Your boyfriend watching x-rated movies-Problems in Dating
I've been dating this guy for almost a month. I really like him and I think he's a loyal type who doesn't fool around and always committed in relationship. He's been hurt in the past because his partner for 3 years cheated on him.
I really like him and I feel so comfortable to be him. The biggest problem I have is he just got out from a long term relationship 3 months ago. Although I think I am way cuter than his ex, I think he's still not over his ex. And when I confronted him about that matter, he says "past is the past" and we should move on with our lives. Still, I can't trust him.
Also, I think our relationship is moving too fast. We've only been dating for a month but he already plans to introduce me to his mum next week
What should I do?
Post your problems in dating as well
EDIT:
Mess. I don't want to sound like a crazy and obsessed boyfriend but he still has his ex's pictures up on instagram, facebook and twitter. When I asked him, he said they were all memories with his ex. I am so ready to dump his ass after 3 months trial if he still talked about his ex
EDIT:
His crazy ex boyfriend has been updating weird status on facebook or twitter lately and the messages seem to be directed at me
EDIT:
He puts shirtless photos as his twitter profile picture. Should I be concerned?

If you don't trust him there's no way this relationship will work either you trust or you go. Thinking you're being cheated on is often worse than discovering you've been cheated on.
My main problem in relationship I'd say is that it's hard for me to get past people's appearances so it takes me months to realise I hate my bf's personality and that he isn't a keeper at all.

Mess. That's why I always look at people's personality first before looking at his appearance.

@OP your bf sounds like me basically Except I AM completely over my ex and it's been 3 months, but he cheated on me while we lived together so it does make me have trust issues really bad.
But a few weeks ago I thought I found someone I REALLY liked for the first time since my ex, and we started dating for a few weeks. He wanted to go really fast but I wanted to go slow. The problem is he was going back home to Massachusetts for the summer and we would only have a month to date before then. Honestly I wanted to keep it going so we would be forced to take it slow and I would be able to enjoy my summer with friends while still having a bf there for me, but he decided he didn't want to do the whole long distance thing after only knowing each other a month, plus he had finals coming up and a ton of stressful things so he said we should "keep it casual". I have a feeling he's not completely over his ex in Mass because they broke up 3 months ago as well after 2 years of dating.
So I have no idea where we stand right now, we haven't talked in a few days and idk if he wants to be friends, try again when he gets back, or not talk at all. I still have 2 of his sweatshirts he gave to me so I could use that as an excuse to see him, or maybe I should just move on and keep them for myself. The weird thing is HE was the one that wanted to go fast at first and told me that he had never met anyone like me, and then one day he just stopped.

It's just his mom, you can go meet her
As for my dating problems, some people find me as overbearing. I can also detect lies very easily which leads to many small fights that eventually turn into a big one. Honesty + trust are really important to me.

I think he's trying to give you space so you can decide later whether you want to keep relationship going or not. The problem with the guy I am dating right now is he always texts me everyday even though I make it clear that we can take things slowly. I already talk to his friend and from what I heard, I am way better than his ex It really brings my confidence level in this relationship up.

Well you've only been dating him for just a month, so I think it's best to just "tread the waters" and see whether or not he's suitable for you. And considering he just got out of a long term relationship, it must still bother him to an extent, but if he's really genuine with wanting to move forward, then just take his word for it.
Just wondering though, how long have you known him?

Im dating a 58 yr old. He gives me money, takes me out, and wants to pay for my school.
Great right?
The problem is he wants to have sex all the time. I come up with excuses and he believes me. Last week he said that if i dont have sex with him he wont continue the relationship, so i told him to **** off i dont need him.
Well now he is calling me telling me that its ok he doesnt want sex he just wants to be with me. Im conflicted because i want to keep using him for his money (think "Money, Power, Glory" by lana del rey) but i know he is going to try to make some moves on me and i dont want to knock this old man out cold for trying to get the goods.
Why cant a young rich man want me instead of these old pervs

We went for our first date by the end of February. That's what I'm thinking. I think I might give him 3 months max and see whether he's a keeper or not

Everytime I think I'm over my "ex" he texts me out of the blue and I fall right back in. We broke up on good terms, he moved 20 hours away but he's coming back in like 9 months. If I go away for school in September we will probably never be together again but if I don't I won't be able to stay away when he comes back. He's also 11 years older than me and he pisses me off sometimes, I just want to get over him ugh

No! He is 5'5" and very much overweight.
The thing is he made SO MUCH money in the 70s and 80s doing real estate. He owns an apartment complex here in the city. He has money and is set for life.
Im seriously thinking of pulling an Anna Nichole Smith and marrying this man so i can be set for life, but i dont want to spend my 20s chained to this ogre!
I just keep thinking "What would Lana do?"

2016 has barely really started and i've already been in 7 relationships
this one guy i started talking to like on Monday and everything was going good, we were moving really fast but we would talk on the phone (among other things) and it was great. we were supposed to hang out friday but cancelled. then today but he wasn't replying back to my texts then after the 50th text he replied 'What up'
.... like???
i just deleted our text thread and everything of him from my phone. and the fact that he was SO HOT, grown (he was 26), had his **** together (i'm sure it was all a lie now), verse, and just truly my match... i'm kinda hurt & bothered by it.
my problem with dating is that guys can go from talking to you EVERYDAY then go to avoiding you and never talking to you again, without a single damn trace.
it's so.. ugh.
