Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Whatever you decide to do, remember this: You have spent a lot more time thinking about this than they have.
Keep it simple, don’t overwhelm them, don’t talk about the far future, and don’t have this conversation in a place where they can feel trapped or coerced.
If I were to do it. I'd tell them I love them and think about them
Do not, under any circumstances, use the L word. You do not love them, you may be infatuated, but do not confuse those two. That is a surefire way to drive them away.
No.
Oh. Oh, no.
Remember when I said that you have been thinking about this a lot more than they probably have? This is exactly what I mean.
If you actually love this person and you think they may not feel the same way, then what do you think will happen when you drop this bomb on them?
A lot of times the need to tell someone you love them is a selfish act while unconditionally loving someone is a selfless act.
Meditate on why you need to tell them.
Hopefully they tell me they don't feel the same or that they feel something.
Hopefully they would appreciate that they have my love
They won't appreciate it. This is a VERY bad idea.
😱 Oh no, dear! DO NOT DROP THAT BOMB!
Interesting people don't think I should say it
🤣🤣🤣🤣 i'm dying
I'm lost
Hello, lost. I love you!
