i (25f) need advice on how to make up for missing my boyfriend's (28m) birthday trip due to COVID last moment?

My bf (28m) and I (25f) have been planning a trip for his birthday this weekend for a while. We've invited all his close friends along and they're flying in today so all of us could travel together from here tomorrow.

Unfortunately, I was feeling sick and feverish for the past 2 days and got a COVID test, and received my positive results today. I feel crushed, because i wouldn't be able to join in on the trip now. My boyfriend is really sad and says the trip doesn't make any sense without me, but I'm still encouraging him to go because all the bookings have been made and all his friends will be here soon. If he stays back, i anyway would still be in isolation on the day of his birthday. I want him to enjoy himself, but he keeps saying it won't be fun, but i know he'll end up going as right now there's not really any alternative.

I want to make it up to him by giving him a nice surprise. I most probably would recover by the time he's back from the trip, so i could meet him at the station when he comes back, or surprise him in a different way. I really need suggestions for what i could do so that he feels special.

For background information, we've been dating for just over a year. I'll be leaving for my Master's abroad in a few months, so this was supposed to be a special trip. I feel really upset and i would love to make him feel better in some way. Any suggestions are welcome

Tl;dr - have to cancel bf's bday trip due to COVID, want advice on how to do something special for him to make up for it.

Why Would A Woman (18F) Be Shy Around Me (19M) and Me Specifically?

I (M19) have been friends with this one girl (F18) for since we were young kids and I think I'd be interested in pursuing something romantic with her. Problem is, she's become much more shy and reserved around me. This wasn't really a sudden thing, it's been the case for the last few years. I'm not a particularly big or intimidating man, and it's not like we've had any kind of falling out or negative interactions. And Ive been very close with her family for practically as long as Ive known her. And she's still bubbly and talkative around her girl friends and even her other male friends. Should I be concerned about this?

TLDR: A girl I'd like to pursue something with is shy around me even though we've been friends for a long time. Should I be concerned?

I 24(M) am falling in love with 34(F) who is unattainable, help

TLDR; we met through my work which strictly does not permit friendships nor anything more with clients. Also we have 10 year age gap. We’ve already broken the rules by spending lots of time together outside work. The feelings seem mostly reciprocated but then she seems to feel bad about the nature of it all and I do too. I need help :(

I (24M) am personality wise much closer to someone 30+ and get along better with this age group than my own. This person (34F) I met through work which strictly forbids any relationship outside work so I’ve already fucked up because we’ve already gone to dinner a ton, been clubbing, etc. together and every second I spend with her further grows my attraction. It’s not even sexual attraction (yet) I am just in love with her personality and her beautiful smile and everything about her as a person. I can tell she likes me to a good degree but she gets messed up when she thinks about our age gap because she flirts with me and then brings up the age gap verbally and it’s obvious. I want to tell her it means nothing to me. But it does because she wants kids and l’ve barely thought about that. Also the premise of how we met is an issue. We both have similar trauma in our pasts which furthers the emotional connection. She stopped altogether bringing her on/off bf up and I’m too afraid to ask about him, she seems to be inviting me to things instead. Everytime together (nothing inappropriate or sexual has happened) feels so right, more than with anyone else I’ve dated or even met. What tf do I do? I cannot get her out of my head. She’s beautiful. I don’t hunk of her sexually (yet) and I feel so awful but I cannot make progress dating others since my last relationship because they wrent her. I want her so badly. I just want to lay with her and be with her with our dogs. It’s not sexual. She’s my perfect life partner tbh. I’ve tried to get the crush gone but is not working. Any advice? Thanks

I (19M) am confused about "someone's" (19F) attitude towards me

Hello Reddit!

As the title says, there is someone who makes me confused and I've been wondering why is she treating the way she is now, what would i have done wrong?

So to start, i know this girl since 7th grade and we were very close friends. She would always laugh at my jokes, we would always laugh together. At the very beginning, i liked her a bit but I didn't tell her anything since I didn't think she saw me that way, then I decided to become friends, so we became friends. Fast forward to after graduating, we went to seperate highschools. She would always text me, would want to talk me, ask about how the things going etc. since we couldn't see each other irl. During summer vacations since 2017, she works at a bakery which is very close to my home. We would see each other there, talk occasionally.

During quarantine times she was working there since there was no school, and again we would see each other and talk.

