is it love or just fake dating with extra steps?

Ever been in a “relationship” that feels like… nothing? Like you're technically together, but emotionally you're just roommates who sometimes kiss? That’s not love—it’s what people call fake dating. You’re there, but not really there. No real talks. No future plans. Just surface vibes and lots of “idk what we are” moments. It usually starts from fear—fear of being alone, fear of real vulnerability, fear of getting hurt. So people settle for the illusion of connection instead of the messy, beautiful reality of it. But staying too long in something half-real? It chips away at your self-worth. You start wondering if you’re asking for too much when really—you’re not. You deserve something that feels alive. #relationshiptruths #datingstruggles #emotionalhealth #knowyourworth #fakeintimacy

why does my boyfriend feel so far away after two years together?

Hey everyone, I really need some advice. My boyfriend and I have been together for two years, and lately it feels like there’s this huge wall between us. We used to talk about everything, but now our conversations are just small talk or nothing at all. I miss the way we used to laugh and share things. I’m not sure what changed. Maybe we’re both just busy or stressed, but I can’t help but feel like we’re drifting apart. I’ve tried bringing it up, but he just says he’s tired or doesn’t want to talk about it. It hurts because I still care about him so much. Has anyone else been through this? Is this just a phase, or is it a sign something’s really wrong? I’d love to hear how others handled this kind of distance. Any advice would mean a lot. relationshipadvice #datingstruggles #emotionaldistance #younglove #relationshipadvice #datingstruggles #emotionaldistance #younglove #RomanticRelationships

is it possible to find love when your dating app is a ghost town?

Six months. That’s how long I spent swiping, scrolling, and second-guessing every photo on my profile. Not a single match. I started to think maybe my phone was broken or I was invisible to the entire internet. Then, just as I was about to delete the app for good, I met Jamie at a friend’s party. No algorithm, no profile pics—just two people awkwardly reaching for the same slice of pizza. We laughed, talked, and realized we both hated pineapple on pizza. It was weirdly perfect. Dating apps can feel like a black hole, but meeting someone in real life reminded me that connection isn’t always digital. My tip? Don’t let the apps mess with your confidence. Put yourself out there in real life, too. You never know who you’ll meet when you least expect it. Dating is weird, but sometimes the best stories start offline. #datingstruggles #relationshipadvice #singlelife #onlinedating #RomanticRelationships

is it normal for your boyfriend to ignore you when you’re hurt?

So last weekend, my boyfriend and I were cooking together. I accidentally touched a hot pan and burned my hand pretty badly. I was in a lot of pain and honestly expected him to help me out or at least show some concern. Instead, he just shrugged it off and kept doing his thing. I ended up running my hand under cold water alone while he barely looked up. Now my hand is healing, but I can’t stop thinking about how he acted. I feel like I would’ve dropped everything to help him if the roles were reversed. It makes me wonder if he really cares about me or if I’m just overreacting. Has anyone else dealt with something like this? How do you move past it when someone you care about doesn’t show up for you? relationshipadvice #datingstruggles #trustissues #emotionalhealth #relationshipadvice #datingstruggles #trustissues #emotionalhealth #RomanticRelationships

why does dating feel like a never-ending headache?!🤯

Before I got into a relationship, life was simple—no drama, no overthinking. But now, it feels like every day is a new worry. Dating comes with constant emotional exhaustion. I can’t even explain what’s wrong, but I’m caught in this cycle of doubt. It’s like I’m stuck in limbo, and it’s either break up or go full throttle toward marriage. The idea of meeting family feels like it should be a milestone, but it just adds pressure. Honestly, I’ve reached a point where I realize I can’t marry this person. I don’t want to settle for someone who’s all talk, no action. Being with someone who just talks sweet doesn’t feel worth the endless emotional toll. At least when I was single, I wasn’t questioning my every move. Is this what love is really supposed to feel like? #datingstruggles #relationshipthoughts #singlelife

how do you keep dating when it keeps feeling pointless?

This month’s been a full-on dating disaster. One girl bailed on me twice with the weakest excuses. Another one? We had a super long date, tons of laughs, she even texted when she got home saying she had a great time. Next day… I’m blocked. Like, how do you not take that personally? I know I should “move on” but it’s hard not to feel like dating is just a never-ending loop of getting your hopes up and then smacked in the face. How do y’all stay motivated when dating feels like a joke? #datingstruggles #modernlove

is my boyfriend even into me anymore or am i just wasting time?

Lately, I feel like my boyfriend barely notices me. We used to talk all the time and hang out, but now it’s like I’m invisible. He’s always on his phone or busy with something else. When I try to talk about how I feel, he just shrugs it off or changes the subject. I miss when things felt easy and fun. Now I’m just sad and confused most days. I keep wondering if he even cares or if I’m just hanging on to something that’s already over. I don’t want to give up, but I also don’t want to feel this lonely in a relationship. Has anyone else been through this? What did you do? I could really use some advice or just someone to talk to about it. relationshipadvice #datingstruggles #feelinglonely #needhelp #relationshipadvice #datingstruggles #feelinglonely #needhelp #RomanticRelationships
