There is never guilt or shame. There is only the feeling of celebration as you move past one tiny barrier at a time.

30 years old and never dated in my life and never had a girlfriend.

At this point, it feels way too late to do any of this. The notion of dating and being intimate/sexual with someone is so difficult to comprehend relative to my life, I actually have a hard time literally FANTASIZING about it because it’s such a foreign concept to my mind.

[admirbarucija]

I’ve never been on a date before. I find it all super confusing and complicated

[genio]

The one tip I'd give is: Friendship.
The base of any kind of relationship is a friendship. If you start by befriending you'll get to know the person and for a reciprocal bond and those kinds of relations are the best.

As much as I loved all this advice on HOW to enter the dating world and the mindset people should have, I was hoping this video would go into the WHERE to enter and where to find people to date. That's a different, and equally challenging, question to answer, particularly when it feels like dating has been relegated to apps, and yet there is tremendous burnout regarding such apps since you may encounter bots, scam artists, or people who only have profiles as a means of seeking validation without any intentions of seriously seeking to date. Having the right mindset doesn't really help if you don't know where to look.

Thank you, I learned to ignore my family pushing me the hard way

[hopeurdoingokday]

Wow. My parents have a problem with defensiveness and stonewalling..

Could y’all do a video on how not to become bitter for autistic people?

I got rejected by a girl I loved, whom I was also ‘friends’ with. She checked all the boxes, but in hindsight, she never even cared about me, and only kept me around because I was funny and gave advice and encouragement. That pain was unexplainable, even more so when I noticed she treated me differently when I opened up to her about being autistic. She wasn’t aware of this, and wasn’t trying to be this way, but she never cared to ask or open conversation (unless I wasn’t there.)

I’ve been treated like trash and manipulated for work, then betrayed after the class is done by people around me since I was 10 (or really since I began noticing it.)

It’s really hard to not become bitter, especially when you’ve never had genuine connections to people. How can I not lose myself?

Edit: also found out I was an INFJ after some digging through some past papers and found a printed sheet with my meyers-Briggs test results. STRIKE TWO for inability to connect!

i was feeling like if love is real from the beginning then its not gonna fade away. so i was comfortable, i was thinking he loves me so bad, he never gonna give up on me. we were seeing each other once in a month but i was happy. but sadly his love for me was over. so basically for me, just pay attention to the activities, events etc. make time for each other, even if u guys busy.. just do your best if u don't want to lose that person.

[Juuchan]

I've never been on a date before (and I'm nearing 40... I know, it's a rarity), so this is very helpful for someone like me that has no idea what to look for or deal with. I hope that these can help me out in perhaps finding that soulmate that I hope is out there! Thank you for making this!

[haydenkuhns]

Yeah, I’m personally having trouble deciding whether or not I should even try dating. I’m on Prozac for my anxiety and the way it messes with my emotions, with the apathy and what not, makes me think I should wait and work on my social and mental health. I think it’d be kinda cool if they could make a video for this niche.

[dsmscenester]

"After being away for a super long time and give no reason..."

What if you have never dated before and is now considering dating later in life after several curveballs (health, etc)? What is the proper way to answer the question without oversharing?

There are people who want to date, but things like health, unemployment, and life situations get in the way.

I had a friend looking to make more of a relationship than a friendship and they were far faster moving than I have ever been. I was always super upfront with them about it if they ask and I never let their pressure determine how I respond. At the same time, I didn't try to force them to hold back. I told them that I let them be them, I just wont respond in the same way! It's just quirky for someone to be more eager to secure a relationship while I am more methodical and think a lot about the future and want to get to know a person more than just the surface level facade they put on C:

If I beat them at a video game, do they get angry? bored and want to quit? defensive? They can tell me how they respond, but that is never 100% right so I like to experience it. After I do that enough times then I start to think more deeper about relationships!

Oh key thing, look how the person treats a waiter at a restaurant or their family 👀That's a better unfiltered view of a person!

[AtSymbolAtSymbol]

I will definitely need this ‘cause I’m single.













Edit: I got one like 5 seconds after I commented… HOW?!

[angelexcalibur]

I highly highly recommend everyone who starts dating to prioritize your self love journey above all else. Once you’re able to truly know your worth, you won’t allow anyone to walk all over it. 💗

[Jonezinghentai]

It's been just over a year since my girlfriend of 11 years ended our relationship. Even though it's been a long time, I still feel like I am not ready to start dating again, but I really enjoyed this video and found it helpful.
