*all names are fake*

Okay so basically in May 2024, I met a guy named Anthony through a friend. For context I live in a city and he was visiting from the suburbs. When I met him he was really sweet and we talked for a bit and made-out but it didn't lead to anything serious since he lived relitively far from me. We kept somewhat in contact but not much. Last week he messaged me saying he was in town for Thanksgiving and asked me to hangout over the break. I said sure and told him I was bringing my friend, Mila, and he said he was gonna bring his friend, Luke, who I met when I met Anthony. It was just supposed to be us 4 and they asked if they can come over to Mila's house after we got food. I could have been reading this wrong but the way they phrased this made it sound like a double date or "Two-man". Shortly after we made the plan he followed me on his "gym account" which was basically him just shirtless and flexing. We hangout and he ends up bringing a third friend named, Bert. Honestly, Bert was being really annoying and rude towards me and Mila. The boys bought me and Mila drinks too (non-alcoholic). While we were hanging out we were talking about cheating because Mila brought up how her ex cheated on her. Me and Mila both said how we thought cheating was really wrong and inexcusable. He said he thought it was wrong and then brought up a story about how he cheated once when he was intoxicated and told the girlfriend and then I asked "Oh are you guys still together" and he said no. They kept asking to go back to Mila's house and if they can come over, sorta pushing for it. The hangout got really weird because Bert was being extremely rude and annoying so we asked Anthony about this he said how Bert didn't really want to be there so Me and Mila just left because they just wasted our time. We snapped and chatted for a bit afterwards but I was still annoyed. This all happened on Wednesday.

Today, I see he has a new post on instagram for Thanksgiving and he is with a girl and the body language looks like they are dating. And you may think, 'maybe he's just man-wh0re and posts a lot of girls,' but no he has never posted another girl before on any platform, all his other posts on his instagram is him playing lacrosse. Nothing happened between us on Wednesday but him asking to hangout, asking to go back to my friends place, and making it sound like a two man makes me think something might have if me and Mila stayed. I don't know if I should message the girl because they could not be serious and nothing even happened. I am just thinking that if I was in that girl's shoes, and they were dating, that I wouldn't be okay with my boyfriend asking a girl he had any sort of history with to hangout, I would be livid, especially since it seems as if his intentions weren't just to hangout. I messaged him about it with a screenshot of the post saying, "buddy is that your girlfriend" and he said he met her Friday and that it's complicated but why would you be posting a girl on instagram (as someone who doesn't usually post at all unless its sports related) if you had only known her for two days. Also, I remember in May he brought up how his parents are strict about him having girls over and in this post they are in a house which I assume is his because in the post he is just wearing socks and she is wearing shoes (again I am a overthinker and could be thinking into this way too much). Mila thinks I should just message the girl confirming but I am nervous that if they aren't dating I am gonna look dumb. So reddit, what should I do?

tbh i don’t know what im asking but just advice is helpful:

so i met my now friend (15m), let’s call him john, through the guy i have a crush on (18m), who we can call joe. i have a class with both of them together and i guess john just guessed i like joe? (i don’t like talking abt my crushes bc it’s embarrassing and especially if im not even entirely sure if i like the guy so like i didn’t talk to john abt it)

i hung out with joe during lunch and we ran into john and his friend and we stopped to talk to them for a minute. then joe and i continued on.

the next day (saturday) i get a dm on instagram from another mutual friend (17f) of the three of us who i was friends with before joe and john and she asks me if i have a crush on joe and tells me she heard it from johns bsf (18m) so i guessed it was john that talked to him about his suspicions about me having a crush on joe.

i answered vaguely bc as i said i feel like crushes are embarrassing. but also this girl has manipulated me into telling her stuff before (not bad - she was getting me to tell her my schedule so a friend of ours could surprise me in class - just i don’t fully trust her intentions when she asks me stuff anymore). she also told me not to tell johns bsf that she talked to me

so i guess basically two part question: do you think john was actually involved and if so do you think i should talk to him (directly or indirectly bringing this up)? or if not do you think joe asked our friend (17f) to ask me if i liked him?

any other advice appreciated

I've had a year and half long relationship with my ex. We started our relationship back during November and on the latter years she's become really toxic and abusive to me. I slowly drifted away from her around last year November as well until we officially ended things last June.

