Love is Dead and so is my Patience

Hit Me Up if you’re a Twink, :) • March 31, 2025

Dating in high school is already a chaotic mess, but some relationships take “why am I here” to the next level. From video game obsessions to suspicious smiles, Reddit provides us with two completely real (and ridiculous) relationship dilemmas.

My BF Says He’s Too Busy to Hang Out but Is Ranked #1 in Brawl Stars. Should I Stage an Intervention?

Like what?? Was there a secret meaning behind my polite expression of gratitude that I wasn’t aware of? Did my slight nod of appreciation translate to “please be my wife” in some unknown language?

I tried to explain to her it wasn’t flirting — I was being normal. But now I’m stuck in this weird relationship trial where my options are:
