I think my BFF (30 F) of over 20 years may have had a bachelorette party without me (30 F). Should I ask her about it?

My BFF and I have been friends since early elementary school and are still very, very close friends, despite living in different states for most of that time. We were part of a mutual friend group for several years, and about five years ago, one of the other girls and I had a really bad falling out (mutual fault, honestly). She and I are passively civil at parties; the other two girls and I from the friend group get along well. BFF got married recently, an evening wedding. By design, the wedding was very small--the bride and groom's parents and siblings, me, the three other girls from our old friend group and two of their husbands, and a friend of the groom--less than 20 guests. She described it as not having a wedding party because they only invited the people that would have been in their wedding party. No rehearsal dinner or anything was mentioned on the invites. A couple of weeks ago, BFF texted me and asked me if I wanted to do something the morning of her wedding, saying s...

Do I still have a chance?

So ive been having a crush on this girl for months now. She already my friend before I had a crush on her. But because of my efforts she now says Im her best friend. So ive been meaning to finally ask her out but today something really caught me off guard. My friend group we were playing this game of rate a person in the scale of 1 to 10 based on looks. Eventually someone asked her about me and her anwser was: 8.5 because he is not my type of guy but he's my friend. That kinda really hurt me inside. Do I still have a chance to get out of the friendzone? If so were do I go on from now? TL;DR: My crush rated me an 8.5/10 based on looks. Her reasoning was: "He is not my type of guy but he's my friend" Submitted December 10, 2019 at 12:20AM So ive been having a crush on this girl for months now.

I F26 just realised that my ex M26 of 3.5 years dumped me because I got fat, is this normal?

Together 3.5 wonderful years. I gave him my heart and soul, supported him through everything. I was his rock. He dumped me out of nowhere a month ago, after a month of being really distant and no affection and rejecting all my advances. He's already moved on so quickly and I just don't get it. It's so at odds with the man I thought he was. I'm so confused and shocked still. I'm depressed and devasted, how real love go away like that. However today I was deleting him off my social media, because it hurts so much to see happier times right now. And I realised when I was loooking back and remembering without rose tinted glasses, that his love and affection for me directly declined, with my weight increase. When studying for my masters degree last year I gained 30lbs. Before this we'd been in a relationship for 2 years and I didn't change physically. I was really popular with guys in my college and dated loads of them when I was single,but any 'good'...

Am I shallow for breaking things off because I wasn't attracted to her body?

I (M23) recently broke things off with a girl after about a month and a half of dating. Personality wise she was amazing. Shared my sense of humor (which is rare,) conversation was always interesting. The first and last time we had sex it felt like a chore because of my lack of physical attraction to her body. I just keeping going back and forth in my mind on if it was the correct decision. Anyone else been in the same situation?

I (25M) want to give her (19) a call tonight.

There is this girl I know from classes, after some complicated and awkard interactions between the two of us (without going into much detail), we never got a chance to talk and have a conversation. It is hard to know if she is into me or not, I guess she was expecting me to make a strong move on her? I never understood what she expected or wanted me to do besides being more confused. Yes, we both know who we are, we are around the same group of people, and we both have each others numbers. Semester is over so making a move on her in person is not an option. I want to call her, talk and flirt with her and eventually ask her out. If she does not ánswer, then I´ll just leave her a message: ´´Hey I gave you a call because I wanted to talk with you´´. If she does not respond, I´ll just leve it at that. Does this sound good? Anything else I could do better?

I'm not sure if her (F26) interest in me (M25) is waning?

I've been speaking to a woman for 2 weeks now, met on a dating site. Got on really well, plenty in common, the banter is great too. Met this weekend for a first date - held hands back to my train after drinks, had a good time and we agreed we'd have a second date. The day after she was her normal self and even drunk texted me, which was cute. She was hungover and tired yesterday so her texts were different, shorter, slower replies but always at least a reply. Today has been harder, more laughing with me in a desperate way. I raised the idea of adding her on Facevook but due to her job I couldn't due to her privacy settings. Suggested she added me. Nothing and no reply to that so we moved on. Tonight has been harder and feels like she's really lost interest in me, comments about "i don't mind you talking to other girls" when I stated I only speak and date one women at a time (old fashioned, I know), not really making an effort when the banter beforehand...

