Welp, guess I'm single again. Kinda sucks, but it didn't really seem like we were gonna work out as a couple anyway. Just better off friends.

Man I'm in a tough spot right now. I haven't seen my boyfriend in a year now, it's so hard being long distance. I'm worried about our relationship in the coming year, I'm starting in a huge new school and I would just feel so bad if I fell for someone else and still loved him, but couldn't see him. I don't know if the fear is even rational, but it's there. We're both poly but I wouldn't even know how to approach adding someone to our relationship because I wouldn't be comfortable dating someone without him also dating them and liking them and he's the same way. We've been together so long, we're best friends and I love him with all my heart but I can't help but worry about our future since we're long distance. Any advice is appreciated.

Just scooching in for a little self-splurge here as I'm not in the right headspace to openly speak about this to anyone in person. I've been friends with this lovely person for coming up to a year now, honestly speaking I got attached rather quickly yet I don't think I was aware of just how severely, according to out mutual friends this was the same on his behalf too. A few weeks ago we did end up getting together and no lie I fell extremely hard. Everything had been going pretty well, the odd spat once or twice generally a result of adjusting to having one another in our lives in a different way than before, but otherwise brilliant. We both struggle mental health wise and both have a history of finding it extremely difficult to open up and be vulnerable to other people which looking back possibly should have been something we should have taken into consideration but it's a bit beyond that now. Rather suddenly around a week ago he notably distanced himself from me and avoided all but the bare minimum of conversation with me, unfortunately this coincided with myself having a mental health crash leading me to do some rather rash bad decisions as I was receiving no support from anyone. Following on from this we've sat and had a few conversations and concluded it would be better for us to just stop things, I won't get into any specific reasonings as after all this is a public site but the base reasoning is we both thought we could handle being in a relationship when in reality neither of us could actually do it. I have nothing bad to say about this person or how we came to be in this situation, he's genuinely been brilliant, I just feel awful as I had genuinely been the happiest I've been in a very long time whilst we we're together. We're currently living in the same household with friends and will be continuing to do so for the foreseeable future, I'm not holding out any hope for anything to re-occur in the future as I've always maintained the mindset of expecting nothing from nobody and just seeing what happens in life. At the end of the day I think I just need to reassure myself neither of us did anything wrong, it just wasn't the right time and the way I'm feeling at the moment is perfectly valid and I will be alright.

alrighty i need some advice. heres a little backstory. so about 6 months ago my friends tried to set me up with this girl who they were friends with. long story short, she said it felt a little forced and didn't want to be w me. that was fine, so since then we've just been friends. I never really got over her. fast forward to about a month ago, me and my best friend started hanging out with her a lot. we're gonna call my best friend C, and the girl i like P. so me and C both picked up a vibe from P. she seemed a little jealous when i would talk about other girls. now, fast forward to 2 nights ago. she invited me over to her other friends house (we're gonna call this friend E) and then their other friend came over. (we will call this friend J) so me, P, E, and J were all drinking some very family friendly juice;) and P, E, and J went to the bathroom together at some point in the night. after this, J told me that P said she was trying to flirt with me, but she didn't think i was getting it. this is funny because i was flirting with P and I did not think she was getting it. so we have established that both me and P have no idea how to flirt. neither of us have ever been in a relationship either. after that night, me and P hung out all day together (alone) and it was rlly fun. but basically what im asking is where do i go from here?? i know im going to have to take the lead because shes kinda shy about it. like this girl has not even had her first kiss. but oh my i like her so much. we have so many shared interests and we can literally talk for hours. but anywaysss if u read all of this tysm, and i would rlly appreciate some flirting advice. also i feel like its worth mentioning we r both wlw. thank you!

Oo this sounds fun. I've only been in one real relationship and we were best friends for a full year before I realized our cutesy coupley behavior was her trying to flirt and not just a close friendship...the struggles of wlw pairings lol. So I guess I don't really have advice for subtle flirting but it seems pretty clear you both like eachother so maybe it's time to start thinking about how you want to ask her out. You could blurt it out randomly, write a note, take her somewhere special. It sounds like you have a high probability of success so feel free to go all out

Good luck!!

