I'm dating my best friend of 6-ish months?
He's a dude.
I'm a girl.
Ok, now for the juicy background.
Basically, we became super close by bonding when we both got our hearts broken by different people we liked back then. Honestly, we were introduced by a mutual friend, and I don't know if we would've become that close without that introduction. We're completely different, kinda. He's a jock, and although he "tries" in studying, he's not an academic. I'm also athletic and part of one of our school's sports teams, but I'm also a hardcore athletic and known as one of the smartest people in our school. He has a group of friends. I used to, before everyone got jealous and petty of me and my success and now I eat lunch alone. Well, I guess I still have a few friends, and I'm still respected for my intelligence.
But we became best friends and we've always gotten each other. There were times when we didn't match. When he was stupid about something and we fought and I would reason logically with him and he would sulk for a day and he would apologize and we would make up, our bond stronger than before.
Then some things happened. We got into a fight over the phone recently, and before I knew it, I had confessed in an effort to keep our relationship.
And he said yes.
And now we're dating.
And its... great? I don't know. He says that he likes me...a LOT. I said that I loved him. But he isn't the type to express my feelings, unlike me, who will pour love on you.
And that kinda makes me insecure.
Also, my first boyfriend (this is my second time dating) left me kinda scarred because we had a great friendship before we started dating and then we broke up and I guess that we're still friends? but it's really awkward sometimes.
I don't want to lose my BEST FRIEND.
I don't know what to do.
I definitely like him. But sometimes I wonder if we're too different for it to work out.
I'm not sure if I even want this to work out.
I keep questioning whether we should have remained friends.
Please give me advice!!!! I would really appreciate it.
Thanks for reading.

If you want to know the secret to relationships, they're all about compromise. No couple's ever going to agree on things 100% of the time so there will be times when you'll have to give some and he'll have to give some, but as long as you've got that down things can work out. And if not then whatever.

But I feel like the bigger thing here is whether or not you actually want to be together and that's something you'll just have to figure out for yourself. I think it all basically comes down to two things: Do you like being with him? And do you think you like being with him more than just as a friend?

That's really the most I can give you, honestly. Maybe things work out and maybe they don't, but whatever happens it's not the end of the world or anything. Just take it at your own pace and feel it out, you know?

ok so there have been soooo many problems arising from our relationship, mainly because of how gossip-y our grade is and how little respect they have for individuals.
there was a "scandal?" I'm not sure if I can call it that, but basically there were many misunderstandings about a text that I did not sent but seemed as if I did to someone who I trusted, but apparently leaked it to his friend who hates me and spread it throughout the entire grade. The texts talk about me "using" my boyfriend as a means to gain "popularity", which I would never do. My boyfriend and I talked about this and I think he believes me? But his friends kept teasing him about it and they don't believe my story and they didn't even ask me about it before they talked about it and spread it. I just feel so betrayed because they are? my friends too. But I'm not sure anymore. I have a really, really bad past of being betrayed. And I'm not sure if I can handle it anymore. My boyfriend and I decided to keep dating because we do really like each other, but it's just so pressuring and every day I just wish that I could disappear and become a nobody so that people wouldn't say things about me behind my back. I just feel so hurt and insecure.

you sealed the deal when you confessed to him :")))


jokes apart, honestly, relationships takes two to tango. if you have insecurities, don't hide the Don't be afraid. the worst scenario is him not understanding and causing another fight lmao (but then people do bond over fights lmao)

but tbh, if your bf does no believe your part of the story, no matter ho much of it is the truth, it mens the he don't have much faith with in you.

to prevent any future misunderstandings though,you must constantly remind him that if you guys ever get into a fight, listen to the other's story fist before assuming the worst.

don't mind about those no-life peeps. they jus jealous u dating a jock boo
n yes they can pester you guys into reading your relationships, but do you are you really going o let the annoying pestering of other people decide where your relationship with him is headed?

If you know that you're sensitive, tell it t your bf. yes sure he can't be there to protect you all the time, but he can listen and possibly real to you (like i said, people re jealous)
even if you think no one is jealous, there will always be someone who will be (e or friend idk0

but don't let the scandals get to you cu if a scandal like that nearly made you guys break up, the scandals that WILL come will be no match for you :")

i shud stop rambling lmao, but yes, don't let others jealous opinion dictate your awesome relationship.
