Week 6, approaching date 7. . . getting closer physically like hugs at end of dates more consistently but no kiss yet. Texting daily but not all day. Moderate to deep conversations there. Getting increasingly comfortable in person also (both a lil shy and anxious) I like it but damn I want him to kiss me

Ladies please take a page from a man’s book… choose yourself at all times. Pace is appropriate but let’s stop wasting peoples time when you full on well know your own patterns of avoidance, attachment, manipulation etc .

Everyone asking questions like pace of relationships isn’t completely subjective.

The guy I’m dating keeps telling me he likes that I “go slow” it’s been 8 weeks and 8 dates so far, not exclusive, no sex, we are learning about each other. I don’t think that’s slow, is it?

Hey so there is no set rule for pacing in a relationship. It's different for everyone because of many facts.

Yesss, I had to learn this too. I was told that I was “forcing friendships” and that my behavior could be perceived as harassment. All throughout college and at my local masjids. At the time, though, I saw it as a double standard because I watched other people become best friends very quickly, so I assumed it was okay for me to approach friendships the same way. When I tried to build that same level of closeness, people would sometimes get angry or feel like I was pushing too much. As someone with autism, I didn’t always recognize the unspoken social cues around pacing and reciprocity, so I interpreted the situation as a double standard rather than realizing that I needed to pay more attention to whether the other person was matching my level of interest.

Texting in the early stages? Do I need to hear from him everyday?

I matched with a guy a week ago and we've been texting back and forth everyday since (first date maybe this weekend) but he replies only once a day. He told me from the start that he's not much on this phone during work which I understand and I don't need to text all day but I catch myself waiting for his texts..how do I know if someone is really interested but just a lazy texter or if he's just too kind to just ghost?🫤

Man I have been saying this! I am always concerned when I have too much information about a person’s life too early

Personally, I go on dates to gather info. If someone responds evasively, especially regarding their last relationship, I'm immediately assuming they're withholding information because the truth is sketchy af/ makes them look bad OR they have zero insight on why their relationships actually end.

Learning this now. It also shows you how much you aren’t healed. As a person that likes to grow, it is refreshing/eye opener when you deal with someone who is grounded. Because this is literally the correct way to date ..and also why we women run into so many messed up men/situations !

A guy asked my number, we talked over WhatsApp the first week, by the 2nd and 3rd week it was only every other or 3rd day hope you well messages. Then he dissappeared for 2 weeks, came back saying life's been busy. I never responded and we haven't talked after that.

Shouldn’t pacing be based on the individual & what you feel most comfortable with?

You should do a video on examples of how someone “earns” more access to you

Nikki LaShae :
This is not healthy coaching. Pacing, yes-but the examples you gave presented more evasive and avoidant. Why your last relationship ended is not information to withhold-nobody needs to earn that. Access, finances, sex, trauma...those are different.

It’s been 2 months. He said ily. Hes two hours away so I drive down biweekly for a few days. But when im back home, saying i miss you or ilyt isnt reassuring to him and he refuses to say what he needs. Says he’s not ready, we’re not compatible, cant give him what he wants, im “blowing” it, even if i say imyt every few hours, he feels like i dont

What comes after he lets you see parts of his world like with kids and his friends/extended family? We spend more time together. We can sit in silence and work next to each other during the day from home. We reconnected from high school and we have been seeing each other for 2 months or a little more
