I (23f) kinda shot my shot with one of my friends (22m) that I really, really like yesterday. I asked him if dating was an option for us and he said he’d never really thought about it because I live on the other side of the country from him. But at the same time he couldn’t say no because “you never know what the future holds” and we’ll see what happens. Fast forward to today, after a few days of thinking it over, I’m 99% certain I’m going to be moving in with a mutual friend of ours that lives near him soon. I just need to sort out the logistics of it all. Any advice on what his non answer means?

I have had a problem in this pandemic. I'm M(16) and I've had a problem where i ask a girl out and she says something along the lines of; i can't because of the rona and my question is, assuming that they are actually interested and they aren't just making an excuse, how do I keep the feelings and all that going so that when the pandemic ends I can ask her out? Any suggestions? Submitted August 20, 2020 at 12:12AM I have had a problem in this pandemic.

So I’m a 19M in University who’s been talking/ hanging out with this 18F. We first meet like a year ago in High School and we were kinda friends for a while then after High school we just stopped talking. Then randomly I receive a message from her saying she wants to meet up. So I meet up with her and we talk about life/ school. The next day she invites me to something again. Then the next day we watch a movie at her dorm and I didn’t know if I should make a move or not. Anyway I was wondering if she is actually in to me or does she just want a friend in college?

To begin, I'm new to Reddit, so I apologize if this is the wrong place for this question. With that said, I grow attached too easily to people without even having been in a relationship. I'm 27M for the record, and a specific example of this is a young woman I met at work who I immediately became interested in soon after she arrived. It took me forever, but I did finally express that I was interested verbally (attracted I think was the exact word I used), but I was soundly rejected without consideration. This part isn't super unexpected as I have never been in a relationship, and am near giving up on the prospect of finding anyone. However, for some reason, I just cannot forget about her: we still work in the same general office, and while I don't see her as much as I used to (we used to sit next to each other), I still get some flutters when she passes. I guess my question is do any of you have advice on how to forget about someone and move on? And furthermore, may

No prob! Hope I can see it one day :D August 20, 2020 at 12:05AM

I’d say 15 is still pretty normal, but then again I literally have no personal experience to go off of, except for my first romantic crush (I’m asexual sooo). August 20, 2020 at 12:05AM

Whaaaaaaaat ? August 20, 2020 at 12:03AM

Why this was supposed to happen 5 years ago? Must be a late bloomer or something August 20, 2020 at 12:01AM

Haha oh I know some people like that! My best friend who was never openly interested in relationships just got a boyfriend, so now I feel more alone in this whole “enjoying being single” thing. Almost everyone I know is dating someone aaaahhhh August 19, 2020 at 11:52PM

If it worked I'd have done it already August 19, 2020 at 11:52PM

That’s so cool! Thanks for sharing the link, I’m excited to explore it August 19, 2020 at 11:48PM

Most of ya'll seem shocked, but that sounds about right to me. By the time I was in 5th grade, most of the girls in my class were obsessing over pictures of shirtless guys and talking about how hot/sexy they were. I was so confused by it, and I was bullied for expressing that confusion, so I felt like I had to fake it... August 19, 2020 at 11:44PM

There was a time when I thought they were funny but yeah, overdone August 19, 2020 at 11:42PM

If sexual activity is important to you just ask them about how they feel about it. Many aces don't mind having sex and even enjoy it, we just don't feel sexual attraction. If they are sex repulsed and don't want to have sex as part of a relationship then I don't think it's offensive to break things off. We aces know sex is super important to some people.

I kind of agree. All humans are invalid, let the world be run by doggos August 19, 2020 at 11:21PM

Omg my group too! They're more low-key although one of them thirsts for his crushes a lot lol. August 19, 2020 at 11:21PM

Honestly I knew this wasnt gonna end well when they called us "heterosexual aces" August 19, 2020 at 11:07PM

I'm (29f) quite introverted/shy so I don't approach guys in public. I also don't have a lot of friends who I can meet men through. I'm open to picking up more hobbies once things open up again. I'd ideally like to be married with kids with a good man before 35 but don't want to give off desperate vibes.
