All my friends sometimes like to get together to hang out or eat food. All my friends are married with kids, God bless and wishing them the best but I am single, looking for love, never found love so I feel left out if I am with my all married friends. I always want the single friend to be there. Today we had a dinner get together but since my single friend is not going, I don't want to be the odd one out so I missed the plan. I feel bad for opting out at the last minute. But am I wrong for feeling like this?

Whenever they start the convo, it's never more than hey or hi which is ok but after that they literally say nothing else just expect me to ask them a bunch of stuff or take the lead of they just go, sometimes I'll get a "how are you" or "you ok" So just cus you're a girl and you made the first move I need to be oh so grateful and all your work is done? You can just be all blunt to me? Or they've got on their bios "won't respond to hi or hey, it's boring" Lemme just say, if I start a convo with you that's all you're getting first off, think I'm playing leapfrog with a bunch of other guys to "get your attention" are you some kinda narcissist? "Send me your best pickup lines" as previously outlined, why tf would I chase after your attention let alone stoop to new levels of low such as creepy one liners Think just cus you're skinny, blonde and wear a bunch of makeup that you're entitled to sh*t? Even the plainer girls have started doing it😂 Any explanation?

My parents wouldn't let me work during in high school.. And I couldn't hang out with my friends other than the one time which was terrible and miserable. The times I do ask to hang-out they don't make a decision. My mom wouldn't let go to a friends house unless she met them... She wouldn't say something racist and mean like my friends would be like that but its her making them like that... I think she is a dumb controlling women on who I get to see and who I don't... my friends could be like a bit controlling but I believe it was my mom and dad who did this to me.. MY mother makes me see people who are older and already with children which Idek why that has to be... she is dumb to not let me work or for any reason it really makes no sense.. I want to deal with people my own age and not desire anything that is stupid or outrageous and unnecessary.. it does not have to be a school excuse to see people and hang out with them later on... that is only when you start school when your young.. I graduated from high school and it was very difficult I mean she was racist (correction to "wouldn't") and idek whats her problem I really don't see the fact just because you don't know them doesn't mean they are bad... it is so so so stupid as hell... It didn't matter whether I was gay or straight it just doesn't make any sense.. how the hell am I suppose to meet the person of my dreams if my mom keeps on being stupid I am currently 22 years old and did have some dating experience but it was with most guys I didn't know at first... The person of my dreams would have been a guy I knew since we were young and its hard because I just couldn't I had the worst experience ever dealing with a lot of disgusting things that I have to deal with on a regular basis.. He was the one for me and now idk... I just know I am not gross or never will be in the future because I was used for someone else's gain

I'm a guy in my early 20's. Back in the fall, I asked a girl I liked at my work if she wanted to ''hang out with me sometime''. She said yes. I meant it in a ''date'' way. Not sure if she took it that way. The word around the office was she thought I was cute. After that, she would text me all the time to check in on me and say hi. We went to the mall, shared some deserts, etc. We only went out a couple times. A few months ago she switched to a new job and we drifted. No more texts from her. And she would ignore most of mine. I guess I didn't make a big enough impact. Just recently, I added her on social media. I found out we had jogging in common and I met up with her to jog this week. First time we'd seen each other in months. Here's the thing... I haven't heard anything from her since. This is such a tangled web. If I had said ''go out with me'' this would all be different. How can I maintain this relationship now that we are somewhat communicating again? I don't want to seem desperate. I just think she's the funniest, cutest, coolest chick ever.

(I'm a dude btw ) Just wanna make things clear ,I already spent the $15 for the ticket so now I have to go so the money isn't wasted, but I am really regretting my decision because my friends are probably gonna ditch me and I am going to be the creepy dude all by my lone some standing by the punch bowl! I didn't want to go to begin with but then my friends hyped me up but now I lost that hype, also I may not even have a ride home if my friends ditch me because my parents are out of town... so how do I stop freaking out over nothing

As a sex offender it seems social life is a dead issue is it plausible to find those to give a second chance? I was 20 and made a mistake? https://www.wmbfnews.com/story/13938593/florence-man-to-spend-8-years-in-prison-for-downloading-child-porn/ which is the media link but there is alot more, and i have admitted and been try to move on and better myself as a person but seems impossible to find people to care.

theres this kid that has severe autism and has been talking to me, hes racist and homophobic and makes me really nervous (like threatening, not to my face but just outloud, to rape me or shoot up the school). this happened last year and we got a "stay away agreement" so he leaves me alone. i have serious anxiety about all of this. today he came up and asked "to be friends again". i feel so insensitive and bad for everything but i just want him to go away. i regret all of this and i just wish he had never come to my table to talk to me. i started talking him because no one talked to him and i thought itd be nice for him to have a friend but its just bad now. i feel horrible. what should i do? (my bad for the crappy grammer/etc, im too preoccupied to fix it)

I'm only gonna say two things that I especially noticed today. Him and his friend were walking side by side and he was staring straight at me. I looked up multiple times and I tried to wave but he looked away too fast. He and his friend walked over to the other side of the building, and there's is a window where you can see the other widen if the building and he was facing me. I was staring back. The second thing was him and his friend got really close to me at one point and I could've sworn I heard his friend say "she's right there". I swear I heard it, or maybe I'm just crazy.

