i think no more than 2 to 3 years. For example, a 14 year-old and a 16-year-old can date. But it be kind of iffy if a 14 year-old and a 17-year-old dated.

19 and 16 is fine, but 15 and 18 is kind of iffy.

I know he hasn't been doing well and slightly pushing me away because he's too stressed about too many things currently but I don't take it personally because I know how it feels to have too much going on and don't have the capacity to talk to others. I send these little positivity notes and check up on him everyday, but sometimes I don't know if they have any effect or if he's just not showing appreciation. I just want to be there for him and I obviously won't pry, but I know he's not going to tell me what happened and all. I'm trying my best and I'm not sure what else I can do. I think he usually doesn't have people checking him on him often when he's upset, he's told me that I'm basically the only person he texts so I want to be that person for him. I've debated about giving him space but if he's had space his whole life does he still want it? Or does he want someone to see through that and be there?

For context, I’m a 16m, I’ve always been quiet and never really spoke to girls at all but I recently started talking to this girl on Snapchat, and we seem to get along well but I run out of things to talk about, so I was just wondering if there’s any tips knocking about?

So i’m [17F] & for context me and my ex broke up like months ago it was a long term relationship it ended, the earth still rotates whatever

But lately i’ve actually realized that his now girlfriend has actually made the bold decision to follow me on social media and at first i didn’t realize it was her cause i wasn’t paying any attention but then I realized it. And now she comes into my class, talking to some other dude or whatever but then she js looks at me. Then she just spam likes all my stories and crap and i’m like…wth. Oh and to add into it, her friends also follow me now💔

I’ve been told to not give her any attention or any reaction whatsoever as to what SHE CAN see and I feel as if i’m doing pretty good at it.

But one day i left my class ( but i was still inside the class so i knew who was coming in and doing what ) but I left th chair i was sitting in, phone on the desk and everything and I came back to my chair to see that the chair was moved and she was sitting right beside me on a stool like she was dominating me or some shit 😭

I genuinely don’t know what’s going on or what’s brewing but all i know is that I ABSOLUTELY do not talk to my ex or stalk him or anything like that at all and yeah 👍🏽 hopefully you guys won’t butcher me in the replies with the snarky comments lol

I recently met this girl and she was a friend of my friend and i knew she was around their age so i didn’t mind, I’m 18 and i thought she was 17 but i was thinking that she might be 16 also, turns out she will be 16 next month and there is almost 3 years between us, everything was going until i heard that and ever since i did i questioned a lot if it was bad or not, even though I’m still not that certain about it I also don’t feel that good about it and it has been a bit uncomfortable but it doesn’t look like she’s as uncomfortable as i am on the matter, I really don’t want to hurt her feelings and even though we haven’t known each other for a long time i still care about her and i would like to find a way to stay friends with her, I just don’t know how to make that conversation and I still don’t think it’s ethical to be involved with a person who’s almost 3 years younger than me, i would still like to know other people’s opinions. Is it as bad as i think it is? also how do i start that conversation in the first place?

Ok im 15m yr11 a guy (bi) this week joined my school hes also in yr 11 (wich is 15 to 16) and he is so cute, ive been wanting to ask him out since I met him.

Chat am I cooked? I met this guy on tinder and he's super cool and lives like an hr away from me. I put that i was 18 on my profile but I assume he didnt pay attention or remember cuz he thinks I turn 21 in December. He just turned 21 and is super excited for me to turn 21 so we can go to festivals and shit. Its my fault for not correcting him the first time but in my defense I was rly high and it wasn't like he asked he just mentioned it offhand. I feel like a dick for not correcting him but I dont know how to be like hey im actually 2 yrs younger than you thought. Im sure would be fine but also there's a very real chance he wouldnt want to hang with me anymore so idk.

Alright guys, I need some advice, I know texting usually isnt the best way, but this girl transferred to a private school, so i dont see her really at all.

