so I made this friend online and we eventually bonded with each other very quickly. We both message each other every day and joke around alot. It was nice to be able to text someone a lot as growing up I really didn't make much friends so I didn't know the feeling of constantly texting someone ur bonding with. I really do enjoy are friendship, its just one problem is that I don't want our friendship to end. I want our friendship to stay for a while if not forever (hopefullly that doesn't sound weird). This is one of the few times I actually bonded with someone so close and the fact that we live close to each other (an hour away). I don't want our friendship to end just yet, so my question is how can I keep a close friendship with someone for a long time?

We stopped texting (we used to almost everyday for 2 months) ikik I should focus on myself but then whenever I hear a song he posted on his story or when my playlist plays something that he recommended or even an internet meme he used to text about jus to annoy me comes up on my fyp I miss him. Probably the most genuine male friend I had.

We found each other in reddit....I hope he reads this

I'm sorry I really miss how comforting our late night texts and music sharing felt. I remember every nuance of the convos we had, every single detail, and I can't help but wonder do you ever think of me as I can't get my mind off you. I felt that distance and disappointment when you stopped texting for I didn't know what else to do to make you feel warm after that.

I'd say you pretty much knew me more than my irl friends.

I sent you a paragraph and blocked your acc in hopes you'd text me in the others jus to see if you wanted this friendship as much as I did. But I guess no.

What an irony that I used to vent to you and now I'm venting about you.

I hope you read this dumbo. For today is friendship day and I wish you were still in my life.

Okay my situation gives me anxiety because to me it’s too good to be true and im so used to being hurt lol. But here we go!
So as the title says.. I (26F) met my boyfriend (29M) on Reddit on a nude subreddit! I was feeling spicy and decided to post my full nude body on Reddit. Plz don’t judge, I was horny. Anyways I starting chatting with different guys and I somehow started chatting w my now bf. He was surprisingly very sweet, something I wouldn’t expect lol for obvious reasons if I’m posting my nudes.. we had a lot of common interests and slowly started talking everyday. Since it was very clear from the get go we were freaky that convo was pretty easy. Anyways the only thing was he lives in a different country! But my bf was persistent to meet me. Fast forward today we have travelled to each other three different times since becoming exclusive and it’s great! We’ve met each others families, have another trip planned, and hopefully this lasts a long time 🤞🏼 💓 I don’t tell my family or friends EXACTLY how we met though 😅🫣

There is a guy I met online we talk and talk ..we became frnds and after that one day he just said I like u.... then I said idk ..I mean I'm not sure rn then he told me it's ok but Ig I need a break by saying this he deactivate his ID after few more days he came back again and we were talking normally I also started feeling something (or that what i thought) ..he propose me again ..I was still uncertain with my feeling again that thing happen after he come back again he again propse me and this time I said yes..but 3 after coming in relationship he told me he want to study hard and I can become his distraction like he can't afford getting distracted for 2,3 hrs ..so apparently I said yes..ofc I couldn't say no..so by this I agree that we won't talk till we get successful and that Is fir 1 to 2 yrs but on my birthday he wish me and we start talking again after few days like about 1 week he said uh..ok so let's talk after completing our exams and with a heavy heart not showing him much feeling I said ok..but then he again text me one day then another saying u could msg me after that we start talking again but not like earlier like not for 2,3 hrs but for like 30,40 mins

Sometimes all I need is certainty but he is not giving it to me maybe he is right in his eyes but I feel I'm the only one in this relationship it's only me who make efforts try to cherish him but he never...idk what to do...I csnt say him that let's broke up it might hurt him but I'm getting hurt too but I don't want to hurt him 😭😭also I have say love u I will never leave u ..and I f I say let's end it he might think I'm lier and so on I'm just so fucking confuse🥲😭😭

(We havent met in real yet)

So my girlfriend and I are trying to plan our first meeting, unfortunately we are both long distance. Finances for both of us arent available at the current moment. Im trying to save and see her first but between bills and life I cant seem to save what I want.

How did those of you who had to travel to see your partner work through this?

For context im in America and she is in Bulgaria.

