Plenty of guys lose their hair early on but there are always styles for that. There are people with receding hairlines in their early 20s and they still find dating success on apps because of other positive features. I don't have much hair but I never let a factor I don't have much control over dictate my dating life :)
I'm 27 and have recently started shaving my head back in April, going bald sucks and is tough when it comes to dating but its not the end of the world. I feel more confident with my shaved head then with my thin hair and receding hairline. Its also forced me to up my style game and work out more to make up for my lack of hair. I was very awkward and shy when it came to meeting new people, especially on dates but the more I did it the easier it became. My advice is make goals that will help fight your insecurities like working out or eating better to get in better shape, or force yourself to talk to new people to make meeting new people less awkward. Also use your photo skills to your advantage, having good photos on these apps helps a lot. I had to get rid of all my old profile pics since I shaved my head so I'm in the process of rebuilding my dating pic portfolio.
Speaking from experiences (one marriage, many relationships), you tend to take what you've learned from each relationship and apply it to the next one, ideally growing with each one. Speaking for myself, pretty much every relationship has been better than the previous - although each one took longer/was harder to find than the previous; partly due to me being older, but also knowing better what I want and what someone can provide, and if they're receptive to what I can provide - meaning I was getting pickier, but in a healthy way, as it was emotional stuff that became deal breakers, rather than surface stuff.
No
No, you don't technically have a chance. Yes, you have been misreading the signs she's given you. The most blatant one is the "No" she gave you when you asked her out.
Every girl in existence has a story about a guy who took rejection VERY poorly. Asking for a specific reason will most likely result in a comforting lie. There's no way to predict which men can accept the truth, or who'll turn into a raving fuckwit who makes them fear for their life.
Have you asked her what she's on tinder for?
It's nothing. Don't worry about it, they all do it. They kinda have to, as women (rightfully) have more to fear from men than men do from women, so a little online sleuthing goes a long ways to calm any initial trepidation they may have.
Bumble is a long game, takes a while. Try Hinge instead(too)
Probably did 20+ when I was 18 and nothing happened despite my, and her apparent interest.
I usually kiss on the 2nd date. I must admit, I do try to on the first but I am not afraid to admit I seem to fail every time lol I totally understand though. Even if there is good chemistry, who knows what will happen after the day is up, we may never see each other again so why should she kiss every dude on the first date.
I don't know. If it was a random tinder match and they were just trying to assure themselves they weren't about to meet up with their murderer, it's fine. But it's her friend who is setting her up with her brother. That seems a little weird to me and I'd worry slightly if she was a bit too eager so to speak.
Reading this makes me sad, but it is what it is. You should be honest with your girlfriend before you cheat on her
Sounds like you're already checked out. Do her a favor and break up with her
She's more into you than you are into her and you're trying to let her down, right?
Pretty much yeah. This is the first time I'm seeing a girl without being all that crazy about her, so I'm not really sure how this goes. She's still fun to hang out with, but I don't want to give her the impression this is going to go much further than it already has
What's your next move, to let her know that this is just going to be a casual thing and go on another date or to break it off? Sounds like she's exploring her sexuality and has overinvested to the point of telling her relatives, so it's growing pains for her and you'll need to be gentle if you do have to break it off.
I mean ideally it would be nice if we could continue casually, but the signs kinda point to casual not really being an option? Already have a date with her tonight so I'm gonna talk to her about it then, but it sounds like the smart thing would be to de-escalate this in a gentle way.
it is common. i would not associate it with how the person acts in real life though.
Why don't you want to break up with someone who's incompatible with you? You deserve compatibility. It's not like you're married or have kids, should be easier to break it off. Unless you're afraid you won't be able to find someone else but then you've got this other woman you're more into than your current girlfriend, so that's not it.
Random bobby pins, hair bands, and hair strands everywhere you look.
