This has been typed out after months and months of thinking (or overthinking if that's more accurate). First, here's a few things about me. I'm a single extrovert (ENFP in particular if you're one of the people who wonder about those) who's never been in a relationship with anyone and yet I know my way around when it comes to dealing with people of all sorts. I have this habit where I keep analysing every single detail, gestures made by people, the way they talk, etc. I used not to be like this but because of traumatizing experience and multiple melancholic ordeals I've been through in my life, I came into a certain agreement with myself that something had to change. I became a better version of myself despite never going through any therapy sessions (or at least that's what I'd like to believe—you'll find out why those brackets are here in a bit) . I used to be sensitive as fuck, but, like I said, something had to change. I stopped crying over ev...

My (F21) fiance (M24) and I have just hit the two year mark and I couldn't be happier. After having previously dated (M24) for 2 years on and off someone who 1) always used suicide to keep me in a relationship 2) held knives to my throat thinking I liked it 3) sexually assaulted me while I was sleeping and I spent 6 months thinking it was my fault. 4)threw me against a wall when I accidentally hurt him with someone minor and held me while biting hard on my face. My fiance, without fail, will 1) calm me down from panic attacks with breathing methods. 2) kiss me on the forehead when he is on his way to work 3) turn over in his sleep and rubs my back in circles 4) holds me when triggers have happened between us. 5) implement a traffic light system in bed for my safety and mental health. There are good guys out there who will love you and care for you and I couldn't be more grateful. I couldn't be more thankful for someone who will go above and beyond and look after me. His ...

It was on April 2012 that they met. She was working her shift at Sonic and he was applying there. She went to the back part of the store and he was sitting there in a green and white button up shirt, cargo shorts, and sneakers. They exchanged greetings and the day went on. He got the job and would be starting soon. They had many shifts together but for now they were just co-workers. Weeks pass and they have gone from co-workers to friends. One day she was complaining about everyone texting her at work and he said "well it's not me, I don't have your number." Without saying anything she reaches into his pocket, puts her number in his phone and puts it back in his pocket. "Well now you do" she says. They started texting each other randomly, just talking about anything and nothing. He starts to feel something for her but he realizes a problem. She was with someone at the moment. But little did he know she didn't really want to be the guy she was with. So h...

Letting things go I was seeing this girl that Ive known since high school last year up to now. She’s 19 I’m 22, we come from two totally different backgrounds she’s a girl of the church I’m just a guy from the street. When we first started goin out I was only goin out with her to make my ex mad. Turns out it just makes you feel like shit. I was with her for 6 months then I just went MIA to California I blocked her before I did , you know just cut off loose ends. I stayed in Cali for a month and came back, she saw me at a store in Washington. She decided to hit me up and try to work it out so we did. I asked her dad if we could go out this may he said yes but there expections for me was to be apart of the church and devote myself. That’s not me, but I went to support her . She’s illegal and living in her parents crib, I’m out on my own. They never let her out . They always had something to say about me on how I’m less of a man or how I think isn’t correct there old fashioned Mexicans....

I loved this girl for the past 4 years and I told her a year ago that I liked her and she kinda friend zoned me and told me she loved me as a friend. 2months ago I accidentally met her while going home and we talked a bit for a sec. After a week or so she texted me and now we text on a daily basis and she gives me a lot of hints and I know she loves me from her friends too. And I LOVE HER TOO but something from inside keeps me away and tells me not to do it. I don’t know if Im afraid of a relationship or something but what do you guys think!!

Ok ummm well I’m new on this but I really need help. I was normally chatting with her (she’s a girl) and she says that I’m her crush, but she said that like in a joke; then we send gifs about love...is she crushing on me?!?!? The problem over here is that she’s saying almost the same since 4 months? And we have been friends since a year. She’s really confusing me, I really like her but what about her feelings??

Hi! Me and my girlfriend have been apart for 3 months due to the lockdown protocols implemented here in my country. I really love her so much, and i really wanted to do something for her, a gift per se. I was wondering if i could get some suggestions and ideas from you on what kind of gift I could do (online, preferably) that can truly make her happy and show her how much I love her. Thanks in advance! Submitted May 28, 2020 at 11:59PM Hi! Me and my girlfriend have been apart for 3 months due to the lockdown protocols implemented here in my country.

i want to be in love. I want to be in love so I can understand. understand all the love songs and poems and movies. but also because i want that connection that’s unlike a friendship or family relationship. i have so much love to give too. it makes me cry to think about. out of sadness but also out of slight embarrassment. I can’t explain it but i’m sure some of you get it. I go through phases of this longing/yearning for someone and at the end just feel lonely. i’ll get over it soon and I know i (21F) am so young and yadda yadda. just wanted to put this out there.

i wanted to talk about love for a second. You see love can be both a noun and a verb. You can do the loving or feel the loving. so which one is the correct way to love? i'm curious to hear your answers in my opinion, love is something you should do. Its almost as though your taking the loving from somebody else, but at the same time giving it back to replace the love that we took. Kind of like breathing. As we exhale, we lose the old oxygen, but as we inhale we breathe in nice, new oxygen Submitted May 24, 2020 at 12:06AM i wanted to talk about love for a second.