Meeting up with a girl I'd like to date a little later on for lunch tomorrow, really don't want to blank out, tips?

So I (19M) got to know this girl (19F) in uni around early November. We had met earlier (only briefly, never again until early Nov) but both of us developed generally good impressions of each other back then. Starting early November, we started to get to know each other better. We text everyday, and I was really looking forward to hanging out with her a lot more, and eventually maybe even dating her (but I wanted to get to know her much better as a friend first, before asking her out "proper"). But the semester ended early, and we ended up travelling back to our home countries. A few days before leaving, we got drunk along with a few other friends and she told me she really liked hanging out with me and another friend of ours, and we promised to meet each other back in our home city (the two of us live in the same city). Ever since we've returned, we've continued texting everyday but it sometimes (some days) it feels like we just don't have much to talk about, or...

Second date ice skating wtf do I do!

Tomorrow night I’m (m25) going on a second date with a lady (f27) and she’s organising it. We were originally going to try an Asian place for food but now she’s suggesting we go ice skating too. I cannot ice skate to save my life though admittedly I haven’t tried since I was a kid. I’m a guy so I’m never going to say no but I’ve said I’m up for it although there is a 90% chance of falling flat on my face. Final decision is with her. I’m a little worried of totally messing up and it not being fun. At the same time it’s likely to be a laugh and could create some chemistry. Good people of Reddit, how do I play this?

Being friends with an ex ?

Can you still be friends with an ex ? When there is still love but it’s one sided , the person tells you eventually in the future they want something with you but right now just isn’t the right time..

I want a second date, but I don’t want him to think I need it RIGHT now or out of pity.

Went on a date with a guy a few weeks ago. It went great, and we talked about going out again but so far no definite plans. We’ve literally talked everyday since then, but I want to know if he’s even down for a second date. I just don’t know how to bring it up to him without him feeling like he HAS to ask me out at this specific moment, or him asking me out of pity. Does any one have any advice about how I could phrase this without sounding overly needy? Thanks 😅 Submitted December 09, 2019 at 11:25PM Went on a date with a guy a few weeks ago.

How long after messaging a girl should I wait to ask them out?

So this one girl came into where I work and sat down for a couple hours, later that night she added me on Instagram and we talked for a while. We've been talking for a couple days and I want to ask her out, but I feel she might think it's too soon but she also seems a lot like she's interested in me. So does it seem to soon?

Should I ask her out or flirt or what?

There's this girl I really like ( F15), I'm (M15) confident she's into me because every time we see each other in the halls she smiles and looks down etc. I have her insta and I'm not sure if I should ask her out, or if I should compliment/flirt with her.

Hooked up with a guy whose girlfriend broke up with him a month ago and now I’m getting mixed signals? Or confused signals... dude I don’t even know what type of signals send help lmao

So alright I recently hooked up with this guy that I used to see around a club I used to go to like 18 months ago. He literally just texted me out of the blue and told me his girlfriend broke up with him and I thought “alright whatever I’ll let him hit it” and I thought that would be it. But we actually found out we have a lot in common and we’ve been texting every day since we hooked up. He was even the first person to text me after my surgery the other day and he told me to come over and watch a movie as soon as I can walk again (and he’s perfectly aware that I’m not in any position to be able to have sex). I’m not the type of person to catch feelings quickly or assume that others have feelings for me but I just don’t really get it. He also told me he wanted to be with me (sexually I assume) before he got a girlfriend but he was scared to approach me and didn’t do anything about it for over half a year. Is this some fwb who are homies too type of shit or what is this???? I don’t wan...

Should I ask her out?

