Hello everybody, this weekend I have senior prom, I'm going with a friend who I actually like and she liked me too but we're going only as friends. We don't see each other a lot and the fact that I like her usually makes me anxious and I get stuck in conversation, meaning that I don't know what to say. I generally have an anxiety problem in social relationships and so I tend to avoid them but I really care about her and I wanna have a good Prom. I've often tried to solve my anxiety problem just telling myself "You just need to stop thinking while you're with her", but this way it just got worse. So I decided I want to try to make it more rational and actually organize the Prom night in a way that I already know what to do. So do you have any suggestion about how to start a conversation in a natural way, how to keep up conversations and how to manage those silent moment that will stress me out and that will surely come above all at the start, also because when there are parents too (so while we're going to take pictures and stuff) it's even harder for me to talk. Thank you very much

Then they tried to kill me and told the court they wanted to revenge me for what I did.Why all this behaviour?I never did anything.

I told them I don't want to kiss them but they ignore me. Should I threaten them with sexual harrassment to get my point across

"No one likes to be forced to do anything. In fact, love is always freely given. Love cannot be demanded. We can request things of each other, but we must never demand anything. Requests give direction to love, but demands stop the flow of love." Do you agree or disagree with it? please explain

I'm gonna sound like a massive dick but I slid in this guys baby mama's DMs on Instagram and she hearted the image I sent like u can like a message someone sends u. The image made my intentions clear like we all know why men slide into women's DM's. I think she's beautiful she's got great curves and with all due respect her she's got a big booty, like she's really thick and I want to sleep with her cause who wouldn't? But idk how to respond because she liked the image I sent but gave me no verbal response. I just slid in her DM's we don't know each other we just both live in the same city and have fairly large social media followings

My granddaughter is 12 years old and she always has at least 5 temporary tattoos on her body. I told her she was too old for them and she isn't a child anymore. She got angry with me and walked away angry. So is she too old or am I wrong here? She's autistic and she needs to learn to be like the other kids. I don't see any of them with temporary tattoos.

I have a situation with a guy I'm close to and I was just hoping for some insight from others. We have been fwbs a long time and have known each other several years. We've always considered each other as best friends. A few months ago, he admitted to me he was kind of bisexual. He had never said it before. He did go into some detail and told me he definitely did NOT do "butt stuff" with men (giving or receiving) and that it was strictly foreplay type things (oral sex/hand jobs). He also mentioned he could never DATE or "be with" a guy and that he didn't really have an actual ATTRACTION to men (although I do recall one time him saying a certain famous man wasn't bad looking, but I couldn't tell if he was joking or not. He kind of seemed to be). He mostly has done anonymous encounters with guys other than having like one group play encounter with a friend and her guy awhile back. He does have a "type" as far was what type of penis he likes the best, but has told me he hasn't actually had that many (less than 5). He has told me that he LOVES my body and definitely isn't shy when we have sex. He seems very into and always gives me compliments about my vagina and stuff (both in person and over the phone when we're apart). He's also told me that I'm the best he's ever been with and that I'm his "favorite vagina" and he just can't resist it when we're together. That being said, should I fear he might be GAY or should I rest assured that he just sometimes likes foreplay with guys? He also makes comments about my appearance too (like I'm pretty and stuff) and he has commented about other women (the one movie had nude scenes for example of just women and he was like yeah... this is part of why I like this movie and laughed). He is also a bit quiet about his sex life which I totally get. He doesn't tell EVERYONE he's kind of on the bi side. He only tells close people and has told me that any of his encounters have always been with men that AREN'T local to our particular town One theory I have with this is that it MAY have something to do with his past. I'm pretty sure he has hinted at some form of sexual abuse when he was younger. I have not officially confirmed this, but I do want to eventually when I think the timing is right. If that is indeed true, could that be causing this behavior in adulthood? Could he only be interested in the acts he's done with men because he's kind of re-enacting his OWN abuse - like he's doing what whoever touched him did? I don't know how long this has went on (like when he first did anything with a guy), but I want to find out. He has also had ONLY girlfriends. They have not been GOOD experiences (gross, crappy women sadly), but he has only dated women and has said that he would (and could) never date a man. He has said that as far as receiving oral from a man go, he really just shrugs it off and said it was "just a blow*job" and that a BJ was a BJ no matter who was giving it. Caroline - well, he just says positive things about it. Like he'll say it's "beautiful" or "perfect" and tells me how much he likes the feel/taste. That's why he's told me several times that I'm by far the "favorite" and that mine is the best vagina he's ever had. When we have sex, it's not uncommon for him to kiss me a lot in various places (very commonly the lips) and he'll make (and hold) eye contact, hold my hand sometimes, etc. He always wants to cuddle with me after too (or in general). The main reasons I'm asking is because while I'm not judgmental of other people's choices, I really like this guy and I THINK he likes me too. If he turned out to be a "closet gay" I would be really sad. It would also be hurtful that he wasn't honest and made me believe "we" could have a chance if he actually wanted just men. I don't really think that's true but I've heard of cases where women have been in relationships or even MARRIED to men who ended up "coming out" and leaving them for a man. I should also note that he does really like porn too. I'm not sure what all he watches, but from what I have seen and know, a lot of it involves his "fetishes". Like 2 girls pleasuring 1 man, girls going to glory holes, etc. He has also told me before that he wouldn't be opposed to us (me and him) having group play at some point (he did mention another girl too). Once when I mentioned maybe getting a boyfriend he said I could have one IF he would share because he would miss sex with me otherwise Another note - he has a couch he uses for more comfortable gaming and so there's more room if he has MALE company because he told me there is no way a man is getting in HIS bed and cuddling up with him. He said he would give a male friend permission to stay the night if they had been drinking for safety reasons (some of his guy friends are drinkers). I teased him playfully to get a reaction and he said no men in the bed and also referred to it as "our" bed" ("our" being me and his). He has also commented that while he doesn't mind other penises, his OWN penis is still his favorite. A final question - is there any way for me to "test" things? Like a way to just casually find out just how "risky" this could be and how much I should worry? If he really is JUST kind of bi and simply likes to have foreplay activities with another man here and there, I would accept that. My fear is I'll be one of the "man left her for another man" girls. Anon - you're a real moron. This is NOT a man typing lol I'm a female. Don't make idiotic assumptions. Speaking of idiotic assumptions, reme_1 - how does one's "number" determine their sexuality? He has had FAR more sexual encounters with women than men.
