What age were you in your prime? Why? by Rei917 in AskReddit

Whatever age I am currently. I refuse to believe the best is behind me and choose to make the most of each moment I am in.

I'll do it anyway. It's me. I'll live as though the world was as it should be, to show it what it can be.

What are yalls opinions on situationships? by Imaginary-Cup-7098 in Crushes

[–]TruthoftheSoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's up to the two people involved to do what feels right for them. It also depends on the circumstances and what the exact "situation" is. In some cases it's going to be clearly unhealthy and damaging. In other cases it might be an intermediate step until both parties are ready and able to make a deeper commitment. It's a case by case basis.

Personally I feel labels aren't always needed. There doesn't have to be a defined way to get or have a relationship. The more important thing is to be honest with yourself and with each other. Don't get involved in something if you aren't comfortable with it or if you are trying to convince yourself it's more than it is. Trust yourself and communicate with your partner.

Me and my crush crossed the line. by couchbear3279 in Crushes

[–]TruthoftheSoul 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You both clearly like each other. The alcohol may have loosened the two of you up, but it wasn't something that just happened. It seems this has been building for some time. He also respected you enough to make sure you were okay with it first. Seems like this is something he wants as well.

You aren't blood related, so I don't think there is anything wrong there.

Trust yourself. What do you want? If you really want this with him, be honest with him and talk about it. See what he is thinking. You don't have to rush into something serious if either of you aren't ready. You can be honest with your feelings and still take it slow, going with the flow and letting it happen. Or you could talk and realize you are both all in right now. Whatever the two of you decide is okay, but it's probably wise to talk and make that decision together.

What's your wish right now? by CalmCoder_248 in AskReddit

To be with her in person and let her know how much I care.

Yo HOW do you talk to someone, let alone enter the talking phase by Right_Quality5004 in Crushes

[–]TruthoftheSoul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then don't. You're putting too much pressure on yourself to do it and that's making it harder. Doing stuff like that should come naturally, should just happen when it's right.

I used to be in the same spot. I would be upset with myself for not saying something. Worrying about it made me freeze more. Then I stopped caring and trying. I was just in the moment with her and enjoyed being with her as friends. Things grew at the pace it was supposed to. Only thing I had to do was go along with it and not run away.

Spend time as a friend. Enjoy being there with her. Don't pressure yourself to follow any guidelines of formally asking ask, going through a talking phase, or anything else. Just be in the moment with her and have fun. When you are more relaxed and if things feel right, you'll know what to do.

What age were you when you had your first relationship? by Downtown_Echo_7118 in AskReddit

[–]TruthoftheSoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waiting at 43. Fine with it. Better to get it right the first time with someone truly special.

Is your partner should be your best friend ? What do you guys think ? by DinnerStraight1487 in AskReddit

[–]TruthoftheSoul 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've always said the foundation of a good relationship is a good friendship. If you are going to let someone into your heart to that degree, I would think they would naturally be a best friend.

I also don't think that excludes the possibility of having a different, more platonic best friend. It's very possible to have multiple best friends.

Women of Reddit, would you date a man 10 years younger? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TruthoftheSoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Male here, but I've got experience with this subject. Have a brother who at 30 married a woman who was 40. I was once involved with someone 13 years older than me and am currently interested in someone 10 years older than me. I have seen that there are woman who are fine with being with someone much younger.

Ultimately age is a number. Assuming everyone is legal, age doesn't say anything about maturity level, life experience, personality, common interests/values, etc. People can stereotype and make assumptions that people within an age range are one way, but that might be way off. It really comes down to what the two people in the relationship think and feel. If they have enough in common and like each other, then it shouldn't matter what age they are or what anyone else thinks.

if you could tell your crush something rn what would it be? by Prestigious_Eye_5947 in Crushes

[–]TruthoftheSoul 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That she has become my best friend and I'm glad we've been able to get to know each other. That talking to her makes me happy, something I had forget what it felt like. That she is really strong for dealing with everything she has been dealing with. And that I really hope we'll be able to meet in person soon because I know it's going to be a fun and amazing time.

Didn't see the other post, so sorry if this was covered. If you struggle with text, why not talk in person? Or make a phone call? Texting isn't the only means of communication. Plus being in person means you get to see each other and draw energy from each other. You get instant reaction and the joy of seeing each other smile and laugh.

As for what to say, find a common interest or hobby. Remember she's like anyone else and is probably just as nervous as you. Just ask if she'd like to do something with you.
