Re: Is anyone else in a similar position?

Hi @FordRanger , I am also in my 20s and relate to some of the things you are feeling. Of course everyone's situations are different but you are definitely not alone in what you are feeling so thank you for sharing. From my own experiences i can tell you that i felt overwhelmed with 'getting my life together' as i felt everyone else around me had it all sorted out. It wasn't until i realised that this was not the case that i started to ease the pressure on myself and feel happier with my situation.

Re: My parents

Hey @JJLemon18,

Thanks so much for sharing all of this with us, you've been really brave. No need to worry about making more posts, by the way - you absolutely deserve support and you're entitled to post here as much as you like

I'm sorry to hear that your Mum reacted so negatively to you trying to have an open and honest conversation with her. I can understand how that would leave you with all sorts of difficult and complicated feelings. You mentioned in your message that you feel as though you can't react. It almost sounds as though you feel a little trapped, would that be fair to say?

We're all here for you, JJLemon, and can hear how difficult this is for you. Please do keep using this space to share how things are going at home and we'll be here to listen.

Take care and speak soon,
Harry

Re: he asked 'when can we get intimate'

As someone who went through something similar it may be best to be honest and tell your feelings to him. If you don't feel comfortable or are not ready just yet to take things further it's important to let your boyfriend know. It does sound like he wants to take things further but I know he mentioned about not rushing, (I had the exact opposite in a way) but he does sound supportive and understanding. Letting your boyfriend know about how you feel could help him understand a bit more too that your ready and to just wait until you feel ready and are comfortable too

. No one should pressure you into doing something you don't feel comfortable doing.

Re: Going on a date this weekend - I feel like he's out of my league

Hey @henry16 - I can hear that you're feeling apprehensive about this date, and like @MatchaMia says, that's natural to some level when you're meeting someone new. It sounds like the conversation has been going well so far, and that you've got lots in common - both great indicators!

We could speculate about how we look, how someone sees us, why someone likes us etc, but it's not really helpful, because what matters more here is that he wants to see you - he messages you, he wants to meet you so presumably does find you attractive and isn't bothered by the age gap. It sounds obvious, but he's dating you, so if he is attracted to you, then I'd accept it

And likewise, you're dating him, so you'll go out with him if you're attracted to him!

If he's very into social media and posts a lot because it interests him, and you don't because you aren't interested in it, that's completely fine! You're allowed to like different things, and your self-worth isn't measured by your social media clout. It's not something I'd be worried about.

I hope the date goes well, and that you both have a great time together - enjoy the moment!

Re: Netflix and its sudden stalling

@Laura_tigger82 yeah we are doing good, my mum really loved it. When we first entered and watched the beginning we were a bit unsure but we stayed and it was brilliant. Yay awesome, hope you enjoy see it
