Hey I’m not here to have any debate over issues just get some guidance on how to go about this. I 23m am a more conservative guy but I’m totally fine with dating moderate or conservative women. I’ve dated a liberal and it wasn’t compatible. For religion I believe in Jesus Christ but I didn’t grow up in the faith. I don’t attend church or read the bible frequently. I have had premarital sex, struggle with porn addiction, etc.

I say all this to give you my background. I dream of being a husband and father. I do desire sex and intimacy and have discovered a lot of the women who are into me want to wait till marriage and I’ve rejected them. Part of me wonders if I’m simply making a mistake with that. Another part of me feels I won’t be happy based on past dating experiences with waiting. Any advice on how to navigate this or give me hope that I can find a successful relationship. I yearn for love and affection. I’m trying to be the best man I can be. I appreciate all advice and feedback.

I'm relatively new to chess and I'm trying to discover my strengths and weaknesses so I can improve as efficiently as possible. I understand this game takes time, effort, and patience to gain skill. I currently play everyday doing puzzles and do at least 1 game a day with 15 minute time. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.

Basically I’ve found myself getting mad from losing a bunch and not understanding why my middle games are trash. I blunder and don’t see things and I’m aware that’s Normal since I’m sorta new and low elo (500s). Tips for how to manage this and be more encouraged.

I 23m have played chess off and on for a couple years. I recently decided to take it seriously and try to play consistently and improve. I played my local chess club and they’re typically way better than my elo (560). Today I played a guy rated 1900 and 1400. I lost to both but they said I play pretty good for a newer player. They said I have good board vision and grasp of the game. I said and they both agreed one of my biggest issues is tunnel vision. Is there a specific way I can improve that? Any advice or what to make of this is very helpful. I want to improve my elo. How often should I play vs study?

I 23m recently met a girl 20F on a dating app. She and I have similar interests but it’s odd to me. Specifically she’s never been in a relationship and has almost no social media presence. She has accounts and just doesn’t post. She’s snapped my over Snapchat so I know she’s a real person. I just kinda get an odd vibe about that. I’ve been in numerous relationships and she hasn’t. I also get the vibe she’s sort of shy and introverted. My friend says I judge too harshly and write off women too easily. I have also had my heart broke a lot.

I’m basically trying to figure out if my idea of simply going on a date to feel the vibe is the right move here. I’m trying to not be too judgmental and call off a 3rd date with a woman in the past 2 months. I appreciate all advice and feedback.
