Hey so my grandfather and grandmother are both Baptist christians and I recently just asked them to refer to me as Alex instead of Aly which is what I've been going by for a while So my grandmother was fine with it she likes the name Alex anyways But my GRANDFATHER on the other hand didn't seem too happy recently he's been saying that I'm a girl whenever he can like "Oh yeah she's a beautiful girl" or something and he won't use Alex at all he keeps calling me by Aly whenever he can and it's really annoying I know he remembers because my grandmother calls me Alex when we're around him too HELPPP what do I do I don't wanna make a big deal out of it but like Just for context I'm genderfluid and have been for a while though my grandparents (Even tho they KNOW I'm gay because they looked thru me and my gf's text messages) don't act unusual at all and it's not like they bring it up all the time WHAT DO I DOOOO

I need help!! (he's getting a little bit...much)
So I'm dating this really nice guy named Nathan. We've been together almost 7 months and he's getting a little bit...much.

If I already have plans, he asks me out on that specific night then gets upset when I say I have previous commitments. But then the next day he's perfectly content to cuddle and treat me like a queen. When I see him, my heart does that crazy weird butterfly thingie and I feel great.

He makes time to come see me every day at lunch and after school, even though he doesn't go to my school. But at night it feels like his inner demon comes out and he's suddenly no longer himself. He's so controlling and dominant and I'm not sure I like Night-Nathan as much as I do Day-Nathan.

So what do I do? Do I settle for the Day-Nathan, or give him up?

Help, I want to fit in!
I am a seventeen-year-old homeschooler and until this September I have not been in any environments with public-schoolers. I recently got a job at my local pool as a swim instructor/lifeguard and have been spending time with my new coworkers who seem very different from me. Most of them are my peers and I desperately want to fit in with them, but don't know where to start. I don't understand most of what my coworkers talk about, I only use a minimal amount of slang, I've never dated anyone, I don't swear, and altogether I feel weird, awkward, insecure, and irrelevant. If you are a public-schooled teen, please help me know how to become more attractive and relatable to my coworkers while still being myself.

Caught feelings for my AroAce best friend. Where to go from here?
I think I caught feelings for my AroAce best friend, but I pretty sure I'm going to get friend-zoned. How do I fall out of love with them so I can be just their friend again? Tips?

I think I have a crush?
A week ago, I met a boy who came from another country for a trip and I got his number. We've been texting everyday and he's genuinely really nice, good looking, and smart. We're a couple years apart, and both of us are teenagers. I really like him and I think I have a crush on him. He sometimes says things that could imply something, but his mother tongue isn't English so I'm not sure. For the "What does your crush think about you" quiz, I got that he thinks I'm a great friend but wants to be more. What should I do?