During that time she has kept contact with me but I told her many time I wanted no contact. We became FWBs for a bit and during so I could tell she wanted to get back together. I kept telling her and made it clear not to expect anything and that our hookups were casual. At this point I already have moved on and didn't want to talk to her anymore.

Around mid October I found someone and we liked each other, so I guess we started dating and such but my ex found out and got mad at me and my friend for not telling her about anything, so out of frustration I blocked her and kept her blocked.

Until a week ago. I felt like we both needed closure because I promised us both that we would end in good terms, so I contacted her and this is where I feel like I've fucked up.

We messaged just a bit and discussed where to have our closure on the first day, then later that night we kinda caught up on things and I started to develop feelings for her because I could tell she changed. I kept telling her I didnt want to talk much longer but I guess she insisted and I felt no damage was to be done anyway.

I asked her if she had any expectations and she told me she didn't like me and even made fun of it, so I told her that I was developing feelings and that I started liking her again and wanted to stop talking but then she revealed she still liked me.

And that's where I am right now. I'm in love and I do genuinely like the person I am seeing. She's basically the girl version of me and I have thought of having a commited relationship with her, but I have spotted some red flags (her parents don't know her and her ex have broken up, she had lied to me before when i thought we were both being honest to each other about our past) and we aren't exclusive yet.

Tl;dr = My mind lies with her, but my heart lies with my ex, and I do genuinely want to try again but I don't want to lose a good chance.

As I previously stated my girlfriend after 3 months is still not secure enough in our relationship. She constantly for our whole relationship has expressed this fear of me leaving her or losing interest in her. I would understand this at first maybe but it's been a while and no matter what I do to make her feel loved she never stopped expressing these feelings. It's to the point where these thoughts which she admits have no basis or logic of me leaving her or losing interest get so bad she uncontrollably cries. And every time I just feel exhausted and I have to constantly reassure her that'd I'd never do that almost every other day and I just don't know what to do.

I know that Title seems confusing and I apologize.

So basically I met this girl on an App called Zepeto about 5 months ago. we immediately became very good friends and I slowly developed a crush on her and about after a Month I asked if she would like to be my Girlfriend. She said yes and we have been a Couple for 4 Months now. Since I live in Switzerland and she ives in England its fairly easy for me to fly there sometime. Her mother wanted us to wait until January before meeting. But since that's not a long time away I am starting to get nervous.

I don't want us to just act like friends when we meet. I want to hug her and hold her hand. (I know this probably sounds very childish but I don't know how else to put it) I honestly hope to Kiss her to. I am deeply in love with her but I don't know if she's ready to. I want to ask her but am at a loss of how to do it.

I have also been ready to do other things for about a year now (in general) but now that I think about it it makes me nervous especially since I don't know how to ask her etc. And I don't want to make things awkward.

What should I do :(

Me and my girlfriend have been dating for roughly 8 months now and we have both said that we would love to have a sleepover occasionally in order to be able to spend more time together and strengthen our bond due to the amount of time we spend away from eachother because of busy schedules.

My girlfriends parents have both said that they are absolutely happy with me going to their house to have a sleepover, however my parents are not and whenever I raise it, they have no valid reasoning other than I'm 16.

Neither me nor my girlfriend are sexually active due to the fact we have careers we want to pursue and having an accidental child would completely ruin that.

How do I convince my parents to let us and are my parents being fair in this matter?

My (17f) long distance boyfriend (27m) is too controlling, what should i do?

If you’re going to comment about the age gap, just keep scrolling please.

1. i live in the uk and my bf is american. I want to apply to cambridge for law which requires me to do courses. My bf wont let me do these courses because he’s afraid i’ll be unfaithful (i was 2 years ago, i regret it to this day. This is an non-recreatable scenario). I go to a predominantly boys school (70% boys 30% girls in my year and above, 100% boys until my year/grade). Its making me really upset and i dont know how to communicate it because he’s stayed with me through yhis and been very lenient with rules (letting me go to school without calling him, letting me do subjects i want, letting me have friends.), i just want to have a better shot at cambridge but he only lets me do volunteering at kumon 2x a week.

