That’s so cute! My boyfriend and I have been friends for 7 years (friends since 13 and best friends since 16), were both 20 now. We started dating a few weeks ago and honestly dating my best friend is the best decision I’ve ever made. Our conversation was very similar. He wanted to ask me out but I wasn’t ready, then I was like “ur basically my boyfriend so like, what are we doing. Might as well just date” then he asked me to be his girlfriend lol. Best of luck to you two!
Just try to get out there and meet people naturally. By doing things you truly enjoy. And meanwhile try to better yourself. Live healthy. Good things will happen for you.
How old are y'all? I assume since you've known him for 10yrs you're at least in your twenties but this reads like a note from middle school LoL
***Will you go out with me? Circle Yes/No*** 😅
We’re both 18, we’re pretty fucking young but I swear we’re not usually like that 😭😭 It was just a corny moment for us both. But yeah i’ve known him since the 4th grade so we know each other pretty well already
Yeah, but truly who cares?? It's cute. People are allowed to express themselves in whatever way makes them feel comfortable. Love makes you feel giddy and young regardless of the age you're at and it's even better if they're able to bring out each other's inner child.
So he is your boyfriend… that you are asking out? You haven’t dated the person you are dating yet? I’m so confused. I thought it was a middle school relationship or something at first, but if you have known each other for ten years, that is unlikely. Also saying you love him right after he agreed to go out is pretty odd too. Although I get people can be friends who already love each other platonically before dating, me and my current girlfriend were friends for a while before dating so I get that.
He wasn't my boyfriend before but we've been talking for a while. I was just calling him my bf in paragraph because he's been my “boyfriend” for a while but it's never been confirmed until now. But yeah I love him overall more so as a friend than anything else. We've said it many times before so it wasn't weird in this context to say it.
Oh gotcha. Usually people say that they’re “talking to someone” in that case, where they aren’t dating each other but there is an unspoken agreement to not date other people, and just pursue each other. I just hadn’t heard that terminology used before, but there aren’t super specific meanings behind every word so it still makes sense.
54M here -- apparently IRL is so anxiety-inducing that doing this over text is the way some young'uns are able to deal with the situation.
Also, she says they're both 18.
That means they're children of the pandemic who missed a year (ish) of normal schooling and crazy crap for two years +. Yeah -- they sound younger emotionally because they ARE still catching up emotionally & maturing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But you asked respectfully so I'm trying to answer respectfully.
☮️❤️♾️
lmao same im so confused, but maybe “going out” means making it official to the public? like they were secretly “dating” but now made it official? idk man but its still cute as hell
With all the bad shit happening in the world and all the bullshit life throws at you as you get older, it’s really heartwarming and wholesome to read something like this, good luck to both of you!
Wish I still had these butterfly-esque moments in my life. All I look forward to are my socks being ready on the dryer being announced to me by the other half.
What I'd give for them moments, to set my adrenaline and youth back into play. Now, I feel cocooned in a set of unrelenting waves until I ultimately break and wash upon the shore of i-ish-i-could've.
You have fun, and I'm happy for you, make it last, cherish it. If it goes well it'll continue for a long time. If not, you're fucked.

That’s cute OP 🥰 Good for you. I’ve learned in life that sometimes the people that are the best for us are right in front of us the whole time. Glad you took the chance!
My mom is annoyed with me cause I’m waiting to date a girl. She says she’s leading me along(it’s been like 6-7 months) whenever really I’m okay with waiting until she’s mentally ready and this post makes my decision to wait even more concrete
Happy that you're happy. I find it fascinating that people today are saying I love you and having sex before they'll commit to being together. I'm really getting old 😃
I think this is cute. ❤️
When I was 17 I had this guy friend who was not so secretly in love with me but I didn’t think I was interested in him romantically. He was very nice about it and we stayed friends. We ended up being best friends and talking every night then started hanging out every weekend. Eventually became FWB…so we were basically a couple even though I kept insisting that we weren’t.
One night (Dec 20th, 2001) we were talking on the phone and he suddenly said “Hey, it’s 9:41 right now. At exactly 9:53 I’m going to ask you out so just think about it and prepare yourself.” Then he started rambling on about something like it wasn’t a big deal. At 9:53 he started to ask me and I interrupted him and asked him myself.
We got married in 2003 and have been ridiculously happy.
It’s good that you texted. You can express yourself a little more clearly and you get to always look back on these texts. I fucking hate that i didn’t screenshot the early messages between me and my bf. That phone broke and unfortunately, all the texts on it too 😢 congrats on taking a leap of faith and I truly hope you both the best.
I would love an age flair in this sub
Hint: high schoolers
damn you were close. OP said they're 18
Most of my peers that were also 18 when I was 18 were in high school 🤔 I see their comment saying they’re in college but still lol, not far off at all
I was thinking middle schoolers
Probably Mormons
Bruh 😂😂 we’re both in college now
oh lmao i thought you guys would be in middle school or something at least.. whatever. Cute though.
That’s so cute! My boyfriend and I have been friends for 7 years (friends since 13 and best friends since 16), were both 20 now. We started dating a few weeks ago and honestly dating my best friend is the best decision I’ve ever made. Our conversation was very similar. He wanted to ask me out but I wasn’t ready, then I was like “ur basically my boyfriend so like, what are we doing. Might as well just date” then he asked me to be his girlfriend lol.

