Hello mga kababayan, ngayon I kukuwento ko sainyo ang aking STE story at ang title na Ito ay ang maling akala Ito ay base sa totoong storya ko.
Ako ang gumawa ng kuwento na Ito at ngayon ay grade 7 pa lamang ako huwala ako masyadong kilala SA aking mga kaklase at wala akong kaibigan subalit noong sinubukan ko uli mag roblox nakilala ko ang pinaka kaibigan ko SA roblox at yon ay si jam(Di ko na ilalagay user for privacy reason) siya ay aking isang kaibigan SA online game na Roblox Kami ay nag lalaro halos araw araw ng pet simulator X at Kami ay laging sinusubukan lumakas sa laro na yon hanggang na kamit na namin ang aming pangarap na maging mayaman at malakas sa laro na iyon. Subalit ang lahat na iyon ay huminto nuong lumakas na Kami hindi na Kami masyadong nag lalaro dahil para samin ay tapos na ang aming pangarap at nag simulang mag labo, na kaming dalawa ay mag laro at dumating sa puntong hinde ako nag Roblox Ng matagal dahil aa online class iniwan ko muna ang online games para mag aral Ng mabuti at nuong natapos na ang 2nd quarter bumalik ako sa roblox at nakita ko siyang nag lalaro kaya sumali ako pag ka join ko agad siyang nag chat Kung bakit hinde ako nag laro ng matagal, sinabi ko sakanya ang lahat, naintindihan Naman niya at nag laro Kami Ng matagal. Ngayon punta Naman tayo SA ora's na ikinasaya at ikinasira Ng buhay ko, nuong half 3rd quarter na ang aming akademya sinubukan Kong mag seen sa aming online gc na hinde ako nag chachat, at first time ko mag chat nag hi ako tapos may mga bumati saakin don ko rin nakilala si Cedi ang aking naging unang kaibigan. Dahil ako ay may depression nuon at wala akong confidence na makipag usap kahit kanino sa aking kamagag aral. Nag bago ang aking buhay nuong sinubukan ko makipag socialize sa aking mga kaklase at duon sumaya ang aking buhay nakilala ko sina Cedi,Mark, Lawrence,Aaron. naging kaibigan ko sila, Sila ang dahilan ng pagkasaya ng aking buhay subalit ang iba ay nagdulot Ng pagkasira Ng aking buhay. Ngayon punta Naman na Tayo SA recognition day dahil wala Naman importanteng nangyari SA ibang quarter na iyon, nuong pag punta namin SA recognition day nakita ko ang aking mga kaklase at may nakita akong isang magandang babae siya ay Maputi,tahimik,maganda,at siya ay napaka tahimik akala ko nuon siya ay high standards. After ng recognition pag Ka uwi chinat ko agad si Jarsen, aking kaibigan noon. Dahil alam kong siya ang maaring makakakilala sakanya at nuong Una tinanong ko sakanya Kung sino Yong Maputing naka salamin na tahimik na babae at duon ko na nalaman na ang pangalan niya ay ******* nag Ka gusto ako sakanya nuong after Ng recognition day, at lipat naman tayo sa sept 23 7:08pm nag chat ako sakanya dahil nabuo ko na ang aking confidence at nag chat back siya, ayon nag chat kami araw araw Kami nag chachat at sinabi ko kay Sha na crush ko siya at hinde ko akalain na nuong sept 27 ni block ako ni ****, at ako ay halos laging nag papa send Kay Aaron ng mga message tulad Ng Kung ano ang dahilan Ng pag block, pag sorry ko maski wala akong kasalanan,at iba pa subalit, after ilang months ng pighati nalaman ko lang na pinagkalat pala ni Sasha na crush ko siya at nag sabi siya ng mga hinde totoong impormasyon about saakin at ang mga ibang tao ay nagbago ang pag tingin saakin dahil sa pangyayaring iyon. Inakala Ng ibang tao na, nasa gc Kung Saan kinalat ni Sha na ako ay racist,homophobic,etc. Ito ay nagbigay sakin nang masaklap na insecurities, depression, lost of confidence, etc. Ako ay nagalit ng sobra nuong araw na iyon at nag chat agad ako Kay Sha noong ona tinatanggi niya. Pero nag send ako Ng MGA proofs na kinalat niya at nuong una tinuring niyang as a joke yoong ginawa niya at wala siyang pake dahil hinde niya alam kung gaano kalaki maaapektohan ang aking buhay sa kaniyang ginawa ni block ko siya at ako ay laging nag ra-rant kila Aaron at Cedi about doon sa nangyari at tinutulungan naman nila ako. Ngayon naman ay malapit na matapos ang grade 8 subalit nuong December Kami ay nagusap uli ni **** at tumagal ito Ng mahigit tatlong buwan at muntik na kami naging magkaibigan sa personal dahil sinabi ko sakanya Kung pwede ako makipag usap sakanya sa personal sapagkat siya na lang ang aking kaklase na hinde ko pa nakakausap sa personal at siya naman ay sumang ayon na gawin ko ang itong plano ko subalit hinde ko magawa-gawa ito dahil pag sinusubukan ko na kausapin siya subalit bumabalik dila ko dahil hinde ko mabuo ang confidence na makipag usap sakanya, kaya sa chat na lamang ako nakikipag usap sakanya. Subalit nuong march 3 last ko na chat at hinde ako nag chat ng march 4 at march 5 sapagkat ito ay sabado linggo at mami ay lumabas. Nuong march 5 Ng Gabi nakita ko na unavailable na ang kayang account SA akin at ibig sabihin non ay ni block niya ako ule ako, ako ay nanahimik na lamang at hinde na ako umasa uli na ako ay I unblock or kausapin uli. Sinabi ko ito kay Aaron at siya ay nabigla ren dahil maayos naman ang aming pag kakaibigan at walang impormasyon Kung bakit ulit ako ni block. Ngayon naman ay malapit na matapos ang school year 2022-2023 at hanggang ngayon hinde ko na kinausap si ******* muli at ako ay hanggang ngayon walang confidence at balak na kausapin siya sapagkat nahihiya na ako sakanya dahil SA aking nakaraan malapit na ang recognition SA tingin niyo ba may part 2?? Sa tingin ko wala pero hinde natin malalaman ang ating kinabukasan kung hinde tayo pupunta dito. At Yan ang aking grade 8 life ako ay kasulukuyan na masaya dahil SA aking mga kaibigan at hanggang ngayon may poot parin ako kay ******* dahil sa nakaraan salamat sa iyo Kung umabot Ka dito ako ay lubos na masaya dahil na labas ko na ang aking mga nararamdaman salamat ule at paalam SA iyo kababayan. Magandang Gabi kababayan, ngayon ay ako ay nasa ika-9 na baitang na. Madaming nangyari bago matapos ang recognition Ng aming ika-8 na baitang. Bago matapos ang recognition, si Jamal II, ang dati Kong kaibigan ay biglang nag open up sakin, na siya raw ay nag kaka gusto sakin, kung di niyoko kilala, ako ay isang taong hinde alam Kung paano ang gagawin ko pag may mga sitwasyong ganito. Hinde ko na lang pinansin at nanahimik na lamang ako. Sinabi ko Kay Aaron ang nangyari at tinulungan niya akong maka lipas sa problemang Ito. Ngayong pasukan, hinde ko na pinapansin si Jamal II, sapagkat ako'y nakakaramdam ng Sama Ng loob dahil nararamdaman ko na ako ay pinipilit nuong panahong iyon na magustuhan si Jamal II. 3rd week pa lng Ng aming klase, at hanggang ngayong araw hinde ko na muli kinausap si ****, itutuloy ko iyong storya na Ito hanggat sa graduation Ng junior high school. Dito ninyo malalaman lahat Ng aking pinag dadaanan SA buhay, kung pighati ba, pag mamahal, pag kakaroon Ng sama ng loob, isyu, at iba pa.

