Talking to my crush. I’m not in any greek life and I’m not 21 so I never get to see him. He plays tennis but I’m bad at tennis so I don’t wanna go and embarrass myself. Any tips?
Take advantage of the times that you do see him. He’s wearing something cool or looks nice? Let him know, everyone appreciates a simple “you look nice.” Don’t put so much pressure on conversations either, everyone stutters or says something weird here and there. Even if you don’t play tennis, you can still engage in a conversation with him. Ask if coming here to play was always his plan, and don’t be shy to joke about your lack of tennis skills, maybe he’ll offer some classes.
Breaking up with someone for the first time
Any nerves or hesitations are completely understandable, but it’s best to be honest for both of your sakes. Start a conversation with them in person, it’s more respectful, unless you’re long distance, then do a phone call. Explain how you’re feeling, or have been feeling, and why you don’t see the relationship progressing anymore. Be direct; vagueness will cause confusion and could haunt you later on. Be prepared for their reaction, and let them speak their mind as well. Also, do not send them a “we need to talk” text. Don’t forget to take care of yourself during and afterward too.
