Hi Guys I understand that there will be countless threads like this but I couldn't find one to deal with my particular concerns. Basically there's a girl (F19) in one of my classes who I'd like to ask out. My worries are as follows... I don't know her super well, we only talk in class, on average I speak to her about 10 mins per week. I'd love to talk to her more, but the only way to do so is to ask her out. I'm worried if I get rejected it will be a little awkward as we will still be in the same class. Therefore ideally I'd look for a way of asking her out which could potentially be framed as not quite a 'date'. I understand that this is a little foolish, but ideally I could make a hint but then back down if I get rejected so it wouldn't be so awkward. And yeah I know I sound like a coward but I'm pretty shy and as I say this is my first time asking a girl out. So basically I'm just looking for advice on how to ask someone ...

So it's been a dream of mine to live and abroad for the whole of my life. I've sacrificed a lot to be the stage I am now where I have no attachments to my home country other than my family. I was planning to apply for jobs abroad this summer ready for a move in the winter. However, I really get on with this girl, she's attractive, smart and we share gave a lot of chemistry. I guess I'm just looking for some advice on what to do. Do I stay and see how things go with this girl or do I let her know I'm going away and I'm unavailable?

Anyone else as clueless as I am with dating? How do people even date these days? I have a good amount of dating experience and have been in two long term relationships and I still don’t know wtf I’m doing. Long story short, I (28F) met a guy (27M) last year who was in town for a month and we had a fun fling but also a low key genuine, intense connection. We’ve kept in touch since then and at some point a couple months ago, admitted to having feelings for each other. I constantly remind myself that nothing will come of this because of the distance but I know how rare it is to meet people you really connect with. A couple weeks ago, he reached out to let me know he was gonna be in town this weekend for a long weekend and wanted to see me. I told him I was down but we never made solid plans as it was a few weeks away but it’s now Tuesday and he’s supposed to be here Thursday and I haven’t heard from him. He’s not very organized and is somewhat spontaneous when it comes to making plan...

I (20 M) started talking to my friend (22 F) at the start of last year from college. I really thought I hit it off with her at the start and everything felt and was so easy to talk to unlike other girls. She was seeing another man at the time and we all went to a festival together. We had such a good time and we spent a lot of the time dancing together. She then left for America for the summer and I went travelling. I didn't really text her over the summer because I didn't want to get attached and she would be so far away. At the end of the summer she came back with a boyfriend. I went to her house a lot alone and spent lots of nights out just with her. I never got with girls when she was around because I would feel weird about it. She recently got cheated on by her boyfriend and is now single. I've been spending a lot of time lately and she think she needs to spend some time single after what happened. I really want to start a relationship with her but I don't wa...

I met this girl on tinder and we talked for a couple weeks until I was back in town after the holidays and we finally got together to hang out. It went well we had really good chemistry and I kept coming back to hang out with her throughout the next 2 weeks. I stayed at her house with her 2 nights and we hooked up and after that she became distant so I stopped pursuing nearly as hard. Last week I asked her to hang out and she flaked out on me so I went no contact and went along with my life. Yesterday she initiated a conversation on Snapchat and did it again today as well as meeting me to do homework together on our college campus and we talked. She told me about her problems with her roommate and seems very excited to see me again as it had been like 2 weeks. And I think I saw her for like 5 minutes last Tuesday. She then invited me to go to a coffee shop with her and her friend. We matched on bumble this morning and she hasn’t messaged me on the app (I’m not expecting her too) I’m j...

So there’s this girl.. advice appreciated So there’s this girl who I met on a dating app who I’ve been talking to pretty regularly for 1.5 months - think texting throughout the day, we used to stay up and talk till late etc. but we haven’t met up yet She just got out of a serious relationship which she was in for years and said she’s not over her ex which is why she doesn’t want to go on a date with me or meet because she thinks she would be leading me on which I think is totally understandable. Initially she wanted to take it slow, then wanted to hook up but since I’m a virgin I was unsure of going ahead since I think I would catch feelings and get hurt. Then I actually considered hooking up because I was tmi horny. But she decided it was best we didn’t. She also stated she was going to focus on herself so she didn’t want to date for a year. I’ve been using dating apps for four years with the hope of finding a serious relationship but nothing came out of it. Main problems being no...

Hi all I (27F) am dating 34M. He is heavily involved in AA/drug support groups. He’s currently helping a friend who almost OD’d 2 weeks ago. Over the weekend I asked him what he was doing for Valentine’s Day. He responded “nothing” - I asked if he wanted to do anything, his response was no and that we would talk about it later. I didn’t expect this response and felt disrespected. I didn’t want to drop the subject so I harped on the issue and he finally told me why he didn’t want to do anything - apparently the friend he’s helping out is going thru suicidal thoughts from his separation/drugs and he wanted to keep the day open in case the friend needed him. I made a comment telling him I felt as if he’s putting the friend before me - and he lost his shit. We have made up since then. We have been together for 6 months. I don’t want to push the issue and at this point, I have no plans for Valentine’s Day. Am I wrong for pushing the issue? He has cheated on me once - we have resolved t...