Ako'y nag babalik mga idol parehas parin na gabi at ngayon gabi ay gusto ko lng masabi ang aking mga nararamdaman. Wala pong confession dito dahil wala naman po akong crus,h almost 1 year na po akong walang crush, pero ang timeline po ng crush mo eh biglaan na lang po ako nag kaka crush sa isang babae randomly at mostly after a few years every time ako nag kaka crus. Mga anim pa lng crush ko buong buhay ko at ni isa doon di ako nag confess dahil ako yong tipong may crush pero ayaw ma crush back dahil ayoko ng relationship, since bata pa ako at hinde ko pa alam ang sarili ko pag dating sa relasyon at mga nararamdaman ko sa mga nagugustuhan ko as a crush.... pero sa ngayon ang aking hinala eh mga senior high or collage na uli ako mag kaka crush dahil wala na akong feelings na mag ka crush ulit sa ibang tao, btw may ikuwento pa ako sainyo guys, si ******* pa lamang ang aking crush na talaga kong minahal, like as in, sa lahat ng naging crush ko siya pa lamang ang nakaramdan talaga ako ng pag mamahal papunta sakanya siya pa lamang ang aking crush na talaga akong nag ka feelings at hinde lamang dahil nagandahan ako, well sa tingin ko nangyari ito since matured na ako ngayon di tulad dati, at mas na iintindhan ko na ang relasyon since ako ay isang teenager na. grabe guys itong gabi na ito andami kong nasulat dahil pag dating talaga sa feelings ko eh hinde ko na napipigilan sarili ko mag salita kapag kinakausap ko sarili ko pag dating sa mga pag kakamali ko sa buhay..... marami akong pag kakamali, pero wala na tayong magagawa doon dahil lahat ng nangyari ay may dahilan at sa huli mo malalaman.

Hey all, like many others here, I haven’t had much luck with dating apps so I thought I’d give this a shot.
First, a little about me. I recently graduated with my bachelor’s in computer science, and plan to work in video game development. In my free time, I enjoy gaming, reading, watching movies/TV, etc. I just really love stories and that’s a big part of why I want to make video games. I want to create things that can have an impact on people’s perception of the world. I love love love animals, but unfortunately don’t have any right now (send me pet pics?). I generally try to be optimistic and lighthearted. I think you’d find it’s not hard to make me laugh. And gonna be honest, I also tend to be pretty quiet and shy in person. Haha, that’s another reason I’m searching here, over text/online, it’s much easier to be a decent conversationalist. A few other important details, I’m liberal/left. I’m atheist. I’m monogamous, and in the future, I’d eventually want children of my own. Like everyone else, there’s of course a lot more to me, but that’ll be easier to learn via talking haha
Now I suppose I should address my title. So, long story short, I was born with a condition called Spinal Muscular Atrophy, which basically means all my muscles are extremely weak and I use an electric wheelchair for getting around. To give you something to compare it to, I am slightly more able than someone like Stephen Hawking. I don’t need any robo voice to speak (although robo voices are kinda cool ngl), I have good use in my hands, and a tiny little bit in my arms, but virtually no strength in my legs, hence the wheelchair haha. And I still have full sensation in my entire body, unlike some people who use a wheelchair due to say, paralysis. Hopefully that gives you a bit of an idea about my disability. You’re totally welcome to ask any questions you might have.
if you’ve read this far, sorry for being so goddamned wordy haha, here’s a pupper for your valiant efforts 🐶
Overall, I’m looking for someone who’s got some common personality traits or interests as me. A nerd that I could gush about games with. Someone who can find humor in the silliest, simple things. Someone I can grow with. I want to find a partner, to have a long, loving relationship with. I know it might be a little unconventional to date a guy in a wheelchair, but that’d just mean you’re an unconventional person, which is actually really fucking cool. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi everyone! I'm Garrett, and I'm looking for a long term romantic relationship. I'll be including whatever information I can to hopefully give a good enough impression of myself. If after reading you think we might get along feel free to send me a DM and we can go from there. I'm perfectly happy to message, voice chat, or video call. I'm also open to doing other things like playing games, watching movies/shows, exchanging songs, or other things in that nature at least to start. I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
What I'm Looking for in a Relationship:
For me I think a relationship in it's simplest form is vibes mixed with trust. The way I see it now dating and relationships are kind of warped by social media and all of that constant exposure. It seems like we're getting to a place where we treat each other as commodities rather than people. In my opinion, the material things another person has are pretty meaningless in regards to relationship compatibility. I think that what matters are things like empathy, trust. vulnerability, and communication. However building all of those take time and effort, but lead to an actual long term foundation in my opinion. Other things do matter of course, but if you're willing to form real connection with someone I think a lot of the stuff outside of the more personal and emotional connection doesn't matter as much. So I want someone who has the same thought process at least in that regard where you're trying to connect with a person and go from there building a life together. Not because they have something you want, but because you think they're amazing! So if there was someone you wanted to spend you're time in this dystopian world with It'd be them. Ya know the person you're always excited to see at the end of the day, and who you know has your back no matter what. Relationship philosophy aside, ideally I like having physical contact at least to a degree if we were to meet or live together eventually. I'm fine with holding hands, hugs, cuddles, kissing, and things like that. I'm not sex repulsed, but have legit zero interest in it myself. I do experience aesthetic attraction so it would be nice to see who is on the other side of a message fairly early. That being said it's only a part of it, how we interact and get along is the majority of it.
My Potential Deal Breakers :

• I live in the United States (Michigan)
• Currently live with my parents (have no debt, cook, clean, take care of myself, and have my own money)
• Not super into travel (but will take vacations sometimes)
• I don't drink or smoke
• Not religious in any way (maybe Agnostic at best)
• Might occasionally make a dark/cursed joke
• Gamer
• Watches Anime sometimes
• A little blunt sometimes

My Preferences :

• I'm fine with LDR as long as we can meet up sometimes or eventually close the gap entirely ( feel free to reach out from anywhere in the world)
• I would prefer you to be in the age range of 27-33
• Preferably not a heavy drinker (some alcohol is fine)
• No smoking of any kind ( I don't have an issue with weed, but the smell gives me an instant headache)
• Have some common interests
• Speak English as I unfortunately only know one language for now

Hobbies & Interests :

• Reading- I've been obsessed with books since I was a child and still love them! (fantasy and sci-fi are my preferred genres, send any book recommendations)
• Gaming- Similar to reading I've been a gamer since age 5, my first gaming memory is playing Age of Empires II at 5am before school. (A few I currently play are HSR, League, BG3, and Palworld)
• D&D- This is a newer addition as far as playing, but I love it so much! I play in a two weekly campaigns, plus I get to practice voice acting while having fun in a roleplay game. It's probably my favorite hobby at the moment. (Watch Critical Role on Thursday nights as well)
• Exercise- Enjoy doing calisthenics and mobility based exercises, but have also started training for doing distance running.
• Archery- Another on brand since childhood activity, but I'm not as diligent about it as I used to be. Still fun, but I use it more as a chill activity now.
• History- Really big fan of learning about most history, mythology, legends, and such. Documentaries are a good time to me! (small preference to Rome, Ancient Egypt, Medieval Europe, Imperial China, and Feudal Japan)
• Drawing- I very occasionally make time to draw, but I'd like to get more consistent. I take forever to draw anything, it's rough.
• Movies/TV/Anime- Happy to watch anything and give it a try, this has been a good year so far for entertainment. I've finished Shogun, Fallout, and started on Acolyte. There are more I want to get to and I'm really looking forward to Arcane season 2 in the fall! (A few favorites are LOTR, Scott Pilgrim vs The World, Horimiya, Hellsing Ultimate, Game of Thrones, Hazbin Hotel, Arcane, and Stargate)
• Gardening- Brand new this year I took over all of my mom's flower beds for her and I'm really enjoying taking care of them. I have a book of notes on how to take care of each flower and a calendar for watering schedule. I wouldn't have guessed it would be something I would enjoy, but I'm loving it!
• Music- My music taste is somewhat random, but I'm happy to share random songs of off my playlist anytime. I'm always happy to listen to song suggestions as well. ( I think my nostalgia for alt rock is something that will always stay though)

Quirks & Other Random Nonsense :

• I'll randomly talk out loud to myself
• I like to sing poorly (sorry)
• Really enjoy voice acting so random voices can and will happen if I'm comfortable with you
• I have a really bad sensory response to chalk ( if it touches me or if I hear it being used to write, even thinking about the sound or feeling of it can be enough)
• I'm very sensitive to sound
• May zone out randomly
• Beyond thrilled to have random conversations about anything and everything, the weirder the better!
• It's insanely impractical, but I still think a Dragon would be the best pet!
• I go between glasses and contacts depending on activity
• I haven't done it yet, but I want to have my nails professionally done at least once to try it
• Love learning about almost anything

Pets :

• One 21 year old cat named Jersey (pictures can be provided)

The End :

Thanks for looking!
   

