I use LGBT if that term is already in use, but I prefer going with "queer" since it is just anything that deviates from the cis-heteronormative standard, rather than a bunch of labels and distinct culturally-changing identities. February 09, 2022 at 12:21AM

Well, a romantic relationship doesn’t mean there’s sex involved. It’s totally fine to ship fictional teenagers in a romantic way, but it would be really weird and inappropriate if people were shipping them in a sexual way. February 09, 2022 at 12:20AM

I kissed the girl I was getting serious with and i felt the same. It was wierd and i was super disappointed that I felt nothing/didn't like it. At least it led me to the ace community though February 09, 2022 at 12:20AM

So since I was 14, I’ve kept a full record of my dating life. I’m 20 now and I have an excel sheet tracking everything I have down romantically. I have everything on there. From the name of the girl I asked out to the reaction she had and how I felt after, the approach I took, the location, how I met her, and for some of the recent ones exactly what I said to her. So fair I’ve only logged in rejections, and I’m at 319 total rejections. (Including girls I didn’t match with on dating apps it’s approximately 12,661 total rejections, but it’s a numbers game amirite?) I mentioned this to my friend and he told me that it was weird that I kept track of this. I can admit since it’s only rejections right now it seems kinda sad but I’m sure after I get my first date, kiss, and lose my virginity it’ll be less sad. Is this weird? Am I the only one who does this? Submitted February 09, 2022 at 12:03AM So since I was 14, I’ve kept a full record of my dating life. I’m 20 now and I have an e...

Honestly can't wait for #singleawarenessmonth. I also wonder if some people try to rush into relationships before Valentine's Day so they won't be single.

Tl;dr my ex got out of prison and he thinks we are closer than I think we are. We are just at different stages of the breakup. So we broke up because he went to prison. And we didn’t really talk while he was away. It has been a good number of years. For me, I have been to college and graduated, moved out of state twice, and just generally had a lot of stuff going on. So he kinda faded from my daily thought. He recently got out of prison and got my number, and at first it wasn’t too bad, but he is messaging me more often now. I get the feeling that to him, it is almost like we just broke up fairly recently since he hasn’t been doing a lot of stuff. I’m just having trouble because while I do care about him as a person, I’m not interested in a relationship anymore. It has been years. I don’t want to leave him isolated as he makes his transition, but I also don’t want him to think I’m open to getting back together. I’d love any advice on how to reconcile this difference in closure level...

Who else has completely removed their ex from everything? I honestly am sick of the bullshit and have felt in my stomach I want to get rid of them off of social permanently. What should I do? I also feel bad but I kind of am just over it, this person seems to be stringing me along and goes ghost when it’s time to hangout. I know I deserve better and am ready to just move on with my life.

I met this guy on reddit and we were talking and getting really close for a few weeks. Both telling each other how we liked each other, how crazy it was that we felt so connected with each other, and it felt good. It felt good when we were talking on the phone, doing sex stuff, we'd snapchat each other every day and I think I just got too caught up in it all that I really truly started to feel for him. Like, I really do care about him and he's become like my best friend and I do love him in a way. So I had a few drinks last night (got drunk) and I ended up texting him over snapchat that I love him and it freaked him out (understandably). And we talked about it today and I told him that it isn't necessarily an "in love" love, it's like a love I'd feel for a best friend. But I'm thinking the damage might be done. I'm realizing more and more that I said it in the moment without really thinking about how I really felt. I feel stupid and like I fucke...