2. i dont think im very physically attracted to my boyfriend. His bmi says he’s clinically obese, and i dont know how to let him know nicely that maybe its time he changes. I feel horrible for even suggesting it because he’s so sweet wnd has a very attractive face. I was sexually abused as a child, so i have issues sexually. I think my issue with orgasming also comes from a lack of attraction. I love him to bits, but i think he needs to be healthier at least.

3. we constantly argue when im around my school, and i have a really bad temper with him. The only resentment i have is because he didnt let me do history for a month so im still behind on it.

Any advice?

ps. My boyfriend is 27, not 17. The subreddit made me put a teenager age.

How do I fix this? I (16M) have been friends with a girl (16F) for 6 years now and I like her I never opened up to her because I valued the friendship and didn't want to ruin it. One of her new friends in highschool (16F) (I was friends with her too) started to act interested in me but we had nothing in common and I asked her about it and she asked me if I wanted to date her I was gonna say no but I knew she would be sad so I said yes but I didn't want to accept I just wanted to be nice (It's been 2 weeks now and nobody know about it). At first I was happy about getting my first girlfriend but then I realized I don't actually love her. How do I break up with her without making her sad and losing her as a friend? I am new to all of this and it is taking too much from me I worry all day, I can't focus, I can't study. It's like I am stuck in this forever state of thinking my next step but not taking any action because I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. She is nice to me I try to act nice back but it's just bugging me so much that I think about my old friend more than my girlfriend. TL;DR:I accidentally got into a relationship while loving another girl. Now I can't get out of it because I don't want to hurt her feelings.

So this girl and I were really close friends for a couple years and a couple months ago I messed up really bad by being way too obvious about feeling affection. I message her quite a bit, but in person we're both really quiet because I made it awkward. I know I've ruined everything and I've apologized for it but she insists we're still friends when we barely talk in person anymore. But I have been catching onto some details, one thing I noticed at their house was an Amazon echo had recently played "Are We Still Friends" by Tyler The Creator and a SZA song (I forgot) However it's possible it could've been her parents playing those songs. What do you think/what should I do to put our friendship back on track?

we've been together a little longer than 7 months now. we've had our ups and downs cs we're both mentally ill teenagers but my problems have been a little larger.

he used to compliment me a lot at the beginning of the relationship. tell me im pretty, handsome, he loves me, etc. now.. he doesn't do it as much anymore. it really hurts because he compliments other people but never me. it especially hurts because hes aware of how insecure i am. i dont expect him to 'fix' my insecurities, but hearing some words of affirmations from someone i love would certainly help. i compliment him a lot (not because i want him to do it in retaliation , but because i genuinely mean it) but he never does. it js makes me feel kind of worthless :(

im kind of scared to ask him about it because i asked about a similar situation before (which was why he doesn't engage in physical touch as much) and he said he feels stressed to always be the one to initiate. even though things have changed... i dont want him to feel like that again. i dont want 'me being too needy' to be the end of this relationship.

I (15F) and my boyfriend (16M) have been going out for some time. I have quite moderate 0CD traits and i’m a diagnosed autistic. My boyfriend is completely understanding and supportive of this. However, It becomes present in our relationship. Every time we do something intimate and sexual (consensual, NOT SEX and clothes mostly on), A few days later I have a compulsion to confess what i’ve done to my parents and family. I seek reassurance in my friends asking if what i’ve done is “evil” or not normal for someone our age. My Bf doesn’t pressure me to do anything and i don’t feel pressure either and I enjoy the moments we share together. It’s not a case of me not being ready for things i just have an overwhelming guilt of what my parents would think. For background information, i’m an only child who parents have high expectations of and i wouldn’t want to disappoint them.

