Search Results: casual relationships

Be honest. And anonymous if you want. Explaining your relationship/opinion would be nice too. Maybe they were an old flame, maybe you're unhappy with your current significant other, maybe it's exciting, maybe it's "just" casual sex, maybe the thought of betraying them hurts you, maybe you trust and love them too much to cheat with an ex, maybe you think it's too immoral, maybe you hate your ex and would never etc etc.

There are 2 women with whom I can have a potential relationship. They both like me and I both like them to a different grade each.

Woman 1: she has been in many long term relationships in the past and possibly had some casual sex. I deeply love her.

Woman 2: she has never been in a relationship in her life. She had, however, lots of casual sex. I like her very much, but I don't have any deep feelings for her

About Me: I 've been in 2 mid-term relationships and I've also had 3 additional sexual partners. I feel more secure with the Woman #2, because she has no relationship experience and it is something she would explore with me. However, I love Woman #1, but I'm afraid she will judge my inexperience because she has WAY MORE experience in sex and relationships than I do. Somehow, I'm afraid that I could not be at the level she might require, both sexually and emotionally.

He comforts you when you struggle- most recently with the loss of a family member, flying to a different state to care for your nephews. You talk and hang out often, sometimes at each others' places.

You feel safe around him and trust him with your life.

He recently started dating a girl. He's even introduced you to her. You immediately become jealous and insecure. You call and text your "friend" more often, telling him you "think of him". You buy him things that you know he likes. You drop subtle criticisms about his girlfriend. You invite him over for dinner one evening. He feels something is "off" but you say everything is "fine". Your conversations seem normal and casual. He continues talking about his girlfriend and being excited to meet her family. You're confused. You don't know if you really love him or not.

You can't take it anymore and decide to ghost him. Cold turkey. No contact. Your friend is obviously confused and worried. After a month of ignoring him, he comes to your apartment door. He knocks but you don't answer. It's pouring rain outside. He has keys to your place but he doesn't come inside. He sits down with his back against the door and begins talking as if you're there. He says he loves you; that he always has. He observes you're hurting and he says he's a bad friend for hurting you, but he doesn't know why. He says he will walk out of your life if means you'll be happier, but he at least wanted to say goodbye. He stops talking. You...