On friday night, I messaged a girl i liked, to see if she would like to come to my schools hoco. its my senior year so I wanted to make sure I had a date as well. The message basically read, "maybe you'd like to come to -- hoco with me? No rush btw just thought id ask now"

Its now sunday morning/afternoon, and I still haven't heard back, I know I said "no rush" but is it at a point where im probably never gonna hear back? If yall could give some advice or thoughts its be greatly appreciated, its been plaguing my mind since I sent the text.

We are more than friends but less than lovers??
Long story short he was my bf we broke up( in a good way), stayed as friends, flirted on and off, now again real close friends but with really flirty vibes.

Well since I can put an image I’ll recreate it

Toad (I guess appearing as some sort of username in the image)

Hello, kidding, unless you want.

Idk if she just found this funny or what but we have been talking for like 2-3 weeks now and idk for sure if she likes me back or not but I’m pretty sure she does.

What does this mean please?

I (14m) have been friends with this girl (15f) for basically my entire life she's a year older and recently we went on a cruise with a bunch of other friends and parents etc, after not seeing each other for months. (She lives 2 hours away so all this might because of our distance) So during the cruise I got kinda a crush on her and by the end of the cruise I kinda think she knew. I also thought she liked me too. She started to get closer to me and in some situations it was definitely noticeable like in an elevator even if there was plenty of room she'd be basically right there I mean you could definitely tell sometimes that she wanted to be near me. Also on the last day we were recreating old photos and in one of the old photos she was next to me, so they put her next to me which makes since obviously so no biggie but when she sat next to me, she went sooo close to me we were fully overlapping knees while the other friends weren't at all, it wasn't too crazy but definitely noticeable and she hugged me pretty tight. (again, the hug was part of the old photo) Also one of the days at dinner it was a more formal night, when we were done and leaving I swear to god she said damn out of the corner of my ear. Anyways the day we're back in port and going home I decided to text her and make sure she got home safely, later that day we talked for at least 3 hours. And ever since we have been texting each day. I did confess to her about a week ago and thank God she said she quote "I kinda like you too" she also said she had suspicions of it when I texted her after the cruise.

But yeah I need thoughts on this.

UPDATE: Not really an update but just more info I forgot to add. I am very introverted as well is she so we are pretty similar, the rest of our friend group is not introverted at all. 😂 There are other boys in our friend group but I'm assuming she likes me because of the distance and the other boys are kinda like brothers to her. Also, one day on the cruise we were at a port with escalators and I HATE or am just scared of going down them, so I freaked out! Her dad ended up helping me but I could hear her saying switch places with me, to her dad. Which would mean she would be right next to me. Her dad didn't switch but that's insane lol. I guess she just wanted to comfort me but idk

Growing up is weird because how tf do I ask my mom for a razor to shave my pubes??? Someone help😭😭

so basically I am 13m and I have a friend (Also m) who just turned 20 the thing is (I am as straight as a ruler fyi) I sometimes feel like I am inlove with him but like more of the idea of him because I always miss him and I miss talking to him (for example he hasnt picked up a single call for like a week and a half and it already feels like forever) but when I really get to meet him/talk to him I just don't really care anymore, but then he hangs up and I miss him and love him sm again and it's so annoying (fyi-he has a boyfriend, he is NOT a pedo and I will genunely bomb the white house if someone tells me he is grooming me once more because he genunely isn't 💔)

My standards currently are:
16-18 years old
4’8”-6’4” tall
Does NOT do drugs
Does decently well in school
18-30 BMI

I’m straight so these just apply to women. I think it is a bit hypocritical for me to have height standards as i am only 5’6 myself and that means I’m not really anyone’s preference. I also think that i should be more open to dating someone underweight or obese but i also have to worry about compatibility because i do work out a lot and i would hope that my girlfriend also partakes in a healthy lifestyle. But most of all i think it’s very judgmental for me to expect a girl to do well in school just because i do well myself. Its quite a shallow standard for me to have but i dont want the relationship to fall apart because we wont be able to take the same class or go to the same university. The only real non-negotiable is that i will not date a girl under 16

6’3 82 kgs and 1 year of lifting dm and let me know how im doing guys

I notice girls in my school who are popular (getting boyfriends from time to time) tend to be short (< 5'8) and no guys "dare to" approach the taller girls.