I (15M) have been with my girlfriend (15F) for almost 9 months now. At the start all things were great except I’d overthink a little and have thoughts that she was no longer interested however this wasn’t the case and I was just looking too deeply into things. After about a month all of that had stopped and it seemed perfect I we were both gaining stronger connections to one another each day. I believe we felt genuine love for each other after not too long and we both seemed to be quite clingy with each other. All things stayed the same with having a slight increase in disagreements but it was nothing major at all. Until about 3 weeks ago I was fine with the amount of ‘clinginess’ we had and then decided it wasn’t what I wanted and rather that I want something slightly more casual at least in public. There have been times in the past where if she has shown me affection publicly that either friends at school walk off and smirk or teachers tell us off which I find embarrassing. As I started to be less clingy with her she suddenly started to become upset all the time and claim its affecting her mental health that she is worried about our relationship. I have started to spend more time with my friends as I feel the friendships have weakened the more time I spend with her. I have also recently started to realise different habits of hers that irritate me which I am aware is a common thing to happen after a while. She quite frequently is refuses to believe me on topics I am more educated on (I don’t mean to sound arrogant) and will deny things until I show her proof which she will then giggle about. She is highly emotional and gets upset by the smallest things. She is rude to her parents and is oblivious of the fact that she can prevent a majority of the arguments she has with them if she wouldn’t act impulsively during a heated situation. She will also just get annoyed at her family for practically no reason at all. She subconsciously tries to manipulate me by saying ‘I don’t know how I could live without you’ and other things along those lines. Recently I’ve also found I say I love you a lot less to her which is different to how I used to feel. As I said she is very emotional so if I was to break up with her it would have to be time in a way it wouldn’t drastically impact any important event of her life (exams, Christmas, etc.). I am not sure if these are valid reasons to break up with her or not but I am just stuck on what to do. I also hope that my friendships with some of her friends aren’t ruined by doing this. I’d like help on whether or not breaking up is the right thing to do and if so how should I go about doing it in a way that it would cause minimal damage.

So my bf and I have been dating for almost 6 months now, we got together spontaneously after knowing eachother for quite a short time. We clicked emediately, found out we're into similar things and thinking in a similar way, at least at first.

He didn't finish highschool, he failed the first year two times and lost the chance to enroll again. Now he wants to try to attend school privately but doesn't have his parents support since he's still living with them. He's not that intelligent, doesn't have much shane and doesn't care what other people think of him, he's very nonchalant. He doesn't have knowledge of some basic things, and sometimes acts even stupider for attention because "it's easier for him to turn his brain off and not be called a philosopher". Basically he's still acting like he's 14.

Now, I'm not a picky person and I'm not the one to judge. I love him very much despite his flaws and am only looking for the best of him. He's loving and caring and he knows me very well and is always there to support me mentally. But I don't think I should stay with him anymore even tho I have feelings for him.

Currently I'm away from home, mover out because of uni but I decided to freeze a year because my small family can't afford everything so I have to work. I would say I'm the smartest person in the world, but I'm pretty intelligent, know a lot of things and am pretty adaptable, even tho I'm mentally not well and I'm holding myself how I can. And I can't feel like I'm providing everything for my bf and like I'm being his mom.

Don't get me wrong, I love caring for him but it's a bit different when someone is relying on you for basically everything and is planing to leave his parents house to move in with you because he doesn't like it there and he can't do what he wants. Lately his careless has been pushing it's limits and irritating me, I tried breaking up with him but my feelings and inability to be alone in fear of hurting myself left me crawling back and begging him not to leave me alone.

My mom doesn't like him, telling me he's not good for me and that's he's too immature for me, which I'm starting to see now. But I know in this generation no one else will be that gentle and caring towards ne and afraid not to lose me. I'm very confused on what to do. Do I leave him to rid myself of unnecessary stress but deal with my feelings and my fear of being alone? Or do I stay with him until one of us gets sick of the other (since I see things going in that direction) just so I don't leave him without a justified reason?

Yesterday I was using insta and saw some account with my boyfriend picture on it, not one account but two of them. I confronted him about this and he replied they are my stalking accounts. He gave no further explanations and is js acting dry since then. Moreover I also noticed that he's replying late to my texts for a couple of months. And idk how to talk to him about this. send help.

Hey there! My first time posting here, been thinking about this a lot lately.

