/u/Maikeru6 on Because I want to, and probably need to, talk about this.

It's a perfectly valid reason and makes total sense. I would never tell my mother about me being aego for a similar reason. Right now I have completely disowned her as my mother for another reason but let's just chuck one more on the pile. She is currently married to someone (not my dad) who is a giant prick of a Christian who has openly mocked other sexualities and has said that he speaks for her so you can see my wanting to keep it a secret. Edit: I'm not making fun of Christians or any religion for that matter. I just wanted to clarify what his core beliefs are to give context. You believe what you want to believe it's your choice and I respect that February 05, 2022 at 12:17AM

/u/Frosty_Yesterday_343 on My doctor marked my method birth control as "abstinence", which bothers me.

Im on birth control to control my abnormal heavy cycles. My doctor never used abstinence. February 05, 2022 at 12:13AM

/u/_ManWhoSoldTheWorld_ on my parents want to but me on birth control, what should i do?

It's not really your parents decision, you're old enough to make that call. Just tell them no, if they ask why just say you aren't sexualy active at the moment, or just nothing at all. It's none of their business whether you are on birth control. :) February 05, 2022 at 12:10AM

Is it normal to have "dry spells" without any serious romantic prospects?

I hate to use terms like "dry spells" or "prospects," but I feel like they're the words that fit the most. Is it normal to have periods without anyone I'm seriously interested in? I'm in college and I haven't talked to someone I was interested in since late December 2021. Before then, I had been talking to people / actively pursuing "prospects" for about two years. Is it normal to have gone over a month without talking to anyone I'm into or even seriously being interested in anyone?

I finally decided to text him back. Here’s what happened

Here’s what’s going on for those who didn’t see my og post: I (27f) have a crush on my (40m) friend. I texted him one of those corny online valentines as a hint and he didn’t respond. I texted him about it today and here’s what happened: The first message is from me, it says: “sorry if it made you uncomfortable, I just thought it was cute. The pun in it is kind of cringy anyways.” He replied: “sorry i didn’t get back to you until just now! It’s a very good pun and a very neutral Valentine’s message and nothing wrong with sending that to anybody. I say that because I’ve sent messages that were way more playing than that and then spent the next hour overthinking it without the Valentine’s Day context and without the longer than a day delay. So I just wanted to say sorry then and there for that It’s an awful excuse that does not grant me leniency but it makes me feel better to say that as the only employee of the 4 who has been at work for the last 2 days I haven’t been very social...

Questions to avoid on first dates?

Going to my first ever date in a few days and I was just wondering what questions to avoid asking the guy? I’m new to the dating game so are there any sensitive topics that i shouldn’t talk about? I’m a v talkative person so just making sure… Submitted February 05, 2022 at 12:08AM Going to my first ever date in a few days and I was just wondering what questions to avoid asking the guy?

Sometimes its not you they're just too stressed with work/family

Had a guy end it eith me because i didnt give enough space I think. He is super busy and I clinged too much. If someone is busy at work respect it. Don't disturb them if they cant set bounderies.

Are my expectations of him too high?

I feel like he treats me just like any one of his buddies. Today I received a job offer for a position I've been really hoping to get for weeks now... I went through multiple interview rounds that I informed him about and not once did he even send a text wishing me luck or anything (though he does work during the times of the interviews). When I finally received the offer today, I couldn't even tell him right away because he doesn't look at his phone at work (he's a coach), so I patiently waited until I knew he would have a break and when we spoke, he simply said "I knew you'd get it" no smile, no energy. And then proceeded to tell me he needed to take a shit before he gets back to work... I quickly mentioned that I would love to go out and have a drink tonight to celebrate and he lacklusterly said he's not drinking due to training but he'll get a bottle for me if I want... It was very cold-sounding. I personally would expect my man to make sure h...
