FAQ
What if they try to fix everything?
Mention you would like to be heard first. A supportive response adjusts; a dismissive one does not.
Educational content, not a diagnosis
These entries describe common dating communication patterns for learning purposes only. They do not diagnose personality disorders, mental illness, attachment styles, or abusive behavior from limited dating interactions. If something feels unsafe, trust your instincts and seek support.
If you feel unsafe
This content is not a substitute for professional mental-health, legal, safety, or crisis support. If you are worried about your safety, contact a trusted person, a domestic-violence resource in your area, or local emergency services. Never send money to someone you have only met online.
