Best Friends for 11 years with no intimacy, but going to marry in 6 months after just one usual evening in a cafe...

11 years ago, I landed in the exact same classes with this one girl. I found her cute, she was smart and “cool” at that time. She was really good friends with my sister, who is also my twin. She brought her to our house many times, I had my interactions with her, and there was a time where every week we three used to hang out.

3 months into being in the same classes, we got closer and closer every day until becoming “officially” BEST FRIENDS. We both were 14 at the time. My sister eventually got a bit less close to her, but we both were still good friends. We never had a dating thing between us, both of us wanted nothing more than friendship from each other (foreshadowing: or so I thought).

High school went by, and our bond got closer. Practically, we were shipped by everyone for like 3 and a half years, continuously. We didn’t mind it though. We both started uni and ended up in the same one by fate. We decided we could be roommates, so we needed our parents’ approval. We both eventually met each other’s parents. All of them suspected us of being a thing, but she made it pretty clear she didn’t want to date me “ever.”

I was fine with that, honestly. University also went by anyway, with us being roommates throughout the 4 years. It only enhanced our friendship, and we were never intimate. Now that uni was over, we had to go our own ways, but we still connected over the phone and little weekend meetings at local spots. We had been doing this for 4 years, without anything other than just talking, until last Sunday when in a café, after having our favorite meal, we were just talking when she leaned over to kiss me. I did, it was great. We just became each other’s first kiss.

It was an awkward moment, we didn’t say anything after that and just paid the bill and walked off. I was confused, like what was that and why. The next evening, after work, she called me and confessed her feelings that she had been keeping in for like 6 years now. I initially didn’t think much of it and decided to let it be until she rang my apartment’s doorbell unannounced. After the best night of my life, with a few hours of discussion and most importantly approval from our parents, we have decided that we are going to marry in April 2026, on her birthday. We are both 25 now.

TL;DR
Met a girl at 14, became best friends, stayed roommates in uni for 4 years, nothing romantic until she kissed me at 25. She confessed she’s loved me for 6 years, and now we’re engaged to marry in April 2026.

So my wife’s going to a gala tonight — as her client’s “date.”

I’m 44 and my wife is 44. She works on an art advisory committee, so attending galas, events, and client meetings is part of her job. She often meets clients for coffee, lunch, or dinner, and I don’t always know the details and that’s completely normal because it’s part of her work. She’s always professional, transparent about her friendships, and I trust her judgment completely. Recently, she mentioned she’s going to a gala with a friend, S. He’s a wealthy client she met about a year ago, and they became friends professionally. She introduced me to him once, and he seems like a genuinely good person. He invited her as his “date” to this gala, and my wife said it’s fine. I did ask her though, if she’s actually going as a “date,” and she just laughed and said, “Date doesn’t always mean romantic.” She said it’s important for her she could get networking and meet new people. Then she smiled and said, “If I get into this gala next time, I won’t need to take that man with me, I’ll take you...

I accidentally started a fake relationship with my dentist’s nephew and now I have to bring him to my cousin’s wedding

I swear this isn’t as insane as it sounds. Or maybe it is. I don’t know anymore. So I had to get my wisdom teeth pulled last month. All four. It was horrible. I cried when they put the numbing stuff in. Not from pain, just vibes. The dentist was this sweet older guy, probably in his 60s, super gentle, gave dad energy. Anyway, after the whole thing I’m in the waiting room with a mouth full of gauze, looking like a bloated chipmunk and trying not to drool on myself. This guy walks in. Maybe 20-ish. Tall, curly hair, kind of goofy looking but in a hot way. He smiles at me and goes, “You look like you fought a squirrel and lost.” I flip him off. With love. Apparently he’s the dentist’s nephew. He was dropping off lunch or something, I wasn’t listening. I was trying to keep my face from leaking. He sits down and starts chatting with me while I wait for my ride. I don’t say much because again, gauze goblin. But I must’ve made an impression because later that night I get a message on Instagr...

I got into a fight with a Netflix actor and didn’t even knew who he was

So this happened last year. I was working as a bartender in this kinda fancy bar in LA where a lot of people come to show off. You get influencers, actors, TikTok people… that kind of crowd. One Friday night, this guy comes in with a girl. He looked like some Hollywood dude. Tall, kinda flashy, wearing expensive shit, beard perfectly trimmed, just screaming “I think I’m important.” The girl he was with was one of those types that look like they live on Instagram. She didn’t say much. He, on the other hand, was being loud and acting like he owned the place. Demanding a table that was already reserved, talking down to waitresses, trying to be funny but really just being a jerk. Then he said something to my coworker (who’s really sweet btw) like: Are your hands good for anything other than pouring drinks? She just looked shocked. I saw red. I told him, Yo man, maybe treat people like people, not like background extras in your life. He gave me that look like, you don’t know who you’re tal...
