#Dating advice welcome

😨 I've got some catching up to do. I've never even held someone's hand like that, let alone gone on a date and I can assure you that I'm older than 16.

[not-my-facebook-status]

I have what is possibly a date tonight, for the first time in nearly a decade. And before that, I was dating my high school sweetheart whom I spent years pining for. I don't know how to do causal or new.

But a very pretty girl is going to come over and eat tasty food and drink yummy booze and we're going to watch a visually stunning musical in a language neither of us speak.

I ... should probably put on some make up? Shave my legs? Maybe a dress?

What is the protocol here? What am I doing? Oh goodness!

hinge or bumble?

hey there! may i request some recs? i’m looking for sweet, fluffy stories with a lot of pining, whether or not they realize their feelings. high school stories are preferred.

fav manga include: sasaki and miyano (love love love this one!!! the way sasaki will make a bold move and then secretly get really embarrassed…it’s the best (๑>◡<๑) ), hidamari ga kikoeru, the two lions, never understand

Hiii! Except Never Understand, I'm familiar with the rest of your favorite series and LOVE them! And if you liked The Two Lions by Furuya Nagisa, I'm sure you'll love the rest of their works as well. The Summer Of You and its continuation (Kodansha) is already out, and Number Call is finally picked up by Kodansha again! Not sure if it's out yet though. I think Suzumaru Minta has a similar tone to their works, you might want to check their releases in English.

You can find some other works that I love after the jump!

I don't do single volume purchases of manga as much as I did in the past, so most of my recommendations will come from Manga Planet! I'll mention if it's from a different publisher/platform. Starting with *drum rolls* high school sweethearts!!

Advice for Mutually Unrequited Love (Aniya Yuiji): Cute and quite different from the usual childhood-friends-turned-lovers story!

Hello (Kouda Miu): Anything Kouda Miu draws, I read. Another friends-to-lovers story full of future worries, insecurities, and questioning sexualities.

My Best Friend♂ Confessed to Me in a Dating Sim (Fujitobi): Two best friends find themselves transported into a dating sim. Fujitobi is another artist I like and their works always contain a supernatural/fantasy element. Super cute!

We Aren't Secure (Sojima Yuco): Omegaverse. Two close friends (one omega and the other alpha). I think the dynamic was included responsibly into the story and I enjoyed the conflict it brought.

Welcome Back, Aureole (Takatsu - TOKYOPOP): From the artist of Skip and Loafer. More soul-searching than the usual romance tropes but definitely worth the read!

Super Morning Star (Aomiya Kara - Kodansha): How can I NOT recommend a title that's dear to my heart and is finally in English??!! While it isn't really out of your ordinary high school BL, I don't know, I just have a really soft spot for this one!

I have additional titles that are, again, all works that I have reread again and again. The childhood friends trope is still here, but the stories are set in adulthood (college/working). All from Manga Planet, all highly recommended!

See You Later, Mermaid - Hayane Dento

Paint Love and the Colors Will Bloom - Shota Kon

Perfect Propose - Mayo Tsurukame

Aaand that's it! Hopefully these recommendations will be to your liking and don't forget to let me know what you think if you pick either of these series up. See you around ~

First date nervousness & matching tomato faces 💕

[pseudonemisis]

Just had to explain to someone I've gone on a few dates with that I don't really experience attraction and that while I'm not opposed to being in a relationship I don't know if I could perform as expected and I don't know if I've ever felt worse about myself

[jadeofblades]

head in hands. I need to plan for Saigoku week again but,,, I Don't Know what to do. Girl help,

[facelesspassport]

