How do I deal with a potential partner having very little time for a relationship?

I (19m) have been seeing a girl (21f) for almost 2 months. We clicked on our dates and have been falling for each other but... she does an extremely demanding university degree, and it takes up a lot of her time. This leaves her little opportunity to see her friends, let alone for us to spend time together. Our country has just entered another lockdown and I realistically won’t be able to see her because she lives across the city (about 50 minutes from my house). I do a pretty relaxed degree in university, so I have a lot of free time. One of her family members has also recently had some health problems so that has her stressed. Once the lockdown is over she has exams and won’t have much time either. We both are really into each other but the circumstances are difficult. Both of us are torn whether to end it now to prevent hurt feelings or to see where it goes. Can anyone provide some advice for this situation?

Need some serious help

I need some help with some things I've been overthinking. I've recently seen this guy and I like him alot he seems pretty chill and we went skating when we first met up it was super fun. I want to hang out with him again so I asked if he wanted to smoke this weekend he said he was busy with work and stuff like that. For a bit of a background my past relationships haven't worked out because I can't see hints when someone wants to drop me (I don't pick up on social cues and have a hard time thinking people want to be around me) so I usually come off as clingy when I ask if they want to hang out and they are sitting there like "I've sent this bitch three dry snaps why can't she take a hint" when in actual fact I'm not clingy I just can't pick up hints, anyways back to the main point he said he was busy with work and I completely understand and should I text him next week to see if he wants to smoke? I know this is gonna look stupid and childi

Dating vs Hanging Out

The guy I’ve been seeing for almost two months suggested a casual night in (we’ve slept together already) to watch movies and get delivery and called it “hanging out”. At what point into a relationship should you stop being concerned about whether spending time together is a date or hanging out? We have lots of fun date-dates like dinner, activities, etc, but it’s getting cold and covid is bad again where we are. Everything online says “hanging out” is not a “date”. Is that still valid after 8 dates? Am I being crazy?

Advice this whole subreddit needs

Women are not complex We are humans and the exact same as men. If you like a women and she clearly doesn't hate you then all you do is ask her out. If she says no then you leave her alone, don't harass her, don't "chase" her. She's not trying to play hard to get, she's not unsure. She doesn't like you so leave her alone. Just because a girl is friendly to you doesn't mean she likes you. Just because she text you, views ur story, hugs you, touches ur arm it doesn't mean anything. The amount of men on this subreddit that assume a women can't even look at a man without liking him is crazy and ridiculous. Just cause someone is friendly and playful doesn't man anything. Sure over touching can ve seen as a sign of someone liking you but her tapping your arm from time to time doesn't mean shit. If you like a girl, just ask her out. Don't try and investigate, don't try and read her body language cause no one knows how to. Ask

/u/strawberryspringtime on I heard it was Ace Week so I thought I'd share this space ace themed soap I made for myself a few weeks ago. The swirls were actually a mistake but they look cool and fit the theme so I just rolled with it lol.

Thanks! Honestly I used the ones I messed up first lol. October 28, 2020 at 11:57PM

While everyone else is finding to be accepted by society itself, we're still fighting to be accepted by our own community. October 28, 2020 at 11:48PM

/u/DenkiKalamarii on Thinking about asking my mom about sexual attraction

honestly idk if theres much she can help with since sexual attraction is really dependent on how you feel. Im 16 and never brought it up to my mom just because i knew shed be biased against it. i spent a long time just keeping it in mind, thinking about what i feel towards crushes and what id catagorize it as. honestly its pretty hard for us to be sure because how can we know that we dont feel something we've never felt? its hard but asking someone else wont make it much easier. thats just my take of course, i could be wrong and it could be different for you.

/u/miladymondegreen on Don’t you just love that

I'm friends with a lot of queer people, and that's not my experience (some of my friends are gay, lesbian, and trans, I am nb and ace myself), and was involved in my alma mater's LGBTQ+ club without issue. It's important to recognize that just because some people are assholes, they don't represent the entire community. Vilifying an entire group for the actions of a few exclus toes the line with bigotry. Aphobia won't be solved by responding with homophobia. October 28, 2020 at 11:29PM

/u/missingmygender on Don’t you just love that

Pardon my ignorance, but I thought ace people can have fetishes - I could be mixing it up with kink ig but I know there are a good deal of aces who enjoy sex and have those sort of preferences, but still don't experience any sexual attraction. October 28, 2020 at 11:13PM

Feelings are overall complicated. And being bi seems to be complicated for me as I like toxic men and women intimidate me haha eventually you find where you settle with yourself October 28, 2020 at 11:09PM

/u/injusticehasbeendone on Don’t you just love that

So sex is important for them because they've been persecuted for years for their desire to have sex with the "wrong" gender. It shouldn't be taken this way but a lot of people might take it in the same sort of way someone responding to a trans person that they don't feel gender at all. Trans people feel gender quite strongly and are horribly treated and have had to fight to validate their own existence on the basis of that. An agender person coming along and stating that gender is a thing they've never felt and they feel like gender isn't necessary isn't explicitly invalidating trans and gender queer people but it gets awfully close to feeling like that. It sucks and is unfortunately not an abnormal human response. Some people see lesbians as a statement that men aren't needed in the world that they think themselves above needing men. Some people think that ace people are a statement about their morality. Straight or not some people have built a
