[normystical]

i need help with this.

so, me and my fwb. i'm aro, he's double allo. he's in love with me. i've tried reciprocating, but i just can't. recently, every so often, when we text each other raunchy things, he'll kinda go into a rant about how much he loves me romantically, it gets a lil awkward for me. this time around, we got into it and he just seems to really want to date me. i feel so bad. but it feels more natural calling him my friend than my boyfriend, i've tried it before. it's really nothing though, right? just a label on top of what we already do, right? so why doesn't it feel right? and will he ever fall out of love with me if i DO date him? cuz i really fucking hope he falls out of love with me someday. he has to. anyway, should i date him or not? i feel so bad, he seems so upset about it. idk what to do.

Guys I need your advice.

Okay so a while ago you may remember I posted saying my crush slid into my dms 😆 well its been going pretty well and while there are no set plans there has been talk of me going to visit him for a weekend (eeek)

Now, we met back in my hometown which is where he used to live too but he since moved a couple hours away. And so any ‘first dates’ would involve travelling to each other and most likely me to him. Which honestly is kinda freaking me out a bit because i’m used to coffee dates and travelling to see someone for a first date seems huge because what if it goes horribly wrong???

Essentially I just wanna know what you guys would do? Would you go? Would you not? What would you do if you did or didn’t? Am i overthinking this? 😂 please let me know either by commenting or sliding into my anon box because ya girl needs it… and i might have an update for a fic in return….

Reddit wasn’t much help, so maybe you sweethearts can give me some real advice.

So here’s the deal: I’m really into chubby girls — soft, curvy, that kind of beauty. Not exactly rare, right? But for some reason, I literally don’t see chubby girls anywhere. Like, at all. Is this just bad luck? Or am I just being clueless somewhere along the way?

Not in my city, not online (and I’m not counting porn, obviously), not even in Russian Telegram dating chats like Vinchik or Ashka — basically Russian communities. Vinchik’s kinda dead, and Ashka’s just full of tiny 40kg girls. I’m not judging, just… not what I’m looking for.

I even tried Reddit, thinking maybe someone had a clue — but most posts just sank with no replies, or I got the classic “go look on the internet” kind of answers. Not hating, just didn’t get anything useful. So now I’m here, hoping maybe someone real will actually get what I mean.

And to be clear — I don’t have anything against skinny girls. I’ve got slim friends, they’re awesome. But starting a relationship with someone I’m not truly into feels like I’d be lying to both of us.

Yeah, maybe I’m a bit selective when it comes to appearance — we all have preferences. But I also know my own look has to work for my partner too. That’s fair. I’m tall, but I’m also a big guy — not just “dad bod,” more like “I can carry three grocery bags on one arm” big.

I’ve met girls who totally fit what I like — soft, curvy, fun — but turns out I wasn’t their type. Ironically, slim girls always liked me more. Maybe I come off safe? Or it’s the opposites thing? Either way, it’s never quite lined up romantically.

A friend said I should try Saint Petersburg — apparently it’s full of girls I’d vibe with. Which sounds awesome, but I’m not working right now and moving cities just to maybe meet someone feels like a fever dream.

Thing is, I’m not shy. I talk to people easily, I’m chill, open, not socially anxious. But finding someone to really connect with? That’s been a dead end so far. And I don’t think I’m a terrible guy — I try to be decent and kind. I hope that counts for something.

So… what would you suggest? I’ve never believed you can “hunt down” a relationship — I always thought it happens when two people just click. But waiting around clearly isn’t working either.

PS: I used ChatGPT to help translate my thoughts from Russian, just to make it smoother. If anything sounds weird or off, that’s the AI being a little too polished — not me. I just wanted to be clear and honest.

Time to talk about something genuine. I’ve made a couple of Sad Time Loneliness Vortex™️ posts before, and instead of making another one, I had a different idea for processing the Bad Emotions.

Instead of screeching out into the digital void, this time I wanted to ask a question:

How many times have you had a good experience with dating apps?

I’ve gotten to the point where my social anxiety and fear of rejection keeps me from doing anything productive in terms of trying to start a romantic relationship, and my streak of people I’m attracted to hasn’t worked out in my favor yet (see one of my previous Sad Time Loneliness Vortex™️ for context), so genuinely I can’t help but think that trying dating apps where I’m forced into the maelstrom of interaction is my only option. I know dating apps can kind of have a bad rep, but I feel like I’m running out of options!!!

