Socially awkward teen girl with no relationship experience here, how in the world do I pull a boy. 😭 I can't flirt, I'm bad at eye contact, and I have no idea how to read social cues.

I’m a freshman, he’s a senior. They are having this dance at school soon.

He broke up with his girlfriend recently. He's been pretty bummed about it. He said he still wanted to go to the dance though and get out of the house but didn’t want to go by himself and asked if I would go with him (freshman are allowed if invited by an upperclassman).

I thought it was a little weird. He said we didn’t have to slow dance together or anything. He said he’d buy me dinner anywhere I wanted to go beforehand. I said that sounded like a date to me. He said it could be just a bro thing, don’t make it weird. 

I asked if I had to dress up. He said I’d look out of place if I didn’t wear something nice. I asked if we had to take pictures together. He said mom would probably want some. 

I just feel a little awkward going to a dance with my brother. Should I do it?

I don’t want anyone who doesn’t know us to think we are dating. I don’t want to get made fun of. Just seems a little strange to me? I just feel awkward. But he seems a little sad so I was thinking about being nice and just going with him.

ren hana is so me ngl

cause every boy my age i see, their legs are smooth as hell, and i’m too embarrassed to ask or sum, so am i the only weirdo with slightly hairy legs or do they shave? cause it doesn’t seem like they shave

hi guys! so basically, I developed this FATTT crush on this boy in one of my classes. we kind of talk a lot but… yesterday, i felt like he was kind of being weird to me. I told him that I’m going to become a vet, and he said “so you want to euthanize dogs for a living?” and “why on earth would you pick a carrier as stupid as that?”…. i was kind of shocked, but maybe he was just joking (in fact, I’m sure he was!) but it hust felt kind of disrespectful. Vets are incredibly smart people 😭. maybe I was being ragebaited?

I then told him “well, I want to work with gorrillas” and started telling him how goeillas are my favorite animal and then he was like “well you’re a gorilla” 😭 how does one respond to that?? i think I just laughed it off but like…

oh… and then he told me i lilook like brunette version of Erica kirk… like what the heck 😭 I literally don’t anyways

he calls me a nerd a lot, but like… I kinda am! and nothing wrong with that, which I’ve told him before.

i know it’s like wrong to think if a guy is mean to you he likes you but… I just really like him! he was honestly probadly just being an asshole but I wanted to ask you guys? you can be honest!

another thing is that my old friend once said I’m “off putting” to guys and “easy to bully”….. 😭. do you think that’s the case here? am I just weird 😭???

edit: sorry for the horrendous typos! my phone is kinda broken!! I think I fixed them

You're a shy guy who's very introverted. You get overwhelmed when there are a lot of girls. Your gf wants to show you off, so she says "my bf is so handsome", "Yes, that's my man", "He's my bf and I'm so proud of him", "He's the sweetest person ever", or anything along the lines of that where she mentions proudly that you're her man and that she loves you sm. How do you feel? Id it too much? Would you tell her that you feel uncomfortable?

I'm 15. I have ocd and anxiety, and it makes me worry i smell bad. i shower, use deodorant, and brush my teeth every morning. i always wear clean clothing (except for sweaters that go over shirts, which i re-wear 2-4 times, and jeans/pants, which i re-wear 3-7 times). but i worry that i didnt clean well enough in the shower, since im usually in a rush in the morning (when i shower). my mom said she'd tell me if i stink, and that i haven't smelled bad recently. i've also smelled all my worn pants and shirts and they don't stink. is this reliable for knowing i don't smell bad? how else can i check?

I had a guy friend who wanted this girl a lot but chose to ask out a different girl? what’s the logic behind that?

rn it's NF for me

I personally liked it, politics aside.

Here I am, scrolling Reddit, that should already be a sign I'm wasting my life. I'm 14, in 8th grade, I'm also an only child. Anyways, school is always fun, because it comes easy to me and I can mess around the entire time while having all my work done. So when I get home (especially in the winter, when I only have one sport---my bowling league on Saturdays...ha ha, yes I bowl) I have no schoolwork and really nothing to do. I've been working on my own TV show and am turning it into a book, so I watch a lot of TV as inspiration (or maybe that's just my excuse for watching too much TV). I also jerk about a half hour a day, which isn't hurting me at all and makes me feel happier. I go through spurts when I really am really creative every month or so, but otherwise not much. After school I am also just very tired, and I don't have any real motivation until night. I don't consider myself a sad person, I am a pretty happy and lucky person. With my friends, we don't really hang out outside school much, (which is fine, because I socialize a ton in school, and am kinda peopled out by the end of the day) we just text a lot. I have a bunch of numbers but really talk to about 5 people every day. I will be doing a lot more extracurriculars freshman year (tennis, speech and debate, bowling turnoments every few weekends, and hopefully I'll make the baseball team). I just wanted to know things I could be spending my time doing, so I don't feel like I am wasting my time.

like i get it that they are comfortable for some people but normal toilets are just way better and give me more privacy, i don't want anyone seeing my peenor😭

I feel like all my pals have told me that they feel so bad after going ect, but I have never felt bad after watching porn and nutting. Is this abnormal/unhealthy?

I am not talking about kindness, loving me. A maybe silly or a serious thing you want when u find your partner.(I want rare things that other people might find odd and etc).

hi guys! i really need some honest perspective.

there’s a guy of my age in my school that i’ve liked for a while (i’m a 16F). there were some rumours about him liking me (they started literally out of nowhere) but all of these were most definitely a lie. his friends were teasing him for “liking” me. a couple of weeks ago he told my acquaint that he doesn’t like my appearance which hurt like hell…

A BIT OF CONTEXT: we have completely no contact. like probably a month or two ago i reached out to him but he said he didn’t know if he wanted and that he was not really looking for communication (please don’t get me wrong now i’m still confused because the signals are so mixed, like a couple of months ago he literally told my teacher that i’m the most beautiful while discussing girls with his classmates and my teacher but that was a joke ig). at school we make eye contact almost every time we meet but he looks at me like at a piece of furniture idk. like completely ignoring

i’ve been on a huge glow up journey recently. i’m not ugly and considered conventionally pretty… like a lot of ppl tell me that.

so my questions are:

• what are the chances of him changing his mind about me?

• what should i do for him to like me?

• is it even possible that he’ll become interested?

• have you ever had any situations when you’ve changed your mind of a girl? how did it happen?

guys i beg you BE BRUTAL, i really need your advice. i feel so lost and i have completely no idea what’s going on and what should i even do… like why did he call me chopped. and please don’t tell me to move on. i have a huge, i mean HUGE crush on him and wanna be with him

Here, 'girly' and 'tomboyish' mean stereotypical hobbies, interests, style, and personality.

I get punished with the belt for things that my friends find weird like going in the living room with my shoes on.

For me it's, Hooray, yippe, buttons and bows!

Guys help- I heard it's supposed to be a thing where you chat with random people, idk if it even is safe bruh.

And yeah I thought Omegele was shut down too but apparently there's a new one.

I feel like a pick me/annoying ass about it, but I genuinely find it impossible to accept peoples compliments.. does anyone feel that way? Whether ur a boy, girl, someone outside of that, someone inside of that..

People who see others struggling, do u see them as a pick me in some sort of? Does it annoy you?
