This guy and I hung out and we had sex. Before we had sex I asked him if he wanted to be friends with benefits. And he said yes because he was always into me. Recently I told him my parents like him and want me to date him. He said that he thinks us hooking up should just be a one-time thing but that he enjoyed our time together. He said that he didn't want me to think that this was going somewhere. He said that he thinks I m stunning that he loves my body and pictures. And that he will always accept them with open arms. I told him that I don t want a relationship and that I only want sex. And he replied telling me not to stop sending him pictures though. All I want is sex with him and nothing more. In the past I've left things for him at his job. Sometimes I would leave him stuff to pick up at his job. Today I left him my panties at his job.

I need advice on a situation thats frustrating me. I work in a hospital, im 23 and there's this woman who worked actoss the hall from me. Her name was Mariana and she was around 35 married with kids. I always liked her, and she even knew i liked her and she was cool about it. I always caught her staring at me, we used to always talk and i made her smile and laugh soo much. She would flirt with me (in a friendly way) she was a really cool person to be around. But apperantly a few people began making rumors about me and Mariana, and it began causing drama on our floor. Some people didn't like Mariana and they kept talking bad about Mariana behind her back. People began reporting to management and i also got in trouble, Mariana told me she would have my back. My manager told me i had to stop talking to Mariana and to leave her alone. I noticed she was becoming stressed out but she was still okay with me. Mariana told me she would love to talk to me but she wanted to wait for things to cool down. 1 day i gave her a gift card for her birthday when no one was around, she accepted it. But she told my manager about the gift card. She also told my manager that my presence is affecting her. My manager moved to a different floor, 1 month later Mariana Resigned and blocked me from Facebook. Update: She was with the company 9 years, but my managers dont wanna tell me why she quit. It was also super obvious she liked me Update: Im sooo confused about her decision, is it my fault she quit?? Im soo confused because she told me she would have my back. Did she feel pressure or somthing. Please i need advice

I have to admit I caused this whole situation but I didn't think it'll turn out like this. I've been best friends with this girl forever now and our parents know each other and we have endless of things in common. Recently she got a text from one her old classmate ( they didn't like each other back then, but now their cool with each other) my best friend asked me if she should reply to her and I said "yes, to clear things up with her and maybe catch up". My best friend showed me her text messages with her and she started saying how she's has so much in common with her now and how nice and fun to text with.My bestfriend and I text everyday.. but this past 2 weeks we haven't been talking and she's been with her old classmate a lot now... what should I do? Should I leave it? ..

I moved to a new city for a job 6 weeks ago and I've had ZERO fun since coming out here

A family friend whom I hadn't seen for over 20 years and I found him on social media just two months ago. Should I send him this message? He knew me since I was a baby by the way. Is it ok? "Hey, I remember when I used to follow you around and tried to grab your attention when I was a child lol, but only bits and pieces of it since I was only two to five years old at the time. I do remember perfectly well that my uncle telling me not to bother you when I kept jumping around you while you were working LOL. I was pretty upset when you left our hometown because I thought you were pretty cool and fun to be around and my mom said you moved to Mexico. I didn't know what your name was since I was only a child, but I recognized you from that picture"

My boss and I were talking with a friend and he was saying I should permanently transfer to another group. But we are really close and I love my job and didn't want to transfer. So while he's saying his plan, where I will go and who will replace me, I started to tear up. His friend overheard the conversation and said how I didn't want to leave and my boss said 'but she's going to wound me'. His friend said 'she'll wound you if she leaves?' and he just looked down. What does that mean?

I know this is weird but im finished high school and im going to college out of state. It took quite a while for me to make friends at my last school and that was with alot of luck. I have poor social skills and am awkward. Does anyone have helpful advice

When you go out and drink, how does it feel, to be partying with friends. Not having one care in the world, even if it's just for the night? I want to do that when i'm older.

In the beginning of the school year, I had a random roommate. I have been told that I lack social skills in the past....She practiced her monologues in front of me, and later she had an audition. (She's a theatre person) After her audition, I asked her how it went and she was like, "I was super nervous but glad I got through it." I said, "I mean, you're not an A class actor, but for what you're trying to do, it was pretty good, you didn't need to worry." She just didn't say anything after that... Before the audition, I asked her what she was going to wear. I asked, "What are you going to wear?" One of these?" She said, "yeah." I looked at her dresses and then went to my closet and offered one of mine. I said, "I have this. It's pretty new." She looked at me blankly and paused and was like, "uhh I'm just going to wear one of mine, but thank you." Another time during welcome week, she showed me a craft she made at an event. She was like, "Hey did you make one of these yesterday?" I was like, "No, I'm not really into material things, I'm more into making memories." She was like, "Oh...well, I just thought it was a fun little thing to make." There was also another time she was coughing. I was like, "Do you want a cough drop?" She said, "Oh, I'm okay. I just get lots of phlegm sometimes." I said, "You know, they have medicine for that." She didn't say anything. There was another time she was talking about her skin being oily and I was like, "Let me see." Her: "uhh no..." Me: "Don't worry, I won't judge." I got close to her face and looked and it. Then I said, "Oh, you just have larger pores! I have small ones." She looked at me with the blank stare again, and then continued the conversation.

