I would argue that most dating happens with the hope that there will be some sexual aspect. Sometimes later in the interactions than one party prefers. I'm not saying that there's an expectation, just that sexual attraction typically plays into decision making when it comes to asking/accepting a date.

FWB is the same as dating without a commitment. Both are doing fun things (+), are open ended, and have little, to no, agreed upon structure.

Brene Brown is slowly working on me. I'm able to recognize the strength in others, but struggle to develop that it in myself.

I'm a bit jealous - I find it really hard to develop romantic feelings. I really want a full relationship, but... the vulnerability. Your ability is powerful in relationships.

Find physically attractive, yes. Romantic feelings, no. I never mix romantic feelings with a f buddy. It's a recipe for disaster and why so many people say f buddies don't work. Boundaries - physical, emotional, mental - are key.

For those struggling with anxiety, see if your therapist does hypnosis. I did that with mine - it took a little while, but I felt like it was much more effective than only talk therapy. There may also be an app or 2, but I haven't used them to know if I would recommend.

In an app profile: "I'm an open book" If he fills an app generated question about weird attractions with "redheads".

It's been a while since I read it, but I remember thinking that it wasn't as funny as I expected it to be.

I'd take a dad doing his best to coparent really well over other options any day. But also... I'm hoping he doesn't want more kids or have kids younger than 10. My kids are older and I'm not looking to get half way decent at this phase (or middling because... teens) and move on to other joys/challenges, only to find myself…

This is my rule more than anything else. Also, I did an active first date outdoors on an extremely hot/humid day. I will never do that again.

I'm a flyby like-r, very, very rarely comment on walls, and dms are even more rare.

Constant impulse purchases. Double the red flag when he impulse buys everything that pops up as an ad on IG and admits it with no shame later.

A Shakira / Maluma combo is hard to pass up. I think this one is extra hot, but it doesn't have many views. https://youtu.be/zkG4Xpz6t68

I bought this for a 4 year old birthday gift. Great way to align weather events with feelings or moods.

My dad taught me to put brown sugar on buttered rice. It's almost better than oatmeal for me. It's definitely a comfort food.

Generally, I take life way too seriously, but... The closer someone is to me, the less seriously I take a funeral. Funerals are for the living and I prefer to live while in the midst of it - for my loved one. To notice and appreciate the people that cared for and respected my person enough to take the time to come. In my…

When he's willing to have some open/honest communication, but he complains about it just enough to reflect that it's work.

A friend that knows something that I love and evidences that. And a friend that accepts the part of me that I hide from most of the world.

I'm glad you asked... I just assumed canned apple pie filling, but I didn't want to express my astonishment (read: judgment) around missing out on a really good flaky, buttery, crust.

I'm sure the combo can be enjoyed in a variety of forms and formats.

A bit more honesty (with themselves and others) from both sides would make the process more enjoyable. If just looking to rail... do it on an app that is specific to that - there are plenty out there and can be found with the dating apps in any app store. Or be really blatant about it in a profile on a dating app. Don't…

Level up to cinnamon ice cream with that apple pie.