Firstly my friend here, let's call him X, is probably my only friend I can be comfortable with. We've been friends for 5 years. Aside from little problems like sometimes not having similar interests, the friendship is fine... Or atleast I think so.

The problem is, he is unpredictable... A bit. For example, when I call him (For our planned meet up or just to talk) he generally doesn't answer. There are some time periods that he does but there longer periods that he doesn't even read my messages or turn back to me by call for days. And that makes me sad because I like hanging out with him. I understand that he may have emergency situations but like I said, he doesn't even notify me afterwards till I call him back like, a week later.

Second, he won't keep his promises. For context, we both play different enstruments, and I've been asking for him to bring his one to my place for us to practice one song I told him about together. And even though I remind him almost every single time, he never brings it. This has been going on for weeks or even months. This may look like a small thing but this is just one example, there a lot more situations like this.

And sometimes, I feel like he doesn't like doing the things I want. I almost always end up doing the tuing he chooses to do when we hang out, even though I insist. That might be on me, because I am generally not a good person with arguments, but I am pretty sure he is at fault too.

We are not at the same schools anymore so we don't meet up that much but lately the meetings has dropped to zero because of him not answering my calls or promising to come at a planned time and not showing up.

All these problems really makes me reconsider our friendship but I also have really good memories and a long history wit him. I genuinely have no idea how to end a friendship too. A bit of advice wpuld help

TLDR: My best friend is really uncaring sometimes and it makes me feel like our friendship is going bad.

I'm in highschool (16M & gay) and l've been talking to someone (17M & gay) with mutual relationship interest and I developed feelings swiftly. We would talk everyday. I promised myself if this doesn't work out then I'm done trying with relationships. Growing up unsure what gay even is but knowing how you feel and not even knowing if anyone else in the world thought the same (isolating as a child), never seeing two parents love each other right, and growing up to fantasize being in love but too scared to actually do it. When over half your country believes your existence is sinful. Signing oaths to promise faithfulness to women only in Christian schools. My sexuality having to do with the reason I was removed from my home, brother, and mother's life by my stepdad.. plus being constantly torn apart in situations like these where I decide to open up... so I sort of know how it feels.. Then suddenly I get a text that says "Oh btw I'm a trans man". (Female to male & gay). I could not tell at all. He trusted me enough to share this and I'm grateful he did, I just don't know how to move forward but I feel like a huge huge huge asshole even just thinking that this would prevent us from dating. I would never want to do that to him but I just don't know how it would work. I'd never want to hurt him by shutting him down after sharing that information with me. I'm so torn. I don't know what to say to him or how to go forward from this. I told him I accept him and it doesn't change my feelings (bc feelings don't fade that easily).. please go easy on me guys, I just want to understand and get some advice. Please. Maybe I could still be with him? Those feelings were just so intense to let go of so easily. Could I be the one to love him no matter what? I need to know if I can do that. I want to be honest with myself.

OK so I have a friend and we're gonna call her "Lucy." So Lucy has a crush on our student council president "Alex" Alex and Lucy are kind of friends and she's liked him since sixth grade. However, Lucy was told by her mother that she's not allowed to text him. The reasoning is her mom does not want her to seem desperate. Lucy asked one of the kids in our group "Jay" to ask Alex if he liked her. The response Jay got was not good so he told Lucy that Alex didn't respond. The actual message that she got from Alex was, "she's friends with a lot of people I have beef with, I don't really like her and I just don't want a relationship rn" I was sworn in to secrecy. However, I feel it is mean to leave Lucy in the dark. If Alex doesn't like her, then we need to break it to her. How do I help? I feel bad for knowing about this. Please help!

My ex who broke up with me a few months ago reached out recently asking to go on a date of some sorts. I am really anxious because I feel pressured to say yes- there’s a really dark part of me that thinks that if I say no, she may take drastic actions like leaking photos, or accusing me of sexual misconduct towards her when we were dating(even though I know for sure that everything we did was consensual). I’ve completely moved on from my relationship with her, so I don’t really want to talk to her. Are my fears completely unwarranted? Is there anything I can do about it?