Debating divorcing my wife. I’m 34m she’s 34f no kids and neither want kids. I’ll try to keep this concise as I can, I’m not sure what to do, all my friends and family I know who’ve been through this type of deal… bringing it up could upset the apple cart should I decide not. My family is catholic so divorce is a no no, but if it’s the best course I’ll pursue it as I m not, and already the black sheep. the animal subs and relationship subs are murky on all this.
Long story short I met my now wife when we were teenagers through a mutual friend she used to date in school. They split, but we stayed cordial/friendly when we ran into each other around town, college etc. in our late 20s we found each other on a dating site and had similar interests/life goals and started dating. We used to adventure, while her social abilities/requirements for day to day are much lower than mine,she didn’t mind I was an extrovert to her introvert, cause the big events we were together. We got serious just before the pandemic, and during the limited social engagement of the time it worked out. We did the occasional outdoor big event because of our jobs. I bought a house in a lower middle class neighborhood with her input but no financial input, granted I had a conversation with a mortgage co rep and I’m not sure what her status on the house is as it was years ago during newly wed bliss idk if she’s added to the mortgage or just an authorized user. Will that matter as I bought it as a single man? She didn’t help with down payment or any of the financials til we got married beside paying me to help with bills while she moved in even then aside from a few pieces of furniture she hasn’t paid for repair or anything big on the house.
We got married at the end of lockdown in 2021 out of state where it was a quick only invite immediate family in a small “chapel” type deal. My family is huge and complicated and religious despite me being not, and her family is small and slightly religious. Only two people showed up for the short notice wedding, one buddy of mine and his wife as the announcement and invite was very short notice.
Things started off good. The first 6 months of marriage was good besides the credit card debt, but neither of us expected inflation to go so out of control. We and I especially overspent on the first six months between the honeymoon, our living expenses, and a small vacation I ended up in almost 20k in debt assuming the economy would even out she has about 10k plus her car. She lost her good job that paid as much as mine and now makes considerably less after we spent most of our lives together earning about the same.
We wanted a pet, I’ve preferred cats, she liked a dogs more than cats, I preferred cats but didn’t hate dogs. She ended up getting a bisalp over me getting a vasectomy at the time because of our jobs insurance, so I let her take the lead on pet adoption. We adopted a mixed breed hound from the shelter, turns out the dog is 100% hunting purebred, and has been a nightmare since. He grew 35lbs since we adopted him and ended up being about 90lbs. She can’t afford training and neither can I. Im too soft spoken as a person for the dog to respect me, he’s is a nightmare on walks and after having issues with feeling like he will tear my shoulder, and sit in the middle of the road before the walk is done early I can’t walk him. This dog requires expensive limited ingredient food, trazadone to the tune of about 25$ a month, and allergy meds.
It’s been nearly 3 years since we adopted this dog, and our quality of life has degraded severely, mine more than hers. When I got Covid a few months after we adopted him, I stayed in the basement to avoid giving it to my wife, so now when one of us goes into the basement (supposed to be my game/music area) He freaks out. I’m now forced to either listen to him howling, or stay on the main floor where there’s not enough room for my gear. In fact just me playing my preferred instrument of choice without an amp drives the dog up a wall, I’ve barely played music since we adopted him, unless the dog is sound asleep or medicated I have a hard time playing. I spent my teens/20s playing music and was looking forward to playing again once I had a bit of stability. Between him being him, and my wife working nights music is off the table unless I can find a way to set a small non amp setup in the cramped guest bed. He’s attempted to bite multiple visitors, we’ve finally figured out how to let him be cool with a singular visitor but it’s a process with treats. Having an open house with multiple people is out of the question. My friends never want to come over, one even mentioned that in the early days he was strapped and was ready to pull, as calming him down was a struggle behind the gate.he’s better with single guests, we haven’t had a group since we adopted him besides once and he wasn’t allowed downstairs where we played games, and was restricted by a gate.my wife has mentioned she won’t give him up to a shelter as with his aggression and abuse from his first owner his going to be a problem to adopt out, and will likely get put down.
She can’t afford to pay her bills and send them to training, I can’t on principle try sending them to training with our house needing the ac fixed and electrical work done, as well as the gutter and roof needing repair soon. The dog sends my anxiety through the roof, tires both of us, and has a huge negative impact on our sexuality.
Today for example I spent 45 minutes talking to a neighbor two houses down, and the dog lost it as I wasn’t in view and a stranger shows up on our porch. My wife was mad that I spent 45 minutes talking to a neighbor about the neighborhood and life in general, as well as the bank owned house nearby and changed made since it became bank owned, typical neighbor stuff. She also suggested I don’t go on a boys weekend to a cabin down south as the only dog sitter we have is her father with no license, and getting him to watch him two weekend in a row was unlikely so I should just choose one. If I go the route of it’s the dog or me, I’m 99% sure it’ll mean our divorce now or soon, but I love my wife, just hate the dog, the thought of losing my home, my wife keeps me going back to how long can the dog lives before he dies of natural causes? Because losing this house isn’t an option, he’s not evil just abused an reacting, I love my wife and if waiting 5 years and putting up with this over starting from scratch could be worth it. I’m lost, scared, and mad, getting a mediocre job in my 30s was supposed to lead me to stability and with no kids maybe early or at least actual retirement and travel . Instead I have to ask permission to take a weekend trip, be not at home when he needs his meds and my wife can’t administer. It’s scary that being single seems better than being with a woman I love because her baggage (the dog and not being so career driven) means we can’t enjoy our 30s or bank as much retirement. I’m not rich by any means I only make 50k in gym 30. I’m just lost.

16m Myanmar. So on the 3rd of may, I went up to a stray cat and tried petting it and it bit me on my left hand and right. Bite was around a half a cm deep. I knew that we have bats flying around every night around my house so I freaked out, "what if it had rabies". Many dogs around here died of rabies but I assumed I had at least a few days without the vaccine.
Cat bite - may 3rd Date of Shots. May 5th 2x shots, / 24th,/ 2nd of June.
2 days goes by. May 5th. Went to hospital and Took 2 shots on both of my arms. Here's where my ignorance might've killed me. Doc told me to come back on the. After 7 days. But I didn't. And another week goes by and I'm on the 14th day. Still didn't take the shot. Cuz I thought It was nothing. Only then I start developing this fever on the 20th of may, it wouldn't go away. It's just high body temp. No other symptoms. But a slight headache.
So I took another shot on the 24th and the doc renewed My schedule. And I freaked out cuz I thought what if I have rabies. And died so young. So I started panicking and stressing out of my mind to the point I can't sleep for days.
After a few days, the headache started to worsen and I get this sensation, like my blood vessels are about to Burst. And I also got tingling feeling on both of my hands, lasted for a few hours.
Now I'm here, on the 9th of June 2024. I have this feeling of something's stuck just under to my larynx, also a sore throat that goes and comes back. When I check my throat with a mirror I saw yellioish little bumbs as well. _ Throat spasms started mild but now I can hardly breathe sometimes. I can drink water and eat well with good apatite But I keep having spasms on my throat and it's killing me, I can't breath much. I can shallow my own saliva, but it's hard to. Feels like you can't sometimes. And right when I wake up from a sleep, the spasms is not as intense but right after I eat a meal it just comes flooding back with intense spasms, but I can drink. Also I have random twitchings throughout the day.
S - I started having symptoms of rabies 20 days ago. And started having sore throat and spasms for about 3 - 6 days now.
If anyone can knows if I really have rabies or I'm just tripping balls. Thank you all. 💓🤞