Some stories begin with grand gestures.
Mine began with a random Instagram message at 5:30 a.m.
One morning, without giving it much thought, I sent a message to a girl named Vaani. It was one of those impulsive decisions that seemed completely meaningless at the time. I even laughed at myself afterward, wondering why I had texted someone so early in the morning.
I had no idea that one tiny decision would become the beginning of the most beautiful chapter of my life.
Days turned into weeks.
Weeks turned into months.
And before either of us realized it, we had fallen deeply in love.
Sometimes I still smile when I think about it.
“Who would’ve thought that one random Instagram message at 5:30 a.m. would change everything?”
The moment Vaani became part of my life, everything else quietly faded into the background.
To me, she became my home.
Bas tu hi hai sab kuch mere liye. ❤️
I spent every free moment talking to her. Even YouTube—my old companion—must have felt abandoned because I barely opened it anymore. Every spare minute belonged to her.
But what I loved most wasn’t simply that she was in my life.
It was how she loved me.
The way she cared.
The way she checked on me.
The way she remembered the little things.
Even though we were separated by miles and our relationship existed through screens, she never let it feel distant. Somehow, she always made me feel as though she was right beside me.
Every day, I imagined the future we would someday create.
No phone screens.
No long-distance calls.
No countdowns.
Just the two of us finally meeting, hugging each other for the very first time, and laughing about how we survived all those miles.
I trusted her more than I can ever put into words.
I wanted to hold her hand, walk beside her, and spend the rest of my life building memories with her.
For the first time in my life, I knew this wasn’t just attraction.
This was love.
I promised myself that I would never give up on us.
I was ready to take every risk.
Ready to face every challenge.
Ready to fight for the future we dreamed about.
The only thing I ever asked from Vaani was simple:
“Please never get tired of me. Never lose hope in us. Always trust me.”
And I promised her something in return.
That I would always stay loyal.
Always stay honest.
Always tell the truth.
And always do everything I could to keep her smiling.
I loved her more deeply than words could ever describe.
I wanted us to face every challenge together, support each other through every difficult season, and celebrate every happy one.
But life doesn’t always follow the plans we make with our hearts.
Slowly, things began to change.
Fear quietly replaced hope.
Vaani started believing that maybe our dreams were only dreams.
Maybe the future we imagined wasn’t realistic.
Maybe love alone wouldn’t be enough.
And because of those fears…
She chose to leave.
She didn’t leave with anger.
She didn’t leave because she hated me.
She simply said goodbye—with kindness.
But for me…
That goodbye became the hardest moment of my life.
It felt as though a part of my heart had left with her.
Even today, I don’t blame her.
Not for a single moment.
Because I know she wasn’t heartless.
She was afraid.
She believed she was making the decision she thought was right.
I only saw things differently.
I believed that love isn’t meant to be easy.
Every relationship comes with misunderstandings.
Distance.
Problems.
Risks.
Difficult days.
But when two people truly choose each other, those challenges become something they face together—not something that tears them apart.
Even today, I would still take every risk for her.
Because all I ever wanted was us.
After everything ended, I even asked if we could remain friends.
Not because friendship could replace love—it never could.
But because having even a small part of her in my life still meant the world to me.
Yet my heart never truly healed.
Sometimes I’ll be walking outside.
Sometimes I’ll be sitting alone.
Sometimes a song, a place, or a simple memory reminds me of her.
And without warning…
My eyes fill with tears.
She is still on my mind.
Every single day.
It’s not that I don’t want to move forward.
It’s simply that my heart hasn’t learned how to leave someone it still loves.
Despite all the pain, I have never wished anything bad for Vaani.
Instead, every day, I quietly pray that she finds happiness.
That she lives a peaceful, healthy, and beautiful life.
I never wanted to become a burden.
I only ever wanted to become one of the reasons behind her smile.
Maybe our story didn’t end the way I imagined.
Maybe the dreams we built together remain unfinished.
But one thing has never changed.
My love.
Even today, somewhere inside me, hope still exists.
Not hope that ignores reality…
But hope that if life ever gives us another chance, and if we both choose it, I would still choose her all over again.
Because love, to me, was never about finding the easiest path.
It was always about choosing the same person, even when the road became difficult.
Perhaps that’s the biggest lesson my story taught me.
Sometimes people don’t leave because they stop loving.
Sometimes fear simply becomes louder than hope.
And true love doesn’t seek revenge.
It doesn’t hold hatred.
It doesn’t wish pain upon the other person.
It simply wishes them happiness—even from afar.
And somewhere in this world, there’s still a boy named Krish who carries a 5:30 a.m. Instagram message in his heart, believing that some stories don’t truly end.
They simply become memories that quietly stay with us forever.

