never been in love but want it so bad

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.

love

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.

Why are you still here?

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.

Keeping the conversation flowing/meeting up with a girl I'm interested in with the pandemic going on.

I'll give some context, I matched with a girl pre-lockdown and we've been talking for a few weeks on and off. We're both still working so we weren't messaging all the time. A few days ago I asked for her number, we started texting each other a lot more and the conversation is really flowing. It's pretty bad timing, this girl seems nice and I'm interested in seeing her. Unfortunately there's no chance of a date anytime soon but I don't want the conversation to go stale and either of us to lose interest before we properly meet. Here in the UK, we're allowed to meet with one person outside our household and maintain a 2 meter distance. Would it be strange of me to suggest meeting up, even so we can see each other, have a proper chat and go for a walk maybe? Or does anyone have any other advice?

Date ideas in a post-quarantine world still during corona pandemic?

Gatherings are allowed in many places now or will be in the coming months. But large gatherings like bars, sports games, concerts, etc won't be options due to corona. During quarantine there were threads about ideas: ie FaceTime, Netflix party, etc. But what about now? Park/picnic/Netflix n chill ... What else?

How to stop overthinking everything (21M)

Hello reddit. Im a 21 year old guy who's first relationship was about 3 years ago and was Very quick and Very toxic (She'd talk about how im perfect one minute to sending self harm pics the next, BPD and Schizophrenia are a fun combo) and ever since then ive had pretty bad Confidence/ Self esteem issues. Jump to now and ive been talking with this girl i met on Tinder for about a week but sometimes she takes a few hours to respond (She responds well, not one word answers and we've had a few really nice conversations, although its a lot of talking about our pets), which makes me start digging a mental ditch about how i must've screwed up. how do I tell my brain to shut the hell up and not think like this? I like talking to her, shes super nice and very cute but my brain keeps telling me "You're Ugly, You're Disgusting, I'm Gonna Kill You, Give Me $200" This is my first attempt at talking to someone since my first relationship. Sorry if this is ver...

Help a girl out

Tell me it’s considered cheating if your boyfriend goes behind your back to flirt with some girl, give her compliments and even went out of his way to lie to her about why he hadn’t talked to her in a while. I have no idea how long they had talked before this, I only saw the messages of him lying to her about being gone and telling her how gorgeous he thinks she is (with hearts.) I confronted him but no matter what, he says it’s not cheating. I know for a fact if it was the other way around I’d have gotten the boot the second he found out. So why am I questioning it just because he’s saying it’s not cheating??