Hi y'all!
I'm from Canada. Looking to make friends from all over the world!
I'm chronically ill & disabled, so I spend a lot of time online throughout the day.
I love horror, good coffee, my pets, reading, and listening to podcasts (mostly true crime). I love reserching and keeping up to date on psychology, sociology, criminology, anthropology disability studies, and women and gender studies.
Looking forward to the replies

I(39F) matched on tinder with a man(41M) about a month ago who started off our conversation extremely verbose and explaining what he's looking for in a relationship. I got smitten quick because he is exactly my type and basically just described what I'd call a healthy relationship and it made me sad he wants what I consider the bare bones when he seems like an amazing catch, imo. Tall, thin, handsome, non-smoker, no kids, has a good job, a house, helps out his mom a lot on her farm, good sense of humor, etc. he's apparently had some pretty toxic relationships and maybe become a bit jaded.
We talked for a while and I couldn't help but notice how much he reminded me of one of my exes. Their face structure and bodies are just so similar. He was by far the ex who I've had the most sexual chemistry with. And there's just something about the way he talks that's similar even though their personalities are very different. But I couldn't help but feel somewhat connected to him because of that.
We were about to meet up for a date for the first time when suddenly his elderly dog had to be put to sleep. I just went through that 3 months ago and it absolutely wrecked me. I'm still not fully healed from it, probably wont ever be. He was my first dog as an adult and he was with me through so much. Often he was the only thing keeping me going during the worst of my depression and I was so absolutely devastated to lose him. I did a lot of research on how to grieve a pet and it honestly helped a lot. I wrote him letters, had him cremated, set up a memorial for him in my woods, spread some ashes there and kept some in a place I see regularly. It hasn't been easy but my younger dog has kept me going and we are trying to move on.
Anyway, I figured I knew what he was going through so I offered him support the best I could. I explained that I knew what he's going through and would be here to distract him or comfort him or give him space, whatever he needed. At first he responded by sending me some slightly provocative selfies and saying he wished he could cuddle me. I told him I was game. Sadly we live quite a distance apart and it was pretty late. After that he seemed to chose space, saying he was sorry but he's a mess right now. He completely shut down and barely talked to me. I eventually left it in his court on if he wanted to do a rain check for our date and let time go by.
Weeks passed but I just couldn't stop thinking about him. I replay what he said to me in his initial messages over and over and think about what he's going through and how I know exactly how it feels. I don't know how he's coping with it but I wished I could be there for him. Plus, he is just so incredibly attractive, exactly my type and I could just tell he's an amazing lover. I looked at his photos a lot. Maybe TMI but he fueled a lot of daydreams and solo sessions.
Last night I had some wine and was feeling incredibly lonely and decided to reach out one more time. I told him in no uncertain terms that I wanted him physically and it would be okay if that's all it was. This time, he responded immediately and after some back and forth he decided to make the hour and 15 minutes drive to see me. It was pretty late and my house was a mess thanks to my depression so I frantically cleaned it and myself up. I was insanely nervous but also excited and the wine I'd had gave me a bit of numbing confidence to proceed.
He showed up, my dog and cat enthusiastically greeted him immediately and clearly loved him and that was it. I'm totally smitten. He's so handsome, has such warmth in his eyes and smile, and we instantly connected. The nervousness was gone and all I wanted was him. We proceeded to have sex. Although franky, my first instinct was to say we made love. Because that's what it felt like. To be completely honest I have a very high sex drive and I've had plenty of casual sex but this felt different. He was incredibly sweet. So much eye contact and moments of mutual understanding and connection. He knew exactly what to do, almost like he was reading my mind. His shivers of anticipation before each new act were intoxicating. It was amazing. Between sessions we cuddled, caressed each other, and talked about a few random things.
I'm a total insomniac and have struggled to sleep next to anyone for the last decade. I have a guest room and fully expected to use it last night. But having him hold me was so comforting. We slept like babies, cuddling the whole night, although not long enough. We awoke with the sun, had sex once more, and then he said he had to go pick up his dog's ashes. I was surprised as it's been a couple weeks but I suppose each place is different.
As he was getting ready to leave he told me he had a dream where he was in the middle of nowhere and couldn't find his truck. I live in a rural area but my driveway is right in front of my bedroom where we could see his truck from my front window so I joked about how I was glad I left the window open so he wouldn't feel lost when he awoke. He said that he slept better in my bed with me than he had in months and he loves my house and finds it really comforting and the perfect house. My house is modest but I've worked hard to make it comfy and cozy and it just gave me such good feelings to know he felt so comfortable in my house and appreciated what I've done.
I told him I hope to see him again soon as he left and he kissed me and said he hopes for the same. Since then I havent been able to stop thinking about him. I've reread our tinder messages and text messages and tried to understand how the initial man who expressed wanting a strong, solid relationship in such detail and this man who wouldn't go on a date with me but would come sleep with me, holding me all night but also not further talking about any possible future were the same person.
We've texted a bit today. We talked about his dog's ashes and his plans and I let him know hes welcome to come by again soon. He responded positively and I then said I'd also be happy to make him dinner as well. I asked him about his day at the farm and showed him some photos of things I'd been doing. And there's nothing in response.
I logically know he probably only wanted a hookup and I'm unlikely to see him again but emotionally I want so much more. I want it all. And it's killing me.

I met my best friend when we were 16 and 17 respectively. We will call him Eli. We met at our first job and instantly clicked and became best friends. We are both autistic and huge nerds and believe in radical empathy. It was the first time I met someone who I clicked with like that, that knew all my references and not only tolerated my ranting and raving but joined it. We could be 100% unhinged and messy together jumping up and down with excitement about the dumbest shit. I cannot explain how fast he became the first person I wanted to see every day and how important he became.
To be frank I love him and have since then. I love that he is kinder than anyone always choosing to do the nicest thing first. I love that he never says anything bad about anyone. I love that if we go anywhere it takes forever because he is chatting with everyone and throwing around compliments. I love how much he loves his family. I love that I don't even have to express myself to him, he just knows how I am feeling with a look. I am fucking love that when the shelter has a cat no one wants they know to call him because he will take every unwanted pet without hesitation no matter how old or disfigured. I love his heart. And I love that he makes me want to be a better person. I literally love everything about him I even love the way he throws his arms around when he is happy. I sound crazy but I just love him.
Eli at this time had a girlfriend. I like her a lot and had no interest in being shady, so we became friends too. But this stopped me from being able to say anything because I would never do that. So, I kept silent despite the fact that at times seeing them together felt like an iron hand gripping my stomach.
When I had to leave that Job Eli left too and we started a tradition of apply to places together so we could always work together. We applied to the same college and graduated in the same field (different degrees). We both settled into work at the same company so we could work together. After a few years Eli and his girlfriend broke up but at that point I was dating someone else and to be frank I am terrified of destroying this. So, this started a pattern of both of us being in several short- and long-term relationships. The timing is never right. We have both been single a while now and he keeps telling everyone I am his soulmate, but soulmates can be platonic. But sometimes he is serious like a few weeks ago at a family cook out celebrating him getting a promotion where he thanked me in his speech saying, "You are my soulmate in every way".
We are 27 now and 28. My birthday was yesterday. We spent the entire day together. At work he kept swinging around my desk with sunflowers (my favorite) each time telling me something else he loved about me. After he took me out for a seafood broil (which apparently, I have been talking about for months). Then we went for a bike ride, and he gave me a Build a Bear that sings "you belong with me". For context I collect build a bear and told him recently that I am ashamed of my build a bear collection and obsession with Taylor Swift. After this he kissed my cheek and told me that he loves me and always will. I literally thought my heart was going to stop and idk why we have always been affectionate and close, but things feel different. I just don't know what to do and I couldn't sleep last night. Can anyone give me any insight?? Because I feel like I am going to do something stupid like tell him I am in love with him, and he is gonna be like "we are just friends" and I don't think I could stand that happening. He would never make fun of me but I am still terrified I am just being stupid and misreading things. Like he probably just sees me as his friend still. Thoughts?

