I want to spend Valentine's Day with this person because I genuinely enjoy being in their company and the sex is also great. I really value this person and our relationship has always been FWB. I'm not hoping for this to turn into something more romantically. How should I approach him about Friday, or do you think it might make things weird?
I’m dating this guy who is displaying some non-committal tendencies. Kind of flaky between dates. Short, infrequent text exchanges. We live in different states so it’s hard to tell whether communication is light because it’s who he is (not chatty) or because he’s not that interested. He does initiate convos, writes back right away when I do, and calls on occasion. But it just...feels light.
When we are together it’s pretty awesome. Really strong connection. I see potential here, but I don’t know how to handle the light communication.
Of course he might also be what every article and post says when faced with this situation....not interested. If that’s the case, I think I still have at least one more chance to see him in person before he ghosts forever.
I also have a hunch that his light communication might be a sign of him being non-committal. Our last date was pretty intense (aMAZing), and he might be balking a bit. No I def have NOT asked for a commitment in any way.
I don’t want to scare him off. But I also don’t want to sell myself short either. I deserve to have someone give me the attention I need. How can I ask for what I need without freaking him out?

My friends and I always want more D&D. There's a few ongoing campaigns and not all of us are in all of them. A couple of my friends are forever-DMs and always appreciate a chance to play, especially together since one of them always is the DM. I want to DM more, but not commit to a full campaign. I was thinking of creating a setting (a large city and the surrounding area) and then hosting a series of one-shots. I also wouldn't have to restrict who I invite as it could be different groups of people - vets and newbies alike. I'd have people determine their role in the town (shopkeeps, temple priests, etc) and then keep some sort of facebook group or wiki for anything that does need to be shared across groups or between sessions. For example, maybe Players 1-4 attend a session that takes place at a tavern but then Players 3-6 investigate a crime and in another session Players 1-2 & 7-8 explore a nearby forest where people went missing. Mostly people could come and go except for when I can't finish something in a session (people could walk into a shop at any point, but if it's mid-dungeon, that group would be closed).
Anyone done something like this? Tips?
I feel like a fucking dumbass when dealing with these things, unless I leave packs of Marines in each base with turrets, which makes my main army less effective against Ling, Bane swarms. What is an effective thing to counter them?
It will determine if there’s enough evidence for trial. He’s been living his life for 40 years while she’s gone and her family can’t even visit her grave.
I'm a 19-year-old dude. Never had my first kiss, never really tried. I don't at all feel comfortable being openly romantic. The idea is fun but I just can't get there mentally. I only just started thinking "maybe I should try getting a girlfriend" about a year ago, I always told myself I'm not prepared for a relationship. I can talk to women all day long. I'm a pro at verbally flirting, but physically, the only times I can even consider making a move is when I'm playing it off as a joke. I could feel comfortable putting my arm around a girl for a minute if I was doing a 1920's voice and saying "you're goin' places kid, I'm gonna make you a star!" But if I was really into a girl and wanted to take it further? I'm suddenly walking two feet away from them on the date. Last Friday I went on a date where we were fighting over some controls for something and I ended up holding both of her hands for a bit during the play struggle, but actually going for her hand in a romantic way? I feel like I never could. This girl actively, outright tells me I don't have to keep my distance physically.
I'm relatively attractive, I smell nice, I'm a confident guy, I pretty dang close to loving myself, I'm 6'5", and I know I've gone out with plenty of girls who would have wanted me to make a move, but even when I know they probably want it, I just never can, not in a meaningful way. I can only do romantic stuff as a joke, and if I'm not taking myself seriously, how could she ever? How can I get past this? Maybe I don't want it enough? I've had a couple of girls throw themselves at me before, maybe I should just wait until one that I like does that?
I can only try this once every two years and I would like to get it right.
