Need to vent … upset that I opened up and was vulnerable to someone to only be cut off.

I haven’t gone out in the dating world in a while. This was my first time stepping back out there and I was nervous as hell meeting him in person. We matched on bumble and chatted for a week-ish before meeting… it was literally perfect. We wouldn’t stop texting each other. Fast forward to date #1, it was more than what we thought it could be. We clicked so well and he gave every single sign that he was into me. He straight up told me he wanted to introduce me to his friends one day and was gushing about how his heart kept racing all fast… we kissed and made out and it was just sparks and all. He even said so too. That night was just perfect. We went on date #2 and that was even more perfect. Cooked me dinner and everything. Opened up about our past. It was just great. Then last week he just starts texting less and being distant out of nowhere. I knew something was off. So I asked him and he said everything was fine. But yesterday he was MIA and I officially knew that something was

Dating as an anxious introverted teen..

(M15) First off let me start by saying that this is the first time I decided to man up. I have very bad social anxiety and im very introverted and trapped in my own bubble at home and I have some attachment issues, possible agarophobia too but im not diagnosed with that yet. I am a pretty average looking dude, not ugly, I've had the privilege to be asked out by 2 girls. One from my class and one that I met in a shopping mall. And guess what, even tho they were pretty as hell, not only did I reject them, but ghosted them too. Now, I started High School. On the second day a pretty girl told me she liked my shirt. I thought to myself that it was just her being nice since it was a band tee and she might've liked it. Next day I get a letter (a little old fashioned but it was very cute to me), she wrote that I seemed nice and that she liked my style etc. She wrote her snap and number too. (SHE DID ASK ME IF I WANTED TO BE HER FRIEND) But what seems suspicious to me is that ever sin

/u/Soullessly_Wandering on Recognise Sexual Coercion

For your first question, I'm not 100% sure about a legal issue, but it's definitely something that your partner should not be doing if that's what makes you uncomfortable. Second, you could totally disregard thay experience as your first kiss because it made you uncomfortable, and instead you could think that your future partner will be your first kiss. You were not comfortable with it, so I wouldn't really count it. If you were comfortable enough with said new partner, that is something you could address to them. It's really up to you what you count as your first. Hope that helps! :) November 19, 2022 at 12:26AM

Unrequited

So I (26m) started a job nearly a year ago where I met a coworker (21f) that I admittedly developed a severe crush on. I don’t really date or anything like that, and I hardly prioritize such things over work at the moment, so situations like this are rare for me. I became friends with her and her other coworkers who are also her friends over a short period. Anyway, about a month in and I finally get the nerve to ask her out. She rejects me, albeit softly, saying she doesn’t really hang out with coworkers. I take my lumps and chalk it up to a “oh well, what can you do?” I initially remain distant until I believe she notices that I’m becoming such and I step in just to make sure she knows I’m not giving her the cold shoulder or anything, but just avoiding awkwardness. She laughs and we get along just fine and make jokes. A few days later one of her and I’s friends comes up to me and teases me that I asked her out, stating “yeah, she just doesn’t like anybody.” I kind of felt taken abac

/u/Cave_Eater on To my nonwhite aces, do you think that your culture is accepting of asexuality

I mean is any culture really accepting of aspecs? Not even the lbtq community is fully accepting of us. I think you would be hard pressed to find a culture where sexual relationships arent valued. November 18, 2022 at 11:35PM
