I did. It was terrible. I wished I'd waited for someone better.

Probably helps if the boy gargles mouthwash and 5 min chewing mint before taking the plunge

He likely should have washed his mouth with soap prior by the sound of it.

Alas if it only were so. Horny teenage boys aren't terribly hygienic.

For me it never happened. I had one very attractive female friend who "friendzoned" me for 5 years. During that time she had hookups with men who didn't match up to me in looks, income or other factors. She knew I liked her. After 5 years I broached her why? and she said "I value our friendship too much".

At that point I realise I didn't value the friendship if there was going to be a "no touch rule". We parted the ways.


Your choice.
I would have kept the friendship as well as looking elsewhere.
A rather logic approach, I would have thought.

I really like women as friends.
Is it my age, my autism, or something else?

I don't care why.
I simply enjoy being supportive!
I enjoy being protective!
Perhaps it is a consequence of being gang-stalked for 25 years.

Who gives a crap?
I don't.

Read my lips: I like women as friends! 8)

Yes, I have been into the caffeine/chocolate. [sigh]
A bit of Xmas vice.
I should be "better" in around 12 hours. :mrgreen:


Well it was 32 years ago now so its quite possible she is busy now looking after her grandchildren. She did ring me a year later scolding me for being immature and saying the reason she freindzoned me was because her best friend was infatuated with me and she didn't want to come between us. Ironically I also thought her best friend also friendzoned me.

I often heard well afterward (time and distance) that certain girls were interested in me and I could/have should made my move (shrug shoulders emoji)....


Life's a biatch, huh? 8O

This aspect of the relationship differential is related to the law of demand and supply.

Feelings are beautiful if you portion them, just like making good food. Add the right ingredients in the right amounts and you get a wonderful meal.

Mmm...


The secrete ingredient is a dash of gang-stalking. 8O

He is only 21, FFS.
How many 21 year olds, these days, want to settle down?

These are the years to gain experience so you know what you want when you are ready for a proper commitment.

It ain't rocket surgery. ;)

I suggest people play the field, at this young age. 8)

That may not be something innocent people are ready for or desire. Like, Porn used to traumatize me.


From my perspective, it is a sensible, mature thing to do.

With experience usually comes greater wisdom.
I find it hard to believe you would have a lesser understanding of what you wanted out of life now than when you were 21.

Well, I am of the firm belief that very few 21 year olds intimately know who they are, let alone, what sort of life partner they want. 8)

You are lovely. :heart:
I don't want to upset you.
So let us agree to disagree. ;)

I wouldn’t say he’s a catfish because we met each other a few times already. Reason why I asked this is because he kissed me and doesn’t want a relationship this second so it kind of confused me.

Well he's only 21, he has no idea what he wants long term. You and he are clearly attracted to each other so you should just continue to see each other for now and see where it goes. And try to avoid the heavy discussions. Stick to anime, you and he must have that interest in common or you wouldn't have gotten this far.


Exactly. 8)

Some people do fall head over heels at an early age though. It's not the norm. Out of all my cousins, of which there are many, 2 are still with and now engaged to, people they met and started dating in their early 20s.


This is true. It was the case for my sister. She met her boyfriend in her early 20's and is still with him in her late 20's. Plus I know engaged couples in their early 20's. However, people are at different stages and some like to date around first.

I'd like to, at the very least, have my first kiss sometime in my 20's.


The trouble is, a lot of 21 year olds haven't worked out who they are.
At that age, many people drift apart because they are still discovering who they are and what they want out of life.

Agreed.



It sounds like he/she was more horrible than his/her breath, though.

You are a lovable skunk. I will not upset you, this time.

Admittedly oftentimes I end up more confused than in my 20s.
Due to the inability to tell what's proper and improper to want, and what's good and bad, I have gained my knowledge by reading and asking people rather than dating. Dating is very confusing.
