EDIT: I’m not romantically involved with him, I’m only interested. He hasn’t indicated any interest in me, I was just wondering if you think we’d have a chance I’m 16 and female and interested in a male who is 25. We have an age gap of 9 years, which is massive at this age but I feel like in a few years that won’t matter. My parents have the same age gap as him and I. The issue is that he basically sees me as a kid (rightly so, it’s not right for him to see me romantically at this age) but because we’ve been friends for a while I worry that he’ll never view me the way I want him to. Specifically because I always get guidance from him and he never asks me for guidance. It means there’s an imbalance in our relationship, and we’ll never be on the same level. I’ve been weak in front of him, he’s never been weak in front of me. Of course, this might be something that changes with time and me growing up but I guess we’ll see? Do you think I have even the slightest chance of being with ...

So ive been friends with this girl for a few years now. I would say a lot of things about us are pretty similar both physically and how we think. I guess that parts not important it just baffles me why she’s the one guys are attracted to when we are often described as the same person. What am I not doing? We are both single, and whenever a guy comes around that I’m attracted to, she always is too. Then it becomes this silent unspoken “battle” for lack of a better word to spend time with that person. I think she loves the idea that she’s winning more attention from the guys than I am more than the guys themselves. And will go out of her way to secretly text them or even hang out with them without me. At first I thought it was a coincidence we liked the same people. but over the years I’m realizing it’s every guy I end up crushing on, she likes them too. Sometimes only after I’ve disclosed my feelings to her, or it becomes obvious. She’s naturally flirtier than I am, I tend to be shy, ...

Long story short I met a guy travelling and we spent a couple of awesome days together. He actively pursued me and was generally really sweet and into it. I had a more cooler approach but ended up liking him a lot. We said our goodbyes but have been texting since (2 months). He kept texting me he missed me and vice versa. We have a bunch of similar interests, same humour etc. Now he lives about 4 hours by plane but early on he asked me to come visit at some point and I said I'd love to. Later I mentioned we could meet up in a few months and he said he'd love to see me again but we didn't make any definite plans. I mentioned a few possible dates a couple of weeks later and he said we'd talk about it the next day which we never did because his phone broke. I didn't breach the subject again because that would really make me look desperate. I have no clear expectations out of this but maybe he thinks I do? Or he's over it? This is confusing me so much. Should I ju...

I messed up and lost a girl I really liked. I keep obsessing over the mistakes I made. How do I move past this? It's really bothering me. I regret it so much. I'll never have that opportunity again. It's my fault. She did nothing wrong. It was all me. Submitted October 31, 2019 at 11:58PM I messed up and lost a girl I really liked. I keep obsessing over the mistakes I made.

Should I move on? (35M) meet a someone (33F) on a dating site. She made initial contact. We messaged a bit in the app then she gave me her number and asked that I text her the next day. I texted her with the goal of meeting up for coffee sometime in the next week. She stated she wanted to text to get to know each other first. She had been really hurt in the past. I texted back that I understand that she wants to take it slow. A few days in I ask again if she has considered meeting for coffee. She said she was not ready. I told her that when she is to let me know. I will respect that she is not ready and i don’t want to push her. She is also a single mother with kids. I also have two kids 50/50 custody. It’s been over a week. I dint know what the heck to text anymore. It’s the standard good morning, good night, how’s your day stuff now. Her answers are short and hardly any questions. I mean how the heck are you going to get to know a person over text? Anyway I’m thinking of texting h...

I'm a kiddo (15f) and completely adore a guy in the same grade. We don't have any classes together this year but did last year, and are very different people in terms of skills, but have overlapping interests and are dating I think(?) He refers to me as "his girl" and has a pet name for me, we talk a lot through text mainly, say good morning and good night, but he seems to avoid labeling it as dating (if that's the case I can respect it, he has a not very good past experience) we hang out most mornings mon wed fri, cause we both have spares first period, where we just kinda snuggle and talk. it's been 4 weeks I think, and he's come over twice, both being very date-like even though we didn't call them dates. the main problems come in with age I believe, because we're both immature being kids, and both have some mental issues. I'm a lot more open than he is, but obviously not gonna push him to talk about stuff he doesn't want to. he's...
