Should I ask a friend out over text?
No, don't make that mistake. Drop a few hints in conversation before asking her out in person. If you're too shy, then CARPE DIEM! Go for it without thinking, overthinking ruins everything.

Is it ok to come out to friends via text message?
I am in the process of coming out to my friends and family. I really want to come out face to face with my friends, but college is starting soon and it is very difficult for me to meet up with all of my friends to tell them this. While you should never use methods like texting, Facebook, instant messaging, etc. for important announcements, would it be acceptable in this situation? I don't want to make my friends feel that they aren't important, but it's nearly impossible for me to meet with all of them and tell each of them. Thanks for your help!
What should I do when my bf is out with his friends and doesn't text back?
Well, you could start respecting his time with others, and NOT texting him when you know he is out with friends. If you do that on a regular basis, all it does is show that you are unwilling to let him have a life independent of you. You HAVE to be part of his time with his friends.You are insecure, and are afraid that if you are not “on his mind” he will forget you or find someone else. That is what makes you feel weak and afraid.The fact that he doesn’t text back is simply him being respectful of his friends. He is out with them - his attention should be on them, not on his phone. You know that when he is out with his friends he won’t respond to your texts, so all you are doing is making stress for yourself.When he is going to be hanging out with his friends - go do something yourself. Go to a movie with some friends, take yourself out to dinner, heck just go walk around a mall or visit a library. Just DO something so you aren’t focused on whether or not he has responded to your texts.
Getting fed up with my friend CONSTANTLY texting her bf while we hang out?
You are not overreacting. It's rude. You will have to ask her to stop doing that when she is with you. If she won't stop, then spend time with other friends who treat you better. People need to make some agreements in their relationships regarding cellphone use.
My boyfriend has a lot of female friends. They text him as often as I do, and it makes me jealous. They even send him selfies and want him to send selfies back. It feels like they're waiting for us to break up. How do I let go of this frustration?
In a way, this is completely normal and a scenario that happens all the time. As a guy, I can attest to the fact that, regarding attention from women, "when it rains, it pours." Basically, whenever I've been in a relationship, a ton of other women come out of the woodwork all of a sudden, and are flirtatious with me. This causes a point of friction with my girlfriend, who hates the "competition". I'll tell you a version of what I tell my girl.They aren't popping up because I woke up today and suddenly found myself richer and hotter; they only want me now because they see that someone else has me. People want what they can't have, this seemingly goes double for attraction. Any smart man understands this, and doesn't let it phase him. Moreover, being in a relationship must mean that I'm dateable and date-worthy - that is, someone finds me attractive, thus I must be! So, my social "stock" (for lack of a better term) goes up, raising my perceived "value," which raises demand even further (which raises my value even more, and on and on).What does all this nonsense mean for you? That as a smart "investor," you picked a winning stock early on, and are reaping the rewards. Does Warren Buffet get jealous when he makes a stock pick, and everyone and their dog tries to buy in as well? No, he kicks back, satisfied with his investing acumen, and (in my mind's eye) says "suck it bandwagoners!" As should you: you made a good pick, and now everyone else is trying to say "ooh I want in too!" But he's yours, and you should be a little smug instead of jealous. Confidence in your boyfriend and his fidelity is key. If you act neurotic and jealous, he'll either a) eventually get frustrated and wonder why you're so insecure (ie are you worried he'll find someone better? maybe he should?); or b) understand your insecurity, and leverage it to get his way. Either option isn't good, to put it mildly. So outflank his friends, be confident because it's sexy and self-assuredness is self-perpetuating. (It's a fine balance between arrogance and confidence, so be mindful!) His friends will smell you being the confident alpha, and know that your bond is unshakeable by those who occupy the cheap seats in the stadium. And remember: just as much as you picked him, HE picked YOU as well - not any of those other girls! So shoulders back, chest out, and eyes up…you're the alpha in the room, and never forget it.
Do you text your friends (explicitly the new ones) after you hang out to say thanks and that you had a great time?
Yes of course, it's nice to let your friends know that you had a good time and probably go over a few of the chats and happenings and making plans for the next meet up.
What to say when a texting conversation starts to die...?
Whenever I am texting my friends, the conversation starts to die and we will just text each other things like "yep" and "lol" and things of that nature. What do I say to break the awkwardness and start a new conversation. Nothing ever comes to mind except food. And then one of my friends text me "Are we gonna talk about food all day?" SOOO to save me from these socially awkward moments, what do I say to break the ice? :/
Should I come out as gay through a text?
Yes by all means.It is not cowardly and no you don't always have to do it face to face. It is about you and you alone and if it makes you feel that you can control the narrative and possibly reach at a conclusion of your choosing then by all means text away.I would like to give you some context. I came out to my best friends via texts. I did it because I was anxious, scared and even after repeatedly trying to tell them via a face to face conversation, I had failed. I didn't decide. I just knew that I had to tell them and when I came across a situation when I was calm enough to say it I texted them.Thankfully they were very supportive and accepting of me. I rang them after that, we have had numerous conversions about my coming out and things improved. It worked for me. It helped me calm my nerves and just get on with it.Remember, telling them you're gay via texts doesn't in anyway decrease the validity of your moment. You told them one of the greatest truths of your life. It's not as if they will forget such a thing if you just texted them. You're going to talk about it with them.So go ahead. Choose the narrative that will best suit you. All the best.P.S. It does get better.
