I want to be in a polyamorous relationship, I'm currently in a "gay" relationship but I feel like having a relationship with 2 or more people (hopefully at least one of them being not a man) would be my dream. I'm panromantic and feel most emotionally fulfilled when surrounded by people of different genders, personalities and experiences. March 14, 2022 at 12:27AM

So you are Poly-romantic but Mono-sexual? I’m a straight up Mono Double Demi so I can’t relate one on one; but MOST places for Poly couples IRL are like orgy meet ups or mixers with separate “after parties”from what I’ve experienced so that’s gotta be super hard for you. There’s likely a community online but it’s probs small/long distance. March 14, 2022 at 12:22AM

when this boy and i first met, we ended up at his place and while we didn't have sex, we did makeout. since then, we've built up to doing other things. i told him about my want for more than what we are (situationship maybe) but he just told me that we'll define it soon. he's told me he loved me like 2x. once while drunk and once the morning of a sexless sleepover. im starting to feel things. it's only been 1.5 months but im not sure if I'm giving myself too easy and giving someone the full gf experience without the commitment. I don't want to be in a situationship for too long only to be heartbroken.

2 years ago, I (M23) have meet someone online (F20) and we had an interesting path. After a few months of talking, we started to have feelings for each other which wasn’t a good thing since she was dating someone, this led us to having some fights which ended with taking breaks but after a while we would come back and start talking again. Last year we finally managed to meet up in person and we had an amazing weekend, the same way we clicked online happened in person too, it went even better than we both expected. But after that meeting, she got involved with a guy and I took a step back and didn’t talk to her too much since I wanted her to have no distractions in that new relationship. Like 1.5 months ago we were having a talk which led to an argument where she basically said I was clingy and that she doesn’t even want to be friends anymore, she unfriended me on snap (the main app we used to talk) but we kept following each other on instagram. That fight was a bit surprising for me f

I am interested in asking out a girl that I met through mutual friends. We have hung out a handful of times and have talked and (I think) flirted a fair amount. My friend (who is a girl, says I need to make small talk through text before asking her out. I would rather not do that and just say “hey X____ it was cool seeing you yesterday day. If you’re free would you want to grab drinks sometime this week? What do you y’all think? Submitted March 14, 2022 at 12:11AM I am interested in asking out a girl that I met through mutual friends.

I (21F) ended a relationship with someone who manipulated and mistreated me three months ago. I really want to try dating again, but I have absolutely no idea how to go at it now that I've been through the emotional ringer. I've been on dating apps for a little while now, but they feel hollow and depressing. What, if anything, can I do to help myself trust people again and potentially find a partner?

I (17m) and she (16m) have been dating for 3 months and have been friends for a much longer. We have a really close bond and she’s the only person I’ve ever cared this much about outside of my close family. Last week we went out for my birthday. We went to run some errands before dinner and while walking to my car I went to hold her hand, and as I did so she said she loved me. I was a bit taken aback and she immediately realized what she said and couldn’t look at me, and was profusely apologizing. I told her that I felt the same way (which I do) and said ‘I love you’ back. Over the course of the evening she apologized a number of times and I just kept telling her that it was fine and there was no need to apologize. I saw no real issue with it but I told some friends and they seemed weirded out by it. I don’t know what to make of it. Is this a red flag? Does it even need to be discussed further?

I matched with this girl on an app and we were messaging back and forth every day for a week before I asked her out. The messages were detailed, long and engaging. But due to my work schedule conflict we had to reschedule our meeting for the following week. The messages slowly started to die down and she ghosted me for two weeks. I was about to delete the app before she sent me another message apologizing for ghosting and saying she was busy with work and went on vacation. She asked if I was still interested in meeting up. I said yes and scheduled it for today at a local dessert cafe. She looked a little bit different from her profile pics but not drastically. I could she put time I to doing her makeup and hair and picking out a nice outfit. We sat down and ordered our desserts and started talking about everything and anything - hobbies, what we do in our free time, relationship with friends and family, work, school, Netflix and Disney plus shows. There weren't really any awkward
