Got asked out by my friend

My friend (23F) just asked me (23M) out and I am not sure what to do. I do really like her and wish I could say yes but the truth is that she deserves far better than me. I don’t have anything to offer her and I’m not sure what she sees in me or why she likes me. She’s a far better person than me. I don’t know what to do though, I don’t want to say yes because I don’t want to waste her time and hold her back from finding someone who truly deserves her. But I also don’t want to say no and break her heart. Deep down I wish I could be the right guy for her but I’m not. Is there anything I could do or say to avoid both of these?

TL;DR: my friend asked me out, I don’t deserve her, I’m not sure what to do

How can I (27f) show him (28m) that he is worthy of love?

I (27f) am seeing someone (28m) who thinks he isn’t a guy that women would not like to date. He often makes comments that show that he is not comfortable with the way he looks. He is super shy and a bit nerdy. But I feel super attracted to him. He’s never been in a relationship & I don’t want to overwhelm him by just tellling him how hot he is to me 😅 have you experienced something similar before? I want him to know that he is worthy of love in a nice way without making it awkward or being pushy.

Tldr: He is insecure & thinks that women won’t love him, but I want to tell him that he is great

[26M] [26F] Resentment

Hi all,

To add some context, me (26M) and my gf (26F) have been together for 2.5 years. Had our ups and downs, most of which was lack of communication.

I’m really struggling with how things are at the moment, I always check in with her and make her feel appreciated but now starting to get resentful as she doesn’t reciprocate. For example, Christmas this year I went above and beyond to get her some nice things, whereas she didn’t really put any thought into it. It’s not so much about the gifts but more the thought.

I’ve brought up her lack of affection which she says she struggles with, I’m not sure how to go about this now?

TL;DR Girlfriend is taking me for granted and making me resentful of the relationship

Am I an asshole for having some kind of feelings for my EXs best friend after we broke up?

So some weeks ago my girlfriend of 6 years told me she had cheated on me which crushed me and we broke up. Our relationship sometimes felt like we were best friends who lived under the same roof so this is probably for the best. However during our relationship I have been very good friends with her friends and one of them to the point of me being able to be with her without my (ex)girlfriend (known that friend for about 6 years as well). I have always felt a good connection with her (friendly) and we are more similar than me and my ex. The last year of my relationship I have felt that it’s more fun hanging out with her then my then gf which I have questioned myself about.

So to the current moment. She has taken my side in all of this even though my gf and her has been friends since first years of school. We have talked on phone and been texting a bunch. She wants to meet when she’s home and talk and is also up for going for a drink sometime. I got invited to a new year’s party which my ex is not attending. She has even said she might cut the contact with her after what she did to me?

I have felt she might have liked me before but it was nothing we talked about. My ex also said that she is worried she liked me more but I told her we were just friends.

Do you think she might like me more than a friend?

Am I a total asshole for doing stuff with her that might lead to something more?

Otherwise me and my ex has had a really civilized breakup and talked a lot so not really any angry feelings. I am not doing this in any way to get back at her.

Might have had feelings for her more than a friend during our relationship but pushed it away because it’s wrong and I still loved my girlfriend.

Edit: Worried I’m just feeling this way because she has given me support during this shitty situation and genuinely cares about me.

TL;DR Broke up with my girlfriend of 6 years after she cheated on me and now I have been talking a lot to her best friend feeling it could lead to something more. Is this wrong?

Girlfriend's[19 F] acting all strange and new to me[M 20]

So about 3 weeks back, me and my girlfriend had a fight, kinda a big one where i was insensitive about her feelings, but i talked about it with her and solved it, but she kept her grudges and i was fine with it cause i can understand how she feels about it, but anyways fast forward to the last 2 days, and she's just been acting differently to me, in fact it feels more like she again has an issue with me, but she isn't clear about it, and like we haven't really talked over phone since that fight, we met but that was once and that's about it, when i talk about something, she ends it with an ohh, or just doesn't reply to it, fine, but it's not just that she even acts like the things I'm telling her are new and acts like we are new people, she recently went somewhere on a hike and i was asking about it cause i was genuinely interested about it, and she just said it was good and wasn't telling anything much about it, i was so hurt and i didn't even know how to tell it to her that i don't like the way she's treating me, i just wanna break down at this moment, i don't even have any friends that i can go talk to, she was literally the only one i had

tl;dr girlfriends been acting like we are new friends and isn't really sharing things with me, i don't know how to talk to her about it

Bf constantly refuses me for emotional and physical affection if I initiate

My(26F) bf(28M) and I have been on the rocks lately. We were lying in bed tonight, but he seemed a bit standoffish and quiet, so I asked him if everything was ok. He replied yes, although right off the bat seemed pretty annoyed. I asked again since it was pretty clear he was frustrated, but that made it even worse. Tbh I get how that can be annoying since I kept asking, so I tried to let it go. I then asked him for a hug, but he told me he didn’t feel like it...Those kinds of actions make me very unsure in our relationship. Whenever he initiates any form of contact I welcome it, but I always feel like it’s only on his terms. Whenever I try it’s met with rejection 99% of the time. Over time it makes me feel desperate and unwanted when I try to initiate. When I asked him why he didn’t want to hug, he told me I was only asking because I’m insecure and that I shouldn’t put my emotions on him. I’m always left second guessing myself and just don’t know what to do. I genuinely just wanted to feel held. Maybe I should have apologized for asking twice in hindsight. He’s always making these assumptions about me lately, so I’m left waiting only for him to initiate. I want to feel like I can be freely affectionate too, but to him it just seems like everything I do has a motive behind it or I can only wait for him to come to me.

TL;DR BF(28M) refuses me physical/emotional affection if I(26F) initiate
