hopeless romantic society discussion

Communicate. Tell him how you feel. Tell him you like him and spending time with him. In my opinion I think it’s better to just tell the truth. I personally hate lying I hate the way that it feels. If you continue lying you could lie your way into a really bad situation.


But that is such a hard situation girly I hope you figure it out:(
P.s I think it’s fine to kiss him just ask him what his boundaries are.

hi girly!!
this all sounds really dreamy - it seems unreal. in a good way.

but love bombing is real. if he declares his "love" for you when you didn't even meet that long ago, that's a red flag. if he was so unbothered with telling you he loved you, doing it so quickly, i doubt he fully grasps that word's meaning. and i doubt you're the only/first girl he declared his love to so unexpectedly. i honestly don't think he loves you in the way you think he does, i believe he's merely infatuated with you and wants to get closer to you by saying that. he probably wants to create some great memories, as what you described, sleeping in an open space under the stars, sounds really beautiful.
i don't think he wants anything serious and i don't think you'll break his heart by telling him you're not sure about your feelings.

the thing about his instagram being embarassing is very real because the best guys are the ones who don't really post. and from your description, i imagine him posting corny quotes/cringey pictures.

though, he does seem pretty sweet, especially since he extended his contract to stay more with you and that's cute. but my advice to you is to just enjoy it. you don't have to name your feelings or declare them to him. you don't have to entertain him just because he gives you attention. i'd say you rather enjoy this attention and learn not to crave it. create adorable memories you'll look back to and try to feel good spending time with him without thinking about the future. i say you leave this relationship only in this period of time and space. and maybe meet with him in the future if you REALLY want to. but don't make anything official. keep it a "situationship".

there, of course, exists a possibility where he's a really genuine guy and he really thinks he loves you, but i highly doubt that. although in that case, that's really sweet and you should try "breaking" things gently, telling him you're not sure about your feelings towards him but that you value the time you spend with him, as it is truly magical.

either way, i don't recommend making this an official relationship. live in the moment and break things off as gently as possible when the camp comes to an end.

whatever you decide to do, it is your decision and your decision alone, but i hope i gave you the help you needed. and don't stress yourself out too much! this is beautiful, however may it end. not many teenagers live through a connection like this, enjoy it!!

^ i definitely agree! communication is the best way to go about this. don’t be afraid to say what you really feel, you already seem to be going about this in a very polite manner, so i’m sure he will understand that you have good intentions. besides telling him how you feel, ask him how he feels! he might also be approaching this quickly because he’s nervous, and just saying what’s on his mind and isn’t totally digesting everything. so try to figure out what he’s feeling, and how he’s thinking about things.

wishing you the best of luck, i’m sure it will all be okay :) <3

Just be honest! Lay out what you want, what you’re ready for, and ask him what he wants/is expecting. If it could be a real relationship, you both need to be able to respect each other’s boundaries and your expectations for a relationship to match up. Either way, I wish you the best! 🍀🫶

I also would definitely give yourself time to evaluate your feelings. It’s not fair to yourself or him to go into something serious not knowing what you feel. There’s a lot of life left, and a lot of people to meet, so if it doesn’t work out, know God loves you and there’s boundless opportunities ahead(and he may be the one, it might just not be the right time if it doesn’t work out).
