Considering the 2 threads showing a video of highly realistic cakes looking like stuff that clearly isn't food, I am viewing that pic with much suspicion February 15, 2020 at 12:24AM

As far as anime goes Saiki Kusuo from Saiki K (on Netflix) is very likely Aro/Ace and quite literally only cares about cake and sweets. Hilarious show as well. Also nobody can tell me that Kirby isn't the perfect Ace icon. February 15, 2020 at 12:18AM

Take them and eat them in front of your coworkers to assert dominance. But honestly it's creepy if you don't know who they are from. February 15, 2020 at 12:17AM

I don't think it's an issue to reply to your own comment. February 15, 2020 at 12:16AM

Okay but isn’t this “what’s valentine’s day?” “I totally forgot” stuff a little performative? Feels ~edgy~ or something. Idk. Might be an unpopular opinion. Ace doesn’t necessarily mean aro, and I personally am very aware of what day it is because I’m alone (BECAUSE I’m ace and can’t find other ace individuals to date) and hate being reminded of that fact.

Happy birthday. I come from a family of holiday birthdays. If it makes you feel better, I have a cousin whose birthday is on April fools day, an uncle on NYE, a brother on Christmas eve, and mine is often on mothers day (I will never have kids, so irony). Welcome and sorry, I guess. :/ February 15, 2020 at 12:13AM

Me too, friend. February 15, 2020 at 12:12AM

Yes! One of the best scenes of one of my favorite shows. February 15, 2020 at 12:11AM

Who was asexual in Sex Education? February 15, 2020 at 12:01AM

Not everyone has the same experiences in dating, but gender inequality is real. This post is about women's common negative experiences with dating growing up in our western culture in North America. This is not to say negative experiences are the only ones, but this post acknowledges that women face real collective barriers to finding what we want out of relationships that are not rooted purely in our choices or our chances - this post recognizes our choices are made based on what is available to us, or our chances. It's my personal belief that to improve conditions for women, we need to be free to address men as an entire group and state what we need from all of them at once. Our culture often views women who attempt to address men like this as talking down to them, judging them, even hating them, when it's just a woman trying to make standards setting the norm by sharing what we want and expect. Allowing women to clearly and openly define customs and norms as equals when...

So there is this girl that I went to high school with, and I always thought she was very cute. We haven't spoken to each other since high school. I saw her a couple of days ago on campus and am wondering if it would be appropiate if I message her on FB to see if she want to catch up someday. What do you think? Will I make a fool of myself? We are friends on FB since before btw. Submitted February 14, 2020 at 11:43PM So there is this girl that I went to high school with, and I always thought she was very cute.

I have no idea if this girl is pretty much normal and despite her words and actions of love and commitment she just suddenly realized her feelings weren't there, she didn't love me enough anymore, whatever it may have been that she felt she had to break up with me. Or if this girl really does have issues and there is absolutely nothing I could have done and no matter what she did or I did or anything that could have happened between us, the relationship would have ended. Seeing that this girl was my first relationship, I've never experienced such sudden changes with a significant other before, but more telling for me is I've never heard of it happening to any of my friends either. I went into it thinking she was just another nice, sweet, normal girl. I just thought we had a rare connection and such a great time together and that's what explained things moving rather quickly and all the expressions/actions of affection/love. Not that I was looking for a relationsh...

Been dating around for more than a year now, and I recently started seeing a girl that I would like to have a relationship with. Yesterday she told me that she wanted me to stop seeing other people, reciprocating the sentiment. I agreed, and held her to the promise that she would commit to me, too. To my understanding, I should be "breaking up" with the other girls that I am seeing. How do I communicate my decision with them? Was it the right move to agree to stop seeing other people? It seems that some articles on relationship advice encourage the man to keep his options open even when in a relationship so that the man doesn’t lose his “edge” or become otherwise complacent. Would love to hear advice and perspectives from the community.

So I’ve always had a difficult time striking up a new convo with a complete stranger using a dating app or website. For the guys - What kind of initial messages do you send that typically result in a reply? For the ladies - What type of initial messages do you typically respond to, assuming the guy meets your basic criteria? Thanks!

Before I had real feelings for someone, I used to roll my eyes when someone didn't want to give up on someone they are in love with and they still saw the good in them. I thought they deserve someone better than those they "chased." I told them to move on, until one of them got annoyed with and she told me I've never been in love before so it is hard for me to understand. I felt insulted when she said that. I mean I had crushes before and I could let go of them easily when I thought they wouldn't like me back or when I thought I deserved someone better. Now that happened to me so I realized how cold I was for 25 years. I wasn't very empathetic with those. After I had experience with those feelings, I've softened up with those. I know what they need. They need someone to be there for them and listening to their vents... The last thing they want to hear is when someone told them to move on. They already know this advice. I feel like I can't really tal...

bit of context. me (m19) and a (m21) have been hanging out for about 3 months. i feel kind of bad because i ask to hang out a lot, and he usually says yes, but i don’t know how much is too much. i want to respect his personal space and alone time but lately i’ve been spending a lot of time alone, and if he’s not doing anything i’ll ask to hang out. i feel like i should tell him how i feel and try and set boundaries but i don’t really know how to go about doing so/ how to bring it up because it’s still early. and advice?

Hey y’all! I had a question about a guy in my life. I’ve been talking to him for 7 months now. He’s become a large part of my life and I truly care about him. We talk about what’s going on in our lives and we help each other through it and give positive affirmations. We’re not together, but we act like it sometimes. He told me in the beginning that he has a lot going on and that he can’t do anything serious at the moment and to give him time. We’ve sat down to really talk about it so that I can understand why. He really does have a lot going on (which I can’t write because it’ll be too much). He also works 2 jobs and he’ll restart school soon because he wants to change careers. I get it because I’m going through a lot right now too, work full time, and currently working on my master’s. I haven’t tried pushing it. I’m just letting things happen as they come. He knows my feelings for him and he’s told me that he feels the same. We talk every day. I see him whenever we can make time. I...

I’m gonna start this by saying my girlfriend of 6 months have had some issues and it’s been a struggle. she had an Ex who broke up with her then died in a car crash but he apparently was the love of her life and have her the best Valentine’s Day. So she told me Valentine’s Day is a bad day for her and she doesn’t spend it with people she goes to the cemetery. I was really bummed at the thought of my Valentine’s Day being ruined by someone who broke up with her for one and two has been dead for a few years even. so I planned on being sad and alone today then she asked what I wanted for Valentine’s Day and I said just post a sweet little Instagram picture of us like everyone else does and I’ll be happy as a clam. Well she has a hang up about “flaunting relationships” from another ex so she refuses to post about me. Well I told her not to spend money on me. But I got her nice roses and chocolate covered strawberries. I do this thing where I wait for her to fall asleep and I write out a ...

Everything. About. Her. Is. Amazing. How she rolls her eyes? Stunning. How she runs her hand through my hair? It makes my heart flutter. How she kisses my cheek then lips? I can’t contain my joy. She’s genuinely the wisest person I know, and my best friend. I love talking to her and watching her brain work, while simultaneously internalizing every word she’s saying. Whatever is said, it always interprets like poetry in my mind. I genuinely have no idea how i’ve landed her all that time ago. I legitimately wake up every day happy knowing I can hear her voice and feel her touch in the most wholesome ways. I can’t wait for the rest of our lives.