One of my firmest beliefs is that "safe spaces for men" will not solve the issue of male radicalization and patriarchy. If you want men to stop becoming terrorists you need to target the true source of misogyny: male socialization. Once a young boy is taught by his parents that women are inferior to him he is doomed to bigotry, because he lives in a world that will constantly reinforce this idea and reward him for agreeing. As for adult men who are already misogynists, the only way to convert them to feminism is to stop coddling them (and yes, I see all of the "safe spaces for men"/"male mental health" discourse as coddling). Coddling abusers only enables them (and yes, bigots are inherently abusers)! You can not convince an abuser to change by coddling/gentle guidance as this will only embolden them. We can only make men change by holding them accountable for their behavior as a class, period. I think that the best way to do this on a mass scale would be via reeducation camps, but we all know that westerners would see that as unethical somehow. So, our next best bet would be forcing our governments to create feminist programs that aim to do the following: stop domestic violence, "reform" abusers and rapists with court mandated abuser counseling, and educate young people on gender studies, safe sex, and relationship practices. China has a program called "the Ministry of Health and Family" which was created to stop misogynistic violence, and once it was instated their domestic violence rates plummeted. China did not create safe spaces for men to reduce terrorism- they held them accountable and it worked. We should follow in their footsteps. EDIT: I added screenshots and whatnot. nothing to see here, really Im just kinda seething.

I took screenshots of these comments that i made under the original post because I just knew that OP would block me after I wrote this- not because its any harsher than the other replies (in fact mine was pretty tame compared to some of the responses) but because I am spitting straight facts and OP is a misogynist. I just wanted to repost them here for my own safe keeping and sanity ig. I didnt care for the idea of discussing this with OP directly since I knew they wouldnt be interested in a feminist POV, but I was hoping that my comments would be seen by the audience. It bothers me when people make these huge discourse posts and then block certain commenters solely because they dont want their friends to see the opposing responses. It especially bothers me in this case because as we speak OP is fiercely & performatively "debating" with TERFs who obviously wont change their minds- yet they blocked me immediately (though I wasnt interested in directly speaking with them) because they knew my comments made them look bad, and Im willing to bet that they told themselves they "felt unsafe" or something to justify it.

Like, just say you hate women and go... :EDIT over

There should be actual self-help spaces for men (and especially young men) that aren’t just alt-right recruitment centers.

As a person who was a dude the places I wanted to go to with kind people (usually queer people) had at least a few people saying that “men are trash” or “men are inherent dangers” with no pushback and it scared me.

I’m decently emotionally mature and realized that just because some outliers were assholes didn’t mean the whole place was terrible but what about younger or less emotionally mature boys? They see “oh men are trash” and see no pushback then think “Oh. These people do not like me for something I cannot change. These other people (Jordan Peterson fans) like me for who I am (they don’t but they say they do). I will go to the place I feel safer and happier.”

Without a kind safe space for boys then they will go to these toxic places. I used to read a good amount of posts on r/Teachers and a lot of them are saying the boys don’t respect them, love people like Andrew Tate, so on and so forth. This is what happens when the only ���safe spaces” for boys aren’t actually safe.

Love is a beautiful journey filled with twists, turns, and unexpected surprises. Whether you're embarking on a new romance or nurturing a long-term relationship, navigating the path of love requires patience, understanding, and a touch of expert relationship advice. 

At The Complete Dating Package, we understand the intricacies of love and romance advice to help you cultivate and sustain fulfilling romantic connections.

Nurturing Love and Romance Advice: Ten Principles for a Fulfilling Relationship

In the intricate dance of love and romance, navigating the path to a fulfilling relationship requires a delicate balance of understanding, communication, and shared experiences. At the heart of it all lies a commitment to nurturing the bond between partners, fostering a connection that is both deep and enduring. 

Through embracing vulnerability, prioritizing communication, and infusing passion into everyday life, couples can cultivate a relationship that thrives amidst the complexities of modern living. 

In this guide, we delve into ten principles aimed at nurturing love and romance, offering timeless wisdom and practical love and romance advice to help couples build a relationship filled with warmth, understanding, and mutual respect.

1. Embracing Vulnerability: The Key to Authentic Connection

True intimacy stems from vulnerability—the willingness to open your heart and share your deepest thoughts, fears, and desires with your partner. Embrace vulnerability as a strength rather than a weakness, allowing yourself to be seen and understood on a profound level. 

By fostering a space of openness and honesty in your relationship, you'll create a foundation built on trust and mutual respect.

