I have a couple of people I like to hang out with individually, but I also have people I only hang out with in groups. For example, I ll feel comfortable hanging out alone with Friend A, but I ll only hang out with Friend B if other people are there. Is this a normal thing? Do other people have these kind of "group friends," and do they still qualify as friends? I m probably overthinking this, but that s what I tend to do. Thanks!

I've been talking to this girl and we have even talking about us being in a relationship one day. She sent me a text that read " I doo like you Victor, but I'd definitely like to hangout more before we get ahead of ourselves". What does she mean by this?????

This person called me today with a personal emergency that tbh I really feel is either made up or they brought it upon themselves (which tbh they have a habit of doing). I want to be supportive, and I feel like they're in a fragile/desperate state, but at the same time they've made me look really stupid before for trusting them, and I'm reluctant to give them the opportunity to do that again. Is there any middle ground to this situation? Or should I just cut them out of my life entirely? It's not a family member. I really think they're lying tbh, but I don't have a way to verify either.

We talk everynight on the phone to see how she is. I know it sounds childish but she hasnt answered her phone yesterday or tonight and hasnt been in contact either at all... its completey out of character . Saturday night she was crying to me on the phone asking me not to leave her and was really depressed. She also has epilepsy and learning disabilties and bipolar.. What could of happened? Should i just leave her to contact me?

This has been going on ever since I transferred into the public school system in my hometown. To make it simple people either hate me for no reason right off the bat, or like me at first but start hating me with time. I even had long time "friends" abandon me because of this. It is because of this that I have very very few friends and a dating life being made impossible. I could honestly care less about this situation, as its been around for so long that Im calloused to it. I dont care anymore, asIm a senior about to head for graduation and college, but as an alpha male in training, how do I handle this? Note: I am also going to college nearby next fall if thats noteworthy.

So I have these three friends that I have known since high school. One of my friends occasionally hits me up and talks though we don't talk that often since he got a girlfriend...but we text funny stuff from time to time. The other two I haven't seen since 2016 and we don't talk as often at all. Recently I tried to deepen our friendship by having us all to see Black Panther together. I told one of my friends this and he was like "IDK, we'll see". Then I told another that I wanted all of us to see the movie and he was like, "Okay, i'm down." So, I assumed we would see the movie a few weeks after opening as to avoid the large opening crowds, but today when I texted my third friend (The one that has the girlfriend) he was like the other two already saw it. This obviously means they saw it without me--knowing that I wanted to see it. How do I respond to this...if at all?

I'm so bored with my life. I work 5 days a week and make no money. I don't have friends that live near me at all. I don't have a significant other. I don't know how to meet people. I'm not in school. I need change but don't know why/ how to start. I'm a 20 year old female. Please help!

Sooo I'm a 22 year old guy, and I'm really into this girl from work. I've liked her for a long time and Friday night we finally hungout. We hungout with a group of friends and we even kissed a few times that night. The next day she told me that she likes me, but she wants to get to hangout more before we date. But my problem is that I have a lot of anxiety, we didn't talk much yesterday and today we haven't texted at all because I don't want to be needy. but I keep feeling like she will lose interest if I don't text her but at the same time I don't want to be clingy. Is this all in my head????? I need advice please!!!!! My friend told me to wait until tomorrow before I message her, we work in different departmens so I don't see her.

Ima keep it short. I like this girl my whole life. In highschool I said I like her she don't like me but I told her that before we even Talked as friends to each other but we always knew each other because we went to the same school. In highschool this drug dealer classmate swoops her up and finnesed her and even had sex with her. I don't get how in less than a year he made her like him. Like what do you think he said. He says **** like "shawty" Well they broke up after her dad dissaproved of him. Since then our friendship grew and we always went on adventures with each other she's always laughing with me and we even got drunk in my basement. Like I honestly feel if I made some type of move she'd like it. I think the problem is I'm too much of myself. Which means I don't actively try to pick her up I just do me allot. But I may need to change my game up, problem is idk how because I don't call girls shawty I respect my ladies I'm a gentleman. She goes to college near my house and I may be joining the airforce soon so I wanna see what type of move I can make. We haven't talked in months so I'm looking To somehow meet up with her again

My sorority sisters & I went to a frat party and it was fun. We hanged out with them and they are nice people, nothing like I'd expect straight out of a movie. Anyways, my friend and I were singing kareoke with a few of them & after a few songs, I'm yours by Jason Mraz came on which is one of my faves. So the guy close to me was singing it as well & then we started singing it to each other, and everyone else around us. After that, I've noticed that he kept wanting to talk to me. I didn't mind I thought he wanted to get to know me bc this was my 1st frat party & I didn't knw any of them. So we ended up exchanging numbers, & I saw a few of them doing the same with some of my sorority sisters. They told me they gave it to them so they'd let them know what events, fundraisers they could co sponsor etc. that's why I did the same but just to him only. I even told him just as friends. He seemed cool with it. As I left along with my friends, he gave me a few hugs. A few days later, we text each other but he always text 1st. Our convo is nothing romantic, just a friend convo but today he asked me what I have planned for the week. I sense he might make a move. Just to be clear, I only see him as a friend. It's highly possible that I may see him this Saturday since hey invited us & my sorority sisters want to go. I don't want to make things awkward. Thank you for your feedback!

