My girlfriend says she doesn’t know what she’d do if she lost me, but then I get the feeling she’s not in this all the way. What should I do?

“Is six months too soon to be ‘official'”?
I have been dating this guy for six months now. We’ve already had sex … too soon, I know. But every time I ask if we should start being official, he keeps telling me it’s not the right time yet. What should i do?
“I’ve fallen in love with a guy I’ve never met, who lives in another country”
I met a guy four days ago online, and we have been talking ever since. He was looking for a relationship, but I wasn’t, so I told him we could be just friends. He is nice to me, and he is a gentleman as well. He will be relocating to my country in September, and I’m the only person he knows here.
All of a sudden, I found myself liking him, and getting upset when he doesn’t text me. It’s been only four days, and I don’t know what’s happening.
“My dad and his girlfriend have become overbearing parents”
Okay, so I live at home with my dad. He hates me, doesn’t trust me, calls me names on a daily basis, etc. He has a girlfriend who is very strict with her kids as well, and she gives my dad advice on “how to fix me.”
She taught him how to put parental restrictions on my phone (which means I can’t FaceTime, delete apps, download apps, and I have no camera or safari). The current app that I have on my phone is a game that I have replayed numerous times and is about two years old. I have no social media, and my father says I cannot be trusted enough to get it back. My dad’s girlfriend also told my dad that I was giving her the cold shoulder and giving her dirty looks behind my dad’s back (which I DID NOT do), and I have gotten into even more trouble because of that.
“I’m okay just being her friend, but she’s ignoring me now”
Recently (about two months ago), I started talking to this girl (I am a guy). We had more than a few nice conversations, and everything was going smoothly. She has a boyfriend, which I have no issue with. He’s a nice enough person, and I don’t dislike him at all.
I have developed some feelings for her, but I understand that nothing is going to happen (she’s already in a relationship). As such, I am totally okay with just being her friend.
“How do I show interest without looking desperate?”
I’m in high school, and school just ended. There was this boy in one of my classes who I had always thought was cute. Unfortunately I don’t think very highly of myself (I’m not skinny or very pretty), and so I thought he would never like me. Then we had to do an activity where we write a letter asking for advice, then we had to switch with someone and respond to one another’s questions. He and I ended up switching journals, and when I read his, it was about me! It said that he liked me and wanted to take me on a date.
I didn’t want to overreact in case he didn’t really mean it, and I didn’t want to sound desperate, so I just gave him some basic advice back. Then a few days later, there was an origami heart on my desk in homeroom, with no note. I suspect it was from him, but he never mentioned it in class. Then in class, I was talking to another person and saying how someone called me but didn’t leave a message. Sort of under his breath he said “it was me asking you on that date,” and I was so caught off guard that I didn’t really say anything.
“My mother’s partner threatened to kill me”
Hi, I wonder what you would do??
My wife and I had a baby three weeks before Christmas. By Christmas day, we were both at the end of our tethers, which resulted in me having a massive fight with my family while my wife was there. Although it is all sorted now, my mum’s partner — for the second time — threatened to kill me and called our baby very rude names.
“I really like this guy, but I’m afraid to make the first move”
I’ve been pretty much best friends with a guy for about five years. The whole time there has been underlying romantic tension; we are both sort of shy (not with each other but in any uncomfortable situations), and neither of us has really made a move at any point.
Valentine’s day last year (2015), he admitted to having some feelings for me, and me, being really horribly awkward, just sort of replied like, “aw thank you”, because I also had complicated feelings for someone else at that point and wasn’t sure if I wanted to start something. Now I do want to start something, but I am a big baby about talking about feelings.
“Wrong text? Or is she hinting at something?”
Long story short: This girl I like (we’ve hung out 3 or 4 times — she always asks me to hang, but I’m always flirting) just texted me:
“Miss you! (heart Emoji)”
“OMG THAT WAS FOR MY MOM”
“SHE’S IN NJ” etc…
Basically, I left a party she invited me to early, because of something that came up and immediately got this.
“I’m 22 and have never been in a relationship”
So, hello guys. I’m a 22-year-old female, and I have been single ALL my life. I have never been in a relationship, ever. It has come to the point where my mother thinks I’m gay (which I’m not).
WHY?!!!!
It never used to bother me until now that all of my friends are in relationships or married. I’m not ugly, nor do I have an ugly personality or attitude. Why is it that I have never had or been close to being in a relationship?
