Search Results: liking friend

I've known this guy for 4 years now (since my freshman year, we are seniors now) and we became friends last year and have gotten closer since. I started liking him at the end of last school year. He has had a couple of bad relationships and broke up with his ex last winter. By June last year I decided to text him on ig and we would text here and there. He was sending me major mixed signals so I decided to tell him I like him. He told me that he didn't like anyone at that point and I made sure to let him know that I wanted to be friends

Over summer we texted occasionally, having normal conversation. Then school started back up and ever since he has been treating me different. He has always teased me lots but now it is more so. He also started talking to me more and singling me out in groups (making eye contact and convercing with mainly me). I think he started to catch feelings

We continued to talk and text and at one point he called me randomly, saying he was driving so he could text, we ended up staying on the phone for 2 hours just talking. The next week he called, that time we ended up in the phone for 4 hours and he fell asleep on the call. While we were on the phone I told him about a movie I wanted to see and he asked who I was going to go with, because I told him I don't like going to the movies alone, I said I wasn't sure. He then offered to go with me so a week later I invited him. We made a plan and he even offered to pick me up and drive together. We went had a good time

Ever since he's been super hot and cold with me. He will engage in conversation with me a lot, then next thing I know he's ignoring me. Recently he replied to my story on ig of a picture of me and my friend. He said "you look very nice". Later that week I texted him and he had just lost a wrestling tournament and got injured and was texting super dry. I called him out on it and all he said was "I'm gonna go ahead and ghost" then he did. So major mixed signals. I don't know if he likes me

I've been in a relationship with my man for 6 months
Last night I was bored so I was looking through his follow list
He’s following this girl
He did mention about her being his friend at university

But when I was looking at her photos, I see his name pop up on the likes
So he has been liking every photo of hers

Does this mean he finds her attractive?
He wants to be with her?
Or am I just overthinking it?

Men in my area used to always wear shorts that were well below the knee, with the absolute shortest acceptable length being knee-length. It was kind of an unspoken rule for men to never let shorts go above their knees.

One day though, starting in around 2020 or so, men in my area began suddenly wearing shorts that were well above the knees and showed some thigh. It was a seemingly overnight change. I thought it would be a trend that went away quickly, but it stuck... and not gonna lie, I REALLY don't like it.

Like obviously other people can wear what they want, but I absolutely HATE how it looks. I don't quite know how to describe why, but it makes men look so... naked? It just looks too revealing. I just don't think men's thighs are a feature that need to be shown off. It's like the male equivalent of women wearing butt cheek shorts.

Like the 3 guys in the above photo, I think they would look IMMENSELY better if their shorts at least went to their knees or slightly below. They just kind of look like they're in their boxers, I guess?

That's not the main issue though. You can't even find the longer men's shorts anymore. My male friends told me this when I asked them about the length of men's shorts these days, and I checked the men's section and could confirm. You just couldn't find anything longer than a 9 inch inseam.

And yeah... I'm just really not liking this trend. If I had a boyfriend I'll make sure he never wears shorts that go above his knees... he'll be allowed to wear knee-length or below the knee shorts only! Lol okay no, not really, he can wear whatever he wants, but I'll just verbalize to him that I REALLY don't like it. I don't necessarily want him to change his fashion choices just to please me, but hopefully I incentivize him to at least TRY longer shorts, and/or buy at least a couple.

TL;DR- I'm just absolutely NOT a fan. I don't know, men's thighs are just not particularly attractive to me.
