Hello everyone, as my title suggests I’m feeling very discouraged and sad, as I’ve failed my G test 3 times at the Oakville location.

I passed the G2 on the first try but every time on the G test they keep penalizing me for minor things. Example: you need to turn your head more, you didn’t turn left fast enough, etc. While also saying “oh but everything else was great”

I only have one month before my license expires and there’s no availability in Oakville before then. Where should I try going? I found a spot for June 1 at Downsview — should I go for that? Any advice?

Thank you.

Hello! So I’m planning to go to Puglia with my mom this summer (July) for about 7-10 days. Last year, I went with some friends to Porto Cesareo, Torre Lapillo and Punta Prosciutto and absolutely loved it.

But with my mom neither of us want to drive (was necessary in Porto Cesareo and vicinity) and so I’m trying to find a place for us to go that has comparable beaches (long stretches of sand + calm clear water), beach lidos, calm, and a cute town nearby and all fairly walkable. Our plan is to take the train/bus down from Rome.

I saw Baia Verde online, however, am not sure what the beach is like.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Hello all! So as the title suggests I’m currently unsure as to whether to end my situationship or continue to go with the flow.

I (28F) met this guy (33M) on a dating app about 3 months ago. Right after our first date he mentioned that he was in the middle of transitioning into a new career (TBD) and wasn’t in a place for anything serious. I was happy with that because I also wasn’t looking for anything serious and he wasn’t what I was looking for on paper (he’s alternative punk rock and I’m a good girl).

As time has progressed though, he’s started acting more and more like a boyfriend — he comes to pick me up from work, he buys me gifts, he cooks for me, he wants to hang out every few days, he plans dates for us, he texts me all the time etc. this has made me confused cause it contradicts the idea of “casual”.

The problem is that he’s inconsistent like some days he’s there others he’s not which makes sense because we’re casual but now it’s starting to bother me — which I know means that I’ve caught feelings.

This last week we had a fight because of it and I could tell he was really anxious to resolve it and made statements like “I really miss you could we please talk about this?” “I really like you and it’s scaring me” Etc. My friends are saying for me to break up with him because they feel that he’s already written me off as just casual due to the fact that we’re so different in terms of career — with me being “out of his league” (his words and that of his friends) and him always comparing us indirectly.
I lean avoidant and so all these feelings are also overwhelming me, particularly the idea that I potentially like him more than he likes me. It also bothers me this idea he keeps saying of me being “out of his league” since I don’t see it like that and almost makes me feel like he’s penalizing me for my hard work.

I guess my question is — do I end it because of the fact that it probably won’t progress or do I give it time and see whether we both get to a place to where we want each other completely?

so after a series of disappointments I’m wondering whether I should realistically just stop dating.

I was with my ex for 5 years, took 2 years off from dating, re-entered dating scene via dating app 2 months ago. I live in a big city but never really interact with any cute men IRL as I’m pretty introverted.

Since then my experience has been as follows:

1. ⁠every man I’ve matched with wanting to take me out on nice dates but then:
2. Multiple dudes telling me I’m a prude because I won’t have sex with them after 2 dates
3. Another one loving bombing me for 2 weeks (despite my guard being up) and then hitting me with the “you’re not the right person for me” text
4. another one who I actually really (and am still seeing) like treating me like I’m his gf but not wanting to be exclusive

I feel like I’m having a hard time cause a) I’m not sexually promiscuous b) I’ll call them out/challenge them when I sense some bs or lack of authenticity and c) I’m looking for an intelligent and consistent man.

With all these men, I’ve tried to be open minded, flexible and interested in making plans and getting to know them.

Am I cooked?

hi everyone! I’m wondering if someone else has had a similar experience on the dating apps.

I met this guy about 2 weeks ago and we went on a date. Went well and he was blowing up my phone afterwards and we made plans for this Saturday night. From after the first date, hes telling me he wants to be my man and wants me to be his gf—which to me was strange cause we only met one time and barely knew each other. Hes also calling me nicknames, asking me what we’re gonna do this summer, etc. which I also found strange cause we …just met! He told me he was looking for something serious and I said we could see where it went. But I was a little weary and distrusting of all this affection so soon, so I challenged him on it sometimes (“really you want to be my bf? But we only just met”)

Seemed like a good dude with a fairly stable and calm life. Seemed to be open to everything I said and never mentioned anything bothering him. On Monday, I was having a terrible work day and was a little distant with him explaining I was having a long day at work and felt tired.

On Tuesday, I wake up to a text from him saying how amazing I was but that he had to cancel our date on Saturday because I wasn’t the right person for him at this stage of his life.

???? How does someone go from “I wanna be your bf” to “idk if you’re the right person” (this is why I had my guard up lol). Is this common? Why would someone do this?

Hello all,

I’m feeling really confused and lost and haven’t been able to figure it out. I was with my ex for 5 years and we had a terrible break up. I loved him so much and thought we’d be together for life. After that ended, I took two years to myself to just reset and fix my life. I now have a life I’m very proud of—a career, amazing friends, I travel, have tons of hobbies, take care of my body, went to therapy, etc. in terms of relationships though, I have no idea what I want.

I realized in these 2 years alone that I really like being alone. I like my independence and freedom so much and find it hard to balance that with a relationship. Additionally, I find it soooo hard to actually like someone, I usually realize after 2 dates that it’s not gonna go anywhere because they’re not what I want. Recently, I decided to get back into dating and got a dating app. I met someone who I actually sort of liked but he’s not in a place to prioritize me (wants to explore his options) and, on paper, he doesn’t have any of the qualities I want. I went out w other guys from the app but didn’t like them.

My issue is that I want to find the right person, but I don’t know how. I have a huge heart and care a lot but don’t have anyone to appreciate it. I don’t like anyone and idk how to be in a relationship without compromising my freedom and life “balance”. I also find it so difficult to trust someone and actually let them in, especially cause I find guys only like me cause I’m “hard to get”. I’m also very socially progressive but sexually conservative and am finding a lot of these dudes like things I’d never wanna do.

Any advice would be appreciated!
