Is my straight friend flirting with me or is she just joking?
Q. Curious for some opinions here. I'm an out gay female. A new girl started working at my job recently. She's roughly my age and straight. Seemingly the boy-crazy type of straight. Never been with a woman before. Which is what is so confusing to me ...
A. 16 March 2022: Personally?
I think you need to shut this down ASAP.
She is a RECENT acquaintance and co-worker to boot, not some rando to flirt with.
Could she BE bi-sexual? sure.

Dating for six weeks, and now he thinks he was too eager
Q. I’ve been dating a guy for about 6 weeks. We’ve had some good dates and get on really well. On our last date he asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend and make it official. I said yes but I wasn’t 100% sure in my head. I stayed over at his home ...
A. 15 March 2022: I don't think you were too harsh either.
You asked a simple question.
You didn't ask him to propose, you asked him do you want to progress with me or toss in the towel.

How do I act in front of my crush?
Q. Okay so I have a crush on this boy. He is very extremely cute and I can't stop thinking about him!!! And it's like love at first sight!!! I think having a boyfriend or a relationship at age 10-11 is not the right age (it might be). But he has a ...
A. 14 March 2022: I too wonder about your age, OP
Your age group says 18-21 but you talk about 10-11 year olds so which age group are you and which age group is he?
While you sound more like a 10-11 year old, I will answer it to a 18-21 as your profile states. ... (read in full...)

My girlfriend wants to experiment with my friend

A. 10 March 2022: Is your posted age-range wrong? Because if you met in HS and it's been 6 years, you should be at the MOST in your mid-20's not mid 30's.

A. 10 March 2022: I think you need to give Drew a timeline for how long you are going to think about this. Tell him that you LOVE him but that marriage is not JUST about you and him, but also your kids. YOU (and HE ) needs to feel 100% sure it will work out. So maybe ... (read in full...)

A. 10 March 2022: Just block him. Easy enough.

A. 7 March 2022: If I were you I'd keep this VERY platonic with him. You already know he had/has a crush on your friend. So for him to switch to you seems a little like you are his "second option" since he can't get with your friend.
