She has friend zoned you, but as you said, you don't want something more.

Option 1. You wait around for years in case she changes her mind. Basically pen pals.
Option 2. You move on with your life. You don't have to cut her off. Reply to messages she sends. Send a happy birthday text. Like her stuff on social media if you happen to see it. But don't see her as a close friend or romantic partner.

I say move on.

Agreed 100%

Sorry but as a gay male, I’d peace out….

If you’ve both made it clear you don’t want to date I’m not sure I understand what the question even is. What are you looking for? What is there to run from?

We’ve hooked up before so it’s not new but affection has been getting less and less. Both made it clear we don’t want to date…then what are we doing..? I don’t want to be just a pen pal when we’re away, but don’t want to write her off too fast

If you both don’t want to date then yeah no reason to “run” but not reason to invest anymore in it. If you have other plans to visit her city then sure hit her up, share memes on insta, but spend actual time on relationships with value

Wondering how honestly you’re talking about what’s going on. You seem kind of in the dark about important thoughts.

Update: she told me she realized she doesn’t like girls as much as she thought…Onto the next 👋😈

Bye feliciaaaa

Kinda wish I didn’t break up with my ex until he got me the nice mechanical keyboard he promised me back in Christmas but then “forgot” to get me a gift. He offered to get it for me in January and I was like, it’s fine don’t worry about it, you can make it up to me later. Anyway, it’s too bad. Look how pretty this looks

Ok, I’m gonna say this. Schools should open. Now hear me out. My wife is a family doctor, she is working insane hours, she is treating covid patients, and there is a lot of days when she has to stay at the hospital without coming home. My neighbour works in a local grocery store, so he has been at work since the Day 1 of lockdown. So if you need medical help, or want to eat, it’s ok for those people to be at work, but their kids have to stay home? Cont’d >>

I am in a long distance relationship with someone who is currently in B school. He spends pretty much all his breaks and holidays traveling with his classmates. Most of the time I am fine. But for some important holidays and my birthday, I told him we should spend time together. He just said it’s more important for him to bond with his classmates and ignore my ask. It’s really disappointing and I don’t know what else to tell him. Is that a reasonable ask or am I being dramatic?

I ended up eating dinner in bed by myself and getting brunch on my own.

My aunt passed away suffering from cancer last year and didn’t have her own kids. I was there by her side throughout her battle. I still wish I had done more, made her life easier. I probably sound petty, but a part of me is forcing me to re-evaluate every interaction I ever had with her.