Well, the title is self-explanatory my sex drive is very high to be honest and hers is almost none, she can stay with me without having sex or any other sexual activity for months and months, I'm feeling sexually frustrated and nothing seems to work, talking, therapy, whatever thing, we've been together for over a year, and in the last 4 or 5 months I've tried everything to make her libido increase, but nothing ended up working. I love her more than anything, and I know that even if we break up, that won't change. Our relationship is perfect in every aspect except this one, but this side alone is enough to cause me great anguish. I'm demisexual, so opening the relationship is out of the question, should I wait and hope for time to resolve it, continue looking for a solution, or should I break up with her?

I need advice! The guy i’m dating came over to meet my family for the first time and they heard us.

Me and this guy have been dating for a while and it has gotten to the point where we decided it’s time to meet each others families. I (19f) live with my auntie and uncle so he wasn’t meeting any immediate family first which was fine because they are quite chill people.

I had him (17m) over first last night. I was very nervous and my family knew that and I ended up drinking a little much. Initially everything was going well, he got on with everyone and the conversation was flowing, it was slightly awkward but these things always are. I made a point to tell him before hand that we weren’t going to my room but obviously plans changed once we were there since there wasn’t really anywhere for us to go just us two as it would’ve been a bit intense staying downstairs the whole time but in hindsight i wish we did.

In the beginning the football was on so that was a good ice breaker but after the football ended and the food came and went the awkwardness really heightened so i asked if we could go up to my room, I didn’t really expect to be allowed but then again chill auntie and uncle. At this point we had kissed a few times but nothing below the belt. I was drunk he was drunk it happened (twice) and immediately after i felt regret but was just praying no one heard (they did). When he was leaving my auntie was asleep but my uncle was still awake and I could tell he was pissed off but I just tried to put it down to something else although there wasn’t really anything else i could think of.

In the morning it was just me and my auntie and i asked what she thought and that’s when it got bought up. I was mortified and i hope she saw that I apologised and said it wouldn’t happen again and i know it was disrespectful and probably extremely uncomfortable for them. Now my uncle is still out of the house i haven’t seen him today but i really don’t know what to do. we have never fallen out and i’ve never fucked up this badly. as for callum (guy i’m dating) i don’t know whether to try and do a re-do or just never have him over again. This is all they will remember from meeting him and i’m extremely disappointed in myself and i need to know if there is anything i can do to make it better. it’s an awkward topic so i would rather not bring it up point blank but if there is anything i can do in order to ease what has happened or to make it blow over quicker that would be great. I’ve lived with them for a year and mostly keep to myself and my social life is always out of the house unless they are gone so this is a first for me because this hasn’t happened to me before. Do you think they’ll dislike him for quite a long time now? I don’t even want to ask my uncle what he thought of him now because obviously that’s just going to be at the full front of his mind and it’s embarrassing for everyone really.

Hello! Too preface, Ive had many relationships go awry in the past from things escalating too fast and getting too intense, and really do not wish for that to happen. I am also a bit tipsy for unrelated reasons while writing this, so please excuse any typos. I also mention sex, but non graphically, just like the concept of it.

I met my current partner a few months ago at a youth group, and started chatting more about a month ago, and after hanging out more outside of the youth group with mutual friends. After this we started hanging out alone together, and we 'officially' started dating around two weeks ago. Since we have had multiple dates and have been chatting/calling every day. Yesterday I drew a picture of them as a prawn, and they said I love you but I assumed it was as a funny haha, but after our conversation tonight while going to bed they said 'Night, love you' and tbh it made me a bit scared??

For one we have been dating barely two weeks, and we were just kind of friends before dating, we didn't, and still don't, know each other very well. I also know that I def do not love them yet. I didn't say it back or acknowledge it but I also feel bad for not saying anything back yknow?? I really do want to get to know them enough to love them, and to have something serious and meaningful, but I dont know how?? Like how can they love me if they barely know me, but how could i say to there face that no, actually you do not love me?? Like what do I do in this situation?? We had a conversation already about wanting something more serious, and waiting for 'physical' intimacy until we know each other better and are serious, as I have had bad experiences with relationships going way too fast in this aspect before, and then undermining the whole relationship by making the basis sex rather than care for the other person. But now this emotional stuff is kind of scaring the shit out of me even more????