ME:Do you want to be friends with benefits? HIM:I wish you would've given me your number years ago. How do you feel about being with me and another girl? ME:Wow. I was thinking that maybe we might hookup but I guess not lol. HIM:2 years ago I would've loved to ME:I understand. HIM:the lady likes ladies though ME:Nevermind me saying anything I was out of line anyway. I thought you were single and was just looking for some fun. HIM:I was ME:Ok I just always thought you were sexy. I don't know what I was thinking lol. It's crazy but I apologize. HIM:Don't I was always into you too ME:Well we can still be friends. HIM:good ME:I'm thinking about going back to massage school part time I really miss it. HIM:I'll still be your study buddy ME: It's just that a threesome is a little much for me. I've never really been sexually involved with a guy. HIM:but you've been with girls, so how bout being involved with the girl while I sit back and watch? ME:I've never been with a woman either. HIM:oh so you're a gem, then? Like I said, I wish I got your number years ago. we could've been having such fun ME:I wish you hadn't of waited so long to ask for my number. I feel like I missed out lol. ME:Can we still hangout? HIM:you were always with your family I feel like I never had you alone and I thought you were too young absolutely. I have to go now though. I'll ttyl *I'm not desperate I just want him*

My friend used to be awful to me in high school and I let her do it to me because I was too much of a wimp back then. I considered cutting her off back then but I was her only friend so I put up with her. Clearly a mistake. I regret it now but there's not much to do. I hate her so much and just want to go off on her and tell her all the awful things she's done to me, but I don't think it would achieve anything. We are both in university now. I want to just let it all out on her and insult her and make her feel even more awful, because I know where her insecurities are. But at the same time I'm not sure it'll do much, or if she'll even care that she hurt me. She's really nice now I guess she's grown up, but I still hold a grudge against her. Should I be mean back to her and really shady and make her feel insecure,or just cut her off? There's also another girl who would kind of join in when my friend made fun of me.She's a lot nicer now too but I still hate her for it.When I was confiding in her once about how awful my friend made me feel,she even said she felt bad for joining in.So she knew what she was doing. I just hate them both so much.I don't even see them anymore but I just get so angry about it.I think it would really make me feel better to at least confront the first girl I mentioned.But at the same time sometimes she can be useful when I need to rant and she'll make me feel better by talking to me.I also don't want to cut her off because I may need her in the future.

Hi, I am a girl 22 years. I have a fetish or strange addiction. Since 11-12 years old. I like to wear latex gloves or surgical gloves on my feet. Even now I have gloves on my feet. This is because since I was a child I had access to these. But nobody knows about my friends or my family. Is this normal? Should I continue or leave it? I do not have a boyfriend because I do not care for now and I study and work. For me it's a way to relax.

2/3 years ago, I started at a new school. Back at my old school, I never worried about "how smart I was", but teachers and peers always complimented me on my intelligence. In my new school, things are different. Although I may be considered as a "teacher's pet" and somebody people call me a nerd, I don't feel as smart, in fact I don't feel smart at all. There is someone in the class, that although I am friends with them and they are very nice, upsets me as they seem to be a better student. Today one of my friends commented on her good grades, and it really got to me. Not being the best is just killing me - I feel ashamed and embarrassed. I know this is ridiculous, but what can I do?

I'll try to keep it short: I'm in my mid-30s. When I was growing up and all through college, I didn't have a lot of friends but I just chalked it up to growing pains and living in a small podunk city. When I first moved away after college, I made friends right away luckily—but looking back, it was just cuz I was young and open, and at my physical peak. Honestly: when ur attractive enough, ppl will treat u better u better. That's just the truth. But after a couple of years, those friends were holding me back—I was outgrowing them. They were very dull and closeminded, and I wanted more. I only keep in touch w/ two of them now. I moved again a few years ago, and haven't been able to make true friends. I'm a gay person of color, and I think that plays a huge part. I also dress plainly and act very nice, so people assume I'm a moron. They think I'm "out of touch". Seriously. I'm also older and not as "cute" anymore, and again: it helps if ur cute. I just don't think I'm meant to have friends. If I do, it would b with people I don't truly connect with (see my old friends who were boring...). Thoughts? Abusive responses will b flagged and removed. thx

Do you think he wants to have sex with me? ME:Do you want to be friends with benefits? HIM:I wish you would've given me your number years ago. How do you feel about being with me and another girl?

ok so I'm kind of an introvert person and I have this best friend of mine. She is very caring and stuff and I like her a lot but whenever I see her getting close to some other common friend of ours, I get jealous. Not that I don't want to have other friends or that I just want her to tell me all the stuff so I don't look like a goof when the issue comes up. It hurts me a lot. but then I feel like I'm being clingy or sth because it's always me who gets insecure. so what should I do so that she remains my bff and also I don't get jealous.

i got this message from someone...does it sound like this person like me a little, an average amount or alot? thanks for honest opinion

does this person sound like they really like me as a friend? this is the note they left me when i was down on myself.. please be honest and thanks does it seem like this person thinks highly of me? thanks

please rate them both for their looks from 1-10? or please just say who is better looking? thanks

My friend is 26, but she completely blacked out when we went to Vegas for my friends party. She got hammered at the hotel party -I'm stunned because she never got this smashed before. She is from Korea originally

Is this a sign of friendship or something for them? What does this mean?

