Hi! Me and my girlfriend have been apart for 3 months due to the lockdown protocols implemented here in my country. I really love her so much, and i really wanted to do something for her, a gift per se. I was wondering if i could get some suggestions and ideas from you on what kind of gift I could do (online, preferably) that can truly make her happy and show her how much I love her. Thanks in advance! Submitted May 28, 2020 at 11:59PM Hi! Me and my girlfriend have been apart for 3 months due to the lockdown protocols implemented here in my country.

I'm legitimately curious if it's worth trying to find connections from such a large platform like reddit. Don't get me wrong. I love this place. So many crazy and wonderful people here. I know this was never meant to be any sort of dating/hookup website. Dating apps are..... not great, let's just leave it at that. I have tried a few, and nothing came from them. I work in a predominantly male industry as an auto mechanic, so I don't get to meet many females. And I absolutely despise going to bars/clubs. I have no issues talking with people IRL. I think I'm actually pretty good at communicating face-to-face. But actually meeting women/females that are single can be challenging. I'm not even talking about the whole Covid deal. My goal is to find someone I can have a relationship with. A serious relationship. I know it won't happen instantly, I'm not delusional. Medium/"small" town of around 200k population. So here's my question: is o...

I am reposting this because I didn’t really get many opinions on here, and I want to know what other people think before I ask her out. I’m planning to ask her out sometime in the near future. For context, me and this girl are friends, but I would not consider us close friends. We had a class together last Fall, we talked some in there. I ended up not taking the second class in the sequence this spring, I put it off till this Fall. So I haven’t really seen or spoken to her much this semester, as we have different schedules. Seen her 2-3 times around campus this semester, spoke once for a min or two on the way to class. Anyway, a few weeks ago I messaged her asking how many hours she had shadowing a doctor, because she’s applying to medical school and I want to too, but I haven’t started shadowing yet. That’s how the conversation started. We talk a little, I ask her what medical school she wants to go to. She says (school) and I ask her why that school, tell her I’ll need to researc...

I have two guys, both 20 yrs old, who are prospective future boyfriends. I’ve been in the “talking stage” with one of them for a month, and the other I haven’t known as long but he asked me on an actual date rather than getting into a talking stage. Talking stage guy is nice, but seems kinda like an ass at times and it’s really confusing cause one moment he’ll flirt with me and then the next he leaves me on read or says something kinda rude. But I know for a fact that talking stage guy likes me and I’m the only girl he is into. Trust me on that one. Actual date guy is very sweet and we connected well on our first date and have plans to go on another. My dilemma is that I have really strong feelings for talking stage guy, but his attitude bothers me. It’s like an emotional rollercoaster with him and I just don’t get it. Date guy is super nice and fun to be around but I just don’t feel the same way about him :/ so to any guys, why is the one dude being half nice/ half asshole and how sh...

I (f27) went out with this guy (m27) early last week and it went really well, he texted me to tell me he had a good time and complimented me, he said to hit him up so we could go on another date. He texts me every day and replies to all of my posts on instagram. but lately he's been taking hours to respond or not responding at all then will reply to something on instagram but not respond to the text I sent. I asked him when he's free to hang out again and he said he doesn't know but he'll get back to me, it's been maybe two or three days and I haven't heard anything from him about when he's free. He's invited me to talk on the phone though I haven't taken him up on it. Should I just give up?

Six years ago, I had a best friend who shared most of the same interests, hobbies, and lifestyle as me. She loved the outdoors just as much as I did, and we bonded in the outdoors while hunting, fishing, kayaking, and snowmobiling. We also bonded while at work, learning about and working on mechanical repairs and maintenance as well as doing manual labor. We were best friends, and I kick myself every time for not realizing that we were perfect for each other. The reason I gave the age of 14 was because that was the last time I saw her, since she had to move down South for a new work opportunity that her father got, but we had known each other and probably been best friends ever since our very first day of preschool, since we both lived in the same town, until she moved. I kick myself every time I think about her, and after she moved away we kind of just disappeared from each other's life, unfortunately. Now, though, four years after she left, I'm still kicking myself for not ...

