I don't know what to do, I genuinely love this person but don't feel OK initiating intimacy anymore.

She says like if he ever leaves her, she will harm herself.

A few weeks ago, I demonstrated an inability to perform, which caused our evening to wind down rather quickly.

Basically, I think she was a great match for me but I wasn't ready to open up yet.

I feel like I'm getting way ahead of myself, thinking about commitment with a guy I've never kissed.

"When a girl says she can't go out because she has to do laundry, pay bills, food shopping, etc., is that a sign that she is seeing someone else?"

Even though I like him and really see potential with him, I told him that I was not going to be waiting for him to come back.

I am hoping you can clarify generally about what type and nature of differences are boons in a relationship (chocolate and peanut butter) as opposed to those differences in vision that can be harmful (chocolate and tuna).

In the past year, I thought back to all the guys who showed an interest in me but I backed off. I found plenty of excuses.

Thanks to the global pandemic, there is almost no chance of meeting love naturally "in the wild." Like many 20-somethings in the world, I turned to online dating. According to the internet, there was a 50 percent increase in downloads…

I will either get really excited about someone after the first date and then horribly disappointed after date three or four ... or I will not like someone after meeting them (virtually now) after about 10 minutes.

Are there rules for building physical intimacy during a pandemic?

What is the most neutral way I can mention it so that it doesn't come across as off-putting?

I think it might be for the better for both of us now that it is over, although that is no excuse for what I did.

I know it's unhealthy to think this, but I feel like he is just with me because of my pregnancy.

I am hoping you can advice me how not to intervene in such way that come across as interfering.

Maybe I am just being dramatic but I think I would appreciate it more if he used the "I" a bit more on sensitive matters.

How do you relax and be "authentic" interacting with someone when there's so much potentially riding on it?

What am I supposed to do?! Move in with him right now? Kidding....sort of.

... we haven’t gotten to spend much time in each other's social circles, so I'm reluctant to name my feelings too soon.

I would never expect to take priority over his kids. But after four months am I not allowed to expect some consistency in his behavior?

In 2021, I am no closer to my goal.

Do you think he will ever chase me down the street?

I'm usually the one who likes to set and plan dates, to be the pursuer rather than the pursued.

I decided it wouldn't be shocking to bring up that I had real feelings for him, saw him as a priority, and wanted to affirm we were on the same page.