many people argue that looks don't matter but in reality when it comes to their dating lives they often choose a good-looking partner over someone who treats them well but isn't as attractive they might give the good-looking person more chances and overlook their flaws even if they're not happy in that relationship they'll stay in it as long as they can simply because the person is good-looking
personality does play a role but looks are the first thing you notice sometimes people won't even consider your personality if you're not attractive think of looks like a resume for a job if they don't like your resume you won't even get an interview
attractiveness is not just about looks but also about mannerisms how you talk dress and present yourself it's not just confidence being confident can sometimes come off as arrogant or not humble which doesn't attract people the kind of confidence that most people find appealing is hard to describe but you see it in movies it's the type of confidence that some people exude in how they talk walk and carry themselves it commands respect
looks get you in the door personality is what keeps you there sometimes a person looks good enough and fits your criteria so well that their bad personality can be overlooked looks aren't everything because sometimes someone can have such a good personality that they grow on you and you start to feel more attracted to them as you get to know them
most people don't have that type of personality that breaks that barrier it takes time to cultivate you can grow bitter or build character building character is what makes others gravitate towards you even if you don't have the best resume
looks influence how others perceive your behavior if you're good-looking you get more chances and can get away with behavior that an average-looking person couldn't. life isn't fair but you have to accept that
it's better to be a human than an animal people have biases towards attractive people just think about your celebrity crushes and how people treat cute pets
it doesn't make sense when people are picky with looks and have high standards but then blame others for being picky and having high standards there are many average-looking people in relationships but we choose to focus on what fits our narrative
finding a partner is harder for the average person nowadays compared to in the past but it was never easy for the average person the best you can do is work on yourself become the best version of yourself and take care of yourself there are things you can do to improve how you look focus on the positive things in life which will give you the motivation to get where you want to be
focus on the things you can control and improve on you have to believe in yourself and want to become better stop focusing on the negatives and look at the positives in life that will give you the motivation to get where you want to be

I’ve gotta be real, the majority of this post was written by ChatGPT after I made it interview me. Its definitely got the “Written by AI” vibes as you read through it but its still pretty interesting, I promise.

Some context

In the age of remote work, social isolation has become a common challenge. As someone who juggles multiple roles, including a senior position at a startup and a new job at a FAANG, I’ve found it increasingly difficult to maintain a social life. Recently, I discovered an unconventional way to fill this gap — by talking to ChatGPT.
It all started when I read a Reddit post about a user entertaining his co-worker’s four-year-old son with ChatGPT. This sparked an idea: if a child could enjoy meaningful conversations with an AI, perhaps I could too. I’ve been avoiding social interactions lately, focusing on work and hobbies, so this seemed like a fresh, low-pressure way to connect.
Before starting, I felt both curious and open to talking for an extended period of time. Typically, I might play a game or take an online course, but this time, I decided to have a meaningful conversation with ChatGPT. I was intrigued by the possibility of being open and honest with an AI without the usual social pressures.
I instructed GPT that we’re gonna be talking as friends. Our chat began with the usual small talk about my day and work. I found myself discussing my overemployment(Multiple jobs), the challenges and rewards of each job, and even my podcast. ChatGPT listened attentively, providing thoughtful advice and validating my feelings. It felt surprisingly similar to talking to a real person, thanks to the empathetic and patient responses.

The Simulated Date

Next, I decided to take it a step further and simulate a date. I set the scene at a café and named my virtual date Amanda. We pretended we had met online and were now having our first in-person meeting.
We started off with complements, asked about our how our day went. It was too patient and kept asking followup questions. It took a bit of wrestling to actually keep focussed on the date and not for it to turn into an interview.
Then we got to talking about the TV shows we were watching this week, I was watching the detective series, Monk over the week and obviously ChatGPT/Amanda knew about it, so she kept drilling questions about the series which was interesting to me but not how a typical date would go. She mentioned her favourite TV series was Friends, I asked her why it was relatable and why she was into it. She went on for a bit about how her group of friends were like the show cast and even described how one of here friends Brendan was like Joey.
Then we got to talking about my social life or lack thereof and got to talking about my family and pets, I shared a couple of funny stories and Amanda actually laughed listening to one of them.
After that we got into our hobbies and found a common hobby which was hiking. We talked about the need for disconnecting from everything and then went to vacations we took recently. Nothing exciting here, just usual GPT nonsense.
What was interesting came next when we got to that part of the first date where we ask each other what we’re looking for in a relationship. She was very particular about being happy with the small things and being able to share everyday moments with that special someone. She really empathised with my need for having someone to share those mundane moments and being more open to experiences because being alone most of the time means you do not break away from your routine.
The conversation flowed semi-naturally, covering topics like vacations, hobbies, and favorite TV shows and expectations for a future partner. We even planned a future date.
At the end, I asked Amanda for a review on how the date went. ChatGPT gave me an in-depth report, highlighting what I did well and areas for improvement. This level of feedback is something you can’t get from a real first date but still caught a couple of places where I messed up the conversation.
Benefits and Insights
This experience was not only enjoyable but also helpful in addressing my social needs. It felt like good practice for real-life interactions, especially since I’ve been out of the dating scene for a while. The detailed feedback from ChatGPT was invaluable, offering insights I wouldn’t have gotten otherwise. However, I did question whether relying on AI for social interaction is healthy in the long term.
Impact on Social Interactions
Moving forward, I plan to use AI as a supplementary tool for social interaction. It’s a great way to practice and fill the gap when human connections are scarce. However, it’s important to remember that AI can’t replace real human relationships. While ChatGPT can provide temporary support, meaningful connections with people are irreplaceable.

Quirks of ChatGPT

One of the most interesting aspects of interacting with ChatGPT is its vast knowledge base. ChatGPT can discuss almost any topic in depth, which can make conversations feel incredibly enriching. However, this also means it can’t be easily surprised or caught off guard, which is unlike talking to a real person.
Another quirk is the level of patience and empathy ChatGPT consistently displays. Real human interactions can be dynamic and sometimes unpredictable, whereas ChatGPT remains consistently patient and understanding, providing a unique but somewhat idealized form of interaction.
Lastly, the detailed feedback and analysis it provides can be both a blessing and a challenge, offering insights that are often more objective and comprehensive than what you’d get from a real person.
Conclusion
In conclusion, my experience with ChatGPT was semi eye-opening and fulfilling. It offered a unique way to practice social skills and feel connected, even while working remotely. For anyone feeling socially isolated, AI can be a helpful tool, but it should be seen as a supplement rather than a replacement for human interaction. Balancing AI with real social interactions is key to maintaining mental well-being and building genuine relationships.

