All the examples you seem to have given were friends or purely social situations. There you do need more boundaries. If anybody mentions anything about your body in a professional business event they should be firmly & immediately scolded & told such comments are unwelcome & they will be reported to HR if it ever happens again. Make a note somewhere of their names, the location, & who else was present. Then do immediately go to HR if it happens again.

I have found over the years that many people mis-read any attention from an opposite sex person as romantic attraction. Friendly to some people is light flirting. Especially in the work place absent an overt specific request for a date, my advice is don't assume. Be cordial going forward but otherwise just do your job.

It sounds professional not romantic.

You didn't make a mistake. You had a relationship. You are now seeing that this is not your forever relationship. End things. Take some time to heal. Talk to your parents. Let them work with you to find a better relationship that they approve of. Meanwhile focus on your studies.

I think you should assume he was being cordial. You are new to the company & it was coffee during work hours. I would assume that was about work not romantic interest. If he or anybody else invites you to get drinks with the team after work, I think you should go. I get that you feel nervous when you don't know many people but the way you get to know people is to show up at events like this. Networking is a skill. It's one everyone needs to master if they hope to advance in their careers & life. You go & have 1 drink. You talk shop maybe some superficial small talk. Do not get into anything deeply personal. Have no more than 2 alcoholic drinks (fewer is better). Smile. Ask Questions. Listen more than you talk. Don't be the 1st to leave but not the last either.

It's definitely not love. It's more like an unhealthy obsession. You would do well to exercise more self control. Tell your sibling that you don't want to hear about this person. Find more constructive uses of your time.

Your relationship may have run its course. You are done with the partying stage but he's just getting started. Yes it's controlling to talk about "letting" a partner do something but it's also disrespectful to deliberately do things your partner asked you not to do & then lie about it.

At 34 you started up with a 17 year old CHILD. You are a predator. You would do well to date adult women who are your age.

Somebody you are not dating / having sex with is way out of bounds to make comments about what sexual things they want to do to you. You need to speak up & shut that garbage up immediately. If somebody gives you a compliment that is one thing but something crude along the lines of "nice a$$" is vulgar & again you need to shut this down.

If she's out of the country you don't have to do the constant good morning / good night texts. She's the one who is away so let her set the pace. I would. They haven't been dating a month. There are people who have been in my life for 40 years that I don't talk to twice a day.

There is a big difference between repeated deliberate constant contact & a causal text or chance encounter. Every few years I will bump into an EX. We exchange polite pleasantries & move along. I could not be in a relationship with somebody who lost their mind over something so insignificant as a polite exchange that lasted a few moments.

With respect to this guy, nothing. You took your shot but it didn't work. Now you have to leave him alone until the awkward dies down. Going forward when you find yourself liking somebody spend time with him. Flirt your tail off. Laugh at the jokes. Toss your hair. Touch his arm. Sit too close etc. One of my favorite techniques to gage interest would be to inform the crush where you & your friends will be on a weekend night. Invite the crush & their friends to show up. If they come there is interest there. However, you have to see how they behave. If they immediately start hitting on your friends or someone else, then you know they do not see you in a romantic light.

Some people like your current SO have a hard fast rule about no EXs at all for any reason. They are black & white people who don't get subtle shades of grey Be transparent, as you have been. Show the current SO the message. Don't go out of your way to stay in contact with the EX but do be polite if the EX reaches out. Odds are now that you mentioned the new relationship, the EX will back off. Remind your SO that you live a continent away from the EX & that one of the things your SO likes about you is that you are kind / polite. If the SO can't get past a polite message, perhaps the SO is too badly damaged / immature to bother about.

He started it so he needs to keep it up. The good morning / good night texts are a throw away IMO but once that pattern begins, stopping it indicates fading interest & causes more problems. It never should have been started in the 1st place but now that it has, backing off from that causes more problems. Especially because she equates these texts with effort to stop now will cause her to conclude that you no longer care. She will see it as a sign of disinterest which will cause more problems & may break you up. In the future do not start this. There is no way out. There is also no need to speak to somebody daily when they are new in your life. Establishing this pattern of too much too soon backs you into a corner. If you are going to stop doing this you better explain it to her. She's not gonna understand because she already told you she likes it. She's looking for reassurance & taking this away from her will cause her to conclude you are unreliable & just like her EX who hurt her. It's not logical. It might not be fair but you are the one who offered up this daily morsel.

Never confess a crush like that. It comes out of left field & the other person just feels bad. It's awkward. Rather, spend more time IN PERSON with your crush. Up your flirting game & see what happens. It's not a rejection but it's also not an enthusiastic response where your crush declares they feel the same way. You took your shot. It was poorly received. Back off.
