I’m honestly getting sick and tired of listening to my best friend who is constantly bragging about how a foreign surfer dude was hitting on her at the beach. During her visit to Australia, she was at that famous ساحل سمندر, بیچ and apparently this “tall and muscular hunk” approached her and asked if she was single. They exchanged numbers but a few days after that, she flew back here. Since her arrival, she never heard from him again. I wish I could ذائقہ, مارنا her in the face with the truth that there was never going to be anything between them ‘cause one, they’re in a long distance situation and two, she doesn’t even know his name!
Sorry for the rant, I just really needed to get this off my chest. But if آپ guys have any suggestions and advice for me regarding this, that would be awesome. Thanks a bunch.

My good friend was convinced to شامل میں this weird event thing called an a romance tour (i think it’s called?). He’s too shy to go alone so he’s asking me to accompany him. He کہا that he’ll take care of my expenses since he’s kind of excited about attending one. But in my opinion, this doesn't really seem like something I would consider spending money on. There are a couple of things that make me want to go, since it’s travelling to an international country, and hey, I might actually meet someone there. Is it a big waste of time and money یا should i just go for the hell of it? I got nothing better to do anyway.
I'm female. I have had girl crushes before, but I usually have boy crushes. I have had daydreams about being with girls I like, and I sometimes fantasize my first kiss being with a girl. Most quizzes I take say I'm bisexual. Me and my friend, who is a girl, almost kissed back in first grade but I decided that I couldn't do it. My دوستوں and family are very homophobic and I am also a Christian. I will never tell my family about these feelings because they would disown me if I did. Same with my friends. I also feel like I'm not a good Christian یا that I will go to Hell because I think I might be bisexual. I also think that I might be forming a crush on a girl now. What do I do guys?!
Travelling to different countries in Asia this سال with my girlfriend and I’m considering if I should just book with a travel agency rather than making arrangements on my own. We’re both thinking about going to Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, and Cambodia. I’ve seen Multiple city singles tours packages which are rather affordable. It already includes flight tickets, a 4-star accommodation for the whole trip, city tour in each country, and all-day meals. Should I just get this kind of package?
