Like clockwork they come back around after you’re not phased that they want to “end” things
Need some advice... Got a coworker who's 24, I'm 40, I but look like I'm 30. Anyways, she's beautiful, smart, funny, cool, she's dope! She asked me to go to the club with her and her female cousin a few months ago, and since then, we hang out frequently, and do all the things a couple would do, but our relationship has been completely platonic. Folks at work started questioning her about us being in a relationship, and hating on us being so close, which has caused us to become even closer friends.
The problem that I'm having is that I've grown to love her, and want to be more than friends. Obviously neither of us are in a relationship, but I know that if she were to get a boyfriend, I'd be salty as hell, and would probably stop dealing with her. Should I tell her how I feel?
Unserious behavior? I was genuinely looking for some advice. I know what I need to do, but I also know what I've got to doYou are too old for this unserious behavior
Have you had sex with her?I do love her as a friend, but I can't lie, I'm catching feelings.
You 40 years old playing friends with a woman (24 at that) and asking a message board for advice.Unserious behavior? I was genuinely looking for some advice. I know what I need to do, but I also know what I've got to do

Unserious.
He admitted he knew what he needs to do. It’s not harsh to say this to a 40 year old man.Let’s not be so harsh as he’s asking for some proper guidance in his situation. We tend to to forget that some aren’t too keen when it comes to dynamics of forming a romantic relationship.

This one is pretty cut and dry but you may see it differently. I’m usually pretty understanding but I don’t see a lot of room in the margins here.Sometimes we think we know what we need to do but at times we seek a bit more info to see if we are making the right decision. More like a second opinion for those whom are outside the situation
Not gonna lie, i did think about this.
From what i've divulged from her she's not done anything thats considered freaky or kinky, just good ol regular sex
But we talked about kinkying up the sex
A part of me whats to speak to her exes just to find out if the sex was just as boring (not bad) as it is with me.
Need some knowledgeable opinions on this situation i find myself in
So i'm dating this gorgeous woman for about a year now late 20s, no kids great body, the type i envisioned i could settle down with
...and many aspects of our relationship is good, we get along, we're always laughing, she listens and adjusts to issues that we've had in the past and she holds similar values to mine.. we seems to have the same goals in mind.
...and all that is great apart from one thing... the sex
Sex for the most part is ok to slightly below good but never great. Boring and conservative is the word that i would use. It just seems like she doesn't fully enjoy the act of sex as much (especially compared to other women i've been with) and views it as something thats part of being in a relationship. Best way i can explain it is more of a chore then a hobby
So we discussed it the other day and she basically explain that shes not really into foreplay like that and she can be lazy which she's trying to work on but she does enjoy sex
...Honestly she comes across as the type of women that because she can easily get male attention she's never really needed to put effort into her sex game.
My main concern is if this is whats already happening a year into the relationship this definitely gonna get worse in the future. I done already told her that i wouldn't settle being in a relationship where im only getting sex once a month.
Aight, long post but your boy could use some extra input as I'm mulling some shyt over.
I'm at a crossroads...I've started seeing one of the women I was messing with exclusively after ~3 months of dating, and I'm conflicted because I honestly
didn't expect the strong connection being built.
On the one hand, I really enjoy my time with her and find our personalities balance really well. She's shown she's capable of being submissive...if we argue and she's in the wrong, she apologizes really quickly. She hears me out when we disagree, and has been open about me being the 1st person who's been able/willing to call her out on BS as a man because of how I communicate, and my life being together enough to hear me out.
The sex is phenomenal, she offers to cook for me, and offers help if I even passingly mention a problem. She also has a soft, emotional side despite being a direct communicator, which I find really attractive. Overall, I'm really feelin her and our dynamic on a personal level.
On the other hand, I have a couple of hang-ups...
1. She's not black - she's half Asian half white. She spent her pre-middle school life in Asia and has lived in CA since she's been in the States. As I've gotten older, I'd envisioned myself w/ a black woman, and this is throwing me for a loop.
I'm not sure if I want kids yet, but I know having grandkids who are mostly white would honestly ether my entire existence. The thought of being that cliche makes me sick. I also just don't like the idea of being another successful black man "dating out". She grew up poor, so I'm not disconnected with her in the same way I would be if she grew up privileged. This is connected to...
2. She's in her 30s...turning 32 in July. If I have kids, I want multiple, which means we'd need to fast track shyt. I really don't like that idea.
3. She does party drugs (molly, LSD) and is into the EDM/rave scene. I've met her party "crew" and heard about how she is when she's high (no red flags). I trust her but I'm not into that scene at all, and I don't the impression she's willing to dip out of it just yet. She was upfront with me that when we met, she was just looking to fukk, so the shyt makes me a little residually uncomfortable. Potential GF going to raves & doing drugs w/ me not in sight.
#1 is by far the biggest hang-up, honestly, and the only reason I would end shyt right now. All told I'm really feelin her, but I don't know how where being intentional vs. over-thinking shyt begins or ends. It's only been 3 months that we've been dating.
Every time I imagine ending things because this doesn't fit my life picture, I don't know the words to say because I know, based off our vibe/connection, she'll know it's bullshyt if I'm not transparent on the reason. On the other hand, dropping #1 as the reason would feel really, really shytty.
Ultimately, I don't want to waste her time...but I'm really not sure if I'm wasting her time yet.
What do yall think?
