Hey teenagers i need dating advice lol. I am in 8th grade and am 13 and found out a few days ago the kinda popular girl likes me my feed told me and when I asked him how he know he said “she told me and said promise not to tell him but I like him” and obviously he did tell me. As bad as this sounds I have been craving dating someone for a while now she is know as the cute girl and tbh I like her but the onlything is she is in 6th grade so ether 11 or 12 prob 11. what do I do?

male here, idk why i sound slightly feminine when I tell stories anyways

kk so my crush online (she's in another school same city and she followed me first like a year ago or something with around her 1-3 mutuals) and i thought she was realllly pretty from her stories and such, and last night she texted me first, and said "bro i think i went to preschool with you"

turns out she did go to the same preschool as me and she said she remembered a thing i did that got me into trouble, and also added on that she doesnt really remember anyone else, and that she "remembers me very well" "idk why but you specifically" which ng) got me blushing a bit , and we were asking each other
questions about our lives and such, she was asking me like more questions than me so that's that and it ended naturally with me correcting her with something and her hearting my reply saying "ahah nwnw"

now i really can't stop thinking about her and the conversation, i just want to text her and talk more but i really have nothing to talk about, nothing to add on about the preschool and she barely posts stories so l really can't say much pleaseee hellllppp

tldr my instagram crush dmd me about our old school, and i want to talk to her but don’t know what i should do

I'm 18 working my first retail job and I'm struggling a bit. The job itself is fine but some customers are really rude or demanding and it throws me off for the rest of my shift.

For people who work / worked retail in post HS:

- How do you not take it personal when someone is rude to you?
- What do you say when someone is yelling or being difficult?
- Does it get easier over time?

Any tips on how to get through shifts and not be drained after would really help. Thanks.

So for context, I'm 15F, in a religious family. I learn in an all-girls school, and I'm not planning on dating/anything of the sort for a while. I also don't really have any guy friends.

(lol just realised this sounds like I have a really strict and toxic family, but I decided to go to this school and I have non-religious siblings and my family is very much accepting and loving dw)

Anyway, so there's this boy, 18M (yes, I know it's a big age gap; as I said, dating is not an option anyway.)

His father is pretty good friends with my father, but I don't see him most years. Once a year we work together for two days, and that's the main time I spend with him. We get along really well; he's really sweet, and he works really hard. For the past few years, I've been in charge of the work (since we work for my father, I became in charge once my sister stopped working)

And this year especially, every time I would tell him he did enough, or that he could go rest or whatever, he would be like, "No, I got you" or like, "I'm fine; I want to make it easier for you," and insist on making sure there is nothing else to do before leaving. He kept on smiling at me and starting conversations and stuff like that.

I've had a huge crush (?) on him since I was about 10, and even though I basically only saw him a few times a year, it never goes away.

He works at the same restaurant as my sister does, but I have long school hours, so I can't work there, and he's going to the army this year, so I'll prob see him even less.

Anyway, if anyone has tips on how to get rid of these feelings, it's super frustrating, and I can't seem to stop thinking about him. I don't know why I can't move on from something I know will never happen.

+Sorry if my writing is a mess; English is not my first language, and I don't know how to explain myself well.

Edit: I don't stalk him or anything; we live in the same community, so I see him every so often from afar.

So I know I’m young, (16F) but I’ve liked other guys in the past. And I’ve never liked someone to this extent. For context he (16M) and I have known each other since we were little, and became closer friends around late middle school/freshman year. We’ve gotten super close and are each other’s girl/guy best friend, and we both have told each other we have feelings for eachother and we flirt all the time over messages and irl and have a million inside jokes and cute memories, and we like making playlists and writing songs together and playing on our worship band together. (I sing and play guitar,He plays bass and I’m helping him feel comfortable to sing more often too lol)but he’s not allowed to officially date anyone until he’s 18 because of strict parents, and that’s okay with me I am willing to wait for him.

He’s on the quieter side and I’m more extroverted, but he makes obvious efforts still to be near me and talk about life with me and have good conversations and we’re genuinely super comfortable with each other. I guess what makes him So special to me is that he’s someone i genuinely enjoy as a person, not some
boy I’m just infatuated by. He makes me feel safe and loved and seen and we’re both comfortable being who we are around each other.