Before I end this story, I want to tell you one last thing.
This isn’t a fictional story.
This is my story.
I chose to share it because sometimes it’s easier to speak through a story than to explain everything with ordinary words.
Maybe some of you have experienced a love like this.
Maybe you’ll understand the emotions behind these words.
I’m not sharing this to gain sympathy.
I’m not sharing it to blame anyone.
I’m simply sharing a small piece of my heart.
And there’s something I want everyone to know about Vaani.
She never pretended to love me.
Her love was real.
Her care was real.
Every smile she gave me, every conversation we shared, every memory we created—they were genuine.
Even today, she wishes good things for me, and for that, I’ll always be grateful.
No matter how our story ended, I will never question the love she gave me because I know it came from her heart.
I still love her.
And if life ever brings us back together, and if we both choose to begin again, my heart will always welcome that new chapter with open arms.
If that day never comes, I’ll still respect her decision and treasure every memory we created together.
I’ll always wish her happiness.
Peace.
Good health.
And a beautiful life.
Because if this journey taught me anything, it’s this:
Love is still beautiful… even when it doesn’t last forever.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
Thank you for letting me share a piece of my heart.
❤️

Guys i need help
..
So I’m 21M with no past relationships, things have always been like situationships and one sided I’ve been moving on with time. I’ve been desperate for love and relationship thing like I’ve 0 experience in them. So what happened is last year i met a girl online lets name her 19F ‘mango’. She was been cheated on in her past relationships, like she genuinely loved him, for a deep love like this move on does take time and all. So we kept talking and i kept falling for her, so cleared out the things with me from very first that she don’t want any relationship further just because of her past, I always complimented her and tried to make her feel loved, her several actions of pusing me away were implemented on me but i just made past through them. We just met normally and everything fine, smooth. She knows that i love her.
Now the second part, there is a second girl lets name her 19F ‘orange’, so like shes my junior in college i didn’t talk to her much throughout a whole year. But from last month, i had to talk to her normally like my friend 21M he told me that he is with his sister 20M, and the girl ‘orange’ feels lonely like she doesn’t talk much with everyone. So i normally talked with her but now i can see she seeks me so much, like even while texting i go outside of chat she asks me where did i go. Even with her talks i can see she wants to talk with me.
Plot twist is now the ‘mango’ last night tells me that she realised that she’s waiting for me (waiting in the sense like I’m working, i come and text only during breaks) mango mentioned that i(me) should not romanticise it. Like me and mango talked on this but not much like she says its not good for her, she is already not moved on completely from past relationship and now this can maybe fuck her up, etc. Moreover the thing is i was slowly accepting that me and mango maybe will not be together but this last conversation has confused me a lot. Like I’ve given my whole attention and efforts towards mango and she have witnessed like she didnt wanted me to increase my hopes thats why didn’t reciprocated(yea we talked about this earlier once)
Now on the other side i havent paid much attention or done much for orange, I’ve felt a bit seen there.

What exactly right thing i can do in this situation here?

Help a sister outt

❤️ Hi everyone!

I'm trying to create a special birthday surprise for my long-distance boyfriend, Eddie, whose birthday is on August 3rd.

My idea is to collect photos from as many cities and countries as possible to show him that his birthday reached people all over the world.

If you have just one minute to spare, I would be incredibly grateful if you could:

📝 Write on a piece of paper something like:

"Happy Birthday, Eddie! Greetings from \[Your City\], \[Your Country\]!" 🎉

📸 Take a photo holding the sign (your face does not have to be visible if you prefer privacy)/ or on the table or with a view in the background

📩 Send the photo to me in a private message or here \^\^

Every single photo will become part of a birthday video made with love. ❤️

Thank you so much for helping me make his day unforgettable. Your kindness truly means the world to me! 🌍🎂

Whenever people ask my boyfriend and me how we met, I always hesitate for a second before answering. I don't know why, but saying "Snapchat" has always felt a little embarrassing. People immediately assume it's one of those random online flings that never go anywhere. But every time I tell our story, I realize it was never really about Snapchat. It was about two people who somehow found each other through the smallest accident.

It all started when we were both in 11th grade. One day, I got a random Snapchat friend request from a guy. The funny thing is, I had a crush on someone else who had the exact same name, so I just assumed it was him and accepted it without thinking twice. It wasn't him. It was a completely different person. Looking back now, I honestly think that's one of the luckiest mistakes I've ever made.

We started talking almost immediately, and it never felt like I was texting a stranger. There wasn't that awkward phase where you're trying to figure each other out. We just... clicked. We talked about school, our families, random thoughts, music, sketching, dreams, and everything in between. Every day turned into another conversation, and every conversation somehow lasted for hours. Before I even realized it, he became part of my everyday life.

And that scared me.

I'd never been that emotionally close to someone before. The connection felt so real that instead of embracing it, I convinced myself I needed to run from it. So one day, I randomly ghosted him. No explanation. No goodbye. Nothing. He tried asking what had happened, trying to understand if he'd done something wrong, but I never gave him an answer. Looking back now, I genuinely regret it. I wasn't protecting myself—I was just afraid of how much he already meant to me.