I'm very shy and quiet and mute kind of...so people might think I'm lazy. But with schoolwork I can be pretty lazy doing the bare minimum and others can probably see that. I see others put so much hard work into their stuff. Lol.

My ex gf and I broke up after a year and a half, we had our ups and downs. She kept calling, wanting to hangout, have sex, showed up at my job and even tried to get back together. After a while, I woke up and began to reject her sexual advances. It all began after one call, she wanted to come over and 'cuddle', I said no. A few months later, I got in touch with her, assuming we were friends, and learned that she was moving, she was very venomous and said all kinds of cruel things. She hurt me very badly. I finally confronted her about the times she used me, it was a vicious call. She sent me a e-mail apologizing telling him that she still really cared about me a lot, how she was truly sorry for all of the things she told me, regretted it, and that she was going through stuff at the time. I called her back, she had just moved, she told me that she missed me, That she still felt a strong connection with me, and I think, that she thought of me as family. But she downplayed our past relationship (when we were a couple) attributing it to being 'young and naive' and that she liked some things about our relationship. She also told me how she was interested in hook ups. At the end of the phone call, I wished her good luck and happiness in life and told her goodbye. She told me that I could call whenever I wanted to talk, but I didn't respond to her offer, and just said 'bye.' After she told me bye, and she stood on the line until I hung up. And I never talked to her again. On our final night together, during the period where she was being hateful, she came onto me sexually and I rejected her, and she told me 'if I was older, I probably would've stayed with you.' She even invited me to move with her. This was before the confrontation call, before the final phone call (a month or so before). You don't try to have sex with someone you feel is like family. So, I wonder if she was putting on a front during our last phone call.

Im currently 21 years old and have been living with just one other roommate in an apartment for the past three years. I have two friends right now that want to live with me and my current roommate come August of this year. I know all three of these guys very well, we've been friends since middle school. I can trust them with anything. My problem is that I don't know if I want to live with 3 others guys. When I try to imagine living with them I can see us having fun and getting along real well but I kind of see it as a downgrade due to the fact that I'm getting older but the number of roommate I have is increasing. I feel like its immature? For example: If I start dating a girl, would she think it is childlike of me to be living with 3 other guys? not to mention we all share the same type of humor and we're not very serious all the time and people who don't know us to well probably think were annoying. I feel like if I live with them I will start to slack off and start to lose focus of the important things in my life like starting a career. I think I'm overthinking this but at the same time its a big change for me so I feel like its not a bad thing to be cautious. Any advice?

i know this is going to sound gross and freaky but do you think there is something kind of sexy in anyway about a man you find very attractive having a fetish for your underwear? would u find this appealing in an offbeat kind of way? by the way this is a female asking and please let me know if you are a male or female answering..tks and will choose best answer

Please bear with me, because I am going into a rant here. So, I have been best friend's with this girl ever since I was 6. From that age to about 12, I have always seemed insignificant compared to her. She got better grades than me and people always payed more attention to her, but I never cared because we were really good friends. Right when 8th grade started, I began to realize that I needed to step up my game because I was starting to feel like a nobody. I studied incredibly hard and I managed to catch up to her grades and beat her in math competitions. I also began to see that my friend was incredibly arrogant because she was irritated every time I achieved something greater than she did. I couldn't believe it-- almost all my life, I have always supported her and congratulated on her accomplishments, yet when I get something better, she just wants to deteriorate my reputation to show me my place. I admit, I feel jealous of her intelligence, because she is constantly out playing with other friends and doing other things not academic related (I know this due to her various Instagram posts and Snapchat stories) while I have to sit at my desk and study for hours. She also still gets more attention than me because she has always been the "smart" girl in our child hood, and people are biased to believe that she will always be #1 in academics. Yet, with all these advantages put on her, she sneers and teases me constantly about my achievements. I'm not sure what to do!!!

She says she is being truthful with me and I find that hurtful. I never try to hurt her on purpose but sometimes I do so by saying some things wrong. Usually I'd just tell her that friends shouldn't have to watch how they speak if they're really friends. I may talk about an experience I have and she will somehow think I'm trying to say something about her. While in reality I am simply talking about an experience I had. From there she will say things like how I say dumb things, I am a jerk and so forth. While I go around and tell her that a lot of my other frends think I'm an okay guy. However she talks about I disappoint her when she starts to think I'm a decent guy. I'm not trying to be anything other than myself and she gives me crap for it. However when she is being herself, I try to be open minded and learn more things about her. At one part she will even say I'm not even all that special and stuff. I don't know why she tries to belittle me when I wouldn't even think of doing that to me. If anything she's being the bad friend.
