I'm worried for you friend <3 Take care of yourself - your boyfriend shouldn't be pressuring you to have sex with any one if you don't want to December 20, 2022 at 12:52AM

i’m in HS, and because of covid i have had absolutely no way to learn how to go about flirting/dating/anything romantic-y IRL. now for my current predicament: there is a guy at my school that i have a semi-crush on, but i’ve never spoken to him before. we run slightly in the same circles (his best friend’s sister is friends with one of my close friends, if that makes sense) and follow each other on instagram, but i don’t know if he really knows who i am. i’ve caught him looking at me in the hallways/at school events, but i don’t super know what that means. i want to get to know him. how do i do that? i was thinking i could DM him a joke or a question or something, but i don’t know if that would creep him out, seeing as it’d be coming from someone that he only had a vague notion of. at this point, i’m shooting for the friend zone. any help is appreciated.

I broke things off bc he couldn't get it up. I feel really bad about it but hear me out. The first two relationships I'd been in that I'd been intimate with, the sex itself didn't go well. Like ever. The first guy was too big and inexperienced (like me at the time) so it made me very weary of having my cervix smashed. The second relationship was kinda like trying to have sex with a baby carrot that continously disappointed you. Emotionally I felt very strongly for these relationships but was not having fun sexually. My previous "arrangement", it was great. Fantastic. Everything about the sex was perfect and he really knew how to take control and that's what I liked. But outside of the sex he was a straight bastard who would send me mixed signals and treated me like I meant nothing to him. (I got sick of it and ended things, he still didn't care lol). I was um touched as a child and it's made intimacy kinda awkward and difficult for me, I've b

Hi all, just started dating recently and I had my first date yesterday. It went great but towards the end I ended up getting a bit nervous, she (23 years old too) was just staring at me when we were about to part ways. I think she might have been expecting a hug or a kiss but I think it completely went over my head. Im going on a second date with her in a few days but I just wanted to ask for some advice or tips because I’m nervous about the physical touch aspect of things Submitted December 20, 2022 at 12:21AM Hi all, just started dating recently and I had my first date yesterday.

Um, I really mean that in a well-meaning way, I'm just curious: Why are you spending time on this, if you're not enjoying this discussion or liking to think through these things? Just a genuine question, I'm sorry that I'm not able to use a better way of asking this, I'm really not trying to be rude. English just isn't my native tongue (hence I unintentionally used a gendered term on you). December 19, 2022 at 11:20PM