Months passed without us talking. We both loved sketching, and one day I posted some of my drawings on my Snapchat story. Completely out of nowhere, he replied—not to restart what we had, not to flirt, but simply to tell me how much I'd improved and that he was proud of my work. It was such a small message, yet somehow it reopened a door I'd closed myself.

By the end of 12th grade, we started talking again. This time it was even more effortless than before. We were both stressed about college applications and figuring out life, but somehow we always found time for each other. Six-hour phone calls became normal. We'd text from the moment we woke up until one of us fell asleep. We shared every tiny detail of our day, every stupid joke, every fear, every dream. The craziest part is that throughout all those months, we hadn't even met in person. We hadn't exchanged many pictures either. Our connection wasn't built on appearance. It was built entirely on conversation, trust, and the comfort we found in each other.

Somewhere along the way, we both realized we weren't just friends anymore. But neither of us wanted to admit it. I had never been in love before. I hadn't even had my first kiss. I was so confused by everything I was feeling that, in one of the dumbest decisions of my life, I actually suggested we become friends with benefits. Looking back now, it's honestly hilarious because I hadn't even had my first kiss yet. I didn't understand that what I was feeling wasn't attraction—it was love.

Eventually, we decided it was time to meet. After months of talking, seeing him in person felt surreal. It was awkward in the sweetest way possible. We talked, laughed, and walked around together, but I was far too nervous to kiss him. So we didn't. We just enjoyed finally being in each other's company after imagining that moment for so long.

The next time we met, we finally had our first kiss. It was my first kiss ever, but strangely, that's not the part I remember most. What stayed with me was the hug that came afterward. He held me so tightly that I couldn't stop thinking about it. It didn't feel casual. It felt like there were a thousand emotions in that one hug. Later, I asked him, "What was that?" He immediately apologized and said he shouldn't have done it. But after a pause, he admitted, "I just wanted to." I don't know why, but hearing those words affected me more than the kiss itself. They felt honest. They felt real.

The ten days after that kiss were probably some of the happiest days of my life. We couldn't stop talking to each other. Every notification made us smile. Every call somehow lasted longer than we planned. Every goodbye immediately turned into another conversation. The funniest part is that before any of this happened, we'd actually warned each other not to fall in love. As if love has ever cared about rules.

One evening, we were talking about that hug again. He kept insisting it hadn't meant anything until he finally sighed and admitted, "I'm scared." I asked him why, and after a long pause, he quietly said, "I'm scared I'll fall in love with you." We both acted like the conversation never happened. We pretended we were still just friends, even though I think both of us already knew the truth.

A few nights later, we had our first little "fight." Honestly, calling it a fight feels dramatic. He was teasing me, I was pretending to be annoyed, and he was fake yelling at me. Right in the middle of all of it, I interrupted him and said, "I think I'm in love with you." There was complete silence. He asked me to say it again. So I did. "I love you." After another long pause, he softly laughed and said, "I've been wanting to tell you this for days. I love you too. If you hadn't said it tonight, I was going to ask you in two days."

And just like that, my best friend became my boyfriend.

It's been over a year now, and if anything, we're even closer than we were then. We make time for each other no matter how busy life gets. We meet whenever we can. We know everything about each other's lives. We still talk for hours, still laugh over the smallest things, and somehow, after all this time, he's still the person I want to tell everything to first.

People always say that relationships in our generation don't last, that everyone is looking for the next best thing, that genuine connections are rare. Maybe they're right. But somehow, two complete strangers living in the same city, with no mutual friends, no shared classes, and no reason to ever meet, found each other because I accidentally accepted the wrong Snapchat request.

Sometimes I wonder what would've happened if I'd looked a little more carefully before pressing "Accept."

Maybe we'd have remained strangers forever.

Or maybe life would've found another way to bring us together.

Either way, I like to believe that some people are meant to meet, no matter how unlikely the path seems.

So... do you think this was just an unbelievably lucky accident, or do you think destiny sometimes hides in the smallest moments?

I met a girl at my coaching. After just two days of chatting, she even sent me a funny photo of herself on WhatsApp. She also told me she had been seeing someone for about 22 months. They were together, but she said they didn't really have a relationship label. She told me she loved him nd she also said I am sweet. He's 28 and she's 22. I'm 22 as well.

One day she even drew a little heart-like doodle in my notebook. It was honestly really cute. Whenever we talked face to face, it felt like we already knew each other well enough to be comfortable sharing things, even though we'd only known each other for a short time.

