Hi ladies, I’ve never been in a relationship before and need serious advice. How do you know if you are ready to be gf/bf? Also what is the process of getting to know someone like? How does it work?

How old are both of you?

Take it slow. Try to get to know someone like you would with a friend. Just relax and be yourself. ❤️

Learning “on the job” is the best way. No amount of theory and prep will compare to the real thing, so just go for it

The process of getting to know someone you're dating is almost identical to getting to know a new friend. With some added benefits if you so desire. In terms of being "ready" to be gf/bf, it's about gauging each other's interest in continuing to get to know each other (typically exclusively). If you want to just see where things go naturally, you may want to remain open to non-exclusivity for a certain period of time. If the idea of you still talking to/hooking up with other guys (and him still talking/hooking up with other girls) is not your cup of tea, you just gotta communicate those expectations and desires. And open and direct communication is the #1 key to healthy relationships! Hope this helps.

Does it bother you when someone you care about won't let you treat them (like on special occasions such as birthdays and stuff)? I don't know why it's upsetting me so much, and I'm trying to figure out what the root of my issue is. I'm getting overly emotional about it. It makes me feel like I'm making it about me vs. them, which is not what I want to do at all. On the contrary, I want them to enjoy whatever I treat them to, but this is all backfiring because I can't control my emotions.
