There is this girl in my class. Lets call her G. G allways brags about not wanting /not in a relationship by choice, but i think shes into me. For context i liked her last year then she “ghosted” me and i stopped liking her now this years she is in my class and she: sits next to me, disobeying the class map just to sit next to me; i hang out with some friends that are girls and shes starting to want to hang around them too; when i “taunt” her by say like “hey G go back to your seat” just to taunt really he hits me but like a “friendly” and kinda blushing way; she literally called me a puppy today im not even kidding & she already spayed me THRICE with her vanilla perfume as a “punishment” for taunting her. Please im horrible at taking hints

Alright so essentially this week a new transfer student was in my English class and immediately just from her vibe and everything about her she is absolutely beautiful and seems very shy so the next day i decided to break the ice and say hey i know you’re new but i’m (name) and i would love to be friends and be able to help you around and she immediately gave me a fist bump and kinda smiled and we talked and she said hope to see you tomorrow! And then today she was walking behind me and my friends for like 10 minutes probably trying to listen in on our conversations idk and then 5 minutes later comes around the corner started smiling instantly and waved and me and kinda blushing when i waved back but unsure, is this a good start?

Relationship Is it wrong to talk to a 16 yr old Sophmore as a 17yr old Senior?

4 Upvotes

ok so the title was a lot but basically my friend is setting me up with this guy, let’s call him P. We r both interested in each other, but what’s stopping me is his grade. I, (17F), am a senior in high school, while P is (16M), and he’s a sophomore. Idk what to do, I don’t want my friends to look down on me for dating a sophomore, even if he’s close in age with me.

also idk if this matters but both our birthdays r in September

pls help!!

Relationship am i (f17) being paranoid over a guy (m17)?

1 Upvotes

a guy from my high school (we’re both juniors) asked me for my number at lunch a few days ago. this never happened to me before and i kind of panicked and said i don’t have a number but i have an instagram (ik it’s stupid i feel super embarrassed). he later dmed me and asked me to hang out the next day around 7. i told him i was busy but maybe i can at a different day, and we’ve exchanged casual texts back and forth.

i thought it was going too fast and i don’t know if this is normal. im scared that it might be a joke. we’re in the same class but we’ve never talked to each other.

tl;dr do people usually ask for someone’s number and then ask to hang out the next day even if they’ve never talked to each other?

Discussion What am I feeling?

3 Upvotes

I’m just kind of confused as to what this feeling is, it’s definitely not explicitly jealousy but I can’t pick a word for it either. I’ve noticed it more recently because one of my friends (who yes, I admittedly have feelings for), kept saying all through August and September that they’d match profile pictures with me next time they change it but every time they kept changing it to be matching with another friend. I by no means am rude to this friend, I too am friends with them. But I hate this kind of feeling and want it to stop. I also don’t want to bring my feeling up with the friend I like as I have a few times and also subtly hinted towards that it hurt me.

Can anyone help me name this feeling and if possible give me advice on what to do regarding the situation with both my friends.

This sounds stupid and childish but hear me out okay😭😭😭

I got a friend for quite a while now and i think i like him.
But the last time i checked he was in love with his ex (few months ago at least, now he denies that he still likes her). They are still friends. Really close.

But his ex hates me since long before i even knew him, so I don’t like her. Shes very pretty and cool tho i see why he liked or likes her but she treated me like trash so….ofc I don’t like her.

But yeah, they are still friends in the end of the day. And when i had told him about yet another recent fight w with his ex, he was like “man wtf, yk i wont pick a side chill”
Defended her even. He gets really mad when i bring her up. She doesn’t even treat him right. Leads him on despite not being interested, knowing he likes her a lot.

That was months ago. I think i still like him. He was really close i thought i was special but hes suddenly acting all distant now. I thought maybeeee he liked me?

i don’t think so anymore…yeah.
Cant date anyone who is friends with his ex he was in love with two months ago anyway. I gotta get over it i suppose.

