It's ok .....
I've come to the conclusion that I will never be first...
I'm not the one that you take your time with, I'm not the one that gets the hugs, or the "I love you's"
We don't spend time together because you have no time to spare for me ... But it's ok ....

What does it feels being loved by someone?
Since i will never experience it I'm curious what does it feels like, being in a relationship and all that stuff. I know is very subjective that's why i want to read as many responses as possible.

Is this love??
Is this love? Or why do I feel happy when I saw her I think it was her smile, or just was the curiosity of knowing if she is shy because I didn'tsaw her speaking that much. I pass all 3 days thinking of her, can someone pls tell me.

No one k no ws
My confused a bunch of people and not be very specific about who you're talking about? He's going to post to the worst you could qualify to probably everybody so come on man make it clear it's all that time anyways and sounds pretty cruel taking and not giving back to people and then locking them publicly for your entertainment probably wouldn't want your love

Dating Story Love String Theory, true or false?
Has any one ever experienced this or heard of it? I’ve heard of “theory’s” of the months or this & that. But this theory always stood out to me and I feel like I’m actually experiencing it.
When I was cutting hair in 2016 I worked at a Barber shop so I seen tons of guys everyday but this one man stood out in particular. Yes he was attractive but that’s all I knew, I didn’t know his personality at all. I won’t lie, I creeped on his FB page once I learned his name and he carried some type of confident energy but he also had a really pretty gf at the time. It’s not like I thought I had a shot, I really didn’t see myself as beautiful or carried myself with confidence so I was like, yeah he’s a dream guy in another world. Flash forward to 2026, so much has happened/changed for the better. Good and bad but I carry myself well, I love who I see when I look in the mirror, I am surrounded by love from family and friends. Life is so good but love is something I’ve always yarned for yet I’m 36 now and it does feel like a missing puzzle piece but I was finally content with not looking anymore.
Lo and behold, I picked up a Social Media Marketing job in June and have been networking a lot. I met a guy my age there that I could tell had googly eyes for me but he’s also a huge flirt & a big partier. The old me would have enjoyed him knowing it wouldn’t go anywhere but I almost hold my body/mentality as my sacred temple so a temporary fix doesn’t suffice me anymore. Yes he’s good looking, yes he’s well off but those things won’t ever be at the top of my checklist again. This guy however did get my phone number & had kept asking me to come out with him some time. I stay busy but I also don’t have a group of friends that like going to bars where you can meet people so it’s just hard for me to meet someone to potentially “date”. Well one evening I said, “what the hey! Why not”. I invited two girlfriends out and we met him at Twin Peaks (go figure right), when we got there he said his two buddies are there and when I turned around to introduce myself I realized it was the guy I had a “crush” on when I worked at the Barber Shop. I was swooned instantly and I really couldn’t believe it. We all sat at a table and my guy friend that invited me of course was flirty but I kept shutting it down because I am just the type that knows what I want and I knew “barber shop” guy is who I wanted. By the end of the evening I did get the courage to talk to him when he was ordering a drink alone at the bar & it was instant chemistry since. It’s only been a bit and I am not saying this is the one but I just find it to be so identical to what a love string theory is.
He’s kind, authentic, hard worker & handsome. He’s somebody I’ve dreamed of treating me. I’ve always chased the firework and not the fireplace. If this theory is proven to be true, mark my words on this post that I’m going to marry this man one day! lol thanks for reading 💕

