TITLE: This girl is confusing me
POST: We've been seeing each other for roughly four weeks. I'm 19 and she is 21. Both female. We've agreed to take it slow and not yet have sex. I'm fairly inexperienced with relationships and sex. She has told me that she's had a lot of casual sex. I should mention rather recently before we met. Even though I'm not ready to have sex yet, I'm concerned that she isn't ready to have sex with me.
If she's been so quick with other people, why not me? I keep te | negative |

My laptop, and HP, is in its final days after a year and a half of service to me. Unfortunately, this happens to be right b | negative |

So I went to my local animal shelter with my SO to see about adopting a dog. I love animals, and haven't had a pet in quite some time. So we get there, and very quickly see a sweet pup we want to get a little interaction with. I ask a volunteer if we can see the dog, and she gets another volunteer to help us, as she is working on paperwork with an adopter.
