Cute, but stressful

By Anonymous - 30/09/2022 15:30

Today, I have been with my boyfriend for about 9 months. I still can't work up the courage to tell him I love him. I've been bursting to tell him for 4 months, but for some reason I can never seem to get the words out. FML

Today, I finally got the courage to tell my boyfriend that I love him. We've been dating almost a year and in a few days we will be moving into the same apartment building and attending the same college. He said, "I'm sorry, I don't feel the same way." FML

The L Word

Today, I told my boyfriend that I loved him for the first time. The L-word is probably one of the only things I'm scared to say, so what did he do? He stared at me blankly before making a farting noise with his mouth and asking if he could go get Chicken Express for dinner. FML

Take the hints

Today, my boyfriend declared he doesn't feel ready to move in with me for at least "some more years". We have already been together for five years. When he bought an apartment one year ago, he kept it a secret for three months. Maybe I should learn to take a hint. Or several hints. FML

Today, my best friend, the man who I've been in love with for nine years, finally told me he loves me and wants to spend the rest of his life with me. Unfortunately, it was while he was using me to practice proposing to his girlfriend. FML

Today, I worked up the courage to tell my girlfriend that I love her. She made a face like she'd just sucked on a lemon and said, "Um... yay, I guess...?" and awkwardly left the room. FML

Offer to try anal if you haven't yet. I'm sure he'll understand!

girl! you don't say it first. He should be wooing you until he says he's committed to you.

Text him 'I <3 U' and explain you have a hard time saying it. You two can use the emoji instead.

Noone here can judge the speed of your relationship for you. What do you feel his "feelings" are? (Not what do you want them to be) Are they physical? Emotional? Can you tell if he is truly happy to see you and be with you? Does he focus on the physical activities? Search yourself first. If you believe he feels the same, TALK to him and be direct. Do not hint at things. We guys cannot read hints from the fairer sex to save our lives.