An acquaintance invited me for drinks yesterday. I went; we had drinks for about an hour and a half. I didn t say much; he (we re both straight men) talked at me for the hour and a half. He just needed an audience. He didn t ask about me, except a few times. If someone wants to be friends with you but really just needs an audience, do you bother? I m angry that an hour and a half of my time was wasted by someone who just needs an audience. He could have talked to a brick wall, for all I care.

We work together and honestly whenever we talk obviously looking at eachother with eye contact and as I continue to look him in th eeyes and talk then he manages to look away or look somewhere else then bring his gaze back or has difficulty to talk and keep looking me in the eyes. He always looks away randomly like at a wall then looks back at me or today i turned around and looked him straight in the eyes while talking and he looked up like wth lol. Why could this be? The other day he also said something like "yeah in this copany i'm not even my own bossy I said yes then he smiles saying well at least here I'm your boss" Then he looked at me and said you didn't like that did? I said no. He said I know i said how do you know? he swaid because no one can say anything to you. Not even your man smiling and looking down. I said yea i'm strong he has to respect me he said yeah but you have to lower your walls. I said yeah I have walls (but i was blown away that he even noticed this and thought about and brought it up) i was like yeah i'm very picky, no one is on my level. He said no one is on my level either i have walls too. I said well then how would you suggest to bring down my walls he said i don't know i have my walls up too. I said then why are you telling me to bring down my walls? he said because I'm working on mine too. Why is he acting like this?

I am a 30 year old woman from India, who is lawyer, and I have been in the country for 5 years. Over the years I adapted to American culture and made many great friends, but dating is still very hard. I am very tall and full figured at 6'7 300 pounds, and I still have an accent. I would ask out men and get rejected. I met this guy who lives in the neighboring apartment, whose 23 and works as a bartender and fitness instructor. He moved here from Italy and we developed a friendship being international and adapting to American culture. I give him life advice and am his older mentor he goes to about his problems. He is a VERY handsome man 6'2 220 pounds all muscle. After 6 months knowing him I admitted that I was attracted to him and asked if wanted to have sex. He said that I was not his type and he wasn't into women taller than him. I told him that I respected his boundaries and his preferences. I told him about my struggles dating, and he offered to help me with dating and Introduce me to other men. We still hangout as normal friends, and know each-others friends now. He respects the fact I have sexual feelings for him, and is ok with me touching myself when looking at his photos. I respect the fact he isnt sexually attracted to me. He constantly has women throwing themselves at him and sleeps with 2-3 new ones a week. I still struggle with men, but he is actively helping me. Even though there is one sided attraction, we still support each-other and have mutual friends.

Okay so i had 3 really close friends, these have been my friends since i was in primary school and all grew up together. Over the past 2 years my friends started getting alot into cocaine, and i got mixed up in it with them, obviously because i hung about with them all the time. But it got really bad and we were doing it everyday of the week, i got into thousands of debt and ended up with depression and anxiety. Since then, i have had to change my number and come off social media and completely block my friends out of my life. It has now been 3 months since i last spoke or seen any of them, and i am starting to really struggle. Im stuck in the house every weekend with nothing to do, its starting to drive me insane. I do miss my mates, but what do i do? Do i risk getting back in touch and hanging around with them again? Or keep going on my own? With nothing to my life except going to work everyday then doing nothing. Like i said im a 23 year old lad and its so hard, i need some advice please!

So I'm cool with this guy but he's really starting to make me reconsider being his friend. It seems like he's always trying to make a fight out of everything. The reason we fell out last time is because he decided to come to my job and read some our private text to the cashier like in a way to make fun of me I got embarrassed because I felt like it was something he could've kept between us and then he was talking to me like I was stupid in front of her and the text were just about us working out together. I asked him if he was angry about something by the context of it he seemed mad but didn't want to tell me what it was so instead it made him feel better to come in and read it to the cashier. Then for the 2 days I stopped talking to him he went and told 2-3 other people about the situation. I don't like drama or being cool with people that make something out of nothing. What do you think about this text ? Doesn't it seem like he's pissed off and trying to put his anger on me

She was LGBT and would be in her 70's now. Her advise to my parents was horrible but I wanted to thank her for some advise she gave me as a child even though she failed my parents (it was a marital/alcoholism thing as she caused them to show un-christian character).

I have a friend who will message me sometimes saying we should make plans but never follows up on them. Examples being, on my birthday she texted me saying we should hang out and I gave her my schedule then didn't hear from her for a week. Yet, she makes friends with her other friends. Another situation that happened recently was she cancelled on our plans for financial issues and said she was cancelling with all friends because her cat needed surgery but the very next day was out with her other friends. I don't really understand why she bothers to make plans only to fall through each and every time. Isn't it easier to just say you're not interested?