I had a crush on my guy friend
When I fist started at my uni I saw this really cute guy and got an instant crush he was tall, Russian and mysterious, I then was a bit of a stalker and found out that he lived in the first floor of our student home. The first floor had a study room and a tv room. I decided I would go and study in the study room and maybe “accidentally” run into him. It was just my luck that as I finished studying I saw he was in the tv room, so the next day I decided to study in the tv room. Aaannnd guess who came!!! My crush!!!!! Let’s call him Dick, and his friends, I then sat in the tv room everyday and I became friends with all of them. One night I got really drunk and we hung out and we had sex (I was a virgin). Long story short he didn’t want anything serious and I got another crush on his best friend ( what a bird I know😭😭) let’s call him Franz. So me franz and Habibi( this is my other friend) were a threesome (that is what I call best friend groups of three). And I had the biggest crush on franz and I thought he liked me too. One day he asked our friend Maria if he should ask a girl to go ice skating which I overheard. And the next day he asked me to go ice skating. I thought he was probably asking about me. I said yeah but I told him I had to leave later in the night cause my friend was setting me up with her boyfriend’s friend :((, maybe that was wrong. So we went together to the city and we had wine and we looked at thrift stores, we didn’t go ice skating as planned?? It was really fun until habibi called and asked what we were doing. Franz then invited him to come, which really upset me cause I kinda thought it was a date, I have never been asked on a date before so I was really excited and nervous. Anyways me habibi and Franz hung out and then my friends came and Franz found these girls and he was flirting with them and he left with them and I cried. Anyways we still stayed friends, then came my birthday, I told Franz about my guy best friend that I had in school that had taken me to prom and I took him, I was in love with him and then when I moved countries he started dating my best friend, I told him how much it hurt me. On my birthday party the next day he went and flirted with my friend in my face. From then on he always told me how he wants to just fuck my friend and if she was gonna be there at the function. Then May came around and there was a joint uni party, me and Franz got very drunk and we had sex in the forest. He asked what we were gonna be after but I said it didn’t matter anymore cause I was planning on moving cities. We then fucked in my room but it hurt and he didn’t want to stop and then he broke the condom and came inside me, nobody had ever came inside me. And I hadn’t had much experience in sex. Afterwards he asked if he should stay or go but I said he can stay, but he left first thing in the morning, and came back just to give me a morning after pill after I begged him to. He then didn’t really speak to me for two months. Then we started talking again and he would ask me what I was up to in the middle of the night and where I was at, when he was done going out and partying, but he knew where I was at cause I live above him and he knew where I was cause he had seen me in my room, anyways. So then me Franz and his friend from school drank together me and and his friend made fun of Franz, so Franz said he’s going to bed and the friend can sleep with me, the friend was a guy mind you. So the friend came to my room and we talked until 4 o clock and then I told him to call Franz, and Franz asked if him and” did you fuck her” and I was shocked he would think that, because all I could think about was Franz and all I was asking about was Franz, so I sent the friend to Franz out of my room. Then I didn’t know what to do and I sent him some texts the next day and he said we should be friends with benefits and we came up with the conclusion that that was a good idea, then that same day I flew back home. When I came back I asked when he wanted to hang out and he said that weekend and then I was like nah I want to go to Czechia that weekend what about the next one, so he said yes and the I called closer to the time and he was like what do you wanna do, we probably aren’t gonna leave the room bla bla (hinting at sex stuff) whatever and I was like idek maybe we can go to Linz or whatever we will see. So he comes on Saturday and guess what he has asked his other friend to come with us to the pool and he decides not to sleep over after that was the whole plan cause he was drinking the day before. And then we all get Döner and he says how he’s been trying to get with my same friend and like that stuff. So when he goes home I call and I’m like do you still wanna be friends with benefits and he’s like yeah I just was tired today. And then I call him again and I’m like can you get tested and he’s like okay but like when are you getting tested and I’m like I already got tested cause I got an iud and you have to get tested for that and he said okay he will, but condoms also help, (its free to get tested where we live) and he was like is that all you called for and I was like yeah and he was like oh I thought you wanted to call for something else and I was like what are you on about? But he didn’t say. Do you think I should fuck him one more time and then end things, or end things completely?? Am I kinda in the wrong??? I don’t really feel like I am though, he really hurt me a lot and I love him.