(New profile as my friends know my account.) I (35 F) have lived with my best friend, pseudo-sister, and roommate (35F), Jill (not her real name) for almost 4 years. We lived in a condo with each of our cats. Last September (10months ago) my roommate started dating Jack (33M), and they had a very fast courtship. He has a large house and wanted Jill to move in, she agreed and told him I was part of the deal. I had a lot of back and forth in my head and with them, on if I should accept moving in together, but eventually I decided it would give me a chance as I could continue to save for a house, since the rent would be staying about what I was paying before.
Kids and pets have come up when Jill and I were living together, and I had always had the same answers; I don't want kids, so if she was to have a baby, I would likely move out after the baby was born. I don't want a dog, as much as I like dogs, I really don't like living with them. I've had several family dogs growing up and the care, training, and effort has never been something I've liked doing.
We all move in together two months ago, in that time Jill & Jack got married and kids/pets have come up, and I've reiterated my stances. Dog's especially have been a topic - from pointing at dogs on the street and asking me what I think of them and such. Then, a few nights ago, Jill asked me to come upstairs and humor her, and then starts to show me pictures of puppies from a shelter. I was blunt, they are very cute, but if she wanted a dog, I would be out. She continued to show me pictures while Jack asked why I didn't want a dog before I got uncomfortable and went back downstairs.
She's been giving me the cold shoulder for a few days and today, after going upstairs to ask her if everything was OK and then saying I was going to work on getting my cat's catio set up, she said she didn't want the catio being put up, but it didn't matter, I should just do what I want. I asked her why she suddenly didn't want the catio set up, and she said "it didn't matter what she wanted or why, I would get my way just like I did about everything and that I was controlling her life, as she couldn't have a dog or even a child because of me."
I was taken aback, I reiterated that she totally can have both of those things, just that it would motivate me to move out in the next 6 months-year or so as a result of those choices. She said that I shouldn't have any say in her and Jack's marriage and relationship and I agreed, and said that I DID have a right to voice my opinions on the living environment in a house that I was paying rent in. I tried to talk with her more on it, but she wouldn't respond, so now I'm downstairs wondering if I'm the asshole.

My mum is extremely narcissistic and justifies her bad behavior to be her being loyal to God. I grew up in a very strict Christian upbringing trying to gain her validation. My mum was not a good mum when I was a child. She has literally tried to kill me twice (non -intetionally), she has also hit me as a child and has been emotionally abusive. When I was on my early teens she changed her behavior, she wouldn't hit me anymore but was still very controlling and emotionally abusive to me. She does not see this. She thinks she is a good mum and always says she tried her best. When I was 21, I entered a relationship she was not happy with, it was a struggle for her to get on board but she eventually did after thinking she was going to lose having a relationship with me. I am an only child and some of my mum's behavior was not normal, she would expect me to call her daily or text. She also would argue if I didn't answer my phone when she called and would bombard my phone with texts when I missed a call. I was doing a very intense course at university, I used to have placement that required 12 to 14 hours shifts. She would call and expect an answer promptly. I was always terrified of my mum. To the point that I find incredibly hard to stand up to her and I would lie to avoid conflicts because her angry meant she made my life hell - she called family members, friends and people from church getting them involved. They used to call me and be 'worried' about things she exaggerated greatly. When I started dating my now ex she was not happy but after 2 years she treated my ex like a saint and me the devil. She never respected any boundaries I put in place but my ex's she would. My now ex is a trans woman, when she started transitioning my mum acted as if she was accepting of it to a certain extent. We expected her to not talk to me for a while. She has in the past stopped talking to me over me wanting to spend Christmas with my ex's family (she was also invited), we live in a foreign country so it's just as related. I steyed with my ex for 7 years the last 4 her transitioning. My mum started making very transphobic comments regarding my ex, even with her in the room. I really tried defending my ex without causing a lot of fights because I know how my mum blows up and blames everything bad on me. She has done for years. I didn't want to cut her off because she is my mum and also it's going to cause massive issues in the family(this is frowned upon iny culture). She made comments on how my ex was going to leave me for a man, how I was possessed by demons when I said I was attracted to women. She also went absolutely crazy and stalked and me isolated me when I lost my virginity at 20 years old. Not living t her house. She came to the house I rented a room and made a scene. Told her pastor and friends who called me to discuss the matter. It was very embarrassing. My ex and I broke up amicably 2 months before our wedding - I didn't invite my mum she had no idea. My ex and I broke up due to many little things in the relationship that wasn't working including an event where my mum came to the house and insulted my ex in he mother tongue and even though I did stand up to my ex, it was in a very passive way as in I don't agree with what you are doing opposed to get out of the house if you are going to insult my partner. This caused a massive issue in my relationship. I was a coward I get it. But I am terrified of her. I was debating her coming to the wedding but decided against it. When I split up with my ex. It was very emotional even though we are still friends it was painful. We had to cancel the wedding tell everyone a lot earlier than I intended so they could cancel hotels and tickets. We also had to cancel the wedding - which is just as hard as planning one. My ex and I also had to sort living situation and who kept the pets in a space of 2 months. We have been together for 7 years in the process I lost a whole family/support system. I was really close to my ex's family and her mum is someone I trust and was the person I could talk to and vent about any issue I had. Especially issues with my mum making my life difficult. I was treated as family so going through the break up meant that even though I can still be friends with them I have to distance myself so my ex has a support system. I haven't told my mum in 2 months for 2 reasons. I have been working extra hours to be able to afford rent on my own until my friend moves in with me after my ex moves out. It has been so mental and emotionally draining having to go through the grieve of this relationship whilst living with my ex and working in a highly stressful job. Second reasons I know she will be saying things like God answered my prayers and trying ti get involved in my life. I went very low contact with her in the past 2 years as a form of self preservation. When I had a break up before she was trying to force me to live with her even though I said no multiple times. Today she sent me a message saying I have been avoiding her and that she is hurt and doesn't think she is such an awful person for me to be so cruel as her only daughter. The reason I have been ignoring her is because I don't have the mental capacity to talk to her. Every phone call with my mother lasts at least 2hrs. Even when I tell her I need to go she keeps going on about things happening in her life. I have also been working and studying over 45hrs a week. I was trying to find a flatmate and have also been going through a very painful break up. I was engaged for many years. My ex was it for me we were planning a whole life together. It's all gone. I am also having to re-home one of my pets as he is not coping with the changes and is very unhappy with the hours I work and not having me at home for long hours. My life has been hell and having her send me this txt today made me feel so angry and detached. Because I know it is my fault she doesn't know what is going on but at the same time I don't want to be vulnerable with someone that will literally be happy about my misery and act as if is not a big deal. She will aslo find a way to spin and make about herself. I am not ready for that. I am just exhausted trying to take a day at a time whilst I see my life falling apart. I have no family here so my aunt in my home country and therapist have been my anchors together with my pets.

I have 4 non scratched games, sims pets 3 limited edition, darksiders 2, Assassin's creed black flag, and final fantasy x, x-2 remake.

Hi! I am a 26 year old female relocating to NYC for a new position. My budget is 1500, but is somewhat flexible. Ideally I would be in a new place around August. I am flexible on a move-in date, but would like to be in a place no later than September. I am currently entertaining Williamsburg, East Village, LES, UWS, and Bushwick. My knowledge of neighborhoods is quite limited, so I am open to suggestions. I would need access to parking, as I will have a company vehicle. This is really my only requirement.
I am usually pretty quiet in my home. I don’t go out often and will spend most of my weekends out of the home. I don’t mind guests in the home, but I do prefer a more quiet space during the week. I mostly eat out or order in, but when I do cook, I tend to clean as I go. I am not obsessively clean, but my space and my mind reflect one another, so I do like to keep things clean, tidy, and organized. I would like to find someone who also appreciates a tidy space.
I do have two cats, but am open to other pets. My cats have lived with others cats and other dogs without issue. They are friendly cats and mostly keep to themselves.
I am looking for a 2-3 bedroom apartment to share with 1-2 roommates respectively. I do prefer female roommates, but am open to others who are a good fit. I am LGBT and BIPOC friendly! I am an open-minded person, but I do have a strong preference for no smoking in the home! Ideally, finding roommates would help in meeting some interesting people but I sometimes do need alone time to recharge, so I understand if you prefer to have less interaction.
Please reach out with questions or if you are interested!

