RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Okay, so my online friend "Ana" asked me out. I panicked and told her, "Sorry, no," and I ended up apologizing because I panicked. She said she understood, it wasn't my fault, and that she didn't mean to make me panic, etc. She also told me that she really liked me for my kind, good-natured personality. (Aww!) I ended up sending her the link to one of my posts, and she said she would accept whenever I was ready to ask her out, even if it was not now. I just asked her out and I'm looking at her response...

She says she would love to be my girlfriend.

FartMaster69 can't resist a love story!

Having mastery of your farts while 69ing is very important!

Remember to bring protection, I prefer a massive scimitar

The Blue Spirit.. understandable.

The Emperor is the only protection needed

Congrats! I would be embarrassed to admit just how many long-distance online relationships I had in my teens and 20s if I hadn't up and married the most recent one. It can absolutely work if you're in it for each other. Don't let the stigma get you down.
