Did I cut him off too fast?
I got Hinge (I know, I know but I just moved to a new country so I thought why not) matched with this one guy, a bit later he messages me and joked around a bit and after like 4 messages he asked for my Instagram and said “to set up the whole foods date” on my profile one of my prompts I wrote about

Should I text him? We've been dating for 6 months.

New BF heading to Vegas
I’ve been seeing a guy for about 2 months, everything is going well right now and we really like each other. This summer, he is going to Vegas for a minimum of 2 weeks with a chance of it extending up to 6 weeks. It’s kind of a work trip but is also kind of not - he will break even if he goes and it

Even in female-focused movies/TV shows, men are fan favorites
Barbie, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Derry Girls, etc. I feel like the men outshine the women and it’s done on purpose. We need more movies that have likeable characters and DON’T uplift men. There is literally no need for it. Men and pick me’s think it’s good enough to have female centered media

has anyone else paid for her content on Integrated Attachment Theory? i am curious to hear your experiences. i subscribed for a month and completed 40 hours worth of "courses", and while i think she has a decent business model, her angle feels..."off" to me. spill your opinions, please.

How to love in his love language?
I'm dating the nicest guy I've ever met. We've been dating for 6 months, and last week we went on our first vacation, after that, he told me he want us to have dinner with his parents this weekend. When we are together he always puts me first in consideration about what we are going to have for din

Where did all the 257,000 FDS members go?
So FDS reddit had 257,000 members. Now most of them just all disappeared? They don't participate in online discussions anymore? Where did they all go? It's just so sad to see that this site only has one post per day, and I can't find any other like-minded communities anymore. Xy has billions of mal

What do you think of this?
I'm kind of frustrated right now. I wanted to stick up for the woman in the situation and my dad didn't like it. Here is the backstory: It was probably 20 years ago that my brother was visiting a family's home. The family had a daughter who my dad's friend was trying to set my brother up with. All

Men who keep mentioning their ex
Why do some men keep mentioning their ex when trying to get to know you? For example the last person I talked to wouldn't shut up about her. In every text message he would text something about her. "My ex cheated on me", "my ex hated video games", "my ex hated the music I listened to", "my ex dit

Have recently only started dating women and the difference is life changing
I have not been uncomfortable, harrassed, sexually harrassed or pressured once. Not once. Not one gross comment or entitlement to my body. Genuine effort to get to know me as a human being. Empathy consideration and cute flirting. I will never date another man again. Men could learn a lot from Lesbi

Should I feel guilty about my boyfriend paying for everything ? Is this fair?
After a lovely weekend spending time with my boyfriend, he expressed to me that he fears that we may have fallen into a sugar daddy/sugar baby dynamic. He also went on to say that he would like to ensure that he isn’t being taken advantage of. Now, this conversation comes on the heels of many, many

Do you think it is worth trying to figure out your 'niche' in dating? Or is it just useless pandering?
I've seen a few dating advice people come up in my feed and talk about how people in general, but typically women (since that's the type of dating advice content I consume), would do well to understand what sorts of men they tend to appeal to in the dating world, and go for them. For example, if you

How to act when you have to see your ex scrote
I dated a co worker (I know I know NEVER again, I learned my lesson) and he ended up being a piece of shit , a bald, ugly cheap scrote who pretended to be generous and nice until he gets in my pants and dumped me as if I was nothing). Anyways. Unfortunately we work in the same room. I don't work

How do you respond to yourself when you do something LV?
Specifically dating related. I imagine people will wonder "What did she do?" so I'll come out with it, it was PDA overkill at a dance party with someone I am dating. Not like straight up sexual acts but too much making out and grinding to where he....visibly responded to it and I had to shield him.

Feeling trapped once you become BF/GF
I don't have the dating experience that others may have here, but one of the posts I just read here about a woman who has a new BF and wants to go away for a month made me think - is it often that a potential BF suddenly acts different once they become your actual BF, making you feel like it's harde

I am changing my number / I want to change it. Any thoughts or opinions? Is it a dumb idea?
I have changed my number about 3 times within last 14 years. Because of men. One was a stalker who found my family records and everything even after I blockt, the next was an Abuser who made numerous fake numbers to contact me after I moved on, and now the third man is.... something I need to mo

Free events for singles
I've seen people organising free events for singles (e.g. speed dating and bowling events) and advertising them online. What does FDS think of these events? They're free unlike matchmakers or speed dating events created by matchmaking companies, but I can't help but feel like these events will be fi

Women in Europe: how do you deal with cheap 50/50 scrotes?
I have this perception that in Europe the 50/50 shit is more normal. I have just come back from a date with an Italian scrote who made split the bill, he made me pay 24 euros. I think it's pretty common it in Europe or it is my impression? In South America men don't let women pay most of the times,

Would you be offended?
Decided to use Bumble BFF to try and meet new female friends. However, a woman I don't know who matched with me has really upset me. She sent me a message saying that I sounded like a positive person and she needs a friend to hype her up (as I put in my profile that I'd like a friendship where we ca

Male classmate won’t talk to me lol
It just so happens that this week's lesson was about feminism and I went to grad school for gender studies. We got into this class conversation and he thought the movie Barbie was not feminine enough haha. My male partner tries to quell the fire and ease the tension, but I'm like fuck this bullshit,

Disturbed by something I saw today.....
I was at a home and garden show, working there. I was at a booth handing out water, when a man and a little girl came by for some water. The little girl was around 8-10 yrs old. When I looked at her, I was shocked to see very dark circles around her eyes. As if she has never slept a day in her li

Is being set up even a thing these days?
It seems like most HVM do not need to be set up. They can easily meet women so have little need to be set up. I can't help but feel like the men who need to be set up either 1) have some undesirable characteristics hindering their ability to attract women so they need to be set up or 2) look extreme

Talking to men who live overseas
Hi, I took a break from online dating and decided to try it out again. The men in my area and generally men from my country are just not really for me so I decided to see if I could find people who I click with and I've been texting this guy who seems very ambitious and well-read. He lives overse

"CNN: Marriage rates are up, and divorce rates are down". fake news?
This article was published 11 hours ago. It says " marriage rates are up and divorce rates are down." Is this fake news? propaganda? Or is this real? https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/17/health/marriage-divorce-rates-wellness/index.html

Which books have you found helped you the most in changing your dating life?
I've read "Why Men Love Bitches" and have enjoyed that one (helped me recognize a lot of non-beneficial behaviors I had in dating), looking for others to read. I have seen the list from the link below and was wondering if anyone had anything in particular to recommend from it or something else that'

How do I know he is single
Odd question but valid, I met him at a networking event, we have mutuals and there is no women posted, in the comments, in stories nor tagged. No wedding band on either,, he interacs with me on socials but I'd rather know clearly.
