"If you have no problem being a "side piece," why are you here asking for advice?"

That's probably what any of the therapists I've ever had would say to me before I even got into trying to explain anything. Sure, they'd let you use all the rope you want to hang yourself with rationalization sand explanations later, but you gotta open with that question to keep it at the forefront.

"Hmm, you feel uneasy about what you might be getting into. Mmm hmm. You haven't felt that way about your past relationships that were out of your comfort zone. You just gave it a shot and tried to see what worked. What makes this one different?"

Eventually, they should guide you to tell yourself that you're actually not ok being somebody's second best and that knowingly entering into a secret relationship that would anger and devastate you, should you discover a partner having one, might actually make you feel sorta lovely.

Talk therapy is keen.

What I'm saying is this 17 year-old person is a moron, which is, of course, redundant. They're 17.

Alternatively, they'll get married and have a wonderful relationship for a couple years with their kid until OP decides she wants to open up the relationship.

I [35M] haven’t yet kissed the girl [38F] I have been dating for almost 3 months. We are going to a hockey game tomorrow and I am worried about showing up on the “Kiss Cam”

quote:

I have virtually no past dating experience and I am very shy regarding physical contact. The girl I am dating is very conservative and still lives with her parents. I don’t know her full past but understand she has never had a serious boyfriend.

Also, she rents an office in her parents’ home, and from there, she runs a very successful marketing firm and has dozens of professional clients in the area. So, several times, while we were on dates, business owners have stopped and said hello to her.

It seems things are going great between us. We chat all the time and have been on a bunch of dates. I’ve met her family several times and they seem to like me.

Anyway… I haven’t tried to kiss her yet. The moment just hasn’t seemed right and I didn’t want to force it. So, it hasn’t happened. Is that strange? I feel like it is, and it’s making me anxious. Part of the problem is, she is far more attractive than I am. I try not to let that bother me, but it does.

I’ve waited for so long, I fell that when it does happen, it should be something special. Which leads me to my concern of the “Kiss Cam”. I don’t know how I should act, or how she is going to feel if put in that position in front of an arena full of people. People that may recognize her.

I suppose I should just ask her about the “Kiss Cam” eventuality, or the subject of our first kiss in general? She is either going to say “kiss me, you bonehead” or “get your ugly face away from me”.

Also, anything that you can say that will make me feel less like a prude would be helpful. :)

tl;dr:

I have been dating this girl for 3 months and haven’t kissed her yet. I am anxious about the possibility of being pressured into it publicly.

She should probably also ask herself why a grown man who's old enough to be out of college is trying to gently caress a high schooler, and what this says about his own maturity.

This is a sad reaction to have

quote:

In the past week, I've been called cute by three girls. Before this week, I [21M] have never received compliments like this in my entire life and always thought I was ugly, and I'm having trouble coming to terms with reality

I'm sorry if this isn't the right sub. I just don't know where else to go with this and any advice at all is very, very much appreciated.

So the short story is that for my entire life, I've always been overweight and was treated poorly throughout middle and high school. My friends from then were never real friends at all and girls were never interested in me. Because of past experiences, I'm now 21 and have a poor self image, low self esteem and low confidence and I've thought I'm ugly for the past few years now. I also all but likely have depression and social anxiety, although I haven't been professionally diagnosed. And on top of that, I have no friends at all and have no experience with things like dating or girls in general. In all, I can be summed up as someone with no social experiences and a terrible opinion of myself.

I've been trying to talk to more people, specially girls, over the last couple of years but especially over the last couple of weeks over social media apps. I've talked to some and had some decent connections and conversations. A few of them asked for a picture of me. I have never sent a picture of myself to anyone because it made me really anxious and nervous. However, I bit the bullet and sent it to the first girl who asked. I did it two more times with two other girls. Their response? Every single one said I was cute and two used the term "attractive" which left me in a bit of a shock.

I always have trouble accepting compliments and this one is no different, but it's kind of blown my mind a bit because I've never been described as those things before, and to be described as cute and attractive three times in a week by three different people is crazy to me. But now I'm at the point of not knowing how to deal with this. I've always held back talking to girls because I was worried I wasn't attractive enough and that I'd creep them out but this has me thinking whether or not this was all in my head and I'm actually more attractive than I think, and now I don't know what to do or how to use this newly revealed information. It's not going to turn me into an arrogant or over confident person so that's not my worry, I'm just a bit lost now because I've never had this happen before.

I don't really know what I'm asking here so I'm sorry for that. I'm just kind of lost so if anyone can say something about this or if anyone had a similar experience, your comments are appreciated.

Tl:dr- I've never received compliments on my appearance throughout my whole life which has led to some personal problems, but have received three from three different people in the last week and don't know how to handle it.

The weirdest part of the story is how the 38 year old woman he's "dating" still lives with her parents and apparently runs a successful business out of their house with dozens of clients???? I am so confused. They have to both be unbelievably sheltered Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses on the spectrum or parasite aliens or something. :psyduck:

Being close friends is not at all like "raised like siblings." They didn't share a home, for starters. Oh and you know, they're not genetically related.

Yes, you are the only one strangely creeped out by an adorable story that is in no way incest or even close. It's pretty ordinary for childhood friends to realize their attraction later in life. I know a recently engaged couple I grew up with in the same situation as lifelong almost-siblings, actually, but they are neither pregnant nor hiding it from their parents. They got engaged just last week after officially dating for only about a month because they, of course, knew exactly what they want and have known each since birth.

It just reminds me of BFFs who go off to college and room together because they've known each other since they were 2, so obviously they know everything about one another and it's going to be awesome the best thing ever, and then their friendship implodes within like two weeks because friendship is totally different than more committed forms of relationship.

It's also why some people get confused by the "friendzone". They don't realize that the qualities that make for a good friend can be radically different than those that make for a good partner. I have some friends who are a riot to hang out with from time to time, but they are complete assholes in some respects and I'd never want to share so much as a unicycle with them.

The only very, very stupid move they made is doing it without protection multiple times and going ahead with having the kid. On the other hand, it's absolutely not a stretch to be engaged in their situation. They've known each other all their lives, know exactly what they want out of their relationship, and appear to have successful jobs. Their parents probably wonder why they aren't together all the dang time. Maybe I'm biased because I've seen the same situation work out positively in the past, but I just don't see how they're going about it strangely. Besides the boneheaded boning without protection move.
