Play back all the times you gave a woman your number in the past and tell me with straight face that outside of a professional setting it was completely platonic on your end.

How do you know these 2 guys want something more than friendship?So today I got kind of mad because my girlfriend had 2 guy's numbers typed on a note in her coat.
From what I've seen she usually gives her number to people she meets, and I guess thats ok but it still irks me because I know those men want something more than friendship, anyway I just have to get used to it I guess.
It's not so common, but it happens.Anyone got any stories of a girl making the first move?
I once had a dream where a girl asked me out. Pretty good dream.

I once had a dream where a girl asked me out. Pretty good dream.
I didn't check her pockets, she took it out and let it on my bed (with other things), she opened it herself and then I noticed the numbers when she showed me the paper, and then she remembered she had them.
I don't know, I was just making a guess I suppose. Is hard for me to believe that they just want a friend, I guess this is my problem after all but most of the time when I see a guy trying to get someones number is because he is interested in her romantically, I tend to think the reverse is true as well but I guess im wrong.How do you know these 2 guys want something more than friendship?
And why do you assume the guys want something more than friendship?
Either way, you either trust her or you don't. It seems that you don't. You should address that.
Just from ones I wasn't interested in.Anyone got any stories of a girl making the first move?
I once had a dream where a girl asked me out. Pretty good dream.
Girl walked up to me and asked me out in middle school. Told em to leave me alone and then left cause my self esteem was in the gutter and I thought they were playing a prank on me, which had happened to me before. The first time a girl showed interest in me turned out to be an awful prank, and every girl since I thought they were fucking with me for laughs. I still sometimes think it might be a joke when it happens and have to really push that feeling back down. Boy, that really left an impression on me.Anyone got any stories of a girl making the first move?

So, fact is she had nothing to hide and she told you what they were. If she took their numbers but did not give them hers then it's nothing. You need to do something about your insecurity.I didn't check her pockets, she took it out and let it on my bed (with other things), she opened it herself and then I noticed the numbers when she showed me the paper, and then she remembered she had them.

Some behaviors of hers makes it harder for me to be at peace at times, she likes being hit on and she tends to give her number really easily (from what I've seen) plus quite a number of times she has told me "I met this guy today that was really handsome" and well these type of stuff doesn't help my insecurity lol.
SO messaged me first, commenting on a funny picture in my OKC profile.Anyone got any stories of a girl making the first move?

I'm not sure how could I address that. I think I've already told her that due to my family story I tend to be doubtful about some stuff, besides that I'm not sure how to proceed. My insecurity due to that gives me a hard time to trust people I guess, this is something I need to work on.

