The Dating Stories/Progress thread

Yeah it's the same one.
And yeah I know I should maybe talk about it but this is my first experience of ever being in a relationship. I'm so nervous I'm going to say the wrong thing and turn him off. I talk to him about everything else but I just can't bring up that conversation again.

[Vax]

Well it's a worthwhile conversation to have, considering it could impact how you spend the next two years. Honestly it seems kinda silly to me to hold out for some sort of mystery relationship for two years, but then again online long distance relationships all seem pretty silly to me anyway so take what I say with a grain of salt I suppose. I guess I just feel like it'd be more worth your while to try something closer to home which doesn't have a big weird countdown on it. However if this is definitely the thing that you wanna do then yeah I would definitely suggest talking to this person about any concerns or things you might have. If they're also devoting two years to this thing then they shouldn't have a problem with it, unless they're dumb and haven't thought this whole thing through at all and don't expect to talk about the crux of this relationship for two years.

sooooooo I think I might tell my guy that I love him.

I'm just kinda waiting for the right moment I guess. I'm not super anxious about it, but we did have an awkward conversation about love before because I was really insecure and had low self-esteem and felt like I didn't deserve to be loved, but since that drama train is over...

I just
he's really great and I wanna let him know.

I feel a little bit nervous/excited/giddy about it, I haven't felt like that since high school.

Fill his bedroom with rose petals. The entire room, so when he opens the door he is covered in love roses.

[luroberto]

We didn't meet online, to be clear.
We knew each other for a few years beforehand.
THEN he moved.

But yes thank you for the advice.

[Reyo]

And if he starts exclaiming about being covered in plant penises, you'll know to marry him right there on the spot.

[Kamak]

I'm not sure people enjoy being covered in stamen, Reyo.

Plus it's hard to collect enough of them to fill a room.

[Reyo]

I'm talking the flower itself, not just the stamen.

Unless you're talking about the vocabulary, then genetalia would work better.

[shazza]

well flowers are usually both male and female. the male sex organ is the stamen, and the female sex organ is underneath the petals in the ovule. some flowers will have a stamen-like female protrusion called the pistil too. even the flowers who don't have protruding parts still have them, just smaller/hidden/shaped differently. they're all essentially the same though.



the petals are solely to attract pollinators c:

[Reyo]

I was aware of this already, I simply used the incorrect synonym.

You guys always ruin my jokes

I think being able to read yaoi together makes this my most successful relationship yet.

[luroberto]

Okay so I keep on trying to start a conversation about US by like saying something really nice about him or like how much I like him and then he doesn't respond so I get awkward and ugh.

Shit does this mean I have to date Scoot's brother now

[AngelicSongx]

It's nice having someone who will never give up on me, and always wants me around.

[Barabba]

I asked a girl for her number and she gave it to me and I have no idea what to do with it.
