I (16F) went on a date with my guy friend on the weekend.

I’ve been friends with this guy for a few months. He was in a relationship, so things were platonic. I’ll admit, we texted more than I text some of my other friends, but it wasn’t weird or crossing a line.

A few weeks ago we were at an event and he was more touchy than usual and I was afraid to tell him to stop, so I just let it happen. Nothing bad, but he was sitting rlly close, grabbing my waist for photos and hanging around me pretty much all day. We were in front of all our friends and I guess I was embarrassed to say anything. We then walked out to his girlfriend and my sister talking…

A week later he texted me and asked me to dinner. I said what about your gf and he said they had broken up. I said “sounds fun” and left it at that because I needed to think for a bit.

Fast forward to last weekend and I asked if he wanted to go to the festival together. We went and had a great time.

My sister told her friends all about this and now all of them are calling me a homewrecker. Her best friend saw us at the festival, so it’s coming from all angles. Even my own friends are calling me a homewrecker. I feel insanely bad and am now thinking about breaking it off. I feel like I made a huge mistake and now I don’t know what to do. This is the first time I’ve gone on a date and a guy has been interested in me and I don’t know how to handle any of this.

The other day I was sitting on the couch next to the guy I’m dating (NOT TOUCHING) and when he left my family was like “y’all were sitting close”. They’re not even that strict.

Some of my friends have full on makeout sessions in front of their family, which I would feel insanely uncomfortable about.

I have PTSD from a brain injury and hate being touched. I went on my first date ever this weekend with my guy friend and he's a more touchy person. As much as I wanted to reciprocate, it made me uncomfortable. When he held my hand, my stomach dropped. I've wanted this for a while, but for some reason it made me uncomfortable. I wanted to hold his hand, but I was so stiff and just couldn't relax.

I just started dating my guy friend and my parents are getting suspicious bc we’re spending a lot of 1 on 1 time together. He’s my first bf and idk how to tell my parents

I (16F) and my friend (15M) have been in an extracurricular together for about a year. We started becoming friends and hanging out in February. We always hung out in a group and texted and snapped quite often, but it was strictly platonic.

Fast forward to a few weeks ago, we had a big performance coming up and were spending a lot of time together with our friends. The weekend of the performance, he seemed to be closer (sitting closer, standing closer in photos and making more eye contact). I didn’t lean into it or think about it too much because I was aware he had a gf. When we walked out together after the show, his gf was out there talking to my sister and he went up and talked to my sister first…

A week later, he texted me and asked me to dinner, just the two of us. I said “what about [gf’s name]” and he said that they had broken up the week prior. I just said “yea, it would be fun sometime” and left it at that because I needed some time to think.

We hung out on the weekend and it was a date… we held hands and talked for hours about life, but I didn’t let him kiss me, although I know he wanted to.

I feel bad about his girlfriend because she’s broken up about their breakup. She’s friends with my sister and she’s posting a lot of sad songs and stuff on her social media. She followed me a week or two after they broke up, we don’t know each other personally, just in passing and through mutuals.

My sister and friends called me a homewrecker because they think he left his girlfriend for me and I now really don’t feel right about any of this. Now that I look back, I was a little closer to him than I am with any of my other guy friends, but nothing ever happened.

Yesterday I went on my first date ever with a guy I really like. We did the hand holding thing, but our hands got all sweaty and gross. I feel like I prefer just walking side by side and brushing against each other over holding hands.

We went out on the weekend and it went super well! We talked for hours on the park bench, people watched together and went for a walk. Toward the end he grabbed my hand, we walked around and took photos!

I was diagnosed with Lyme and bart (Lyme 2 years ago and bart 8 months ago). They believe I got it in 2018. I did a long course of antibiotics, tried herbs (they weren’t doing too much for me) and did the infrared saunas.

I have another chronic illness that gives me neck pain and fatigue, so I wasn’t sure if the Lyme was getting better or not, but yesterday I walked an insane amount and today no joint pain!

As the title, says, I’m embarrassed to improvise. Idk how to make stuff sound good. I know my scales and everything, but when I play in front of my band, I choke and can’t come up with anything that sounds semi descent.

I just started dating this guy and I need some advice. My parents aren’t the best to ask because they’re super religious and my sister has never been in a relationship.

It's been 4.5 years since my injury and I went on my first date ever this weekend. I'm in high school, the guy is my age and we met through an extracurricular. We've been friends for a few months and then he asked me out last week. He knows bits and pieces about my injury, but not even close to the full story.

Anyways, we went to a festival and had a good time, but I don't know if I'm ready. It makes me sick to my stomach to think about the fact that I'm going to let another person into my post-concussion syndrome world. I kept losing my train of thought and I was so embarrassed. By the end of the night, I couldn’t look at him anymore because I was so overstimulated. We held hands and even that felt like way too much. It's nothing with him, he's super kind and I didn't feel pressured in any way, but I'm just scared. I don't know what to do.

Me and my guy friend have been getting close lately. Last weekend he texted me and asked if I wanted to get dinner. He told me him and his gf broke up. We didn’t set a date for dinner, but yesterday I saw him at our extracurricular and there was a lot of tension.

We were watching a movie and he came and sat right up against me, thighs, shoulders and hair touching. He was whispering in my ear throughout and every so often I could see him in the corner of my eye just looking at me. He kept saying my name in sentences and touching my back.

He texts me every single day and asks how I am and what I did. He compliments me a lot on my personality, but has never complimented me on my looks.

I think I’m gonna shoot my shot, what do you guys think?

I started to fall for my guy friend, but he was in a relationship. I started to feel like the feelings were mutual because there was this intense tension, but obviously I didn’t do anything about it because he had a gf. Last week he asked if I wanted to get dinner and then he said that they had broken up. We didn’t set a date yet for dinner, but we see each other twice a week at our extracurricular.

Today we were watching a movie at our extracurricular and we were practically cuddling. We were sitting against each other the whole time, legs, shoulders and hair touching and he was whispering in my ear the whole time.

I (16F) have been dating this guy for a bit. This is my first relationship, but not his. He was with another girl that I know for like 5 months.

For some reason, I can’t get the thought out of my head that he had a partner before me. He held her, kissed her, complimented her. I know it sounds really stupid, but it makes me really uncomfortable thinking about that.
