On a first date like this, should I have paid for the whole meal, or would it have been more appropriate for us to split the bill?

Should I send one gentle message to check in, or would it be better to wait and give her space?

I had been dating a woman I met through an app, and we talked every day before and after meeting for dinner. After that meeting, she stopped replying for about a day, which is unusual for her; I am worried about her and also worried that she may have been disappointed or no longer interested.

Does your girlfriend expect you to text her every day?

I am dating a woman who wants me to message her every day and frequently throughout the day. When work or other responsibilities keep me from replying, we sometimes fight; she has said that not receiving a message makes her feel unsafe and that she wants reassurance that I miss her or think about her.

How can I tell whether leaving is the right choice when I still care about her but feel that my efforts have not made the relationship feel close or mutual?

I have been trying hard to make my girlfriend happy for about a year, including spending money on gifts and activities, but I still feel lonely, shut out of parts of her life, and unsure that she really knows or wants to know me. I am now wondering whether I should leave.

Online dating is so exhausting.But walking up to someone offline always feels a bit creepy.

I have been single for a few years and want to find a girlfriend. I have tried several dating apps, but online conversations leave me tired because I am unsure whether women are genuinely seeking a relationship, just chatting, or trying to earn money. I also find it very difficult to speak directly to a stranger or walk up to someone offline.