Fast forward to 8-9 months before now; I started seeing her at that place since it was summer vacation again. But this time, something happened. I started to like her(That wasn't sudden that much actually since it is not my first time liking her, but summarizing it, it sounds like that) And for some reason, I thought maybe she liked me too. Like, think about it; she was the one who texted me first mostly, she would be very happy to see me, and she was into my interests back then middle school since she bought me a gift -a comic book- which almost none of my friends would know I liked comics. (that might sound funny but I swear who would know I liked comics, she must have researched about me, and she herself told something similar to that like ''I asked x about what would you like'' Like who's x, how would they know that?)

Girls would do all of these to their close friends too, right?. Or, they don't? That's where my confusion starts.

So since I was into her now, I kinda started to treat like it, but I was friendly, nothing like ''Hey let's go on a date.'' I tried to show a little interest, since I think it didn't go well with my last crush because I was too cold against her. To give some details, I asked her to go somewhere to chat(she said she can't because she is working and she's busy almost all the time) ,stopped by where she works for a few times while we would walk with my cousin(19M) at evenings, while he was at my home for a couple of weeks during vacation, and I texted her about her Instagram account which I could not find because it didn't exist then, and that's it.

I guess things started at this point: Last time I talked with her -more correctly, tried to talk, because I was going to my cousin's town with him for a while next morning- ,and that night I passed by to her workplace to see her one last time before going but she wasn't there and I texted her something like ''where are you, i passed by but couldn't see you'' .And for whatever reason that text hasn't been sent since then. (No she didn't block me, maybe she changed her number, i don't know really, and maybe you now think the reason why I couldn't find her on insta was because she blocked me there too, not that it didn't exist; but that is not the reason either, I will explain now.)

And the morning, I was on the roads with my cousin. I was at his town now after a couple of hours. After a few days -or weeks,I don't remember precisely- ,when I was on Instagram, I saw her account on my recommendations, saying ''new account''. Now that her account existed, I sent a request to her, nothing wrong with that, right?

But things didn't go like that.

After more or less TWO WEEKS after I sent that request, guess what happened- She blocked me. And I have done nothing about her ever since. Didn't call, didn't text, didn't ask anything about why did she do it. After 2-3 months, I was back home.

Fast forward to now -roundly 3-4 weeks before now- I saw her again. I hadn't seen her since that ''blocking'' happened -which is for months. I saw her because for some reason universities went to online for a short time in my country. Since there was no school, she had spare time and she visited where she was working during summers. I was there, to buy some breads as usual, and i saw her, as she saw me too. But she pretented to didn't see me. That was like that for a few times again, she didn't look at me, I didn't look at her. And I haven't seen her ever since schools re-opened.

Not forgot to mention, when she saw me first time after that long time not seeing, she unblocked me on Instagram, but did not send a request. Just unblock.

Now, all my confusions about everything that has happened: Why is she treating like that?

A million possibilities have crossed from my mind, but I don't seem to be sure of any. Does she want to talk to me, or doesn't she? Like why would it take two weeks to block me, or why would she unblock me right after seeing me? If you don't want to talk to someone, you just block them right at the moment, and never think about them again, right? This. This is all what makes it confusing. I am okay with her not talking to me, and I'm not insisting on anything. I just want to know why would the reason be. Since I could not ask her -to not pressurise it?- I thought maybe you could give me some light.

I hope I summarized it all well, and don't cause confusions.

See you, Reddit.

TL;DR: There is a girl who used to be interested in me and love me so much(im not certainly sure as a friend or she liked me once) ,but i showed her a little bit interest recently and she stopped talking to me and i want to know why, is it because she didn't want me as anyone aside her friend, or maybe i showed that interest too late etc. etc.

Need urgent Advise (me M/20 she F/20)

Need urgent advice

I just saw a vdo of 13 reasons why which reminded me of my ex

She too was a depressed person with no frnds and dealing with chronic anxiety issues

We had an extremely traumatic breakup 6 months ago (last year sept)

I do not miss her nor do I want her back I am over her but I still struggle with post breakup stress.

But the vdo has made me extremely restless and I have this very powerful urge to just check if she is fine

though a part of me is afraid that it would ruin all my healing I have done over the period of last 3 months and bring back the trauma

Please advise me should I check if she is fine? All I'm gonna do is just check her social and see is there is any activity which would be enough to know she is fine and living her life.

Tldr

Is it worth contacting ex after 6 months post bu