I'm kind of the same. I'll talk to guys and go on dates, but I'll always get a moment where I feel uncomfortable and that I don't really want to be there or be in a relationship with them. It's weird. Like the thought is nice but that's about it. May 29, 2020 at 12:03AM

Fortunately, the guys from /pol/ are exactly the type of people to discuss their plans on a public message board. May 29, 2020 at 12:02AM

I know the feeling... May 28, 2020 at 11:49PM

Yes, the only difference was that I just accepted I didn’t like anyone and after I found asexuality I became lonely May 28, 2020 at 11:39PM

Oof, that’s rough buddy May 28, 2020 at 11:36PM

'Natural' way of life? By definition, a behaviour that is unnatural - that goes against the laws of nature - cannot exist. The fact that asexuality exists means that it is natural. I think what you mean to say is 'normal'. May 28, 2020 at 11:34PM

It makes total sense!!! Thank you for commenting with your similar experience and offering what you do to make sexual experiences better. There have been quite a few valuable suggestions in my other post in r/relationship_advice which I linked in the above comment. You might benefit from viewing that post too! May 28, 2020 at 11:33PM

It’s 4chan. They may or may not even acknowledge aces as part of the community which for once may work in our favor May 28, 2020 at 11:31PM

That is so dumb. They are trying so hard to be “edgy and cool”, but they are just hateful dumbasses. That’s 4chan I guess May 28, 2020 at 11:30PM

I'm not attracted to doing my chores, but finishing them feels nice. May 28, 2020 at 11:28PM

You might want to look into aegosexuality, it’s a subset of ace that are aroused by sexual content separate from themselves, such as anime girls and other fiction. May 28, 2020 at 11:28PM

Ok thank you. May 28, 2020 at 11:26PM

I’m somewhere between aegosexual and demisexual, and, other than being gender flipped and the homeschool part, this sounds a lot like me. Aegosexual means that you can be sexually aroused by sexual content that is seperated from you, and character crushes are fairly common amongst demis. The ace umbrella covers quite a bit. It can be useful to see everything that’s out there. Also, I know one thing that helped me out a lot was looking into the different kinds of attraction, especially sensual and aesthetic, so the split model of attraction might be worth looking into too. Hope this helps and good luck. May 28, 2020 at 11:21PM

I just wanted to say thanks for bringing up your situation. There are some valuable answers, such as the one aforementioned. I relate strongly to your experience of asexuality. To add my own grain of salt, what makes me like sex is the intimacy, or rather getting close to the other person, as I bear many insecurities. I make sex about that. I picture sex as getting close to my partner, listening to his cues, making him feel good and pleasure him. You seem to do so too, since you're the real MVP haha. I think what makes it hard for me right now is that he feels bad about making the first move and therefore I just never really get aroused. I guess I need to learn how to turn myself on first... Because of this, it sometimes feel like a vicious circle. I don't even know if my gibberish makes any sense at all. May 28, 2020 at 11:17PM

It’s perfectly understandable. You did come across as frustrated, but your allowed to have feelings. May 28, 2020 at 11:11PM

Fair enough. I didn't mean to sound rude; I can understand why they want to project it to everyone. I just feel like it's not that big of a deal, not when we're so young and should be out dong things, not rushing into discovering genders and sexualities, which I suppose are important to her, so I listen to her little rants. Sorry if it came across as me getting angry at her. May 28, 2020 at 11:07PM

Tired of being grossed out of a thought of being romantic with anyone else, been alone for about one year (a bit more now) and I feel like I can't love or be intimate with anyone, the thought of it actually grosses me out, my body actually tenses and I feel uncomfortable just thinking about it... When does this shit goes away? I'm ready to get over it, do I need therapy? Getting blackout drunk?
