    Any Polish girls here? (dating advice wanted)

    Hi. I live in the UK and have recently started to get to know a Polish girl who I really like. Even though we haven't actually been out on a date yet, we have been texting each other and I think a date is likely. What I want to know is - can any Polish girls give me any advice? Are there any big...

    Both anxious and excited about dating again

    I haven't dated for many, many years. In fact I was a teenager the last time I dated someone...I'm now in my mid 40's!!! I've come close a few times, but for one reason or another it just hasn't happened. Tbh I've got used to being alone, though hoped that one day I might meet that special...

    Must-see TV prog for people in UK

    It's potentially "must-see" anyway. There's a programme on in the afternoons on ITV called "The Speakmans". They are two therapists who deal with a different person's phobia every episode. This Friday (25 July) it's someone with social anxiety, which needless to say could be interesting viewing...

    How many dates until you can ask about kids?

    How many dates do you think you can go on with someone before you can ask what their plans are for kids? I don't want any kids so for me this is a deal breaker. This is why I like online dating cos it clearly states in my profile that I don't want any. However there's a girl I really fancy at...

    How should I greet this person?

    My mate has been going out with this girl for a few years now and they are getting married in the summer...but I've never actually met her! Obviously I've heard all about her and she's heard about me. Tomorrow I am going to their home to finally meet the family (they have kids too) as it would...

    Citalopram losing effectiveness...what's my next step?

    Ok I've been on Citalopram now for about 2-3 months, one 20mg tablet a day. I had a month or so where it really started to kick in - I didn't have my usual mood swings and was in a good mood almost every day, and I found it easier to talk/interact with other people. Generally things were looking...

    Anyone regularly use DLR trains in London?

    This is gonna sound like a strange question, but bear with me - How are the seats arranged on a DLR train? Are they all facing each other like on the tube, facing the same direction like on most trains, or a combination of both? I never use the tube in London cos it's a nightmare for my SA -...

    Tips wanted for coping with anxiety

    I have some changes coming soon in my job which are causing me anxiety. So far this has been mostly in the form of loss of sleep, and knots/butterflies in my stomach. I went to my doc who prescribed me some anti-depressants (Citalopram) for the anxiety, and some (low dosage) sleeping tabs. I've...

    Telling someone she has a great smile

    If you're female and a guy tells you that you have a great smile how would you feel? Obviously everyone's different, but is it creepy? Is it simply what it is - a compliment? Am I seriously overthinking this?!? Anyway, I'm a postman and deliver to lots of shops. In one shop where this girl...

    Dating sites - saying you're not interested to someone

    I belong to a dating site that lets you message people for free. Sometimes I get nice, friendly messages from women, but who I'm not attracted to. How would you deal with this? I could just not reply, but if they've taken the time to send you a nice message then I kinda feel obligated to reply...

    Going on holiday/vacation alone

    I haven't been on holiday for a long time - something like 20+ years :eek: This is obviously due to my SP, plus I've had no one to go with. Anyway I have a bit of money saved up right now (one of the perks of not having a social life! ;)) so am thinking if taking a short trip - probably just a...

    Total apathy towards my friend's new baby

    Does that make me selfish? I guess so. My mate hadn't even been in touch for about 4 months - that in itself pissed me off - then the other night he sends me a text (at nearly midnight - I was up for work at 5am!) to say he was on the way to the hospital. Then I get another text at 4.30am which...

    The Undateables (UK TV programme on C4)

    Anyone been watching this? I imagine a lot of people here on this forum (myself included) can relate to some of the people in this TV series. There was a guy in the first episode who had Aspergers Syndrome, which I guess is the closest thing to SAD/SP. Some of the first dates shown I have found...

    Fear of being stared at: How do you cope with it?

    I absolutely HATE being stared at. It makes me extremely self-conscious, which then makes me go bright red, then you notice the other person(s) staring even more cos you've gone red. For this reason I hate public places where you will be sitting opposite other people, eg waiting rooms, the...
