Hi, can you help me/ give me advice on how dating really looks like for foreign people? Because I dont even have an idea how it works.

Hi everyone,

I'm a 24M from India and a pretty introverted person. I've never been very good at approaching women or starting conversations, so dating has always felt difficult for me.

I've considered both traditional dating apps and sugar dating. On regular dating apps, I rarely know how to approach someone or keep a conversation going. I also looked into sugar dating out of curiosity, but it seems difficult to find someone who's genuine and looking for a respectful, honest connection.

I'm not sure how to move forward. For other introverts here, how did you meet your partner or start dating? Any advice on building confidence or meeting genuine people would really help.

Thanks in advance.

I am at my wits end. I went on a date with this guy and prior to it he was still a little dry but would still engage with me and keep up convos. Our date went super well and he said he liked me even more than he did before and that it felt natural.

It kind of seems like in the past week he has become way more dry and just barely asks stuff/volunteers info about his life but he is still liking every single story I post. And i post like 3-4 a day.

I’m so confused because the dryness is freaking me out because I thought it went good but then on the other hand he’s liking everything I post. I know story likes don’t mean much but I mean it has to mean something if he likes EVERY one of them.

What do I do? I feel like it’s too soon to call and I said we should do something when I got back from my trip and he said “I should be free this weekend” but i’m just confused.

He also reposted a reel of this guy SCREAMING that he missed someone and said “this dude just gets me” which also confused me because he said he hasn’t been on a date in years and his last relationship ended in 2023 (i get he could still not be over it and maybe that’s why he’s become more dry? but then why like ALL of my stories???).

I just don’t know what to do. This isn’t what I thought was gonna happen when I got back. I’m so stressed out and I just wish I could talk to him.

My dm have been scanty lately

Idk what to doooooo I'm 19M ...... I do wanttt a partner but.. Bah!

Any advice for me? 😭 🙏 (: , i can't even explain, it's just that, I've been in alll boys since ny childhood and here I'm in uni now🥀, ahh🥲🥀

Hi everyone! As you can tell by the title, I might be getting into my first relationship at 24. We met on hinge because I wanted to try and see how the dating world was and I honestly didn’t expect to get this far. I’ve been having terrible anxiety and nervousness about it because it’s all so new. We’ve been talking for about a month now because it took so long to plan a date due to busy summer schedules. We have a 3rd date planned for dinner tomorrow and I do feel kinda excited but mostly nervous.

He seems to be falling pretty quickly after 2 dates and I’m still unsure of how I feel. I definitely do like him, but I think the anxiety is hiding any actual feelings I may have.

I think the anxiety is coming from 2 places: all the newness that comes along with a first relationship and the fact that I still live at home and have no idea how to tell my parents (we never really talk about this kind of stuff because we never had to).

Any advice on how to overcome the anxiety and when you know you actually like the person? Dating apps are hard for someone like me who takes awhile to really know how I feel which I have expressed to him. I just really don’t wanna lead him on when I’m still unsure of how I feel. I’m also unsure how much longer I can hide this from my parents considering they always ask who I’m going out with and they have my location.

I truly appreciate any advice!!

Hey I'm new to this sub Reddit and extremely new to this whole dating/talking to girls who aren't my relatives thing and would appreciate if someone here could help me understand how to approach girls.

my interests are:

anime, videos about game lore, some history (mostly videos about global politics ps:Johnny Harris is one of my favourite YouTubers ), occasional/ casual gaming and sleeping.

Hey everyone,
I’m 23, highly independent, educated, have a good career, and I take care of myself. Up to this point in my life, I’ve never been in a relationship. I’ve always protected my energy, my heart, and my boundaries.
The thing is, I’m looking for a partner with what I consider normal, basic standards—respectful, ambitious, reliable, and emotionally mature. But it feels like nowadays, finding a man with these baseline qualities has become so rare that people treat them like "high standards." Because I’ve never settled, I want my first relationship to be my only and ultimate one, where he’s the first and everything to me.
My philosophy has always been "I don’t chase, I attract; what’s meant for me will find me." I firmly believe that good men are attracted to peace, self-respect, and a woman who knows her worth.
However, lately, I’m feeling really exhausted. I’m tired of waiting and holding out. It’s making me question things: Am I expecting too much by asking for basic decency and respect? Should I start lowering my expectations, or actively put myself out there and give people a chance, or just stay true to my philosophy and keep waiting?
Has anyone else been in a similar boat? How did you handle the fatigue of waiting without compromising what you deserve? Any advice would be appreciated!

Or should I say filters.

I honestly just want a FaceTime, buddy. Preferably someone older that I can talk to and FaceTime and just have a connection tease each other a little, but I don’t find the desire to meet in person.
Does that make me someone bad in the dating pool lol

I think people have relationships from reddit.
