Hi everyone so for a while I’ve felt tightness and pressure on both sides of my face like under my eyes near the nose, sometimes up in the cheekbone area. I went to the dentist in 2023 and they saw a possible cavity on my upper molar but it wasn’t anything… well I lost my insurance and didn’t have the ability to go back till 2025. So when I went, the dentist found nothing. They did X-rays. But the tooth hurts here and there and it’s an upper molar. I also have a wisdom tooth coming in. So I didn’t fully express that I had tooth pain. Right now I don’t, but it comes and goes. My dentist checked me again and found a small cavity.

The thing is I had more insurance issues and never went back. I am ready now and will go asap. I think I need to go to that dentist again and get a new checkup. But the thing is could they have missed something and now I have infection? This sinus pressure I’ve had for months on and off. It’s definitely more on now. And I got that dental exam in December 2025. Anyway I gotta just go back to get a checkup but I’ve had an occasional bad smell but no stuffiness in my nose.

I also had random bouts of getting staph inside my nose last year. Idk why. I went to my GP and told him. He said I can go to an ENT or a dentist. Or both. How do I bring this up to my dentist and did you ever

26F, I have this weird smell in my nose at times. Pressure or tightness in both sides of my face the sinus region near my cheeks and sometimes in my cheek bone? I have an upper molar that has a cavity I know I need filled… and I know in the face these pains/feelings can be referred .

My issue: I saw a new dentist months ago and sometimes had pain in the upper molar on my right side, and they couldn’t find anything. I asked to double check. There’s a cavity on the side of the tooth in the groove, my dentist got a stick. My old dentist so many years back was monitoring that molar and another molar. Idk if it was a cavity yet.

My issue is I also have a impacted wisdom tooth coming in, Idk if it’s related. But if I had a dental infection would they have missed it? This sinus pressure is definitely new but I’ve had some sinus feeling here and there for months. I haven’t got the filling yet because of insurance change but when I go soon: do I ask for a whole new exam or just do the filling they told me?

26F he’s 32M. His profile stood out to me because he had it very filled out and expressed interest in a serious relationship. Other profiles I came by had one or two word replies. His showed personality.

Basically we messaged a bit a month ago. I was not in the country and I let him know I was visiting family abroad, and we continued to chat. He suggested a few places we meet. We got dessert the first meet up, we split like a few items and he paid at the place but I offered to pay too. He said he’s a doctor so it’s no issue for him to pay, and he explained how he was fortunate his family helped him through school.

But from the start, we spoke about our lives, hobbies, etc. My family and I came from a different country to the U.S. when I was 11. I told him that too, so we do have some differences. I’m the youngest child, he’s the eldest etc. Stuff like that. When we left the meet up he went in for a hug. And we continued to send messages after.

I took his social media although I wish I took his number instead. But anyway he messaged me for maybe over a week? I don’t know if he would ask me out had I not mentioned I enjoy concerts and there was a local artist doing something near us. He said we can go if I’d wanna. His replies slowed down or got very splotchy after I confirmed.

When it got close to the day he was more responsive but he said he bought the tickets and I just offered to pay him back and he agreed. When we got to the venue, it was so loud I didn’t hear him. He said the ticket was $21. And idk how but I heard $15. So I venmoed him 15. And we had issues with cell service. He awkwardly said I owe him a few more dollars. So I paid him that.

We hardly talked at the venue but we talked near our cars after. Seriously I can’t get the vibe. He was joking with me and stuff, he messaged me after. But we’re still corresponding on social media. And I can’t tell if he’s just keeping his options open. I know he doesn’t owe me anything but? We didn’t talk about anything dating wise or did any flirting. I know I could do some flirting too but really all we did was stare at one another and smile. I hate that I have his social media because I see he’s following more women. Idk that sounds weird of me to say. Anyway do i just give up here

Met on a dating app and the guys profile stood out to me because he had it very filled out and expressed interest in a serious relationship. Other profiles I came by had one or two word replies. His showed personality.

I went out with this guy the first time, he’s a doctor and kept saying how he can cover the tab because of that. I asked if he was sure, he said of course so I said thank you.

The second time we met, was to go to this show. I asked him how much it was so I can pay him. I don’t mind doing that, but I didn’t ask him… I just offered it? And when we got to the venue I said oh yea I have to pay you. He said ok and then I get his Venmo, he didn’t have that so we did another app. And then I sent him $15. He kind of awkwardly said um it was $21. So I paid him the rest.

I don’t know I didn’t realize I typed the wrong amount. So that’s my own fault right. But I found we were in a bit of an awkward transaction? What do you think

I’m 26, recently tried the dating apps. Which may be a bad place to first try out dating. But I am mainly looking at guys who put: long term, or some variety of that in their profiles. It’s a lot to shuffle through because I think most people are looking for short term etc.

Well I met this guy, he’s 32 and is a doctor. He was nice and really easy to talk to but it wasn’t a: how’s your day? What do you do? We more so eventually got to joking around or realized we had the same humor.

After we met up once, he messaged me a bit before asking me to meet again, but he was super casual with the phrasing: if you wanna go. Etc.

I was traveling for work so couldn’t meet him for a while, rare in my field but finally we met. We texted a bit before then. Sometimes I run into this where the guy wants to pay the first date and then the second one I still offer, but this guy seems to be very 50/50 after the first date. He keeps bringing up finances like how his family helped him through school and they’re all doctors/ lawyers but the same time he tells me he’s always trying to get a good deal. How he didn’t even have a hotel when he visited his friend and was gonna wing it but got robbed. Or these wild stories he has.

So when we met the second time it went fine, I just feel he walked ahead of me quite a bit, but when we stopped to talk he was present. He did kind of grab my shoulder and then ran off to his car. We’ve been messaging since but idk what to think here. I sense more platonic vibes but I’m bad at assessing this stuff.

I’ve only met with two other Guys from the apps and it’s gone pretty similar to this.
