Problem I need desperate help with: I blank out and have no clue what to say
Do you have her phone number? Maybe try asking for a meetup that wouldn’t require your friends being around and would also give you time to prepare for talking to her. If you don’t have her number, ask for it and just acknowledge that your “blanking out” or behavior has to do with your friends making you feel pressured, but you’d like to chat with her when you’re not with them.
This quiz told me to break up. What do you think?
It sounds like your intuition led you to take the quiz to begin with. Instead of focusing on what the quiz says, maybe take some time and space to honor your own internal hunches…. Maybe it leads you to having a conversations about your needs or fears.
Signs you're dating a narcissist?
It’s very challenging to feel icky after arguments and if arguments aren’t being repaired in a way that honors both of your experiences, that’s definitely a red flag in it of itself. Regarding narcissistic behaviors to watch out for, I’d say be mindful of if your partner never takes accountability or if they do, it isn’t met with “I did X because you did Y.” Is he objective and compassionate to your feelings or does he always get defensive if you tell him you’re feeling upset by something he did? Narcissistic behaviors tend to focus solely on their own experience and are very limited in how they see your’s or how they have affected you. You shouldn’t feel guilty or question your own sanity or feelings after you have expressed yourself vulnerably.
How can I rizz up my crush?
Expanding on this, I think increasing the level of flirtation very strategically can help rizz up your crush. So, maybe it starts with just eye contact, and then you have some sort of communication and interaction. Then, try complimenting them in person or over text. Rather than complimenting them on their physical appearance, say something nice about their personality or accomplishments.

Keep trying to take initiative in your conversations and increase your level of interest until you feel confident asking them out directly.
Signs that my girlfriend isn't sexually attracted to me?
Assuming you both had a sexual attraction initially, common signs that your girlfriend may be losing sexual attraction are:

1. She avoids sexual contact altogether

2. She has many excuses as to why she’s not in the mood without offering an alternative connection or rescheduling a sexual connection

3. She’s not feeling emotional closeness with you and has verbalized this several times. Conflict may be consistent without resolution which impacts her sexual desire

4. She’s no longer affectionate

5. She’s lost respect for you

6. She avoids being naked around you
