I have a dilemma. I’m kinda lowkey freaking out. I did the worst thing ever, I dated someone in my friend group and- it’s not going too well.

In the beginning things were good, he was sweet. And we connect, and we vibe, he cares about my feelings and wants me to talk to him when I’m sad. And he’s always calling me beautiful when I feel ugly. He gets jealous, which I feel shows he cares. The main thing he does when he gets drunk is blow up my phone telling me how much he loves me. And when he’s mad at me, he doesn’t yell or say hurtful things, but rather talks to me like an adult. B ut there’s a side of him... that I just can’t stand. He’s checked marked all the girls say they’re missing in a relationship. But like...

He’s always SO horny. He asks for pics every day and every night and sometimes I feel like he’s confusing his lust for love. Or rather, lust is all our relationship is turning into. We’re in a long distance relationship and met online. Last week I took a break from online, and came back yesterday. The DAY after I came back he was horny, asking for nudes.

I also feel like we connect emotionally, but...like, I don’t really know anything about him. We don’t have any actual conversations. There’s no discussion of politics, “have you ever wondered”, “what would you do” those kinds of things. I want to know him, I want to be able to read him like he’s a novel. But right now all he’s giving me is a measly picture book.

In conclusion I’m confused and I don’t know what to do. I feel like maybe this can be fixed. In the past, whenever I had a gut feeling about something 90% of the time I was right. I feel in my heart that he truly is a good person. I feel that if I just talk to him and tell him that I’m uncomfortable with sex and make an big effort to get to know him, maybe he’ll try to get to know me. But I also don’t know if it’s worth it. Maybe he’s a good and kind person, just not the person for me. He’s been in the group longer than I have I know that if I were to leave the girls would still talk to me. But it wouldn’t be the same. I don’t know if I’m prepared to make that sacrifice. But I also don’t want to be unhappy.

So question here is, should I try to work things out and take charge in making this relationship work out, or should I just risk my friendships and end the relationship.
