Etiquette in the Dating World

Let it go. Your wife won’t do it

Bahahaha

Not with that attitude.

Just give her the shocker. If it works you’re in. If not …well it was an accident I guess.

Just being realistic. Once you feel you have to negotiate it, it’s over

Spouse bonuses???

Update.

It’s over with Dance Girl. Ending it was her idea, not mine. Long story. The short version is that it’s possible to have a strong emotional attachment to someone while also recognizing that there are a number of red flags that would be very problematic in a long-term relationship. For example, I had some health issues to deal with in recent months, and she wasn’t as understanding or patient with them as I would have liked. It’s the kind of thing where I’m not sure it would have worked out, but I definitely wish we’d given it a real try. Disappointing, because we’d known each other two years before trying and there’s a lot of closeness.

Anyway, I’m moving on, which is a process that will take some time.

Good luck to you frisian.

There seems to be a link between guys posting here about their dating experiences. The women always seem to be cold and detached emotionally (noncommittal etc.) Is this a common experience most guys have trying to find love in the big city dating scene?

You should have seen this place ~7 years ago.

Credit where credit is due Frisian, you successfully navigated your way out of the friend zone, got some, and avoided a long term commitment with someone who had a bunch of red flags, all the while providing entertainment for the AF community. AF is bigger than you or I, so the last part is really the most crucial.

9/10 - This thread was worth the read and had a fulfilling ending. You’ve given hope to everyone stuck in the friendzone

It doesn’t feel good right now. On the other hand, if we had gotten really serious and it fell apart, the hurt would be much worse. She’s got some great qualities and we connected very closely in some ways. There’s a lot of energy that I was willing to put into it. But I’ve been married before, and I know from experience that some of her other characteristics would present challenges. And, to be fair, I present challenges of my own.

Moving on is a process. Getting dates isn’t a problem. Finding someone who I feel strongly about, however, might take a long time. That’s tough to swallow.

The market is efficient in many ways.

frisian is the man women need, but don’t deserve. But I echo your thoughts, the tough part is finding someone you feel strongly about

this is everything you need to know…we’re all just looking for that unicorn

LMAO!! This should make me mad, but the presentation… hahaha!

(I’m totally a unicorn, BTW)

proof is required

Edit: Never mind I fondly recall you saying you were basically Asexual a week or two ago. Disqualified.

Well, my “topless selfie” confirms about 8 in hotness. My Briggs Myers score is INTJ… so, not crazy

If “unicorn” = 35-year-old Indian man, then you have me convinced.

there was no face in that pic…so it confirms nothing. Affairs of the heart can have a drastic effect on your Briggs Myers score…this is something that can only be determined in person.

you saying you’re a unicorn (which may in fact be true) sounds a lot like when a girl says to me that ‘they’ve never done this before’

I know… there is always a catch, isn’t there :wink:
