How I [18M] became interested in her [~21F]

I don't even know her age, but I know there is a big difference.

Background:

I am just a high school senior who decided to take an internship to decide on his career. I already know that I will study biomedical engineering at a rather good college in my country. I am at a hospital helping *engineer A –*who is the first line of response when medical equipment from a specific company is broken.

She is a recent college graduate who is taking an internship at the same place with *engineer b –*an engineer from another company also installing and fixing equipment (I think).

​

The first day in my internship...

Both of our groups greeted each other in a hallway and engineer b mentioned that she should be with us the next few days to "learn something new" and "meet ;) new people". She looked quite young and I was excited to meet someone new. Next thing I know, we are working on a CT machine maintenance and she's there. We were left alone for a small while and I got to know she's a college graduate. She is still waiting for her degree, and she doesn't even have a job, since she's an unpaid intern at the hospital. I instantly made clear I am still in high school, but we kept talking in the same way. The rest of the day we were working with the other engineers and it was more casual. We were literally testing radiation equipment, so we were trapped for a while in a small room all getting along quite well.

Today, she didn't even join engineer A and I because we were just fixing paperwork and such. Engineer A ignored her and engineer B when they sent messages because he was quite sick. When we, again, saw them walking by, we greeted each other. Instead of just a regular greeting, she called me by my name (which I don't even remember mentioning too much, and I don't think engineer A is sure about how I'm called), and she was also closer. They left because they had other things to do and I thought I wouldn't see her.

Fast forward a while, and engineer A is really sick. We had to kill time while we waited for some people to arrive, so we entered a room with a CT scanner and just sat there. Because she saw us enter the building, she later joined us in the small room. Engineer A had to take a phone call and left (for actually a really long time). We just spoke for a really long while, and the entire time, it really had some strange vibes. It was not the usual professional talk or the kind of conversations I have with engineer A, but it felt weird. She kept laughing while telling stories of her intership, or when I asked questions. I really liked her smile. When engineer A arrived she left after a brief conversation.

​

Tomorrow engineer A and I will actually be fixing a machine and she'll be joining us. I just hope I don't get too nervous around her. I'm probably just not good at interpreting a casual talk. I know nothing will come out of it because of the age difference, but it's fun to be around her and it's been a while since I've been interested in someone.

TLDR; I found a girl at my internship who I'm interested in, and we are getting along.

The difference between being right and being understood

My boyfriend and I are 28. We’ve been together for about 1.5 years and recently moved in together. He’s a pretty patient and easygoing person (Type B) whereas I’m more particular (Type A). Of course there are two sides to every trait, and my Type A nature benefits us in some ways too. Like all couples, we have differences in perspective or preference. When this happens, he will usually say something like “I disagree (with your perspective) but fine.” I tend to push the issue in an attempt to get him to understand where I’m coming from. This escalates the disagreement into a fight because he perceives it as me trying to be “right”. I truly just want to be understood (and I want to understand where he’s coming from) so I’m looking for more of a dialogue whereas he avoids conflict and just wants it to be over as quickly as possible. His general approach is “agree to disagree” but that doesn’t make sense to me when it’s an issue that will keep coming up and requires compromise. I’m n...

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

I’ve always been extremely private and introverted. We have more than a year together and we’ve been living together for like 6 months, we get along pretty good and I’m really in love with her, however I can not seem to open up... and I can tell it’s frustrating to her by the way she tells me it bothers her that she feels she’s the only one committed and the one that’s always sharing... At this point I don’t even know if it is that I’ve gotten too used to it, to the point I’ve became lazy to talk about myself or give any genuine personal opinion... it sucks, really, I need to communicate better... Where do I start? Tl;dr: I can’t be completely intimate with my gf and its frustrating her, I need to communicate better because I really love her... where to start?

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.

I met my girlfriend after a few serious breakups that led me to change both intentionally and unintentionally over a few years. For better and for worse. She had just gotten out of an engagement with a verbally and physically abusive man who had a cocaine problem. We have been together about 8 months now. We hit it off and spent a lot of time together but she began to push our relationship as if there were a time clock for milestones. I was pressed beyond my comfort zone and went with it because of my affection for her. My living situation fell apart and I lost a few thousand dollars to shit roommates right around the time she and I met and she offered to let me stay with her. I agreed with some resistance. I pay for food, help her with bills, and throw money toward rent while trying to get back on my feet. As long as we have been together she has gotten more possessive, angry, and irrational. She is dealing with shit from her engagement and I feel shes looking for a level of seriou...
