This is the last time I will ask this, I have been speaking with someone from an app for maybe two weeks. Last week, we spoke on the phone for a few hours. We have been texting & everything seemed to be going fine. There’s a few red flags: he’s eager to meet up & I want to push back because of COVID, he’s already mentioned his plans to want to settle down later on and have a family & he called me pet names earlier in the game but I cut that out real quick. Considering we are only in the talking phase, I was in a beach condo until today for my birthday and the last I heard from him was Monday. He texted me happy birthday Monday morning, I replied in the noon & he left me a voicemail Monday evening. I did not call him back, I haven’t heard from Him since, I see he’s clearly been viewing my IG stories. I’ve been posting & indicated that I am back home in my stories, he views but has not reached out to me personally. Yes, I did not return his missed call but if he was really interested, he would have checked in by now. It’s been 2 days but if you really like someone you’d be a bit more persistent.

So, this is a little crazy, but my boyfriend is 26 and is about 7 years older than me. He has never kissed anyone before and has no relationship experience whatsoever. He's very weird and is extremely socially awkward. He doesn't pick up on the most obvious social clues. I'm no expert either. I've only ever kissed one guy before. Anyways, we've been dating for about a month now, and I'm ready for us to have our first kiss, but I know it will be his first first kiss and I want it to be special for him. I was thinking about just going for it, but if he's not ready to take that step yet, I don't want to rob him of that choice. So I thought about asking him, but I don't know how I should even ask that. Should I ask if I can kiss him or if he will kiss me? Any help, insight, or suggestions are much appreciated.

When I was a teen I thought grown men were way hotter than boys my age and I met a 26 year old man and when I turned 18 he took my virginity.

Now that I’m 26 I’m pretty bothered by it. Someone my age getting with a teen is gross. I didn’t know how naive and vulnerable I was at 18 but he sure did.

I have been talking to a guy for the last 2 years. I have known him my whole life as his mum is friends with my nan. In the last 2 years we have just gone round in circles, and still aren't official despite him being keen to tell me how much he has liked me since we were kids. There is always a different reason when I bring it up and it feels like he is playing me. It was his birthday yesterday and I surprised him with presents and afterwards he said "I want to make it official by Christmas". If he wanted it that back surely he could just ask there and then. Seems like he keeps putting it back and back. He also puts in very little effort until I am showing interest in someone else, then he makes me feel guilty with how "loyal" he is. Just can't wait around like this forever not knowing where I stand but feeling guilty for trying to move on.

I was talking to a guy through a dating app and he was very responsive. It’s only been a few days and I responded Thur morning to his message from the previous night. He didn’t reply until Thur afternoon & then send another message Fri morning. I asked if he wanted to speak on another platform & he said yes. He added me on Snapchat, viewing my stories but hasn’t sent anything since adding me. He sent a snap Fri night & I replied this morning. He left my message on read then replied 3 hours later. Lost cause? Why did he get so distant all of a sudden?

I don’t claim to look like Jennifer Lopez

but I liked a guy from work who acted like he liked me a lot and then kept taking me off his friends list when I tried to add him to my contacts but still viewed my profile over and over again

The thing is this guy is disabled while my alma mater is ranked number 17 in the world

And I said I spent a brief 4 months in graduate school at a top school before getting kicked out

And the other thing was the guy that I perceive to be good looking might be viewed as extremely ugly to others

cause he looks like another guy I used to like and the other guy was rated a 1.5 out of 10 when I posted his photo online / 95% said he was ugly and 5% said personality is more important than looks

maybe he thinks he is both unattractive and disabled and I won’t stay loyal to him if we marry

but to me he is a 9.5 out of 10 - I think he is gorgeous

So my boyfriend is working to complete high school but is naturally struggling. He has ADD which disrupts his focus, but he is highly intelligent in many other areas and has myriad hobbies. We also get along really well. He respects and admires the fact that I have ambitions, and he has never tried to take that away from me. However, his exams are coming up and it isn`t guaranteed that he will pass. Yes, he might work towards actually passing but there is a chance that he might pull back. I just wondered if a relationship between a person who wants to pursue a degree and a person who doesn`t have one can actually work in the long run.

I would. Would You?

So my sister in laws nephew who is 24 has been asking me on a date for the past year. I’ve said no because I think it’s a bit weird even though we’re not related. It could lead to something very complicated if we were to date and break up since his aunt is in my family.
im really attracted to him but very confused, any thoughts?