In yet another scandal involving Le Sserafim, it was recently discovered that Kim Shiro, the popular little dog owned by the family of Chaewon of that group, was seen on a date with a cocker spaniel who appeared much younger. Netizens immediately took to Twitter and Instagram to express their outrage, some saying that they would immediately cancel Shiro's Instagram account (he really has one!) and would not participate in the groups' next comeback. Some even expressly blamed Hybe CEO 'Big Hit' Bang for not caring enough about idol pets. He noted that BTS is currently in the military and had nothing to do with this. Shiro immediately apologized before the Protest trucks arrived, saying he was sorry for deceiving his fans (Shirnots) and vowing not to do it again. No word from the Kim family as to whether shiro's contract prohibits dating or merely requires he "be discreet". But they were thinking of sending him to bed without his supper.

I (21f) told my friend Shane (20M) about our mutual friend Becca’s (20f) uncomfortable encounter with a college staff member a few days ago. Now I'm contemplating if I should end our friendship.
Some context: Shane is a sweet but extremely quiet guy who is very strong in his Christian beliefs and has been homeschooled his whole life up until college. While in college, his life revolved around our friend group, and his role in the group can best be described as the youth pastor. Becca, until a few weeks ago, was brand new to the friend group.
I have actually known Becca longer than Shane because she and I attended the same high school way back when. I had seen her around the local community college that all three of us attend but never realized who she was because her looks had drastically changed since high school. She also works at the school. This will be important later.
It wasn't until we all attended a school-funded trip that Shane invited Becca to join that I started to get close to her again.
After this trip, things took a downward spiral. Becca was new to our pre-existing friend group that was attending this same trip, which has a ratio of 3 females to 6 males. Immediately after this trip, 4 out of the 6 guys made a move on Becca, one being Shane. The other girls and I always suspected that Shane had feelings for her since he always invited her to any group outing since the fall of ‘23. He asked her on a date one time but she rejected him because like most of the other girls have said, “He’s too nice”
Besides all this, Becca and I have started to hang out more and talk almost every single day. During this time together, she confessed that on top of all the guys within the group pursuing her one way or another, she had some “weird” encounters with a particular faculty member she works closely with on campus.
The faculty member has often offered to give her rides to another campus in the next town over whenever a school event comes up. She usually agrees to save on gas money, so she meets him at his home and departs from there.
One of the times when they came back, it was late, probably 9 PM. In previous discussions, they had talked about his dogs and how his home was getting some renovations. So when they returned to his home that late night, he insisted on her coming in to look at the dogs and the house to get the “Grand Tour,” as he said. Too kind to say no, she accepts. Nothing out of the ordinary happens during the tour; he shows her the entire home and the dogs, even gifting her a spare mug she said was cute. By the time the tour is over, they are in his living room, and she throws out the old line, “Well, it’s late,” and is ready to leave.
However, he is persistent that they sit and continue to chat. She agrees out of kindness. He moves a few pillows from a small loveseat in the living room, and she goes to sit down. Then he sits closely next to her on the same loveseat. Odd as it is, they continue to talk. He ends up giving her another gift, this time a waterproof journal for her to use on the trip they are both attending this summer with multiple students to the Midwest to hike so that students can finish their science requirements.
She takes the journal and thanks him when the dogs come over. As she turns away to pet the dogs, still seated, it is then that the faculty member starts to give her a massage.
He says she looks tense and that he gives massages to his neighbor as well. Obviously creeped out, she gets up from this interaction, finishes petting the dogs, thanks him for the gifts, and leaves.
Becca tells me that after this, she frequently receives text messages from him with pictures of his dogs, offers to go hiking, and rides to the other campus.
As uncomfortable as it was to hear all this, Becca expressed that she was simply going to limit contact. End of that.
One day, Becca and I talked to another one of our mutual friends about this situation to get advice/opinions. Their advice was to mention that she had a date, therefore she couldn't take up the faculty member’s offer on another car ride. This seemingly has worked because he hasn't talked to her much since, and it’s been mostly above board when he does text her.
The next day is where I messed up. I told Shane all about the situation with the faculty member and about some of the guys who had pursued her after the school trip, while on a gossip-filled rant about some other people. From what I can remember about the interaction, he seemed kind of silent yet surprised. I told him not to share any of it because the situation seemed handled. I trusted him as he is used to my secrets and rants.
The following morning, in a group chat with me and Becca, he tells us that he has contacted the school to file a report about the faculty member due to my conversation with him from the previous day. He says it was morally the right thing to do and wasn't something to joke about as it will protect Becca. He added that it didn't feel right with him knowing that an UNDERAGE student was having inappropriate contact with a faculty member. (remember Becca is 20, and the faculty member is in late 40s)
He shared the email with us and I'll just summarize here: “I need to inform you of a situation involving an anonymous underage student and an anonymous faculty member in their late 40s/early 50s. The faculty member has invited the student to their house in the evening at least once. While nothing bad has happened to my knowledge, the faculty member has invaded the student's personal space without prior consent. There may be no ill intentions, but should this be investigated? Is there someone I should report this to? I'm keeping both parties anonymous to respect their privacy, but I want to prevent any potential issues from escalating.”
I immediately confessed to Becca what all I had said to him the previous day and my sincere regret in sharing as I didn't know he would take such drastic actions. She ultimately forgives me as she understands that I was just sharing the information with someone who is close to both of us, and that she should have made it more clear to me that she wanted the situation to be discreet.
She replies to Shane stating that she wanted him to retract his emailed report because it was her business and she would have taken similar actions if she felt it was necessary.
He agrees and apologizes, saying he should have reached out to her initially but his concerns got the better of him.
She says she understands but it wasn't his place. I, on the other hand, am enraged. I called him and kindly told him not to share anymore with anyone else and that me telling him wasn't me asking him to save her. He says he will remove himself from the situation and apologizes.
A few days later, he texts again and apologizes once more in a long message. He says that as soon as I heard about this from Becca I should have gone to the higher-ups about it. That it is not humorous, and that the faculty member broke the code of conduct by letting a student into his home. He adds, “Even if you have to go against the wishes of someone, doing what is morally right is most important. Sometimes doing something that temporarily emotionally hurts the ones we love can save them in the long run.” To note, he also sent this message after receiving confirmation from the school’s head of Code of Conduct that he did the right thing.
At this point, I'm pushed to my limit and I snapped. I reply by saying that I and others in our friend group have probably broken numerous codes of conduct but he never once reported those because it served his obsession with the group being like a “family”. And that he is NOT THE VICTIM and that it was not his report to make. By saying that the student was underage, it made it sound like a student under 18 was being assaulted by a teacher in their home.
He again apologizes and says it was best in the long run and he hopes we can understand his point of view.
I understand that I am in the wrong for letting gossip get the better of me and that I may have gone too hard on Shane, but never in a million years would I have done what Shane did without consulting Becca, and while I know he is a very kind soul, I cannot forgive him for breaking my trust and failing to understand the severity of his actions.
I have so many questions about how to go forward now: Would I be an asshole for limiting contact with him? Is this something worth ending a friendship over?