I thought that night was the last time I'd ever think about you. But you are still here, you haven't left. Why do you have to be so hard to forget? You are stuck in my head so bad, I can't do anything except for thinking about it. Why did you have to become such an integral part of my life only to not give a damn about me? From the moment I wake up, to the moment I go to sleep you are always present in my head. I can't listen to music without thinking about you. I can't work without thinking about you. I still look around to maybe see your face somewhere around. I still love you. And I will keep writing this shit to you while I am sure you are never even going to read this and the only you I am mentioning here is an illusion created by my mind.

I'm in a small town. I know almost everyone but I can't get a job anywhere but here. I got a job at our local store and all I can think is that its going to ruin my chances of finding someone for the whole time I'm working there. I'm sick of being alone and I just want someone already I don't want to be alone for 6 months to a year longer. Its already been long enough. Submitted May 20, 2020 at 12:13AM I'm in a small town.

Babe, you're seriously the love of my life and I know I always sound like a broken record but you are. You have been the love of my life for 11 months and 3 days, that's a lot and seriously my longest relationship yet and I'm glad it's with you. For the past 2 weeks I've been having dreams about you non-stop because you're always on my mind 24/7, if dreams are the only way I get to see you and touch you and feel you during this quarantine then so be it baby at least I get to experience you again. I am lucky to be in love with my bestfriend I often think about the first time we met and how shy I was to even look at you, hell even talk to you but you decided to make conversation and I swear when I looked up at you I felt an instant connection. It sounds odd but it's the truth and it's a connection I have never felt with anyone in my whole entire life, not even with my closest friends even from way back in middle school. You are the only person I have fel...

Maybe this is something we’ll tell our grandchildren about, pining for each other through an era of uncertainty and fear. It’s the longest time we’ll be apart, and we thought it would only last for a few months. Here we are, a scary span of time ahead of us, and no one could fill the hole in my life that you leave. I need the ocean to fill and the world to stop spinning so I can start the long walk into your arms. If I could I’d swim to you, I’d quarantine for years with you, I’d be locked into a room with only you and be as content as a woman can be. What I wouldn’t give to be beside you right now, your fingers through my hair, your breath on my ear, whispering that you love me. I miss you.

So for awhile until recently I’ve always gotten huge anxiety attacks when a female wants to be in a relationship with me. When I was 15 a girl told me she wanted to be with me. I liked her and she was amazing. But then when I tried to pop the question I tensed up and got super nervous. Same thing happened to me a little later on. This other girl wanted me and when she made a move on me I froze and tensed up. I wanted to be in a relationship with both of them. I’ve regretted all of that ever since. Now I don’t get anxiety attacks that much anymore. I text girls and get head from them frequently. But I still can’t stop thinking about the moments that happened when I was 15. Has anyone else gone through this? Why do you all think this huge 180 happen? What was wrong with me?

It does help me to know that others are having a similar problem. For various reasons the stakes are high with my girlfriend getting covid so we’ve had to be careful, but we have seen each other and talked from a distance. The other day we sat on the grass with our legs straight out, took our shoes off, and put the soles of our feet together sock to sock. It sounds ridiculous, but it made my heart race. Miss her so much. ❤️ Submitted May 13, 2020 at 12:13AM It does help me to know that others are having a similar problem.

You probably forgot about me in this quarantine, but I've been thinking of you the whole period, even without seeing you, I experienced happiness, sadness, surprise, regret, fear, concern, relief, hope, horniness, excitement, anxiety, delusion, pride, shame, madness, all of this just thinking about you and your implications with me, I dont remember feeling so much, I even dreamt of you three times. We had very few interactions, mostly trivial ones, but you aways was sympathic to me, when I made a scene in front of every one, you didnt go mad, you were laughing in secret to not shame me more, when I apologised, you said "It's fine" in such nice way. You aways seen to have good vibes, trying to stay positive and laugh at funny situations without taking it too seriously. You dont look like most of my colleagues, you look colourful, full of life dont fearing what people might think of you. You look more closed to strangers, maybe feeling insecure or being shy, but you ...