Any advice appreciated, really unsure what to do, if anything. I really want this relationship to work out and I really care about my partner and do not want to hurt there feelings, but I also am terrified!

Basically I have a friend let's call her jenny. Me and jenny both go to different schools, we met two years ago on a gc because we both have mutual friends. We have never met in person we didn't talk much until September we talked everyday since. I was of school on Friday but she was, we talk on Snapchat a lot so I sent her a snap and I sent her a snap of me she replayed it and said my eyes look pretty so I said thanks. Later I said her smile looked nice and she said thanks your so pretty and that I look pretty all the time and that she was blushing and sent me a snap of her smiling. I posted an insta story and she is always the first person to like it so I text her stalking my insta and she said uhhhhh and sent me a snap of her smiling. Later I was joking around and called her a lesbian and she said ummmmmm nooooo..... I sent her a snap of my teddy and said what a cutie like me and she said yes. I've told my friends about her and they all said she probably likes me so I should ask her what we are sp I did i text her saying look we need to talk because I don't know what we are and it's really confusing me. Jenny said she really didn't know what to say and she was really confused. She asked me what I think we are and I said honestly I don't now that's why I'm asking you but you gave me the impression that we were more than friends then she said i get what u mean like what the fuck does that mean and I said I'm really sorry if this is out of the blue but I need to tell u. Jenny asked if she made me feel uncomfortable by calling me cute and I said not at all. Then I said I'm really sorry but I'm still confused if we're just friends or not like honestly if u don't like me back just say. Jenny said you don't need to be sorry I'm sorry I don't know how to feel and I feel like I've lead u on and I hate I didn't know u felt this way about me and I love being your friend, I said I like being ur friend too and I understand if you want to keep it that way but I got the feeling you liked me and maybe you don't but I need clarification even if it's not now bc that's not fair for me. Jenny said that she just wants to be friends and she feels terrible and that she hopes we can still be friends and we just had a long talk and both said sorry we are back to talking to normal but idk. I do think she was leading me on and I don't know if this is delusional but I got the feeling she liked or likes me but doesn't know bc were both girls and she never said she didn't like me. Please help me idk what to do.

me and x have been together for almost 3 years now, we came up to the part where we had to do Idr. were still Idr until now. it hasnt been easy but i still love him, thought, there has been times when i feel like something's changed. there came times where we'd talk to eo as usual and i talk and talk and x replies dry or uninterested. (ex. "what'd yoouou doooo tooodaayyyyy?" "school") i dont know how to explain it but our texts because like that until i started to do the same. it got to the point where we have nothing to talk about., where i expected less because everything was empty promises or empty words left said. i miss how we were. but now i'm the problem, i started to do what x did to me, and it hurts. i dont know how to talk to x anymore, i dont know what to say when i talk to x but i really still want to talk to x. everytime, id always say that ill be better but i cant seem to see any progress, it is because im all talk? i really want to fix this. this is all my fault. he asked for us to take a break. its all my fault and i dont know what to do, but i do know i want to become a better person. i feel like ive been so selfish, i neglected what he would feel.

i dont know how to explain everything since its hard for me to talk and explain properly but feel free to ask questions for more info. please help me

Hey all. I’m looking for some advice on how to ask this girl that I’ve known for 3 years now. We have casual conversations ever since we met. I put down a relationship vibe once and I think I got a good response. She’s super nice and cute and I really want to ask her but I just get super nervous and switch the subject quickly. I need some help on how to calm myself and the best place I should take her. She’s interested in sport, the beach etc. the best place I should go with her romantic or not. Thanks for the help if you do. Stay safe guys.

I am 16 and really like this girl that is 19. When she found out I was 16 she kinda sounded disappointed. I have been debating for a while if I should just lie and say I am actually 17 or not. I do think it is bad to lie about your age by a lot, but I don’t really think it’s that bad if it’s only by a year. The past 3 girls i’ve been interested in (one 18, and the other two 19) all ended up ghosting me after finding out I was 16. I really don’t want to lose her too. Should I lie about my age.

