At least we know why you'll die single

This. Dating is an investment of time and resources. You're telling stories about yourself with your choices and actions, not just your words. You don't need to go overboard (that's just the opposite side of this problem), but you shouldn't skimp, either. |
| You both sound exhausting and the fact that neither of you can't let this simple crap go does not bode well for your future. |
What might be simple for some of you might not be simple for others. My gf is very upset over it and would benefit from alternative perspectives |
What was your first date with her, OP? Is this a conflict about her thinking you were disrespectful, or is she observing something in general, such that this is really a very stupid thing to debate about? |
Explain how it is entitled to want to go to Starbucks for a $3 coffee. The men on online dating even refused to do that for her. She would have even paid for her own. |
We went for coffee which we both enjoyed. If you have not got anything better to do than post nasty comments,then do t even bother posting. |
You met her online. Did you refuse to go on a real date with her? If you are so in love, why are you even discussing what other men do on OLD? |
|
My wife and I went for a walk in Rock Creek Park on our first date. A proposed 30 minute walk turned into 3 hours together. We were exclusive after three dates and moved in together after a year.
Going for a walk allows the date to wind down quickly or easily extend to something longer if you hit it off. |
If you had a nice first date with her that met both of your needs, why are you discussing other men's "disrespectful" first date strategies? If she thinks those dates were disrespectful, fine. I wouldn't. You clearly don't. But she is her own person with her own needs. It sounds like her main complaint is that she found a lot of the men she met online did not want to put any effort into getting to know her or going on real dates. She does not seem to have that complaint with you. Problem solved. |
The problem is not solved, because she still feels bitter about it and is sometimes even angry about it |
| I think this depends. Do you tell your date up front so she doesn't show up in a pretty dress and heels? |
+1 Bingo. |
She's angry and bitter about a first date that she agreed to? You need to let this one go. I don't care how much you currently "love" her this is not someone you want as a wife or mother. |
| Are you for real? Walking date? Nope |
