ask her on a date. I have date though, because she never initiates contact.

It's odd because he responses are usually multiple texts and she even sends me pictures of her travels.

What should I do?

I have a 2004 Saturn Ion and over the years I have done my best to maintain it and keep it running well. This past year however, I have had to take it to the shop more and more. The past few months especially, I have had to repair various oil leaks and replaced my o2 sensor for the 2nd time just last week. I have spent at least 1k and some change on repairs since January 2017. I love my car and I really do not want another car note (or for my car insurance to increase) but this morning I noticed that there now seems to be water in the oil, as it was very thin and dripped off the dipstick.

What should I do? The car is paid off but the repairs are much more frequent.

Thanks for reading. I will try and make this to the point.

I met a girl on Match.com and after exchanging a few messages, we exchanged numbers, after a few texts I asked if I could call her and she agreed. So we talked a bit and I felt that we were getting along great. After awhile, I asked her out and we met at a restaurant nearby. I was on time, grabbed a table for us and we talked back and forth for a couple of hours. All the while I never took my eyes off of her, asked her questions that showed interest and let her know that she looked great.

After the date, I waited a day or so and said that I had a great time and would like to see her again. But now her texts were somewhat general and vague. I said "hey there is a Japanese Festival next week, I'd love it if we could get together again and attend" she says " I love festivals!" Later I invite her to try out a new restaurant nearby that serves good Mexican food and she says "I love chimichangas". She would never commit to anything.

this morning I straight up ask her in a text "I would like to see you again, would you like to meet? You can be honest". She replies saying that she doesn't see us being more than friends. I don't understand, I told her that I was interested and through our talks I made it clear that I wanted to settle down, get married and start a family of my own, in addition to go back to school and get my Masters. Isn't that what women want? A man with goals and initiative? Where did I go wrong?

I met a girl online a few weeks back and we have exchanged various texts, spoke on the phone and last week I treated her to dinner. It s hard to see if she is interested in me though because I asked her if she wanted to get together again and she said she was going to festival. I said that was cool then asked if she wanted to go to a Japanese festival with me next week. She said "that sounds fun!" And that s it. It s hard to meet with her because she works graveyard shift at a medical lab and I work daytime hours. She and I seemed to have gotten along well during our date.

Thoughts?

I work in college admissions for the Art Institutes (I won t disclose which). I ver the 3 years I have worked there, I have seen restrictions placed more and more on what we can and cannot say and which words are "compliant". Now some of our programs may lose Government funding because our graduate stats don t match up with what the dept. of education wants to see and we have a certain way to inform students about that too.

Today I got in trouble because I told a student that he "could" work working in the medical field with a degree in Animation but the proper word was "possible". And I said a disclaimer at page 1 of our admissions presentation but not page 6.

I am very good at my job and have contributed much to the company but I feel like I am walking on egg shells. Should I get out or am I just paranoid?

I'll try and keep this short but I need advice.

I have been single for the past couple of years. I have tried Match.com and some women have responded to my messages. I usually send 3-4 messages before I decide to ask her out (I don't want to wait too long but also do not want to seem too eager). It seems that most of time I ask a woman out, that's it, no response afterard. I am getting tired of a great back and forth only for it to end suddenly when I show some initiative.

I have recently tried another route and am trying to attend meetups (meetup.com). I have only been to a couple so I haven't been able to see how well that is working yet. I did a get a number from one girl but she was kind of young (early 20's and I am 32) and once again after asking her out or asking if she wanted to talk on the phone, she stopped responding.

I don't know what I am doing wrong. I don't think I am bad looking... I'm educated, financially stable and looking for a serious relationship. It does make me a bit depressed because finding love is the only thing missing in my life. Any advice?

Thanks for reading. I have been single for the past 2 years. I have tried Match.com and have gotten some phone numbers but only a couple of times have I had the chance to meet someone in person a and it has never worked out. So not much success. I was content to just working, coming home and searching Match but I recently started to look at meetup groups on meetup.com.

To be honest I am scared, I don't like going out and meeting random ppl but I am not sure if my way of going online at night to find a partner is working. Now I am nervous and scared and anxious because I don't know what to do. I am 32 and tired of being single, please tell me what I should do. Am I overreacting? Is it okay to keep using match or do I need to put myself out there more? I work anywhere from 6-8PM every week day so it's hard to go out at times.

side note, I did go to one "star wars" meet up and got a girls number.. she's kinda young though.

Hello. a couple weeks ago, I was sitting at home thinking about where I am right now in life. I recently bought a good home and have a good job that pays well. But I realized that I am single (and have been for awhile) and do not go out much because I have a small group of friends, some of whom have moved away from the area. It freaked me out a bit and I decided to join meetup.com to try and meet new people, but I am not really into putting myself out there in new social situations.

What can I do to change my situation. I want to meet a new partner but also make new friends. Some people say to just be happy with myself but I haven't gotten anywhere these past couple years just doing my own thing and seeing where life takes me. I have become so conflicted lately and I am not sure why.

Thank you for reading. I need some advice.

I have been single for the past 2 years. And although that has always weighed on my mind, usually I am able to focus and keep myself busy/happy. Most nights after work, I make something to eat, sit down to watch a movie or play a game and surf Match.com. Because of some recent dental work, I am not able to go to the gym until I am done healing, so I have more time to reflect.

The past month or so, I had been talking with these two charming ladies off Match.com and I even got their numbers. However, every time I tried to set up a date, they agreed to the idea but never followed through with a solid time/day. New years eve was the last I heard from either of them and I really thought I had something. Yesterday I just freaked out and started thinking about the fact that I am 32, single and don't know what to do as far as my love life goes. Now I am scared, and tense and have lost the urge to do normal things that made me happy.

What is going on with me? I was so upset I even made an account on meetup.com to look into events to meet new friends. But what I really want is someone to love. Help me make sense of this.