Okay so i've always had kind of a big mouth ever since I was a kid. My family always jokes that i'm Venkman from Ghostbusters. Normally it doesn't really hurt anyone since it's usually just me making a snarky comment. Well lately and by lately I mean the past year or so; my big mouth has grown a taste for gossip and it's gotten me into big trouble even fights. This last incident happened last night where a friend (now ex friend) found out that I had spilled the beans on something he wished to keep private about his life. I had told someone in confidence this thing about my ex friend and he went to other people and told them and they went to my ex friend and told him that it came from me. Needless to say he was very upset and called me on the phone where we had about a 2 hour confrontation with him ending our friendship and telling me to never speak to him again. This isn't the first time it's happened either. About 6 months ago I stupidly told a co-worker I thought I could trust that I didn't like the way someone was doing their job. It got back to them that I said what I said and that caused another fight. It's gotten to the point where I feel I may be getting a reputation for being a big mouthed jerk and I really don't want that. I want to stop being so gossipy and stop my big mouth before it gets me into really big trouble. I just can't seem to stop though. Help and advice???? Please???? I suffer from extreme anxiety and it helps my anxiety to talk about things I hear that bother me. I didn't use to be like this but now I have two people who think and feel like i'm this big mouth jerk and that I talk to much. my now Ex friend flat out said to me he will never respect me for telling his secret the way I did. I just don't want to be "THAT" guy who talks too much. How can I control this???

I don't know, i've been having dreams about those years lately and I don't know if he remembers me or not, I found his Facebook and I see that he lives a rough neighborhood and his circle of friends don't seem welcoming at all.

I'm a 21 year old guy. 3 years ago, I sent a friend request to a cute girl on social media. She was in my "suggested" and we had mutual friends. She accepted it. Over the years she and I have liked and commented back and forth on each other's posts. I just asked her to meet me for coffee. She said yes! We have never met in person. My question is, is this a date? I didn't call it that. I just asked if she wanted to meet for coffee. She doesn't have a boyfriend and I don't have a girlfriend. I know that. I didn't want to scare her, I am a stranger after all. Also, any date advice in general?

My BFF from work is quitting. We really bonded and did things after work often. Since we both will be working in different jobs now I'm worried I wont see her again. I took having her there for granted and figured "oh we work together, we will have plenty of time to become good friends." Now I wonder if it would be weird to ask her to hang out once she leaves (her last week is next week). When we work it's not so awkward to go out for drinks afterwards. But it might be weird to send a text asking to hang out once she is somewhere else? I'm just sad I won't see her everyday.

We work together and honestly whenever we talk obviously looking at eachother with eye contact and as I continue to look him in th eeyes and talk then he manages to look away or look somewhere else then bring his gaze back or has difficulty to talk and keep looking me in the eyes. He always looks away randomly like at a wall then looks back at me or today i turned around and looked him straight in the eyes while talking and he looked up like wth lol. Why could this be? The other day he also said something like "yeah in this copany i'm not even my own bossy I said yes then he smiles saying well at least here I'm your boss" Then he looked at me and said you didn't like that did? I said no. He said I know i said how do you know? he swaid because no one can say anything to you. Not even your man smiling and looking down. I said yea i'm strong he has to respect me he said yeah but you have to lower your walls. I said yeah I have walls (but i was blown away that he even noticed this and thought about and brought it up) i was like yeah i'm very picky, no one is on my level. He said no one is on my level either i have walls too. I said well then how would you suggest to bring down my walls he said i don't know i have my walls up too. I said then why are you telling me to bring down my walls? he said because I'm working on mine too. Why is he acting like this/?

I'm a teacher at a high school. I'm 36f. There's a student of mine that I literally want to see die. She's pretty and popular and she knows it. And she's disrespectful to me because of an incident that happened in early spring. I yelled at her for writing "*****" on my blackboard in my classroom. Later I ended up finding out that it was another student. I never apologized to her because she needs to get the f*ck over it. She deserved it anyway considering her bitchy attitude. Now it's August and today was the first day of the summer school class that I agreed to teach. She was so rude to me. She didn't talk to me, she didn't seem interested in anything I had to say, she even her eyes at me and kept walking when I called her name at the end of the class. I've never had an issue with any other student, I love my job but I can't stand her. Whenever I think of something bad happening to her, I smile. I mentioned this to my best friend and she said that I need to stop because she's just a kid. But that's the thing, despite her being a child I still hate her. I've never felt like this towards ANYONE before. And I know people are going to think I'm trolling because this seems like BS but it's the honest truth. I need advice on how to get her out of my head. It was nice not seeing her for two months but now seeing her again I literally want to run her over. I'm never teaching summer school again.

I brought a home a month and 1/2 ago with hard work and dedication. I have two extra rooms. I invited some friends and family over for home warming and last week my friend ask could she and her two kids stay with me because she has no where to go as she has to leave in one week. She then told me, it'll only be for some time and that I had plenty of room. Then today, my big sister text me and ask can she, her six kids and husband live with me for three months. I told her no and that I needed my space. No my entire family is saying that I've changed and I'm a nasty hearted person and I'm probably losing a friend as well. I just need my space and I don't want their kids destroying my home as I'm a neat freak. Am I wrong?
