About to have a first date! Wish me luck
Good luck familia
Booty called.
Afraid I'll catch feelings
What do?
Booty calls a booty call. As long as the feelings you catch don't run too deep, do iiiit.
Im bored. Whats the best date some of yalls ever been on?
I was at work, went on my break, got some food and then off to the lounge. There was a chick sitting there and most of the other tables were full and I didn't want to deal with anyone at that moment. So I sat on the other end of the table on the opposite side and I started eating. She kept side eyeing me for some reason so I said fuck it I'll chat her up a bit. She was vibing me and she seemed like a cool enough girl so when our breaks ended we got on the elevator and I asked her if she wanted to go out sometime.

She said sure and then at the end of our closing shifts she sees me clocking out and asked me if I wanted to go out right then. Apparently her idea of a date was just walking around for a few hours in Mahattan. I wasn't really up for it at first but once the conversation started moving I was enjoying the hell out of myself. She was playfully hitting me, holding me and just generally having fun.

One of the moments that stood out to me was when we got to Central Park. I've never seen it from this perspective but it was a bunch of building and then sudden there's a fence and the buildings end abruptly. The park is lower than then the rest of the city block so it just looked like the end of the world to me (yeah I know It's corny but I was amazed by it!) anyway we continued walking and got to a water fountain across the street from the Apple Store and we just sat there on a cold night and had some deep conversations about life and other things. We started walking to the train station and she came in for the hug. She held me pretty tightly for like 20 seconds and thanked me for going out with her. We made out and went our seperate ways. I was glad I went. It was the most fun I've had on a date especially because we clicked.

So things were going pretty well and we texted for like three weeks and then out of nowhere she asked if I would run away with her or get married to her and she just had some emotional issues I hadn't even paid attention to. Plus she had a boyfriend she NEVER told me about.

But yeah that was the best date I've had.

First time in Dating Age thread.
Been going to this night club in hopes of meeting new people.

New to going to a night club, and never been much of a dancer, but I've been trying to dance a lot, figure that's something I'll just get better at as I go, but I'm not sure if I'm better off doing that in hopes of finding someone to dance with, or hanging around the bar area and trying to strike up a conversation with someone would be better.

Any advice?

Went today and not much came from it. Going back tomorrow.

Anyone having problems with notifications on Tinder after the latest update? I get zero notifications, even if I got a match / message on the app. iOS here

Unexpectedly miss CSI is going to stay the night tonight.

God damn I need to go buy some breakfast.

Nightclubs worked good for one night stands yeah. Never met anyone special there. I do like to go to pubs and social bars though. The difference being that its mostly people standing around in groups talking and sitting at tables ordering food with a tiny dancefloor and live music instead of the deafening base and huge dancefloors you see at nightclubs.

I feel like they are definitely better for mingling and meeting people.
 
Weird night: I think I was vibing with this Brazilian, but it was weird having my friend and his girl there. This guy's super outgoing and hilarious, whereas I'm more serious. I play better when I'm solo. Got her number, though. (They were definitely trying to push us together.) And I just asked her out.

We were holding hands within an hour, but she's super traditional and wouldn't let me kiss her after I walked her home. She called me sensitive, but she also said I looked like Chris Evans. So I guess that's why things work for me.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

She looks a lot like my ex-girlfriend (not a bad thing...), and I definitely wasn't at my best, but I scored enough points. It was hilarious to (unintentionally) snoop on the girls' conversations in Portuguese, though.

This is going to be a saga; I'm already predicting it.
Still miss my paralegal. I wish it were Monday so I could see her.
 
I think that was the best first date I've ever had. The only not great thing was that she only told me afterwards that she was allergic to latex. She said she forgot to ask what kind I was using the first time and the second time she just didn't want to stop. I'll take the ego boost of being chosen over an allergy-free night I guess. If we go out again I'll need to research non-latex options. Anyone have any leads in that area?
 
It's the first sentence of the OP!

Do I not get credit for the RuPaul .gif, at least?

First sentence is like discount. It's like those discount movies you find the garbage bin at Walmart. (No one reads OT beyond the title anyways lol)

It's a good gif. It checks out. Although I dislike RuPaul, but that's another story.

I heard of some sheep skin condoms or something like that. (Trojan Naturalamb??) I hear raw dog is a pretty hypoallergenic option.

Hey, no reason to feel bad. Look at your earlier posts and realize how far you've come, and how much more full your dating life, and life in general, is.

Dating is (or should be) fun and leads to growth as a person.
That's true.

I guess I hate seeing how much time I wasted, although I was dealing with my anxiety for most of it.

Because I started so late I honestly feel like I'm in my early 20s despite being 27...

Some people need to chill with their dating profiles

Try Skyn.

Those don't prevent anything.

Skyn. Nobody involved is allergic to latex but they almost feel like nothing and my partners have told me Skyns feel like close to no condom at all as well. So if they feel great to both me and her, I think I can confidently recommend them.

Lifestyle Skyn is exactly what I was going to recommend. I have either the large or extra large because of fitting reasons. They're pretty damn good and worth the money. Can get a 24 pack off Amazon for 10 bucks or so.

Thanks! I went and got those. Had to go to two Walgreens before I found the Large version though. I'll order off amazon in the future.

This isn't specifically exclusive for dating but, for some reason, I feel like my confidence has been at an all time low recently. I'm pretty happy and content with myself of where I currently am in my school life, but I've gotten super paranoid recently. I've been trying go out and make new friends and ask girls out and whatnot, but I'm been too afraid of what they'll think of me. It's kinda embarrassing to admit after being to therapy and spending almost all of last year dealing with my issues and bettering myself. When I see people on campus I can't help but feel that everybody has friends and are in a close knit group with each other. I know its dumb and makes no sense and I am drastically overthinking this, but most irrational fears are like this. It's gotten worse since the beginning of the semester and I need some tips to better myself in this regard.