This is gonna be a very long story. 7 months ago I met this boy online. We both have somewhat strict parents when it comes to online friends, mine more than his. Regardless him and I started dating 4 months ago. I finally decided to tell my parents because him and I had fallen in love fast. We fted and called all the time and were texting constantly. I trusted him and he trusted me. Communication went pretty well, although my mental health and issues with one of my exs could get bad. Once I told my parents they seemed fine with it. I already had one parental app on my phone which controlled the amount of time I could be on my phone and tracked my location. They recently added and app called Bark to watch everything I said. I told him about it and he already had some strong opinions about my parents due to a lot of other controlling stuff they've done. The app saw the nasty stuff he said and we were forced to break up. Every now and then we still talk and he's waiting for me. I'm so confused and hurt right now. Is this normal?

what would be the chance of a boyfriend who will let me "keep" Axel? i seem to be attached to the character to the point I want him to be my boyfriend.

that sounds like a bad thing??? like,,,, that’s such an invasion of privacy and a massive trust breaker for a parent to do that?? that’s such a bad thing for a parent to do. have you ever proven yourself to be “untrustworthy” in your parents eyes or are they just that bad? regardless they?? shouldn’t make you break up over what he said about them? that’s so damn petty.
it’s amazing that he’s waiting for you though, that shows he truly cares about you and i hope that once your an adult, or your parents come to their damn senses, that you two can get back together !!

Hello! I guess I'm here for a bit of advice. Recently a coworker/friend of mine tried setting me up with one of her guy friends. He's unfortunately in another country rn bc he's in the military, but he and I hit it off immediately over facetime and he was facetiming me for long periods of time multiple times for the past few weekends. Talking with him made me really happy and it was the first time that i've ever felt comfortable with a guy i was interested in and felt like i could trust him. It was definitely the type of feeling and relationship that I would want from a guy that I would eventually want to date down the line. At this point, he's gone almost radio silent on me all of a sudden after facetiming for 5 hours last weekend. I have no idea what happened. Now, my advice isn't specifically about this guy in particular, but I guess just in general. Idk why but every time a guy is interested in me (although that already happens few and far between times) and I'm interested back, after a very short period of time I either get ghosted or realize I've just been getting taken advantage of bc people know i'm too nice and extremely easy to walk all over so when they don't feel good about themselves they know I'm a good fit to boost their ego and be kind and gentle with them (or a combination of both! which always feels great! /s). I'm an adult and have never been in a serious relationship and I don't think anyone has ever sincerely liked me or been attracted to me and I just want to know what i'm doing wrong. I know i struggle with my confidence and self-esteem but I've been working very hard on that in therapy recently. I'm definitely not very traditionally "cool" or "pretty", and my interest in animals is probably a lot for most people to handle (aka - i'm a "weird horse girl", and honestly just the weird cow, dog, and several other animal species lady at this point). I just want to figure out what about me tends to be a dealbreaker so that if its something i can work on i can improve myself for the future. obviously i'm not going to give up any of my passions for a man, but it would be nice to know if there's something i could do better with.

I think the other part of the issue is i don't really go out and meet people which my parents and even some friends suggest. even if i did try and go out in the world and meet people, i'm getting my master's degree so around a college town, yeah of course there will be people my age, but there's so many younger students since undergrads likely outweigh the amount of grad and phd students. there's also dating apps but i'm petrified of using them for some reason?? so i'm not really helping myself on that front and maybe i just need to learn to embrace that technology and just give it a try.

thanks in advance to anyone who lends a helping hand and has any advice<33

going on two years with my girlfriend, which means it's also been almost two years since we met in person. covid and money problems have been keeping us apart and it's been very hard. we had plans to visit, but i'm really struggling financially and i had to call it off. i'm just worried that the longer we go not seeing each other physically the more we will drift apart, but that's probably mostly my anxiety. it hurts.
