Have you ever been in a relationship with someone that isn’t used to simple acts of kindness or affection? What was/is it like?

    I wasn’t used to it. It took me a long time to trust that my partner wasn’t setting me up for something.

    Just took a lot of patience, persistent communication, and reassurance. It’s usually a much slower developing relationship but it can also be more emotionally rewarding I guess

    If anything, it should be easier as they don’t expect anything and are more appreciative than the typical entitled person.

    On my first ever date, I drove to meet this girl i met online. I gave her flowers, opened the car door for her and pulled out the seat for her at thr restaurant.

    She said that none of her other dates did this for her and she wasn’t used to being treated so nice.

    Idk, my parents just told me to treat my dates well and that’s what I thought was the basic.