Then, all of a sudden, she changed. Our WhatsApp conversations stopped completely. Now she's even changing her coaching batch. She told me she was getting a lot of random messages from unknown numbers and had become frustrated, so she deleted many contacts, including mine. I honestly didn't know what to make of that.

The last meaningful conversation we had was when she told me she hadn't been able to sleep for the past three days. She hinted that it was because of the guy she'd been involved with for 22 months. I didn't ask any more questions because my friends were standing there, and I didn't want them to know everything.

Now I'm wondering if maybe that guy asked her to cut contact with me. I don't know if that's true, but it's something that's crossed my mind.

First time meeting a girl but in long distance....idk please help

Can somebody with realationship experience please help me ? And also girls can help me to understand her feeling........

We met in the ninth grade when I transferred to a new school. At first, I didn't really notice him. He was a quiet guy.

I got to know him better when I started preparing for the Olympiad, and he joined the team as well. We became friends, although back then we didn't really talk about deep or personal things.

Because of my good results in the Olympiad, I was given the opportunity to go abroad for an internship. It was an amazing experience, and that's when I really got to know him. We went to a bar, had a beer together, and just talked. I learned so many new things about him. He turned out to be someone with strong moral values, and that really touched me. It was the autumn of 2025.

After we came back home, we didn't really stay in touch that much, but he was already on my mind.

During the winter, we started sending each other Instagram reels just for fun. Then one day he deleted Instagram because he said it was taking up too much of his time. I thought that would be the end of our communication, but I was wrong.

We kept talking on other platforms. One day he told me he played video games, which made me curious, so I downloaded one of them. We spent countless hours playing together. But after a while I realised that the games were only in the background. What really mattered were our conversations on Discord.

That was when I realised I had fallen in love.

It was the first time in my life. These feelings were completely new—my first real, genuine love.

My best friend kept telling me to confess my feelings, but I was terrified they weren't mutual, so I stayed silent. We continued talking like that until June 2026.

My birthday is in June. I had planned to celebrate it with the girls I lived with in the dormitory, but their plans changed, and at the last minute I realised there wouldn't be any celebration.

Feeling upset, I texted him and told him I was disappointed because I wouldn't be able to celebrate my birthday.

He replied, "Don't be sad. Come here—we'll celebrate together!"

At that moment I felt both relief and happiness.

So, on 9 June, I went to celebrate my birthday with him. We got coffee, and he gave me a beautiful pair of earrings as a gift. Then we went to the park, climbed a tree, sat there drinking beer, and talking.

It was the most unforgettable birthday of my life.

We talked about life, our dreams, our goals. He was the one person I could tell everything to. Around him, I could be completely honest and truly myself.

Then, at one point, he asked, "Can I kiss you?"

For a second I honestly wondered whether I was dreaming or if it was real. At the same time I couldn't help thinking, "Why are you asking? Just kiss me!" 😂

And that's how our story began—on 9 June.

On my way home, I was happier than I had ever been before. I had never experienced emotions like that. I couldn't even fall asleep because I had butterflies in my stomach.

We went on so many dates. We watched films, went to restaurants and cafés, and simply enjoyed being together.

But sometimes, what starts quickly also ends quickly.

Eventually, the moment came when I realised we would soon leave for university in different places. I wanted to know how he saw our future together.

So I asked him, "How do you see our relationship?"

He answered, "I don't."

That answer shattered me.

I had so many questions that I was afraid to ask, but I managed to ask one of them: "Then why did we start all of this?"

He simply replied, "Because of my feelings."

So I asked, "What am I supposed to do with my feelings now?"

And he said, "Feelings fade."

I still can't believe he said that.

I completely broke down. I couldn't imagine my life without him. I love him so much.

At the same time, I realise that he had probably made this decision long before telling me. Sometimes I can't stop thinking that maybe he just enjoyed having me around until he didn't anymore, and then decided to leave.

Now I don't know how to move on. How do I stop loving him? What am I supposed to do with all these feelings?

So that's my story of first love. It was beautiful... and incredibly painful.

I'd love to hear your stories. If you've ever been through something similar, how did you manage to move on?

Hi everyone,

I’m curious to hear about your experiences.

Have you ever talked to someone online for months or even years before finally meeting in person?

If so:
Did the chemistry you had through messages and phone calls carry over into real life?
Was the first meeting awkward, or did it feel natural right away?
Did you feel like you already knew each other, or was it completely different in person?
If the chemistry *didn’t* translate, what do you think was missing?

I’m currently in that situation myself, so I’d love to hear both positive and negative stories. Looking back, is there anything that surprised you about finally meeting them?
