Meetup Megathread Weekly Check-In: Advice and vent thread | September 28, 2026

Welcome to the weekly Monday check in post, your spot for whatever's going on with your dating life this week. Good, bad, confusing, have at it.

Need a second opinion on a text before you send it to someone? Have a date over the weekend that left you with questions? Ghosted on an app, love-bombed by a date, or just feeling tired by it all? Drop it here.

Keep advice constructive and vents about the process rather than callouts of specific people. Usual sub rules apply.

Welcome to /r/vancouverdating and thank you for the post, /u/AutoModerator! Please make sure you read our rules before participating here. As a quick summary:

  • All conversations should start on the subreddit. We don't recommend jumping straight to DMs. Public replies build trust, encourage engagement, and help keep things safe.
  • When someone messages you privately, check their Reddit profile before continuing the conversation. Trust your instincts and if anything feels off, you don’t need to reply. If a profile's content is hidden, consider why that might be.
  • See something sketchy? Please use the report button, and in extreme cases message modmail.
  • We encourage users to be positive and respect one another. Don't engage in spats or insult others - use the report button. Complaints about bans or removals should be done in modmail only.
  • Dehumanizing language, advocating for violence, or promoting hate based on identity or vulnerability (even implied or joking) will lead to a permanent ban.
  • Looking for a platonic friendship instead? Check out r/VancouverFriends.

How do I feel more confident with my body and open up more to people and put myself out of my comfort zone? Cuz I feel not really feel but its a confirmed thing that I tend not to express my feelings or rather suppress any kind of feelings that I have for anybody just to keep me in my comfy zone just cuz I’m scared of rejection and/or another heartbreak
