Q: So, I know the title makes the answer seem obvious, but it’s something I’m actually struggling with.

My gym, like most, has those oddly-small white towels available for members.  When I first joined my gym (standard ok-and-cheap YMCA) I would always take two towels - one for sweat, and one for wiping down the equipment.  I have always been pretty fastidious about wiping down the machines after use.  The gym also has little spray bottles of cleaning solution scattered around to use when wiping off equipment after use, which I always used.

Then, a few months ago, the gym instituted a one-towel-per-person policy.  So, now I have the choice of:

- wiping sweat off on the towel, but then no towel for equipment wiping
- using the towel for wiping the equipment and not having a sweat towel unless I bring my own separately, or;
- what most people seem to do, which is use the same towel for both sweat and wiping, which...seems disgusting.  I do t want cleaning solution on my face, and I wouldn’t want to wipe down equipment with a sweaty towel.

I asked the front desk at one point how I should wipe down the equipment if we only got one towel, and was told there were paper towels in the fitness area to use when wiping the machines.  However, I looked pretty thoroughly, and have never seen paper towels available nor have I ever seen anyone using one to wipe down equipment.  

The gym does have attendants who come around every ten or twenty minutes and wipe down the machines not in use...but, if someone gets on a machine right after you, it likely hasn’t been wiped unless the person using it has wiped it.  But, they do get cleaned off periodically.  Possibly also relevant - knowing I’m not wiping, I touch the machine (usually a treadmill or stairclimber)as little as possible.  I’ll only use the touchscreen and speed buttons, don’t touch the handles, etc.  I’m also not a big sweater, if that makes a difference.

Faced with this dilemma, I’ve pretty much stopped wiping down machines after using them, other than to swipe away any obvious moisture with the provided towel.  But, I feel like a complete criminal every time.  So, AITA? Should I give in and dual-purpose my single towel as a sweat and cleaning rag, am I obligated to bring a personal towel (something I also never see anyone doing at the gym, but I guess it could solve the issue)...or can I get away with not wiping?

Q: I want to know if I'd be an asshole for this and ruin a professional relationship I have.

I'm falling in love with my professor.  I feel like if I pursue these feelings, I could potentially risk their career.  For nearly 2 years, I had have the strongest feelings for them.  I've never been so hung up on a person like this before.  We actively talk and we know each other very well.  I think they know that I have feelings for them, and I think they at least have some feelings for me, but they can't act upon them because they need to remain professional.  I respect that entirely.  

I just don't know what to do.  I want to with them or at least let them know how I feel, but I don't want to jeopardize our friendship and their career they worked so hard for.  Also, my professor is not married and is not in a relationship with anyone at the moment.  

I tried to move on and see other people in the past, but with other people, that emotional connection is not there, and my feelings for professor continue to persist.  

Would I be an asshole if I pursue?

Q: Funny how i found this subreddit after breaking up with my "girlfriend"

So From the start

I'm a 20 yo m and never had a "real" relationship, kissed girls and hooked up, but not a "real" relationship and thats something I wish I could have honestly but anyway

I've been on Tinder for a while and things go ok but usually just chat with some girls is all, until one day in Early October I meet this girl and we hit it if off pretty well and the next day we ended up meeting for a date to the movies, and it was perfect we ended up making out in an empty theater showing venom. Week later, go out again to a day in the city, and date 3 was her just coming along with me to do some errands. Within the span of about two - three weeks it felt perfect, too perfect. We texted back everyday until little by little we would slowly stop.

So the first week passes were we wouldnt text each other, I was busy with work and school and I knew she was going through the same, so when Saturday came i asked her how she was doing and of course just saying how I missed her and that we should get together soon. Slowly but surely it went from heart filled and monkey emojis into just talking. She had work that day and asked where was her job so that I could actually stop by a perhaps bring her some food and snacks to cheer her up and see her for an hour. But I didn't get a text back and a few days pass. I send a goodmorning text saying im sure youre busy but I hope you have a great day and please just get back to me when you can. I had assumed something had happened that she had to worry about, great thats fine I thought. Then another 5 days pass nothing back.

After a week and half of having some texts ignored I thought it was just weird how she wouldnt even send a text saying hey sorry ive been busy but ill text you soon. or cant talk rn right.

So after two weeks early nov she writes back "in class". I was kind of surprised I got a text back. Finally we're catching up a little but it just didn't feel the same as before. I've been wanting to see her again but feels like she didn't have the time.

Then another week passes and I felt kind of left behind, thinking here I am texting her asking to see her to, but im not even good enough to be left on seen apparently, and I see her having fun with friends on social media too in between.

I think if anyone has responsibilities they should be taken of sure, but all I wanted was a text back, was that too much to ask?

A few hours ago I check snap and see that her icon is gone and I cant see her, I thought she had blocked me and just moved on ghosting me.

Confused and upset honestly I text her saying I wish her good luck and to take care, I never wanted to yell at her or blame her I guess

She replies saying how I had just assumed she blocked me instead of texting her to ask. Yet here I was texting her for the past 3 weeks, how was I supposed to know if or if not im even blocked. After an argument she says "you're free"

​

I've had bad experiences in the past before and honestly I didnt want to fall in love but I really did like her and thought for once in my life I could start a real relationship and be happy, but as I think from my lack of dating experience maybe theres something im missing here. Is it normal for couples to not text for 3 weeks? for one in a relationship to be only one texting the other?

I feel used, like I was just a guy to take her on dates at the start, when she wanted it, but then ignored when she didnt care but I did. Just want to know if Im the asshole, what should I do to change. Was I pushy? I feel like a text back takes   
just seconds but I dont know. feel kind of pathetic but I know ill move on and be fine.

&amp;#x200B;

**TLDR**; start relationship with nice girl, three dates go perfect, cute texts slowly turn into normal conversations and then just words back to back; text her then my texts get ignored, argue, break up