Anyway I need to work on it somehow.
I'll take a different route and I think these are are no no. Is she giving out her number to guys in front of you? Because that's a straight NO from me. Also, why does she consistently tell you about handsome men?
You mentioned she's in University so I'm assuming she's young and loves attention.
Also, someone mentioned married men as if that's okay to give out their number to women. Absolutely not
Instead of losing your shit, you should have been asking questions. I would definitely set my boundaries with her because I wouldn't put up with this.
No she doesn't give her number out in front of me but she has told me about some guys she met and what they say to her in WhatsApp so that's how I know that she gives it easily. I'm like "why did you give him your number?" And she's like "he seemed like a nice/cool/friendly person, there's nothing wrong in making friends".
She met a Chinese guy in a restaurant the other day (she has an obsession for Asian guys btw) and he added her to Facebook and then my GF gave him her number because why not?... (She told me about this because something funny happened in that restaurant and she told me the story).
About the handsome men thingy I don't know why she brings that up so often, today I asked her "do you like making your SOs jealous or something? Cos you always talk about...", And she said nope, that's just how she is but since that makes me uncomfortable she is supposed to stop doing that for now.
Yes she's in University, she's 21 and she loves attention from what she has told me, so yeah. She likes when random people catcalls her, she feels good about herself when that happens and things like that (she told me that).
The good is she's telling you about it so far. The bad? Why is she giving out her personal number to lots of men? That is unacceptable.
I would definitely work on becoming a handsomer man. This is possibly a ding against you since she repeatedly brings it up. Also, if it ever went south, you're already ahead of the game(lifting heavy weights, cardio exercise, athletic hobbies, etc).
She's a young woman who consistently craves attention from men. Think about it Shal.
Is this the type of woman you want long-term? Is this the type of woman you would want to marry?
I dont like the fact that she gives out her number so easily (from my perspective at least) but it's true that is fine to meet new friends and such. For me is hard to draw the line here, if she makes new friends then cool but I feel uneasy about this number thing regardless. Personally I don't go out and give my number to new chicks I meet who "I find friendly" but that's just me.
About the "becoming handsomer" (lol at the wording) I'm already in good shape to be honest (thankfully), can't do much else.
The fact that she seem to like attention from other men makes me uneasy and I don't know how to deal with it besides working on my insecurity.
Also, should trust be something granted at the start of a relationship or something that you earn? I'm leading towards the latter and to be honest some of her behaviors and actions (like the ones I have mentioned before) makes it difficult for me to blindly trust her, I want to trust her but I'm an insecure mess I guess.
For now I will just try to eat my insecurity and play dumb while trying to work on it, let's see how it goes.
About the "is she someone I would.like to.marry?" My answer sadly is leaning towards no, she has told me a lot of times that her ideal relationship would be to be with a sugar daddy, someone who buys her stuff often and someone that brings the money so she doesn't have to work. I don't like that idea (I've told her already) but I still like her so I'm taking those comments more on the jokey side (I hope she's not serious about it). I'm more of the opinion of both cooperating with everything and no one taking advantage of the other, that's what I would like at least.
There are other iffy things as well, for example one of her "dreams" is being a prostitute and a stripper, being paid to have sex and quite a few times she has joked saying "you should throw me money now hahaha". I take it as a joke as well but she has said that like 3 times now. Also a lot of times she has asked me "what would you do if you find me with your brother" or stuff like that. She finds it funny and asks in a jokey manner, she likes "thinking about extreme cases" but she has asked stuff like that so many times now that it starts to make me feel doubt.
Overall she seems like a really honest person, but sometimes actions like the ones I mentioned make me question if I can trust her completely or not.
She's also a bit special in that "she likes when there are problems on her relationships, it makes her feel alive" and that her relationship with her ex "was too perfect and it ended up being boring" :thinking:
You trying to deal with insecurities and her craving attention and wanting to make you jealous are a toxic combination.Well the fact that she loves attention (or that's my take on it at least) is what raises some trust issues in me as well.
There's also cases like, for example, this "new really hot guy who's really nice" in one of her classes with which she exchanged numbers with after sitting next to him and talking with him in a class. This guy messaged her "I got a ton of questions to ask you but I will do it in person". I told her he is just hitting on her and she's like "you think so? Nah". She said "I don't like him anyway" but the fact that she bringed him up in the first place and wants to see what he has to say makes me doubt more. If she's ok with making friends like that then I got nothing to do but stuff like this feeds my insecurity. The fact that she is so open to sharing numbers and such leaves me uneasy.
Just you gotta learn not to use your insecurities to self-sabotage the relationship. Do you trust her not to cheat on you or you're not at that level of trust yet in the relationship? Oh wait she likes to play attention games. If you're uncomfortable about it, let her know. Me and my fiance did this at first where we played with previous people we dated and saw how far they took it despite us saying we're together, but that was agreed upon at first so it was all consensual. But your relationship is not like that, so just communicate this worry to her.Yeah I need to do something about my insecurity, thanks for the feedback!