Theres this girl i used to like a lot in my school, but she had a relationship so i kind of gave up. She end her now ex broke up 4 months ago so i thought i could try and ask her on a date. I did and she said yes. We had a nice time, i took her to a nice restaurant and we just talked and ate. Afterwards we went to visit a friend of ours where it all went downhill. First off all my friend asked her how is her relationship with her ex now as they still hangout and have sleepovers. The girl i like replied with something like “ it isnt closed between them yet?” And i though why would she agree to go on a date with me if shes still talking to her. I started feeling off and just walked her to her bus home. Afterwards i messaged her somethibg like “sorry that i invited you on a date, if youre not over with her i wont interrupt” She sort of replied strangely? i just understand what she meant. She said : “no its okay i just have to sort it all in my head, thats the most important thing, ill explain it to you this way, i didnt mind spendind time with you, i enjoyed it but i dont know what is up and whats gonna be so most importantly i dont want to hurt you so ill rather give everything time so it can sort out and i cant act with empty head”. What does she mean? like is she planning to end it with her or just wait how it turns out and then choose me as a second option? I really dont know how to proceed in this and whether i should stop trying or not. This is my first time with a girl so im really confused. Any thoughts?

I (16M) am quite anti-social in real life, however I do have a somewhat tight-knit friend group online. These friends are from all over the world and are many different ages, but this post focusses on one (19F) girl who I have developed feeling for. for the sake of this post I'll refer to her as A.

For some context I live in the U.S. and A lives in Europe. Also a bunch of my online friends and I have shared our social media accounts. The blaring issue to me is obviously the age gap and distance, However every time I talk to A, I am instantly happier. She is one of the few people in my life at the moment who I trust and who makes me feel a sense of worth. Added on top of that, since we've shared social media we both know each-others appearance, and I'll be honest she's completely my type.

Like I said earlier, I don't want to lose friends, and I feel that if I share my feelings I may be seen as creep or otherwise. I am also worried that this is just me being a dumb teenager, while she's an adult living 5,000 miles away. At the same time, talking to her doesn't feel like talking to an adult, rather a friend a similar age as me. Anther problem is that I've never been in a relationship whether in person or online, so I have no experience of expressing my feelings for someone. I'm scared to hurt myself in the process of this, and I don't have another group to spend free time with. I just don't know if any of this would be worth the risk. On top of this all, since I've never asked someone about their feelings, I don't know how I would handle the very possible rejection.

What should I do to either confront my feelings or suppress them as to no hurt myself?

TLDR: I (16M) have a huge crush on my (19F) friend who lives overseas, and I don't want to make a dumb decision that costs me a friendship or more.

my coworker (17M) always comes to do "work chores" with me (19F) even if he's been assigned to another area. when i'm having a bad day he's always the first to check up on me. once he even said i'm the easiest to talk to. today he complimented me twice and stayed with me for a majority of our shift even if it wasn't a two person job. he also asked me a question today that was worded weird but have a feeling he was asking about my type. also; a week or two back he called me baby and then started blushing and stuttering. i'm not 100% hes into me or not help pls!

I enjoy silence and just talking without directly seeing her on the phone while doing something else (calls) but she doesn't like that. She told me to only call her when I'm available but I enjoy talking with her while doing another thing. I've been trying to do that but sometimes I can't help doing it. (She has told me around 3-4 times about this but I've been doing those type of calls since forever so it's quite hard for me to change that) I don't want her to keep getting mad at me and we've been trying to find a solution for this but we haven't been able to.I tell her that I've been trying but I just dont trust myself and everytime I say that I feel like im being manipulative, I know I'm trying but I just feel like I'm controlling her somehow. Are there any advices I can get for this situation?

So me and my bf have been together about 3 years now, and I have completely ran out of gift ideas. He says he likes gift gifts more than practical gifts, physical gifts more than like a nice date, he’s into metal (bands like killswitch engage, trivium, dying fetus, etc.), he likes cooking, gaming, etc. And I am freaking stumped on what to get him and , stereotypically, he won’t tell me what he wants either. Last time I asked he said an onion. 😒