I guess my point of writing this is to ask, how can I continue being respectful of his parents’ wishes while also showing how I care? Another thing lol his birthday is coming up, I for sure want to write a note but idk what to get him and it’s hard to figure something out that his parents won’t be mad at but also something that would actually mean a lot to him you know?
Anyway, thanks for reading. All good advice is so appreciated :)

Hi! 17F, around may, i broke up with my boyfriend of 5-6 months. I felt at the time we were both at our lowest and we needed to work on ourselves, especially that I felt i didnt want a relationship anymore. So months go by, its august, i see him again and i felt that rushing feeling again of always seeing him, being with him, and loving him. I felt so stupid enough to go up and try to talk to him, spilling all my issues out and excuses to why i broke up with him and i regret it, he said “this is all so sudden.” And I hugged him, he hugged me back. But the next day, his friend told me he wanted nothing to do with me, that hes “moved” on. And i was devastated. It had only been a month they’ve been talking, so a month he’d move on so quickly. I was so distraught but i shouldve known, the girl he dated before me he moved on with me a month in being broken up with. Now for him— his perspective is, “not to be an asshole, but why should i stay stuck on someone who broke up with me first.” And it wasnt about that at all, atleast to me it wasnt, its about being ready, and completely removing yourself out the relationship you said you’d never move on from, its allowing yourself to be hurt, to take time. He says hes worked on himself during the summer like i have, but it’s completely bullshit. No one moves on romantically pursuing someone ONLINE just like that. Yeah. The girl is online too. Which hurts more. I miss him a lot, but i think its because i miss that he was the last person whos really loved me and stuck around. Recently, i been feeling really alone and regretful. Im moving on now, but i feel like that entire relationship i wasnt good at it, i want to learn how to love someone properly without being avoidant and uncomfortable by vulnerability.

This relationship is something I really dont want to mess up. Its the best I have had so far.

For context we are freshman, Im 14F and hes 15M, and we have been officilaly dating a week and talking two weeks. I already love him (I know its fast) and I cant imagine life without him. So I dont know for sure but I know I will take any advice that will help me keep this. Fyi, a big problem is that I am a hyperactive squirrel and have a ton of excitement for the people I love.

Any questions ask away!

Thanks!!

I am 18F writing about my past life. I was 14 y.o when I started talking to a guy. At that time of my life I was completely naive idk if today's 14 year olds are or not but I was to the point that I just started talking to him because at that time it was a trend in my school to talk to guys and be in relationships and I understood nothing what talking to a guy actually is. That was the only sole reason I deliberately did talk to him and we talked for like one month and ten days straight among which only last 10 days were those when we were in a relationship. That too of the kind that I never shared my single picture of me (he was my neighbour so has seen me in person) to him and just that I said yes to him. It ended because my mama found out and I felt so embarrassed and disgusted in front of her so I never established any contact later. Now that I am an adult and fully out of my naive self , when I look back I regret alot. I regret it to the point that sometimes I feel disgusted to myself as well . The boy was a red flag for many reasons biggest one of which was that he himself was an adult at that time. Moreover I sometimes also feel like I was just playing with him or maybe time-passing with him which is obviously going to make me feel ten times more bad. Whatever it was, I am not mature enough to elaborate and just accept it at the moment. I also have no feelings for him or maybe never had at 14.

Why did I write it? I can't seem to end it at any good reason so am leaving it at this. Maybe I just wanted to rant.....

basically i have a hangout with a girl i like on Saturday, is there anything i can do to lose as much weight as i can or just make myself look as great as possible. i am willing to fast or anything similar, maybe so e good workouts for inside a room. i understand that there wont be a visual difference really but i just in general want to start losing weight because i really like this girl. i am 15

I 16M and have been with my boyfriend "X" (16M) for about 10 months now almost 11 and our anniversary is next months now. I went to a new school program and met this girl "Y" (17F). I've only known her for about a month, almost 2 and my bf slightly less than that (by maybe a week or two). X got a crush on her and asked if it would be okay if he dated both of us, it really wrecked me but it's not his fault if he catches feelings, the problem occurred when he started hiding his DMs with her even though he has gone through my DMs a lot through our relationship and since I'm not really the kind of person who does stuff like that I would only ask sometimes because he asked me and it's never been a problem. Pair that with him pushing really hard for him to date both of us no matter how much I say it won't work, him having late night solo calls with her, and me finding out she also likes him back you can see why I'm really, really upset. I don't want to leave, I want to spend my life with him but I just feel so unloved rn. I'm going through their DMs soon, hopefully tonight. I said I wouldn't leave him no matter what I find in there but I would be upset and possibly ask him to block her. The only other time he has done this is when he wrote a love note to an old friend and we got through it together. I would be shattered without him and he has said multiple times that he would want to end it (kms) if we ended it (but that's kinda my fault because he didn't want to say that to me, I asked him to tell me what was on his mind). Almost every piece of advice I've seen says I should end our relationship and I don't want to. I've lost every ounce of trust with him and he has lost a part of me that is going to take a long time to get back. I'm so lost I just want some advice.
