did you get to see him yet?

Yep! We went to a milk tea place and then an art thing for three hours and I taught him how to waltz (incorrectly but hey its better than nothing) it was really great, I really like him

omg that sounds really fun i'm glad it turned out so well

Same! I know young love doesn't last but I'm planning to try and keep this as long as possible

from the way you talk about it this seems like it will last for a long time

I hope so. I've seen other people's relationships crash and burn and it's always been cause they weren't compatible enough or one of them wasn't trying, but we traded phones to laugh about each other's gay ranting and it seems like he really does like me as much as I like him. We're also pretty similar people, so we don't have the issue of not being compatible (same love languages, similar political standings, similar attachment level/style, etc). He doesn't go to my school and wont for high school either, but it'd not going to be long distance (we have a scheduled thing every friday and were contstsntly planning dates). I just hope it's enough

i hope so too. you should convince him to join bp lol

I've been trying with very low energy cause if he joined he'd 1) see all the weird mental health stuff I post here and 2) have to deal with the transphobic trolls and he doesn't deserve that

true :( if he does join though let me know

I will! His username would be the same as on pronouns page (i have him in my circle so you can check)

also my new post will take forever to be approved i bet but i need advice can you help?

It's not approved yet, what do u need help with?

i have this friend at church, she was the first church friend i made when we started going during this past summer. no one at this church knows i'm gay/ace/nb (except for one person who doesn't go that much anymore) and they all call me by my deadname including this friend. i want to tell her since we'll be going to the same high school next year and she's going to find out at some point, but i'm scared and i don't know how to tell her. she keeps assuming when i tell her that i have a crush that it's a guy, and keeps talking about "when you have a boyfriend blahblah..." and earlier when we were hanging out we were listening to a song and she said "you should dance to this song with your husband at your wedding". at another point we were talking and the conversation topic went on to being gay and she said "i don't care if someone is gay but i will be sure to let them know that i like BOYS" and that's what made me afraid to tell her. cause i was actually gonna tell her that (continued)

day but that changed my mind. after she said that she asked if i was gay (i dress and act so gay idk how she can't tell) and i said no very quietly. ik i don't owe it to her or anyone to come out to them but i know eventually i need to, preferably before school starts next year especially if i decide to go by bee at my new school

I'd say you should just tell her- if not about the gay part (she do3snt need to know) definitely the nonbinary part, just for your own mental health. If she decides to have a problem with it, that's her fault.

okay thank you. currently i have bigger problems since i just found out the worst news of my life and i need to tell someone can i tell you?

Y3ah, what is it?

so we found out last night that we're putting our dog down for aggression. we haven't even had her for 3 years. i've been crying almost nonstop and we all stayed home from school today and it's happening soon. we don't have much time left with her. she got me through so much and i can't not have her and i don't know how i'll survive without her.

Oh my god that really sucks. I'm so sorry, that's incredibly unfair and neither you nor the dog deserves that. I think that the only thing you can do not is make her last few days/weeks her best ones. I'm not very good at grief, but if you ever need to talk to someone, I'm here

thank you. my parents don't want me to tell any of my friends until school is out for them but i had to tell someone. i probably will talk to you just fair warning

That's okay! If you ever need to rant or just talk, feel free to reply to an old comment of mine

let me copy and paste

Absolutely! I'll check now
