See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

I went ice skating with her and we held hands because neither of us can skate and it was perfect but I’m not brave enough to grab her hand the rest of the time ever because she’s my best friend but WHAT DO I DO?

is she gay/bi/opentomakingoutwithgirls? if so, be brave and grab her hand. we’re all on thin ice most of the time.

is she for-sure straight with no apparent expressed or latent or anything queer feelings? if so, be honest with her and the world that pursuing this or putting more energy into it is sort of pointlessly destructive.

haviland says, “you know if the feeling is reciprocated”

i got drunk. i cheated. she’s far away. i’ve told her. she will never forgive me, i know it. i love her. i’ve never hated myself more. i never would have done it if i was sober. am i the worst person alive? can this be fixed? i will never forgive myself.

haviland says, “always forgive yourself, first of all. maybe it happened for a reason. go alcohol free for a while.”

bcw’s dad told her, “suck it up and keep going ‘cause you sure as hell can’t go back.” bcw says, “if you feel like the worst person alive then you won’t do it again. it’s an important feeling. forgive yourself, but don’t forget how it feels.”

i say people get drunk and cheat on their girlfriends every day, and most of them deal with it by keeping it a secret. you’re honest. that’s a thing. be honest with yourself, you know you’re not the worst person in the world.

I somehow lucked out and got an insanely hot/extremely attractive girlfriend. Sometimes, however, my brain is stupid and I get very insecure. My body issues tend to swallow me whole and I don’t know what to do about it.

Hey silly. I bet your insanely hot/extremely attractive girlfriend thinks that you are also hot/extremely attractive in like AT LEAST many different ways – she’s with you for a reason, yeah? These reasons are probably not all physical/body-related reasons, so maybe focus on why you’re awesome and run with that instead.

We are all dealing with our own random sets of insecurities, I’m sure even your hot girlfriend has plenty of them. I do. I’m just saying, you’re not alone here girl. Keep fightin the good fight.
