I am dating this great guy, I'm Irish/Scottish, and he's black/mixed. Essentially, we both have different kinds of curly hair; mine is curly, his has more texture to it. And we both can't go a day without styling the hair, "taming frizz", etc. I think his hair looks beautiful styled- but I also love it worn naturally. Every time I remind him how much I love his hair, no matter if it's styled or not, he brushes it off. won't entertain the idea of it looking good naturally. I am aware that black hair is held to high standards, has been and still is a feature of discrimination. And it sucks that he feels like his natural texture "has" to be styled or "tamed"

We're both just teenagers, so we don't have a lot of time or money to spend on hair, but any advice in general is appreciated. He is so sweet to me, and I wish he could see what I see

I really. really. Like this guy, he's just wonderful, and yes, if you look at my other posts, you will see I was in crisis because he asked me out, but it turns out im bi, that's another story.

I was sexually abused by my ex. We have been broken up for over a year, and there has been no contact. She was 17, I was 15. This is my first time dating a man, and already I like him so so much more than I ever did my ex. The only issue is the trauma I have; how do I tell him about my past? I don't know if I'll have a panic attack in front of him if we do decide to do anything(I have them from time to time), and I don't want him to feel bad because he is so sweet and gentle. nothing like her.

I don't know. I wish I had never been assaulted, so I could go back to being normal about sex.

Oh boy. ok I have this coworker I've been really good friends with for a good couple of months now, not quite a year, but yk. Anyway, bro was waiting for me to clock out at closing and walked out with me, asking if I wanted to "hang out" outside of work, and I thought, yeah, I would, I'm friends with this guy. Now does he know I date girls? Yeah, I told him abt my ex one time. But does that mean he knows im a lesbian... Apparently not.

He offered to pay for the hangout, and I was like fuckkkkk nope send me ur bank info, split this 50/50. Unfortunately, that all but confirmed if there was a sliver of a doubt (there wasn't)

It's on... my Insta? Like, bro, I posted Pride Month? I have several posts with pride flags. And what's worse; his friends know who I am. They come up to me, one time, this random guy. He's like, "Are you x, y talks abt you" I was a fool. blind. How could I be deceived like this?

Anyway, the date is this weekend. How do I go about avoiding breaking this man's heart? I wanna be friends with him, talk about Star Wars platonically. I just possess the same interests as him, I guess. I don't know how this happened. I don't think I flirted with him. And imagine how weird it could get at work. I am an idiot, I know. Has anyone accidentally done ts before? makes me question things im certain about