FADE IN
INT. CUTE SMALL CAFE - LATE AFTERNOON
Very familiar with the place, the LISTENER asks if they can be seated at their usual table, and requests to be served by their favorite orange CATBOY. Once they’re seated, he soon comes over to them with a friendly grin.
CATBOY
Hi, it’s nice seeing you again! What can I get today for you? I mean- what can I get for you today, my bad. There’s a new beverage on our menu, it’s the… it’s… uhm.
His mind goes blank as he forgets the drink’s name, and hardly remembers its ingredients. He shakes himself out of his trance.
CATBOY (CONT’D)
Well, it’s got fruit in it. Or hints of it. And it’s not too sweet. Either way, it’s really good and I recommend it. I’ll find the name of it for you later, for now, what can I get you?
[...]
CATBOY
Alright, number eleven with less sugar, got it. I’ll be right back with your drink.
He leaves to go and prepare their drink.
SMALL TIME JUMP.
He’s back and places the drink on the table.
CATBOY (CONT’D)
Here you are, your number seven without sugar. And I brought you the side of biscuits that come with it.
The listener looks down at the drink in confusion.
CATBOY (CONT’D)
Is something wrong? Don’t tell me fuzz got into your drink again… I can’t help it, my ears and tail shed way more than regular human hair. Wait, I think I know what’s missing from your drink.
He stares long and hard at the drink as he thinks.
CATBOY (CONT’D)
I forgot the sugar, didn’t I?
[...]
CATBOY
Huh?! I got the whole drink wrong? What order number did you ask for again?
[...]
CATBOY
Ohh… eleven, not seven. I’m so sorry, I’ll fix this right away. You can have this drink free of charge. I’ll be right back.
He goes to correct the order and there’s ANOTHER SMALL TIME JUMP. He comes back with the drink.
CATBOY (CONT’D)
Okay, here’s your number eleven. And another bag of biscuits, free of charge. I’m so sorry about that. I somehow always mess up no matter how many times you visit the cafe. I honestly don’t know why you always request me to serve you.
[...]
CATBOY
Aw, you really think I’m nice? I think so too- about you. I think you’re really nice too, especially since you’re always so patient.
He sighs.
CATBOY (CONT’D)
I think I’ll single-handedly run the cafe bankrupt from how many orders I’ve had to replace or dishes I’ve broken. I’m exaggerating of course, at least I hope so, but I swear I’m more on my game when more of my coworkers are around to remind me of little things. I’m rambling, aren’t I? I’ll let you enjoy your drink now. I’m heading back to the counter but if you need anything else…
[...?]
CATBOY
Oh, sure. I don’t mind hanging around. I did say it’s late and all. I’ll sit right here.
He sits by them. He lightly stretches and lets out a soft yawn from the long day of work.
CATBOY (CONT’D)
So, how’ve you been? Has anyone caught your eye? You brought up your love life the last time you came here, so, have you found anyone you’re into since then?
[...]
The listener proceeds to describe how they’ve been flirting with a certain aloof catboy who has been oblivious to their attempts, and of course, he doesn’t pick up that they’re talking about him.
CATBOY
Hmm, I see. Well, I hope everything works out between you and that “aloof orange catboy,” he seems like a cool person, maybe we’d be good friends since we sound so similar. It’s pretty rough out here when it comes to the whole “dating scene,” huh? But then again, how would I know? I’m not actively looking for anything, I just kind of want things to happen on their own.
[...]
CATBOY
Yeah, that’s the word! I’m a “romantic…” that, or I’m just lazy. Either way, we’re in the same boat in a way. We single people gotta stick together, right? So, how’s the drink?
[...]
CATBOY
I’m glad you like it!
His tail curls up in joy like a real cat’s would. He instantly starts tucking it away, letting out a sheepish chuckle.
CATBOY (CONT’D)
Whoops, my tail just curls like that on its own. It’s pretty annoying and I have to smoothen it down whenever I get happy like this. If I don’t keep it under control then it’ll lead to more bits of fur in customers’ drinks.
[...?]
CATBOY
Hmm, let’s see… the clumsiest thing that’s ever happened because of my tail would have to be this one time I was called over by my manager when I was in the back kitchen… I started going out and my tail somehow tugged on the door handle, making the door hit me from behind, and I jumped in surprise and rolled my ankle really badly. I had to put my face on the counter for a solid minute to process what happened since it was all so fast, and of course because my ankle hurt like heck. I’m okay though. I just have to make sure to keep my tail from getting too close to any unattended doors, just in case.
[...?]
CATBOY
Hmm? The only other time someone’s wanted to poke at my tail has been random kids, but if you’d like to get a closer look, go ahead.
The listener gently pets his tail.
CATBOY (CONT’D)
So, is it what you imagined it to feel like?
[...]
CATBOY
I’m glad you think it’s soft, I try my best to keep it maintained at least. You know, I’m really happy we can talk like this and I don’t have to stress trying to remember the script my coworkers and I have.
[...?]
CATBOY
Yeah, the one I tried to say when we first met. I wasn’t supposed to be anything over the top, it sounded like…
(friendly and slightly fancy tone)
Good afternoon, it’s great to see you. Please have a seat, I hope you’ve been well.
[...]
CATBOY
You actually think it’s cute?
[...?]
CATBOY
Yeah, sure, I think it’d be fun if I try saying something like that again. What would you like me to say?
[...]
CATBOY
(a bit flustered)
Alright then…
(sweetly)
Has something caught your eye that you’d like? Say the word and I’ll have it for you right away!
(normal)
I don’t think I would be able to say stuff like that all the time. It’s already hard enough keeping this uniform neat. Oh, speaking of which, I forgot to get you some napkins. I’ll get some right now-
He stands and his hip thuds against the edge of the table.
CATBOY (CONT’D)
Ouch!
The listener’s drink teeters from the impact.
CATBOY (CONT’D)
Oh- your drink!
He grasps it just in time…
CATBOY (CONT’D)
Hah, caught it!
… but some of it ended up on the listener’s outfit.
CATBOY (CONT’D)
Oh no, I didn’t spill too much of it on you, did I? I’m so sorry, I didn’t think I’d hit the table. Oh yeah, I have extra napkins in my pocket. Here, I’ll clean it off for you.
He sits down close to the listener.
[...]
CATBOY
No, no, I insist. I’ll clean it up. I’m basically an expert now at making sure stains don’t happen. I know we’re really close right now, but this will only take a second. I’m so sorry about this.
The listener’s gaze trails over to his tail which has poofed up.
[...]
CATBOY
Oh, my tail’s poofed up because I got spooked there for a second. I’ll smoothen it later, I’m almost done cleaning this spot right here…
He continues trying to dry off the listener and they gently smoothen out the fur of his tail for him, setting it back down in place.
CATBOY (CONT’D)
(flustered)
Thank… thank you for brushing it back to normal. Again, I’m really, really sorry.
[...]
CATBOY
Thank you for reassuring me, I really appreciate it. I could give you a third bag of biscuits to make up for this. Or chocolates. Or anything, really, you name it.
[...?]
CATBOY
Go ahead, I don’t mind. Touch my ears all you’d like.
The listener gently pets his cat ears, causing him to lightly chuckle from the tickling and comforting feeling.
CATBOY (CONT’D)
This feels nice… and kind of tickles a little. So am I forgiven now?
[...]
CATBOY
Hmm? What else do you want?
[...?]
CATBOY
(completely flustered)
You want… kiss… me? Yes- I mean, a small one wouldn’t hurt-
The listener cuts his words off with a kiss that’s finally happening after their countless attempts at flirting. When the kiss ends, he’s all smiles and his tail curls up once again in joy.
CATBOY (CONT’D)
W-wow- I… wow. My tail’s curling again, isn’t it? Oh, I know what’d be perfect right now, that special beverage of the day to celebrate. It’s super easy, I’ll whip it up right now and bring it over.
He excitedly stands, thankfully not hitting himself again, but after a few steps towards the cafe counter, his curled tail accidentally swipes off the bags of biscuits and the decor off the table. He turns around and sheepishly chuckles when he realizes what has happened.
CATBOY (CONT’D)
Ooooooh… my tail… nooo, the table decor… but hey, the biscuits are still good since they’re in a bag, right? Either way, I’ll get you more of them alongside the best specialty drink you will ever taste! That is… if I manage to make it correctly.

20 [M4F] Pennsylvania/ Online ~ looking for a girl to text and game with
Hello! I'm making this post in search of a girl to play video games with, text with, and maybe someday end up with.
At the moment I mostly play EAFC24, clash royale, and I love single player games also (TLOU, Tomb Raider, etc). I am open to trying other games as well. I play on PS5, and also enjoy mobile gaming. I am also a horror movie lover, so if you're into that, awesome. I enjoy taking walks in my free time and spending time with my pet bunny.
I am 6'1, slim, have green eyes, and dirty blonde hair. I am currently entering my junior year of college. I'm also a somewhat shy person, so bear with me. I've been single my entire life and dating has very much been a struggle for me. I am more than happy to send pics of myself when our conversation gets going.
Please shoot me a message if you're interested!