Nothing unloyal or snake like about it. We are still friends but if my friend's beefing someone I'll hear both sides and if they're in the wrong I won't back them, I'll tell them they're in the wrong. I seen so many people, particularly females embarrass themselves and stoop to all kinds of lows to defend their friends when they've wronged me so bad. Example would be me being lead on for months by some f*ckgirl constantly lying to me; saying she likes me when all I was was someone for her to vent to and flirting with other guys at the same time. What I get for being a good listener for someone I care about. When I called her out for it like a typical woman she will not stand on her own two feet when there's beef, got her friends involved to back her who knew exactly what she did and continued to back her after months of hurt they were only fixated on the tiny things I did such as calling her a f*ckgirl and a wannabe slut, ignoring how she's a cheat. I silenced them pretty quickly with one question. What if it was the other way round and a guy had lead your friend on for months using him as someone to vent to and lying to him? And they didn't have an answer😂 If one of my friends lead someone on and played them for months 1) I'd question whether or not I want someone who does that as a friend 2) if I was to stay friends, I'd call them out and say they're wrong and need to fix it Anyone else agree??

So last year, my closest female friend got really mad at me because she felt really smothered by me. I haven't spoken to her in a year until yesterday at my school's last concert of the year. When she saw me, she smiled at me and we talked a little bit. Is she still my friend in the end?

Okay, so he's popular and I'm not, he has a lot of friends and I actually have none, I'm always alone at lunch but I'm okay with that. I don't need anyone. Hes popular but he's poor, his clothes look Walmart and he's also ugly, on the other hand, I'm attractive and rich, I have airpods and a new iPhone so I feel good about myself but he's so competitive, him and his gang make fun of me and stuff and it bothers me how they think they are better! He's always trying to embarrass me in front of everyone and I'm sick of this sh!t. What should I do?

If a guy keeps looking a lot at you while you are talking to another guy, and then, after some time, he comes to talk to you too, does It mean he was kind of jealous ?

I have heard that true friends don't need to talk everyday or always need to be together and that the friendship needs to live in the heart but how do you make a friendship live in the heart?

Any advice.

Texted a friend how I got rear ended but that nothing bad happened and it's their fault and that I was planning on ubering fulltime though so it'll just take out time for it and it just my luck. He responded haha nice, that's what sucks/the bad thing for being on road a lot. The haha nice was probably just in response to the nothing bad happened/its their fault/ just my luck remark. Not the being rear ended part, right? Am I just overthinking this?

People would rather use bad ideas from people they know than good ideas from people they don't know.. why don't we just look for the best ideas even if you don't know a person? Is life all just about being in a club? And if you're not in the club then no matter how good your ideas are they will never be accepted?

I want to make friends, because I'm often by myself most of the time. I'm about to be a senior in college, and I have yet to find a decent friend. How can I make friends without feeling like I'm forcing something that isn't there or isn't meant to happen?

I have been texting with my friend that I have had for 8 years and she said she would be willing to help me with my fetish. She said she "had something" for me that she would bring tomorrow for me. I was aroused then. But, now I'm having mixed thoughts. I have to hide this from everyone which makes it 5x more awkward. :( What should I do?

I'm going through a stressful time, my parents are very sick and I have a difficult test and my only friend is too busy to pay attention

Ok, so I have a roommate who is expecting me to live with him next year, but I don't want to, even though I already signed a lease. The catch is, I already found someone else I might move in with instead. I also already found someone who's ready to take over my lease if I do. There are a few reasons why I am moving: 1. He's very toxic He treats me like crap but he doesn't have any other friends, so I put put up with it. 2. He's very weird This will be very vague because it's pretty personal for him. 3. He's controlling He keeps to himself most of the time, but when we do hangout, I barely have a say on what we do. He was initially pretty cool and laid back, but he seems to be too comfortable with me, some examples is making fun of me, insulting me every chance he gets, gets mad when I don't want to hangout with him, he's threatened violence against me a couple of times, but he says they're jokes. He also jokes about some things that are not to be jokes about near me such as dead relatives, or my love life. I don't know how to break the news to him if it does happen that I move out. He gets angry quite fast and I don't want him to hurt me or himself. We both go to the same college, and will most likely have a class together. What do I do?

No, she wasn't dating him when we hooked up. About 6 months ago, I met this guy at a bar and hooked up with him. He also goes to the same college as us which is how the convo initiated. We found each other attractive and had a one night stand. Nothing more. My friend is very discrete so couple days ago she told us that she has been talking to someone for 3 months now and that we will meet him for dinner on Tuesday. When we saw each other at the restaurant, it was the MOST awkwardest thing that has ever happened to me. How bad can my luck be and what were the odds?! This is the same guy that I've hooked up with 6 months ago! My friend could tell that we were being a little odd. We have no feelings for each other whatsoever and I've no problem at all with my friend dating him. I'm very happy for her but should I tell her about it? I feel bad for hiding it. Maybe she doesn't wanna be with someone that her friend has slept with? Our other roommates were also there with us at dinner.

This guy and I had sex once I told him I was going to leave sexy pictures for him. ( He didn't actually ask for them). But ever since I told him I was going to leave them he's been asking for them. Yes I know some men show their guy friends but not all men do that.

They kept picking me up and running me into a wall until I lost conscious, just because i call them cowards

I am a 27 year old female and I have had trouble making and keeping friends and I do have some kind of social disability and I do have some friends now in my life and one in particular is a lot older than me but it's like I am getting to the point to where I just don't talk to them much but a few of them do reach out to me and I talk to them when they do reach out and my good friend that is a lot older than me reaches out to me almost every day I would say she is married and has a family though and I don't and I don't feel the need to get excited with my friends anymore but I will talk to them. It seems like I have lost some interest in even having friends. Is this ok to think this way and feel this way?

I love my dear friend, she is my world. I often tell her i love her and she will say it back quickly. Shes a reserved person who doesn't show much affection mych. Although recently she has started to say it first, and even after our phone calls before we say goodbye. I love it just as much as i love her don't get me wrong, but why has she started doing that?
