Male here. We both just expressed our feelings yesterday. It's a kinda long distance relationship. but we have been there for each other through our tough times for a year now (as friends). I have never been in a relationship before. She knows that this is my first relationship. I know asking this is super weird. But I just wanna spit it out. TIA #dating #relationships #marriage If you are gonna troll, let's save each of our energy and time..Peace
OP, have you smelled each other’s farts? That is the proof that it is serious.
you do you. no need to create nicknames if you don't feel like it. some couples call each other daddy and baby, some call more abusive terms, some do random words, you don't have to copy anything. just do what you feel like.
Aww! You can DM me. I can share my insights
Oh
It starts naturally. You can start by calling her honey or babe, see her reaction and what she likes, and go with that. Don’t think too much. Enjoy the relationship. If it’s meant for you, these small things won’t matter.
Congratulations! For now, don’t sweat the details. Figure out how to spend time with each other, enjoy each other’s company, be kind to each other, and all the good things that come with the NRE.
I’d say do warmup litmus tests. Girls usually have timelines in their heads (conscious or otherwise) and want you to socially acclimate so they feel like it’s comfortable and natural. For example you can think of something a little less intimate like teasing, call her a silly bug after she does something funny and see how she takes it. Her reactions will give you all the info needed to feel it out
fuck next meetup
Those things should come naturally, don’t make them forced habit
Yeah, I totally get it. But sometimes when it naturally comes, it shouldn't be awkward or too much or artificial too..yeah it should happen from with in.
I’m not sure I love this chart but it’s a helpful first order approximation. Probably after you’ve defined the relationship but maybe before your first fight. https://thetab.com/2016/02/03/every-single-relationship-milestone-you-should-reach-72022 One thing to note. The other person might not say it back to you or even feel a little overwhelmed by the fact that you said it. That’s OK. Try to say it right before you have to go so that it doesn’t get super awkward if you don’t get the response you want. And say it because it’s your truth not because you need to hear it back. Be ready to accept them fully regardless of what they feel they can say back in that moment. And I love you is a full sentence. Don’t blur into a longer sentence after you say it. And try not to say it by text the first time.
How exciting!! Congratulations on you both expressing your feelings. As for those relationship tropes, take your time. Nicknames like “honey” or whatever you two come up with for each other will happen in time. For the word “love”, there is no hurry. You will know when it’s right. Again, there is no timeline.
Thank you very much. Glad to receive a positive message here. God bless.
