Search Results: will he ask me out

So, recently talking to my bestie, she and I realized how both our boyfriends tend to lack empathy.

My boyfriend is so stubborn that he isn't wiling to yield on certain things, or, even consider that he could be in the wrong. It has resulted in fights between us, ending with him being confused. I ask him questions like "if you were in my shoes, and I said that to you, how would that make you feel?"... and he then will come to realization, and apologize, or at least meet me halfway.

Do you think its possible to make someone more empathetic?

I've met this guy 2 months ago at an extracurricular activity and immediately thought he was cute and I had the vibe that he liked me too, he even asked for my ig. Around 2 days after that, I couldn't stop thinking about him so I sent the scary first text and that's when we started texting constantly, he asked me "out" but didn't say it was a date explicitly, we had a lot of fun and saw each other 2 days after that, and so on. He initiates physical touch like back patting or holding my hand for a second etc, he gives me flowers, we talk about deep stuff sometimes until dawn, and overall I'm completely sure we like each back. However, even though he always has fun on our dates, I have to initiate them almost all the time. It's like he avoids telling me the exact day he will be free so I always have to suggest it. I'm feeling really uncertain about this whole situation and want to let him know how I feel because I'm a 100% sure he feels the same way but he's either scared of rejection, or scared of getting hurt in a future relationship. What do you think I should do?

So, lately I’ve been thinking about starting a club at school. I want to name it “R. O. L. E. S.” as in everyone has or plays a role in someone else’s life. It stands for “Roles Of Love, Empathy, and Service”.

The premise is that we do acts of service and kindness for communities that really need that love or extra support. It will also be a way for students to gain community service hours.

Yes, I want to build a strong community within the club, but I also want everyone to feel like they don’t have to interact with other people they don’t know ALL of the time. I want to be able to provide activities that don’t need people to interact with other people directly and have them still get community service/activism hours for it.

My vision is that there’ll be different layers to it, or two different groups working on projects. What I want to do is: have people who don’t want to interact with others (like at fairs or other school events) do all of the background or set up work. Those who don’t mind taking to others can sign up to speak with others. Anyone is open and welcomed to do both or just one. This way, everyone can participate in any way they’d like, get hours, and feel comfortable doing it.

I’m posting this to ask if anyone thinks it’s a good idea to do this. I’m not sure if there’s a club similar to this in my school, so it’s definitely just an idea for now.

Also, if it does happen to be a good idea, does anyone have any ideas as to which programs/communities we could reach out to in order to help?

I want to do acts of kindness in this club. For example, we could have a day where we hand out roses to people whose names got written down by a friend who asked us to give it to that person. Maybe, we could write cards to the elderly. We could also help suicide prevention hotlines (though I don’t know we’d get to that point of permission).

If anyone has ANY ideas for as to what we could do, please let me know.

I’m open to any feedback. Thank you for reading.