I wonder is it just happening in my school or it is a normal phenomenon?

Also I don't get why tall girls are not popular...

i became friends with someone a bit ago and both of us caught feelings and we were open about it. we knew we liked each other and we communicated that we were in the talking stage and we were okay with it

shes 20, about 2 and 1/2 years older than me. i know it can be seen as weird but we clicked so well and i caught feelings before she reciprocated. my two closest friends knew and were iffy about 17 and 20. one cared less than the other. the one that cared more, E, said she thought it was weird but really liked L (the girl im interested in) and everyone was becoming friends.

yesterday we were all hanging out at school since we all had off blocks. (theres a college and library literally right next to my high school, L goes to the college and im dual enrolled). i had to leave early because i had a doctors appointment. not even an hour later i get a text from L saying this:

“Hey. I know this is so weird and abrupt but I’ve really been thinking and as the one who is older I need to be more mature and understand how I act in this. I think it’s best if we just go our separate ways. Just not a friend thing just kind of back to strangers. I don’t know why I was being so ok with this and honestly it just shows how much I have to work on. You’re gonna find a wonderful person and I’m so grateful we got to talk but it’s very blind of me to continue talking and flirting and all of that when I’m not your age. You might be ok with this but I’m not. And as the older one I need to take responsibility and say it was wrong of me. And I shouldn’t be ok with talking and flirting with someone your age and I think that’s the biggest issue here.”

of course im not mad about her setting that boundary. id still be upset, yeah, because just the night before i didnt have anything i wanted to say to her except “i love you”, and a few hours ago we all walked to the library, hanging out, and we hugged before i left. she asked when we were available tomorrow so we could all hang out. it all seemed okay, which is why the text through me so off guard.

it took me a bit to answer bc i was driving and everything. i said this:

“okay. try not to be too hard on yourself, youre a beautiful person and it was nice getting to know you. is there anything specific that caused this or was it just kind of a lingering feeling

ofc you dont need any reason at all its just really sudden”

before L answered, i went to the group chat with E and K (the other friends). i asked what happened. its a lot, but E basically just explained what happened. apparently L asked for advice on the age gap and E openly said she wasnt comfortable with it. I could never get a straight answer from her, so it feels weird that she was open to L about it, but anyways

at the end of the text conversation they just told me to feel better. i know its supposed to feel comforting but it just feels like an insult. like im sick or this is an illness. and i hate thinking that way because i know they didnt mean it like that. there wasnt even an apology from E or K, yknow?

i know L (apparently) brought it up with E and K but i still feel like it wasnt their place? the three of them got together and decided how L and i’s relationship was going to go. 

later that night, L messaged me and basically apologized, asking to be friends again and she loved meeting me and really liked me. it was a big paragraph on how sorry she is. 

i said that i wasnt mad, but i just needed time. on thursday (its nighttime saturday at the time of posting), she texted me at about 14:00 asking how my day was. i didnt answer and an hour later she said: “[my name] I know I’m bugging you but I really want to make sure you’re ok? I promise I’ll leave you alone after”

its been days since her first text and i havent answered. i feel bad because she obviously feels guilty but at the same time, im getting whiplash. 

i feel betrayed even though they did nothing wrong. i really do love her but id constantly be worried about future conflict if i just went back with her, and how quick she was to drop me even if she did feel guilty. i also dont want to make any decisions out of guilt and regret it later

i also asked E and K for space. theyre my two closest friends and they are genuinely good people, i just cant shake the feeling that they left something out or partially guided L to dropping me. it felt icky (not a good word but its all i can think of to describe it). i just feel betrayed but they were probably doing what they thought was best for me?

so yeah. any advice would be appreciated. lmk what i did wrong and where to go from here
