Baking ideas for my bf who loves fall/cinnamon flavors

He LOVES cinnamon rolls but I can’t make them bc of 1 gluten free flour sucks (I live with my parents and my dad has celiacs) and 2 I don’t have a mixer

He loves these coffee cake cinnamon muffins I make so any ideas??

He doesn’t like chocolate baked goods/cookies

What do you guys want from your girlfriends/partners?

Me (18f) and my bf (17m) are coming up on 2 months. He literally does EVERYTHING for me he insists on paying for everything driving me around everywhere and acts of service. He actually dislikes when I tried to give back. I bake and cook for him every week and he appreciates it, but is there any low cost gifts or foods/baked goods that you think would do the trick?

He’s literally so good to me and he has asked me to move in with him when we’re around a year into the relationship and says he’s never been so comfortable with anyone. His mom also said he has never acted this way with anyone so yeah I just want him to know how much I love him and how grateful I am to have him in my life.

Context: im currently job searching, nothing is coming out of that so far and my family and I are living paycheck to paycheck so that is why I am looking for low cost gifts

Do some people genuinely like to give more than to receive sexually?

I’ve been with my boyfriend for a little over a month now, and he says he like to give more than to receive and idk since we both are young adults and have our v cards I js don’t want him to feel uncomfortable and say he enjoys giving instead of receiving.

I’ve offered to do things but he says he wants to make me happy and feel good idk I’m more submissive and he is more dominant so idk if that has an effect on things or not.

I just thought everyone likes to receive at least a little but he says he just wants to give so my question is do people actually prefer to give in most situations?

I js feel bad cuz it feels like all he does is give and al I do is receive and I feel like there should be give and take

I’m terrified of getting too close to my boyfriend

So I (18 f) have been with my bf (17 m) for 4 weeks now and we immediately clicked, we have the same interests, wants, values, taste in music etc and he treats me to well as in pays for everything (doesn’t let me pay even when I’m actively trying to) drives me every where, sacrifices his sleep js to let me yap to him over the phone etc he’s just so sweet. He respects my boundaries and doesn’t push for anything sexual (I’ve never had a guy do ANY of these things for me or not try to push me sexually) when he was driving me home last night he js takes my hand kisses it and says “I love you” and me being an emotional fool I literally started tearing up

Also some context abt me I have asd and am in recovery for an ed he knows all of this and treats me the same and doesn’t pity me or think less of me

Anyway short n sweet he treats me so well and he’s so kind but I’m absolutely horrified of fully letting myself feel idk I js feel like something gonna go wrong and I’ll be heart broken. I know it’s only been 4 weeks and maybe this is me seeing the world through rose colored glasses but I have never felt this way abt anyone. Bc of my asd I feel absolutely overwhelmed by physical touch and feel so drained after being around people but with him I just wanna squeeze him and cuddle with him for hours and i don’t feel drained after being with him if anything I feel more energized. Ik this sounds absolutely absurd but if we keep moving the way we do I could genuinely see a future with him. Bc of my asd I have very strong emotions so when I love I LOVE but it’s a double edged sword bc ik if things go wrong I could cause me to go to a very dark place and possibly relapse in my ed.

What should I do? Should I fully allow myself to feel in the moment with no set expectations of anything that we haven’t already established or should I continue to keep somewhat of a emotional wall up to protect myself if something were to go south? Or something different entirely?? Idk how to navigate this

TLDR my bf treats me so well I’ve never felt this way abt another person and I’m terrified of fully allowing myself to feel in fear of things going wrong

Hi so I’ve (18 f) have been with my bf (17 m) for 4 weeks now and I see him at least twice a week and talk daily. We have gotten very close and care abt each other a lot and honestly if things keeps going the way they do I could honestly see me settling down with him.

On to the task at hand, I go to his house most times and see his family there and we exchange a few kind words but that’s abt it I really wanna make a great impression and be close with them (we are both very family oriented ppl) is there anything I can do?

Some further context I have asd and tend to be quiet, I also love baking/cooking so idk if I should make his family smth, or would that come off as “trying too hard”?

Thx for any advice you give!<3

So I (18 f) and my boyfriend (17 m) have been dating for 3.5 weeks so far and things are going pretty good but we both have not lost our v cards and I don’t wanna jump into hooking up cuz idk when is a “normal” timeline for that.

So far we have js made out and he has done hand stuff to me but my friend told me that since we did that we are already moving too fast (plz tell me if that was too quick for makeout/hand stuff already)

I js don’t wanna jump into things and ruin ts cuz we both really like each other and have the same interests, wants, values and connect so well

Any advice would be awesome tysm

Edit: I was thinking around 2 months ish but idk if that’s even too fast

To make a long story short, I started dating this guy and my parents have an extreme no shut door policy last night he was over and my dad actually ended up smacking the door really loudly while it was shut and jump scaring both me and my boyfriend he was so angry. He literally was about to take the doors off the hinges. I told my mom that this is a crazy rule considering on how I’m 18 and my dad is overreacting and acting like a psychopath. She said it’s her house her rules which I understand but keeping the door open at all times having people check in on me is a little bit crazy in my opinion. I’m just so sick of how childish my dad is acting. I know for a fact, he would not be doing this if I was a boy and him slamming his hand on my door and threatening to take it off the hinges for me simply having it shut for 10 minutes and me and my boyfriend were only talking. It’s not like we’re gonna crack is absolutely crazy.

I also asked my mom if the same policy would carry in to my later adulthood and she said if I had a partner over while I was even in my 30s, the new door policy would still stand

What can I do to get more leeway in this?

Edit: for everybody saying I should move out I feel like I should provide some context I live in the middle of nowhere. The closest thing to my house is a 5 mile walk to a convenient store. I’ve applied at 15 jobs at least in the past month and none of them have gotten back to me and I’m still working on getting my drivers license. I have my permit and I’m hopefully gonna get my license in a few months.