Great! Continue being in good shape and get stronger.
I pay attention to what a woman does, not what she says. From what you have been telling me, I would end the relationship
Oh.. blaming parents is another bad sign. I cant be sure but you might be dating a very troubled girl. There is a high chance you will get the role of the mother soon and get blamed for everything.
You really should communicate your insecurities and what makes you uncomfortable with your girlfriend next time you meet her, because bottling it up won't solve it. Then she will know where you are at, and what each of your boundaries are. Any time something was bothering me, I had an immediate chat with my partner and we talked it out, made our relationship and trust better.Yes I'm aware that it might be a thing of her immaturity and that she wants me to be jelous (she denies that she wants me to be jelous though).
Yes I already told her that her bringing up stuff like "this guy who is really good looking" makes me uncomfortable, hopefully she tones it down, will see how it goes.
And yes, her supposedly craving for attention does not combine well with my insecurity problem. I will try to deal with it and hope for the best. I really like her and want to make this work, at times I feel like I end up minimizing my feelings too much though, but this I rationalize it as "my insecurity is the issue so I just have to suck it up and deal with it". I wonder how many things I'm minimizing that I'm mistakenly attributing to my insecurity though, that rather are things that are indeed unhealthy about her behavior/actions.
Sometimes my insecurity makes me believe that everything is an overreaction on my part and so everything is my fault and I have to suck it up and deal with it, hard to draw the line like this.
Yes I will communicate my issues with her. I have already communicated most to her I think but yes I will be willing to communicate more if needed.
I think I'm not yet at a good level of trust with her. I don't know if this is something I should already have or is something that has to be nourished with time, I hope it's the latter lol.
And yes I tend to self sabotage my relationships and I hate it, have to work on that as well (I guess is positively correlated with insecurity).
She doesn't really blame her mom, she does indeed want to think good of her "she has given me everything". But she has told me that her mom usually tells her stuff like that and that's where I see some problems coming from. Sadly she's a victim of the circumstances in that case, her mom seems really shitty.
No she didn't try to convince me that her mom is shitty, that's my take based on what she has told me about her mom and what she has done lol. But yeah hopefully she isn't too troubled because of that.Eh I dont really trust people that feel the need to convince others their parent is shitty. But hopefully for you it doesnt mean she is cray.

Anyone got any stories of a girl making the first move?
I once had a dream where a girl asked me out. Pretty good dream.
Yeah, that's what online dating was for me. Although, roughly 95% of the time I wasn't interested. I imagine girls feel that way too when they're inundated with messages from guys they find undesirable.Anyone got any stories of a girl making the first move?
I once had a dream where a girl asked me out. Pretty good dream.
The only time a girl messaged me first on Tinder, she started chatting me up a few minutes after matching. She was very enthusiastic, so after like a 4-5 message exchange, I asked her out. She was really excited to meet up and we lived in the same neighborhood. Day before the date, I confirm with her via text and she can't wait. Day of date, can't get in touch with her. Decided to just go to the place we agreed to meet and sent her a text saying when I'd be there. Nothing, never heard from her again. At least the place was only 4 blocks from my house but still.Anyone got any stories of a girl making the first move?

Wait, how many times did you text her without a response? It sounds like you texted her like 10 times by how you describe it. Sorry to say but you definitely chased her off with that.So the other day on OKC I match with a girl I was friends with in high school. I had a huge crush on her back in the day, but no idea how to talk to girls. So we get to talking and lightly flirting and agree to meet up on Friday night. This was Monday, I believe. I get her number before going to bed, feeling good. The next day we're texting and flirting turns to innuendo which turns to full-on sexting, and she seems more excited than ever to meet up. The next morning there's a little more sexting before she just kinda stops responding. I step back and kinda qualify things, saying even aside from the obvious sexual excitement I'm eager just to meet up and catch up. I don't hear back. It's a long boring ass day at work, so I text her a few more times intermittently to no response.
The next morning she says she's sorry but it was a super busy day. Don't hear from her the rest of the day, I text her a few more times to try and keep the conversation going. I start to worry and get insecure because I see she's consistently online on OKC, at which point my insecurity boils over and I texted her five times yesterday, knowing what an insecure ass I'm being and killing all the good feelings and sexual attraction I'd built up. I ask her at two different points if we're still on for Friday night, hoping she'll just say yes and I can leave her be and shut myself up, but no answer. I did ask if she was up to anything last night, and just got a two word response "At work."
So now I feel like an idiot and still have no idea if we're still hanging out. Maybe it's been a super busy week for her and I'll see what tomorrow brings, but I feel like I really screwed the pooch on this one. Which is a shame cause it's a cute girl I used to like back in the day and I'd already turned her on and got her very eager to see me. But I just kept fucking talking.
Wait, how many times did you text her without a response? It sounds like you texted her like 10 times by how you describe it. Sorry to say but you definitely chased her off with that.
Yeah, they will draw blood and make you do a urine test. I'm assuming you're male? I've heard of some places doing a swab but that's never happened to me.So this is only tangibly related to dating, but can anyone tell me what an STI test involves (GF is going on bc)? I've heard there is a blood and urine test?
Male. Just thinking of the idea of a swab makes me queezy. I'm a wuseYeah, they will draw blood and make you do a urine test. I'm assuming you're male? I've heard of some places doing a swab but that's never happened to me.
Godspeed.Oh snap, I gotta do the whole parents meet the parents thing this weekend.
