Posts must:

We are enforcing the two rules listed above by making all titles start with ages/genders in the following format:
[##X][##X], [## X][## X], or [##-X][##-X] where ## is the age and X is the gender (currently M, F, T, A, NB, FTM, MTF but more can be added). You can have more than two ages/genders listed, but you must have at least two at the beginning of your title. Here is an example:
Is this even worth the headache? You are getting played. This is like classic movie theme of cheating bf and sucks at lying but the gf just really trust him for some reason.
yeahhh she’s a really picky eater and didnt even manage to finish her food. i’ll try again and cook to her preferences next time! as someone who just forces down food as a sign of respect to the cooker i didnt really consider that forcing food down would be uncomfortable for her. Thanks for the insight it’s really cheered me up!
I wouldn’t call you the “bad guy” necessarily but you are being very judgmental of your friend.
Your values may have changed but her’s haven’t. If she is being safe and proud of how many guys she’s slept with – It’s her business.
Why is it annoying to you when you admitted you were doing similar things not too long ago?
It’s interesting that when your friend said “she kept touching me” your initial reaction was “i don’t care she’s touching everyone” … did you make sure he wasn’t uncomfortable? If it was a mutual thing between them – it’s between them. Do you have feelings for your guy best friend? Is that why you were annoyed in that moment?
Based on this post – you are judging your friend’s choices – lean into that and think about why it bothers you so much?
When it comes to her touching your friends – I would a million percent approach her about that. It’s her business when it’s randoms but when it comes to your friends – I would feel uncomfortable with her acting like that (especially if that wasn’t the vibe of the party). I get that she is in her hook up era and that’s totally fine but gotta make sure it’s all mutual and everyone is comfortable.
Your bf won't give you the one thing you've always wanted and hoped for in a relationship, despite the fact that it's damn easy, and you're crying yourself to sleep and questioning your worth over it. You've told him as much and he still won't get you some flowers.
He understands how much you want them, he just doesn't care enough about you and your happiness. Do with that information what you will.
Trying to convert a crush to a romantic partner generally fails, and that's true for people much more self-confident than you seem to be.
I'm concerned that if you get a rejection you may not be able to move on from it.
Continue working on yourself to have good self-esteem, a good social life, emotion regulation, and stability. Then dating gets much easier. And I suggest dating girls who aren't your be-all and end-all, just “okay,” at first, so when things go wrong, it's not devastating. (Things will go wrong – because dating, communication, and so on, are skills – people learn by trial-and-error.)
Well, its hot to tell you what you should say because we don't know how you feel about him reaching out…
Also my advice would be on how this played out.
The connection faded in December.
Was it:
Natural & mutual fading out? (it happens) Did he straight up ghost you?
If it was a ghosting by him… I'd say dispose it. Move on.
But a natural fizzle, I would then ask:
What was your initial emotion when seeing his text pop up? Was there a bit of excitement there? Somewhat intrigued he texted?
If intrigued (assuming that means a willingness to reconnect)… This time around, do it differently.
Stop this nonsense:
We never laid out our intentions. I assumed it was casual by the lack of formal dates and affection.
Make sure there is direction and intentions on the table. Stop the assumptions. If you want a quality relationship, you should be dating with some seriousness involved.
Directionless + assumptions only lead to high risk situations.
Anyways, no clue on your overall thoughts about it. You don't even owe a reply if you don't to.
If he is using the air BNB he should be helping pay for it
