(Saw some random Internet post a while ago about a guy who wouldn’t stop harassing his “friend”)

Seriously, people kept saying that “people of the opposite gender can’t be friends”, and for the specific example I saw, if a woman posts about being friends with a guy while she has a boyfriend, and something happens with her and the guy friend that’s she didn’t ask for, apparently it was her fault and “she asked for it” and she also cheated on her boyfriend??

And people say they feel bad for the boyfriend and that the guy did nothing wrong for having an innocent crush on her if he pressures her into sex/a relationship? It’s always the woman’s fault. “Obviously, women can’t even talk to men besides their boyfriend, totally!”

So… can gay men with boyfriends not have man friends? Straight men and lesbians can’t have woman friends?

A similar thing actually happened to me, a woman, with a guy friend, and I’m dating a WOMAN. (I wasn’t dating anyone at the time, but the guy still didn’t care about how I felt. Even if he said he did and was always like “with your consent, of course”, I knew he didn’t care about who I was as a person or my consent. He just wanted to guilt-trip and pressure me into being his girlfriend because that’s all I was to him: some hot lady who was evil for saying no.

(Of course, this goes for anyone, and everyone can be friends with everyone regardless of gender, this just specifically talks about women because that’s what happened in the post.)

I see several for political news but IDK if there’s one for discussing/asking about them.

We ate lunch again, I ate pork. It was so awesome. 🌺

This is our second date 😊 Yay!

I’m in a happy relationship with a woman, but some man I talked to once kept messaging me and suggesting we be in a relationship. I blocked him once several months ago (back when I was single because I was uninterested) and then unblocked him.

Sure enough, when I went to check in with him and see how life was going, I made a mistake. he was at it again and kept suggesting again that we be in a relationship.

He seems like a good friend and he seems nice enough but he seems like he would objectify me too much even if I were to be in an open relationship if all he cares about is being mine and not who I am.

I didn’t want to deal with it, so I decided to block him, but I feel bad 😓. Plus, I’ll be friends with people but I’ll block if they suggest I date them, especially when I’m dating.

It’s a bit different now because I’m legal, but I remember during my first days of posting on the internet (c. 2014) there were guys who looked around my age now claiming to be like 15 even though they looked about ten years older. Luckily, I blocked them too and even got my first boyfriend then! 🙂

Native speaker of English & Spanish. Born in the US, technically, but we moved because of some job my dad had, I think.

He decided to stay in South America, and when I learned about certain things via friends, school, and the Internet, they happened to be in Spanish.

My parents, who I spoke English and Spanish with, didn’t really teach me certain adult stuff, so I learned through literature and school assignments (but also TV).

(So sexual topics and topics related to drugs I learned in Spanish)

I'm 23F, she's 22F. I thought I was just an ally for a while, since I only liked one girl as a teen and mistook it for admiration/hormones but I have no doubts about being sapphic now! 🙂🙂

I confessed to the woman I like that I was interested in her. She said she felt the same but was waiting for me to make the first move, and that she was interested in giving dating me a try.

We went to lunch and she kissed me when we went home. She told me our first date was amazing.

So I’ve liked my neighbor and good friend Jasmine
for a while. Plus, she was born in 02 and I 01, so we’re only a year apart, AND we both speak English and Spanish! (She’s Latina and I grew up in a Spanish-speaking area with Spanish as one of my native languages).

Anyway, I was able to tell her I liked her and yesterday, we went out for lunch. She told me she was interested in me too but was waiting for me to make a move. She said she was willing to give dating a try, and even kissed my cheek after we left to go home.

I’m bi/omniromantic but preferred men and identified as “mostly straight”/Kinsey 1-2. I also questioned being straight for a while, but I certainly have no doubts after this! 🙂😊