So I've been interested in this girl for a little while, but not enough to really want to talk to her. Kind of like “Oh she’s cute” but, recently the class we take shuffled everyone around (in this class everyone works as pairs). Anyway, I got paired up with her and started talking to her. She seemed cool, and wasn’t one of those partners who sit on their phone the whole time lol. But, what sticks to me is that when we sat down there was an empty seat between us, and that’s how everyone sat in this class. However, she slid over and stayed there. I guess she doesn’t dislike me haha. I was surprised though because I live in Japan where that doesn’t really happen, but she’s Korean so maybe it’s different. She laughed at something I said, can’t remember but the way she did made my heart flutter a bit, and I hate that feeling of developing a crush but nonetheless it happened. I got her number so, I'm planning to ask her out for a simple lunch together. What do you think? Too soon? ...

Best phrasing to ask a girl out?

I want to ask a girl out (I'm male if it's relevant). I want to be direct and make sure she absolutely knows it's not just friends hanging out. We're fairly candid around each other and I'm very confident, that's not the problem. I'm just unsure what exact phrasing I should use: A) "Would you like to go on a date with me?" B) "Would you like to go on a date with me to XXX on YYY?" C) "Will you go out with me?" I feel like B is better than A, but at the same time I'm so sure she's into me that C doesn't feel like a bad choice, even though it's not really asking her out on a date as such. I just don't want that limbo where you're going on dates but don't really acknowledge that you're a couple, and C avoid that very well. I do actually have a date planned by the way. So, gals: if a fairly close friend you have a crush on was going to ask you out, which would you be most receptive to/would soun...

What’s the REAL difference between girls that guys want to long term date vs the girls that guys just want to have sex with

So my friend (20f) and I (19f) where discussing some of our relationship woos. We both recently (and ironically) pretty much went through the same thing where the guys we had been talking to and going on amazing dates with, suddenly out of the blue admitted to not being ready for a serious relationship. My friend hasn’t ever had sex and she’s waiting till marriage. She tells guys this straight up before they even engage with her. I’m not a virgin, put I’ve been pretty serious about not sleeping with a guy unless I know it might be going somewhere serious. I don’t mean to brag but, my friend and I are quit pretty. She models for a little town bouquet and has tons of Instagram followers and admirers while I recently got signed to an acting agency and have been recruited to be an “influencer” for brands on social media despite me not being very into it. My friend has had one serious relationship where the guy ended up cheating on her and going off to sleep with some other girl. She’s go...

Am I being ghosted?

I'm 27F, he's 27M. I met this guy through a group we were both involved in a few weeks ago. After the group we kept in touch and messaged a couple evenings a week, then he asked me on a date to a museum and we spent the whole day together and it was great. He asked me out again to dinner before he flew home for Thanksgiving, and I said yes and we had a great date - it ended with him kissing me and saying "See you next time?" and I said yes. He texted me happy thanksgiving. Then i didn't hear from him while he was at home, which I kind of expected, but he got back in town Monday so I texted him to ask how his break was, and he responded quickly and we texted back and forth for about an hour and he asked me lots of questions. He hasn't sent me anything since then - I thought if he was interested he would ask me on a third date, but he has said nothing. Is this ghosting/is he no longer interested? I'm very thrown off and confused. Thanks :) Submitted De...

Christmas present ideas

So, we’re not official yet but Christmas is coming up and I honestly don’t know what could I possibly get for a man. Since we’re not officially out together as a couple. I don’t know what’s the right thing for him. He’s also capable of buying expensive stuffs on his own. I don’t have many experience on this either.

How do you know when someone loses interest?

A girl and I have been talking for a while now and it seems like we aren't as connected as we were when we first started pursuing a relationship. I mean when we text I feel we have really forced convos and most of her texts are things like "yeah" and "oh". We don't see each other as much as I would in person but I try to text her every day to keep stable communication but I'm not sure if it's worth pursuing anymore based on her lack of enthusiasm.
