When I try to flirt, I always get way too nervous when I try to compliment a girl. I mean, normally if it's just a regular compliment like "Hey, these drawings you made are really nice!", I'm fine. But when it comes to using words like "cute" or words that have an affectionate co...

What you said about doing something wrong or revealing my inexperience, I think you may be on to something there. I don't feel genuine affection towards a lot of people so chances to gain experience are few. So I always feel like I'm at a disadvantage

With all due respect, while I am experiencing and dealing with a bit of FOMO, I don't think it completely explains my behavior. Mainly because this timidity doesn't just apply to wanting to get laid. It's the idea of sex in general and the atmosphere it creates. Whenever I try to make a sex joke, I ...

I used to think that flirting with a girl was something that you only did after a few days or so of getting to know her, otherwise you come off as a creep. But apparently there is a way to flirt with a complete stranger right off the bat! I already know some of the basic don'ts of flirting: try not ...

Ok here's the deal. I can be myself and not pretend all I freaking want, but when it comes to actually approaching a girl and making a good impression, I have no clue how to even start. I have asperger syndrome so I can't even tell what makes a good flirt from a creepy one. I'm awkward, my sense of ...

I just got a message warning me that something that I posted violated Scarleteen's user agreements. Judging from what I said, I'm assuming its because I was just venting some frustrations and came off as......let's just say a bit too aggressive. It made me realize how intense my emotions are and tha...

Excuse my ignorance but I kept phasing out during sex ed in middle school. I just wasn't ready to learn about the process of baby making In movies, whenever a character is about to give birth, you always see people trying to rush her to the hospital in a panic. Why is that? What is it about having a...

Is that really what men see about virginity? Just being able to own them?! That's fucked up. I was under the impression that they got off on the idea of "wanting to taint a pure, innocent soul. The value of being wanted by someone who wouldn't give themselves away to just anyone. Watching them ...

I honestly don't know

I think I figured out why I want a girlfriend right now so badly. I could be wrong but I think it's because I want to experience young love specifically. When everyone isn't trying to act all mature and strict. People keep talking about all these experiences they have with dating and I want to feel ...

I remember crushing on girls only a few times when I was in high school. Sure, it was probably just infatuation and it never went anywhere, but I guess most crushes are like that. It was something. I didn't know how to move off of it at the time but at least I had a starting point. Even then, it onl...

I've never touched this subject before until a few months ago. I occasionally look up tutorials for how to have sex and how it works. But it seems like every time someone accidentally looks over my shoulder or gets behind me when I'm looking at this stuff, I instinctively close out the window. This ...

I know it can be an attractive quality for girls to have, but what about for guys? I know everyone has their own preferences but how likely is it for a girl to be turned on by my inexperience?

Um............ I know this is an awkward question but I just wanted to ask this before I forget. I heard that most dating apps will put men at the bottom of the priority list if they swipe right too often and they are less likely to come up for other people. I'm guilty of doing that and I really don...

Im sorry. You're right. I have been giving mixed messages. I guess I don't see how I can give something a break when it feels like I didn't even start. I guess its just some mixed personal feelings. I keep forgeting that we're in quarentine. Maybe its because I subconsciously don't want to believe t...

Meeting people online? Is that really safe? I don't know. There's just so many factors that come into play. It would be so much easier to just meet IRL

Well I'm a huge geek. I really enjoy video games and anime. I guess it'd be nice to have someone that has at least a little of the same interests because it would be so much easier to talk to them. The thing is I know most girls aren't interested in that sort of thing despite it being mainstream now...

Well how will I know when I'm actually interested in dating someone? What will it feel like?

I'm asking because I heard that the Tinder algorithm puts people at the bottom of the priority list if they're swiping right too often.

Oh, sorry. I didn't mean it like that. I guess I'm just tired and depressed. This quarantine has taken everything I hold valuable including my job and my social life, while leaving me with no way of getting it back. I'm sorry for sounding offensive. I'll try not to let it happen again. But please, i...

I'm at a point where I just don't care if anyone responds to me anymore. I've decided to resort to a system that I can mindlessly replicate without expecting anything. At this point, I don't even know what my type is but I want someone who is a geek like me, or at least interested in the same things...

I notice that I tend to masturbate once every day, sometimes even two. Is this harmful to my physical or mental health? Also what does that mean in terms of my personality? Am I more sexually driven than I once thought? Because I don't like the idea of being a horndog

Well then, what do I do? This stupid virus is keeping me at home and summer classes are going to be restricted to online so there aren't any ways that I can meet people for at least four months! I feel like I should just give up, but that's physically impossible! I mean it's a primitive instinct, ri...

It's just, before these feelings were tolerable, because at least I was going to clubs. At least there were opportunities for me to get out of the house and meet people. But now I'm constantly hit with no one responding to any of my messages in the one hope that I have left. And now I have to go thr...

I don't know. I've never once been successful in this game. I guess this is just my deprived mating instincts or whatever going out of control. Being in a relationship and all that.... I think I just.... want to know what it feels like, at least once. And I've heard the 20s are when the feelings are...