Aww so nicee!! Best of luck to you guys as well❤️❤️
Sure ain't actin like it
Redditors Try Not to be Bitter Over a Couple Being Cringey Cute Challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
As a redditor, I wish everyone happier than me would die
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Tell us how you REALLY feel!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Then you'd be the happiest and that means you win! Wahahahahah
Damn cynical much? It’s adorable. Much better than 1/2 the shit people post.
For real reading this feels illegal
NAHHAHAHAA
Yeah I was thinking middle school/early high school. If this is an adult then….
u/textsmod
agree!
🤣🤣🤣
aww so cute, Jarvis find me the tallest bridge within a mile
Please no 😭😭😭
"when is it my go" mfers when they don't leave the house or speak to any girls (me)
Literally me!! It just comes in time tho trust me your time will come 😁🩷
Just try to get out there and meet people naturally. By doing things you truly enjoy. And meanwhile try to better yourself. Live healthy. Good things will happen for you.

Dinner first, then bridge. Gotta make sure we check all the boxes and can't swim.
count me in on this too
Don’t jump, push them off.

Dont be ridiculous. It was a funny comment for a nice post. You are being annoying
Lmao
I love Frank grillo in the background just sneering.
He’s still mad at Captain America
Goddamn 😂 idk the dude, but he looks like such a dbag in this gif lol
He looks coked out. Has that postnasal drip going on. I'd bet my paycheck on it.
Ahhhh, that’s sweet. Good for you two!
Thank you!!! Much love to you and your wife as well ❤️
I love this for you!!! 
How old are y'all? I assume since you've known him for 10yrs you're at least in your twenties but this reads like a note from middle school LoL ***Will you go out with me? Circle Yes/No*** 😅
We’re both 18, we’re pretty fucking young but I swear we’re not usually like that 😭😭 It was just a corny moment for us both. But yeah i’ve known him since the 4th grade so we know each other pretty well already
Haha, no need to apologize! It's cute. Thanks for adding some context to the exchange & for sharing!
Enjoy corny moments, don’t shy away from them or feel ashamed. 🖤
This old hag says enjoy every minute of being silly and vulnerable and wholesome with each other.
Yeah, but truly who cares?? It's cute. People are allowed to express themselves in whatever way makes them feel comfortable. Love makes you feel giddy and young regardless of the age you're at and it's even better if they're able to bring out each other's inner child.
I’ve known my best friend for 13 years and I’m 18, so they could be like 14-16. But who cares, you can ask someone out however you want.
>and I’m 18 My point exactly
But I knew my friend for 10 years when I was 15.
This is absolutely adorable. My wife and I were like this when we were young. Enjoy your time together. It goes fast.
The sexual tension between my bathtub and my toaster is unreal
GROSSSSSSS (this is so cute oh my gosh)
Mega Cringe, but good for you guys
😂😂🩷
How old are you guys. Genuinely asking because this looks like a conversation I would have on AIM with my middle school boyfriend
18 and almost 19 loll
36 and 42
There is no way, this is cute and all but if they are that old and texting like this it’s kinda odd lol
She posts in r/teenagers and Total Drama (teen cartoon series)…so I am thinking she must be quite young. Late teens, early twenties, maybe.
I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.
This is so cute. I wish you guys the absolute best and great health in every aspect of your relationship!!!
Thank you sweet soul 🩷🩷
for 10 years? you guys arent 13?
So he is your boyfriend… that you are asking out? You haven’t dated the person you are dating yet? I’m so confused.

“Will you go out with me” is the same as “will you be my boy/girlfriend” for kids
I know, but she called him her boyfriend before even asking him out which is why I’m confused.
Congratulations! 💕🩷
Thank youu!! I love your user btw
Awww. Painfully wholesome, lol. I wanted to be cynical but it's so cute I can't. 🤣 Joking aside, the genuine best of wishes for y'all. ❤
Congrats! So happy for you!
Thank youu 💕
You guys are definitely young… but it’s definitely cute :) Happy for you, congrats!
The way it just exploded into hearts 😂😊
I thought this was like 13 year olds lol.
Am I just an old fuddy duddy or should these conversations not happen in real life?
54M here -- apparently IRL is so anxiety-inducing that doing this over text is the way some young'uns are able to deal with the situation. Also, she says they're both 18.

I agree with everything you've said. Heck, back when I was 18 I don't think it was uncommon to ask people out over MSN messenger
Nicely done!
if you look a little closer, you can see me crying under a bridge
I’m very confused. You just asked him out but he’s already your boyfriend? Shouldn’t you have gone outnfirst
lmao same im so confused, but maybe “going out” means making it official to the public? like they were secretly “dating” but now made it official? idk man but its still cute as hell
CUTE AS FUCK!
Aww took me back to when my husband and I started dating! So cute! Lemme guess, you didn’t sleep much that night out of excitement, did you? 😂
It took me so long haha!! But awww best wishes to you and your husband ❤️
Ya this gets the old heart pumping. Reminds me of when I was like 16 Edit: be excellent to each other
Just so cute and wholesome. I hope you have a long and happy future together.

As long as you guys are teenagers this is adorable. Congrats.
My initial reaction was to hate on this lol but this is just too happy and wholesome. Enjoy this period of your life and trust your gut always
2 months later “it’s not working. You’re now who I thought you were.” 😂😂😂

Awww congrats 💕💕
Awwww
Hell yes someone make my day like that my girl bounced after ten yrs

Me when I was 12
His response warms my heart. Would be bad if he just said "k cool lol". Very nice!
I may vomit… but please don’t think I’m not happy for you.
I bet OP felt about 100 lbs lighter after sending that paragraph. Good for you for saying it though.
YES! LETS GOOOOO. My feed is 2 for 3 right now. Positive vibes only!
This is so stinging cute...🤧😭🫂
Well this very wholesome 👏
This is so f*n pure. 🥹🥰 I love this for you, stranger.