2. Communication is Key: Nurturing Understanding and Harmony

Effective communication is the cornerstone of any successful relationship. Take the time to truly listen to your partner, seeking to understand their perspective and emotions without judgment or defensiveness. 

Express yourself openly and honestly, articulating your needs, concerns, and feelings in a constructive manner. By prioritizing clear and compassionate communication, you'll foster deeper understanding and connection with your partner.

3. Keeping the Spark Alive: Cultivating Passion and Romance

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it's easy for passion and romance to take a backseat. However, it's essential to prioritize nurturing the spark in your relationship, infusing it with excitement, spontaneity, and affection. 

Plan regular date nights, surprise gestures, and romantic getaways to keep the flame of love burning bright. By investing time and effort into cultivating passion and romance, you'll create a relationship that continues to flourish and thrive.

4. Weathering Storms Together: Strengthening Resilience and Unity

Every relationship faces its share of challenges and obstacles along the way. Whether it's disagreements, conflicts, or external stressors, it's important to approach these trials as opportunities for growth and learning. 

Stand united with your partner, facing adversity with resilience, patience, and unwavering support. By navigating dating strategies together as a team, you'll emerge stronger, more connected, and deeply bonded in love.

5. Embracing Imperfection: Celebrating the Beauty of Uniqueness

Perfection is an illusion, and embracing imperfection is the key to experiencing the true beauty of love. Accept your partner—including their flaws, quirks, and idiosyncrasies—with unconditional love and appreciation. 

Celebrate the uniqueness of your relationship, finding joy in the moments of laughter, spontaneity, and genuine connection. By embracing imperfection, you'll create a relationship filled with authenticity, warmth, and genuine affection.

7. Prioritizing Self-Care: Nurturing Individual Well-Being

In the midst of nurturing your relationship, it's crucial not to neglect your own well-being. Prioritize self-care practices that nourish your mind, body, and soul, allowing you to show up as your best self in your relationship. 

Whether it's practicing mindfulness, engaging in hobbies you love, or setting boundaries to protect your energy, investing in self-care enables you to bring a sense of wholeness and vitality to your partnership.

8. Cultivating Gratitude: Fostering Appreciation and Connection

Gratitude is a powerful tool that fosters appreciation and deepens connection in your relationship. Take time each day to reflect on the blessings and joys your partner brings into your life, expressing sincere gratitude for their presence, support, and love. 

By cultivating an attitude of gratitude, you'll strengthen the bond between you and your partner, fostering a relationship filled with warmth, appreciation, and mutual respect.

9. Embracing Adventure: Infusing Excitement and Novelty

Injecting a sense of adventure into your relationship keeps things fresh, exciting, and invigorating. Step outside of your comfort zone together, exploring new experiences, hobbies, and destinations that ignite your sense of curiosity and wonder. 

Whether it's trying a new activity, embarking on spontaneous road trips, or planning an adventurous getaway, infusing your relationship with a spirit of adventure creates lasting memories and strengthens your bond as a couple.

10. Practicing Forgiveness: Cultivating Compassion and Healing

Forgiveness is a transformative act that cultivates compassion, healing, and growth in your relationship. Recognize that both you and your partner are human, prone to making mistakes and experiencing moments of imperfection. 

Practice forgiveness with an open heart, letting go of resentment, and choosing to extend grace and understanding to one another. By embracing forgiveness, you'll create a foundation of compassion and empathy, allowing your relationship to thrive amidst challenges and setbacks.

The Final Wrap Up

Love is a journey—an adventure filled with joy, growth, and endless possibilities. With our expert love and romance advice and unwavering support, you'll navigate the path of love with confidence, grace, and a heart full of love. Embrace the beauty of connection, cherish the moments of togetherness, and celebrate the extraordinary journey of love that awaits you.

Anyways I’m very conflicted because I went out on a date Saturday and that went as well as first dates can go but then I went out on Sunday with someone I dated previously and they gave a whole speech about wanting me back and idk I was like sure but now the Saturday guy is wanting to pursue things (idk why I thought that would just fade out)

And now I don’t know what to do because I’m actually worse with options and it’s why any type of roster dating makes me go insane