Any and all advice would be appreciated, I know it’s kinda silly to ask this, but it’s gotten to the point where I’d prefer not to have nightly emotional turmoil :D!!!

Is it too much to ask that people don't police other people's relationships?

Just the other day, my sister and father were judging me because I didn't ask my girlfriend about the weather down where she is at (we are currently long-distance).

And then my sister said about me being awful at conversation, to which I argued "I am not terrible at conversations just because I didn't talk about the one specific topic you thought I was supposed to."

And then she had the nerve to say, "I would have thought you would have cared about your girlfriend's safety."

I do! If she wasn't safe, she would have told me. We talked about other things. Because it's our relationship and we talk about things we want to talk about with each other. Sorry I forgot the societal norm of asking about the weather.

So, yay! I got to spend the whole day feeling like an awful partner.

Please stop policing what a "normal" relationship looks like. What matters is that it is healthy, not if it is "normal."

(Sorry, I'm still kinda upset over this and kind of anxious)

Tim and Jason were munching on Batburgers mid-patrol. Entirely out of the blue Tim says: By the way, I'm bi.

Jason pauses, then swallows his burger: Uh, okay?

Tim: I just wanted to tell you. In case, you know, you think no one would accept you.

Jason: ...Huh??

Tim: Yeah, there's a reason why I brought this up. What I'm trying to tell you is that B told me to tell you that you can bring your boyfriend over for dinner whenever you want.

Jason just stares at Tim, wondering if he's experiencing a fever dream because what??

Jason: What boyfriend??

As far as he knows, there is no boyfriend. Why does Bruce think there is a boyfriend??

Tim being understanding but for a completely different context: It's okay, Hood. I'll tell him you said no. No need to deny it.

Jason continues to be baffled: Thanks. But I don't have a boyfriend.

Tim does not believe him: Sure, sure. So, when's the next time Arsenal plans to visit Gotham?

Jason goes back to eating his burger and pretending he's not totally confused by the change in topic: Uh, this Thursday. I'm gonna help him with Lian's birthday cake, and brainstorm gift ideas.

Tim: Uh-huh. Hope you have guys have fun :)

This advice is meant for anyone and everyone no matter your identity, sexuality, etc.

That being said please note this is coming from my experience as a white afab genderfluid pagan bisexual, so there may be nuances in dating in communities I am not a part of that I am not aware of (always willing to learn and listen though!)

Get Him HOOKED On The First Date With These 12 EFFECTIVE Tips

Get Him HOOKED On The First Date With These 12 EFFECTIVE Tips…

[morganbritton132]

Need a fic where Dustin goes into Hellfire real strong about Steve Harrington being his best friend and no one believes him. So he tries to prove it but Steve is just not working with him.

Like, he’s goes, “No, seriously. We’re best friends. Practically brothers. He’s going to pick me up today, just you see.”

But then Keith got sick so Steve’s stuck at work until closing so Claudia picks him up. She waved at him from the driver’s seat and Eddie is just like, “That you Steve Harrington or am I dreaming?”

“Ew, don’t say that.”

Eddie drives the boys to a game shop the next town over and on the way back, Dustin gets Eddie to stop in Loch Nora. He’ll prove that Steve is his friend.

But Steve isn’t home when they knock on his door and Steve’s dad doesn’t know who Dustin is (they’ve met three times). Dustin is just like, “Son of a bitch, thanks for nothing.”

Dustin decides he’s going to prove himself once and for all because the Hellfire boys keep giving him pitying looks. He invites Eddie over for dinner and then calls Steve like, “After work, be here.”

Except the reception was shitty so Steve heard “Ben-Hur” and just dropped the movie off with Claudia. He went home and never showed up for dinner. Dustin asked his mom to tell Eddie that he’s friends with Steve. She does but it sounds like a lie.

So he goes to the source.

He drags Eddie into Family Videos and tells Steve to tell him that they’re friend, but…Steve doesn’t. He blatantly ignores him. He helps customers. He types on the computer. He doesn’t acknowledge Dustin at all until finally, Dustin asks, “Is this about the tape?”

“Yes, it’s about the tape!” Steve explodes in exasperation. “It’s late! It’s on my account. I’m getting fees!”

“Oh my god, I’ll bring you the movie. Just say we’re friends.”

“Yes! We’re friends.”

But by then, Eddie had already left.