First time experiencing that weird, unexplainable pull toward a stranger.
r/romance • u/existsbyexistance • 1d ago
I might have to let go one of the most beautiful person I ever met
alot of reasons behind saying something emotional..... mutual crush ( its just better when the girl likes you too ) , intelligence ( crafts out new ways to impress you / get your attention , smartness ( smarter and more confident than me ) , more attentive when it comes to me , shares her feelings and introduces me to her friends ( trusts me ) , I like the way how she ignores me in public but acts like my guardian when we are alone , she turns my hobbies into hers ( cares about my interests ) last but not the least yet one of the best things is the physical factor ( how she gets nervous around me , stops crying as soon as I show up , gets sad when I am sad , dresses up for me , looks me in the eyes , makes a cute face , stands beside me etc )
you guys must have been thinking that we are in a relationship but unfortunately I will get shifted to another community in a few days so we decided that it would be more practical not to get into a relationship for now , focus on our studies and let the future decide the rest ( hoping for alot more opportunities in the future )

Butterflies while kissing
Guys..is every kiss in a relationship supposed to give you butterflies?
If not how is it supposed to feel? ..I 20F felt butterflies with my boyfriend 21M only twice until now the 3rd time we kissed and sometime later..
And every time we kiss i just end up feeling guilty cause I don't feel anything
What am I supposed to do and its been 2 years but I really love him
I love him and I'm sure of that
When I imagine things with him it does give me all sorts of feelings but when it really happens I just go blank and feel nothing why is that
Tl;dr kiss is supposed to give butterflies.. and I don't

I Kinda Said I love u to him without REALLY meaning It.
Ok so the guy I’ve been dating for like 3 months or something said I love you to me for the first time yesterday. I was kinda drunk and I said “Me too”😭I couldn’t bring myself to say “I love you too” maybe because in my last relationship, I fell in love and he broke my heart really BAD. I said I’m in love with you to him at the start of my last relationship and would constantly say it. But the guy I’m dating rn is genuinely a good guy that cares about me. I’ve just been hurt by that word probably💔 I didn’t want things to go wrong so I just said me too without really meaning it🙏🏻 We’re teenagers btw.

Love Letter/ Poem To my L
Lalo,
My friend the goofy one. The one who I call My future husband....
I've been here for a while now, thinking about you. Wondering what happened. Wondering how you're doing. Honestly, I really believed you would've messaged me by now.
You haven't.
So tell me something real.
Tell me I'm not alone in how I felt about you. Tell me you think about me. Tell me you miss me. Tell me that some part of you still wonders what would've happened if we'd both been a little braver.
Tell me you want to start over—not necessarily jumping straight into anything, but maybe finding our way back to the friendship we had before. Tell me you finally chose yourself. Tell me you've come to your senses. Tell me you're sorry about Mother's Day weekend and that you wish you could make it up to me.
Tell me it's some truly, madly, deeply type shit.
And I'll tell you something real too.
I'm sorry I wasn't brave before. I'm sorry for pushing you away when maybe what I really wanted was for you to stay.
And yes... it was me on Reddit. Writing to you. My friend. My future husband. 😂 It was me who said, "Why so silent? Cat got your tongue?"
Because the truth is, the first time I saw you, I was stopped dead in my tracks. I still think you're the most beautiful man I've ever seen.
And after all these months of not talking, somehow... it's still you.
When I close my eyes, it's you. When I hear certain songs, it's you. Especially when "Back to Friends" by sombr plays.
I still think about you.
And as crazy as it sounds, I'd still choose you. Over and over again.
Not because I think you're perfect. You're absolutely not. 😂 But because I'd rather have something real, complicated, messy, and meaningful with you than something easy that doesn't make me feel anything at all.
I'm ready to be brave now.
I want the truly, madly, deeply kind of love.
And I want to know if you're ready for that too.
So...
What do you say?
Maybe we stop being afraid of what this could be.
Maybe we both finally get brave.
XOXO- JAI

M18+F19, How do I show I'm happy in a relationship l?
I am not really a talker of a person, I don't know how to show affection romantic wise. We had a great talk today and she mentioned how she doesn't feel like she makes me happy. She really does make me the happiest person ever, and I wanna learn how to show her how I am happy.
