My boyfriend and I haven’t been dating for all that long. 6 months now. And a big issue I have with him is that he just doesn’t understand how to respond to flirting or anything sexual.

I will send him something sexy or start flirting with him and the responses (if I get one) are “oh”, “oh my”, or the latest “neat”. Honestly it’s fucking killing me. It’s started to make me really insecure. If it was a from the start he was bad at it thing then maybe it wouldn’t hit me as hard, but after we started dating and got out of the talking stage he suddenly just got so much worse at responding to these things.

He also used to tell me when he was horny but that’s also just completely stopped.

I’ve asked him why he responds like that and he just tells me he doesn’t know what to say. He told me he’d try to get better at responding but he’s not at all. I’d even find it charming if he awkwardly responded but giving me nothing is just making me feel unwanted.

What do I do?

I think it was my sophomore year. There was this girl who brought a full thing of liquor to school and was taking swigs off of it in the middle of the hallway. If it was just her I would’ve ignored it, but she started offering it to other kids passing. Even some of my friends.

I wasn’t a super prudish kid, if people drank outside of school I didnt care. But I think because she was doing it so openly around my friends and offering it to the even younger ones I ended up getting upset.

I told the principal and she ended up getting caught pulling it out of her bag in math class and drinking it. She ended up getting suspended. But worse than that she literally just never came back to school.

I still feel bad. I think I ruined her life, at least for a while. I hope she’s doing better now.
