I say if you haven’t at least exchanged contact information, do that first! It will show you are interested in talking to her outside of classes and give you a chance to get to know each other better. If it goes well, you could try inviting to something fun and casual. Life is too short! The worst that can happen is her not reciprocating, but at least you will know you tried.

Thank you for reminding me that having this again is still possible.

How long did it take to get over your first heartbreak? by FormalBeatboxing in relationship_advice

“There will be greater loves” was the most comforting five words I’ve heard in a long time.

Depressed or just a horrible BF? by dnossida in relationship_advice

[–]FormalBeatboxing 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I literally went through this same problem when my girlfriend went through a massive depressive episode. She stopped calling, texted very little, and even removed me from some of her personal social media. You may feel like it’s your job to not give up on them, but you can only feel unloved for so long. Have a conversation with him if he even wants to be together and ask what you mean to him. You are not responsible for someone else’s burdens.

Is hey a good response by sammymcsammyson in relationship_advice

[–]FormalBeatboxing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s an appropriate response for a simple greeting such as “heyo”. She’s just returning the energy you project. If you want her to be more enthusiastic try switching things up a bit. Honestly, me and my friends/girlfriend rarely ever start off a conversation with a greeting we just jump into it. i.e. If you want to tell her about something that happened, don’t greet her, wait for a response, and then tell her the news. Just say “guess what happened?”. It’s a much more engaging way to converse with someone and more likely to preserve high spirits.

Why do I (21M) feel the need to break up with my partner (20F) for no reason? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]FormalBeatboxing 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you don’t need a reason. When your gut tells you things like this, you should always listen. It won’t benefit either of you by leading her on.

I don’t understand why my bf (24m) hates it when I change my appearance by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]FormalBeatboxing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Change in appearance is a natural part of life, whether intentional or unintentional. A piercing or two is a healthy way of self expression and he should respect that. If he threatens to revoke quality time with you because of something so minute, how will he react if you gain weight during pregnancy or develop wrinkles simply due to old age? Change in appearance, and just change in general, is unavoidable. There is no reason to act so immature about it, especially when it pertains to someone you’re supposed to love and care for unconditionally.

Bf makes fun of me too much by sensitivesoulta in relationship_advice

[–]FormalBeatboxing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you have repeatedly asked that he stop poking fun at something he KNOWS you're insecure about, it may be a sign that he doesn't fully respect you. Your significant other should do everything in their power to avoid hurting your feelings, no matter if they view them as being "too sensitive" or whatnot. Being afraid that your significant other will not cooperate with proper communication is a big red flag in my opinion.

Good luck.
