Don't have kids.

Weeelll...he was right, in a way. He just was an asshole about it, or rather an asshole in general. In a healthy relationship, I don't think it's too much to ask from your partner to indulge you every now and then, even when you're not in the mood. I've been on both sides of the equation, and there are ways of…

Genius. She'll have to say yes! Because of the... implications.

Again, good luck. I feel like I'm talking to my past self. I just want to hug you, and then knock you unconscious and drop you off at my therapist's doorstep.

The thing is, I'm told I'm so smart, well spoken, so why can't I work it out myself? What does allowing someone else in accomplish?

Yeah but if he hadn't creepily asked for bra pics, he might have had a shot at seeing her actual real-life boobies. With his hands.

Wow you sound so much like me ~10 years ago.
I know it feels like this is just your character or the kind of person you are right now, but it's not. You're depressed. You need to talk to someone who knows how to talk to someone like you. This won't be fixed by a good conversation with a parent or sibling or buddy, or…

If you don't care about sex and just want to spend your days with her, then why not BE FRIENDS. That is LITERALLY what friendship is: Not having sex, and spending quality time together.

Nah dude, it's not stupid to want to know someone before asking them out. It IS however very stupid to pretend to be her friend for 3 years when you clearly are not interested in a friendship with her. You lied to her. You're the bad guy here.

Maybe it's "weird when we see each other" because she's trying to be your friend and you keep trying to turn it into something she clearly said she's not interested in?

'Sup?

This line alone is more entertaining than the entire Burton remake.

Oh me too, but I live in a city where dorms and campus life aren't a thing, so every time you go to a party where there's more than 1 college student, there's going to be lenghty, tedious conversations about rent and shitty roommates. They love talking about their living situations even more than they love getting…

Nothing about the cheating is relevant to my initial comment, so why do you keep bringing it up? I never wrote anything about her agency or the morality of her actions.

You seem really hung up on the cheating thing, when that's not at all what I'm talking about. I'm talking about someone in a position of power fucking someone whom he at the very least perceives to be weaker than himself.

I want to date someone who has touched a VHS tape at least once in his life. That's my main requirement.

No, look. I'm not saying it should be illegal or even generally frowned upon for a 20 year old to be with an older partner, long-term or one-night stand. I've had my share of hook-ups with older guys at that age. And I won't even touch the cheating thing because sometimes that shit just happens.
But there's a…

Oh my god!! All the conversations about roommates, seminars, internships, rent... gah. Shoot me.
