On Age Differences, Irrational Jealousy, and the Haircut
So off topic but I felt the need to follow up with all y'all. I'm LW1 from 2 weeks ago... And last weekend my boyfriend beat me to the punch and told me he loves me.
Thanks for all the advice and anecdotes. You're all so amazing! I guess my fretting was for nothing.
Oh yeah, and I started crying when he said it so he got really worried. I'm just a sap, though.

On Love, Bathrooms, and the Older Male Coworker
@applestoapples I'm LW1. Two months ago he started calling me "my love" as part of a joke and realized what he was saying, so we had to Talk about it. That's when he said he wasn't ready. He works on some mysterious timeline where he thinks certain thing happen at certain times. Three weeks into dating we had a similar conversation about how he "ugh hates" the word "boyfriend," but two months later it was no big deal. With the "love" thing, he felt like saying it at that point would be rushing into it. I was basically crying in the car at this point, so I'm sure he figured out what I was thinking. He felt horrible and basically knew he fucked up and then continued to fuck up when he tried to fix it.

@Princess Langwidere I'm just amazed that he knew my boyfriend is Septimus.

Hey, gang. LW 1 is me. I haven't told him because I don't want him to feel pressured to say it back to me (as someone else said, it feels like a gun to the head). I am pretty sure there are no underlying issues and he told me he was worried ablut rushing into things (he's a Planner, I fly by the seat of my pants). I will probably just suck it up and do it.
And we're totally leaving for Vegas tomorrow. This work day can't end fast enough.

On You Have One New Death
It's surreal when you're one of the first people to find out. One of my best friends died and I knew before the masses. His facebook was untouched by sad wall posts. Everything seemed normal. I could sit there for a little while and convince myself it wasn't real.

On Actually Ask a Nurse
So I take HBC for acne. I also love how I know exactly what time I'm going to start my period. And not getting cramps and all that. But now I want to get an IUD because I suck at taking the pill at the same time every day and I definitely don't want to get pregnant. Is there any way to be on both? The pill is the only thing that has helped my skin.