Soo yeah i donno how to move on. We hang in gc every night w our mutual friends. We hella chill.

AUSHGDHAJSHW WHAT DO I DO NOW BRO AAHHSHSUAW before u call me childish i literally am a child. Also very stressed about school and some stuff going on please be kind imma cry ahahah

What are acceptable teenage age gaps? At what point would the age be problematic?

22 Upvotes

i think no more than 2 to 3 years. For example, a 14 year-old and a 16-year-old can date. But it be kind of iffy if a 14 year-old and a 17-year-old dated.

19 and 16 is fine, but 15 and 18 is kind of iffy.

Relationship She got the guy so why is she still doing this?

17 Upvotes

So i’m [17F] & for context me and my ex broke up like months ago it was a long term relationship it ended, the earth still rotates whatever

But lately i’ve actually realized that his now girlfriend has actually made the bold decision to follow me on social media and at first i didn’t realize it was her cause i wasn’t paying any attention but then I realized it. And now she comes into my class, talking to some other dude or whatever but then she js looks at me. Then she just spam likes all my stories and crap and i’m like…wth. Oh and to add into it, her friends also follow me now💔

I’ve been told to not give her any attention or any reaction whatsoever as to what SHE CAN see and I feel as if i’m doing pretty good at it.

But one day i left my class ( but i was still inside the class so i knew who was coming in and doing what ) but I left th chair i was sitting in, phone on the desk and everything and I came back to my chair to see that the chair was moved and she was sitting right beside me on a stool like she was dominating me or some shit 😭

I genuinely don’t know what’s going on or what’s brewing but all i know is that I ABSOLUTELY do not talk to my ex or stalk him or anything like that at all and yeah 👍🏽 hopefully you guys won’t butcher me in the replies with the snarky comments lol

how do i tell a person i’m talking to that i’m uncomfortable with the age gap between us?

10 Upvotes

I recently met this girl and she was a friend of my friend and i knew she was around their age so i didn’t mind, I’m 18 and i thought she was 17 but i was thinking that she might be 16 also, turns out she will be 16 next month and there is almost 3 years between us, everything was going until i heard that and ever since i did i questioned a lot if it was bad or not, even though I’m still not that certain about it I also don’t feel that good about it and it has been a bit uncomfortable but it doesn’t look like she’s as uncomfortable as i am on the matter, I really don’t want to hurt her feelings and even though we haven’t known each other for a long time i still care about her and i would like to find a way to stay friends with her, I just don’t know how to make that conversation and I still don’t think it’s ethical to be involved with a person who’s almost 3 years younger than me, i would still like to know other people’s opinions. Is it as bad as i think it is? also how do i start that conversation in the first place?

12 Upvotes

Chat am I cooked? I met this guy on tinder and he's super cool and lives like an hr away from me. I put that i was 18 on my profile but I assume he didnt pay attention or remember cuz he thinks I turn 21 in December. He just turned 21 and is super excited for me to turn 21 so we can go to festivals and shit. Its my fault for not correcting him the first time but in my defense I was rly high and it wasn't like he asked he just mentioned it offhand. I feel like a dick for not correcting him but I dont know how to be like hey im actually 2 yrs younger than you thought. Im sure would be fine but also there's a very real chance he wouldnt want to hang with me anymore so idk.

Alright guys, I need some advice, I know texting usually isnt the best way, but this girl transferred to a private school, so i dont see her really at all.

On friday night, I messaged a girl i liked, to see if she would like to come to my schools hoco. its my senior year so I wanted to make sure I had a date as well. The message basically read, "maybe you'd like to come to -- hoco with me? No rush btw just thought id ask now"

Its now sunday morning/afternoon, and I still haven't heard back, I know I said "no rush" but is it at a point where im probably never gonna hear back? If yall could give some advice or thoughts its be greatly appreciated, its been plaguing my mind since I sent the text.
