Hii! I’m 18 and looking for girls around my age (17–19) who go to Invictus Gym in D-12 and are also looking to make a new friend!
It doesn’t have to be like actual workout sessions together 😭. We can just motivate each other to go, get our steps in, do some cardio, follow our own routines, or just hang out at the gym. Whether your goal is losing weight, getting more active, or simply building a routine, I’m down!
And outside the gym, I’d love to actually be friends too going on walks, getting food, studying at cafés, hanging out, whatever you’re into. If that sounds like your vibe, I’d genuinely love to converse with you and talk about our hobbies and become friends online before deciding to meet in real life, I can also drive and can pick and drop you from ur house to gym or hangouts if you live in D12. Dm if you’re interested!

I (20F) met my ex/ex-best friend “A” (19M) on Roblox when we were 12 and 11. We exchanged Discords, dated for a few months, then decided we were better as friends. We became really close, started dating again, broke up, went no-contact, reconnected, and basically repeated that cycle for years. He lives in America, I live in Pakistan, but somehow we always found our way back to each other.
In late 2023, when we were older and more mature, we started dating officially again as an actual couple instead of just a teenage online relationship. We started using WhatsApp, calling each other all the time, sleeping on call sometimes, sharing locations, and genuinely became part of each other’s everyday lives. It felt more serious and real than it ever had before.
Then my father was in the hospital dying, and I told him I needed a break because I was overwhelmed. He took that as a breakup. He begged me to stay, but I still left because I needed space, even though I loved him and needed him too.
What still hurts me is that during one of the most critical stages of my dad being on his deathbed, I went back to him and asked him to just be there for me emotionally, and he wasn’t. I think that’s one of the things I’ve never fully gotten over. At the same time, I know our relationship had become exhausting and unhealthy for both of us.
About six months later, he asked if we could just be friends again. I said no because I felt like we’d eventually date again and repeat the same cycle. After that we stopped talking. He moved on, got a girlfriend, and honestly I was happy for him.
Now I finally got my visa for the USA, and I keep thinking about him. When we were kids, we used to talk about how one day he’d show me around America, take me to movies, and we’d finally meet in person. I still want that not romantically, just as friends. Before all the dating drama, we genuinely were best friends.
The thing is, I think he recently broke up with his girlfriend, so I don’t want to text him at the wrong time or come across as desperate. But I also don’t want to regret never reaching out. I’m willing to leave the past in the past because despite everything, he was a huge part of my life.

So should I text him or just leave it alone?
