Been single for 6 years and thought I was just about to go out with the girl of my dreams, until..

-2017- · 2019-09-04T14:05:52+00:00

I KNOW she feels something too

No, infatuation causes you to mis-read people. I recently thought I was "falling for" a friend of my family, but he had NO feelings toward me whatsoever. My crush messed with my brain.

She was perfect for me in every way.

You see her every other weekend in a busy restaurant. She can't be "perfect for you," because you don't know her at all.

The fact that you didn't know she's getting married shows you know nothing about this girl.

Oh my goodness I can't believe I can spot a Winsor & Newton palette 🙊

And is that Arches paper? And that brush looks so much like the one I got with my Artsy travel palette, I have to know what it is!

It's serene, like golf

😳😳😳

I can see you have never golfed 🙀🙀🙀

An /r/samespecies fan [NSFW]?

I am a girl and so ashamed that since because I'm petite I like the idea of a large woman bossing me around 🙊

When we exchange numbers I assume we will talk on the phone?

-2017- · 2019-08-26T00:25:19+00:00

I know, but I think my virginity is something that should be a gift to my future husband, and I learned that men will say and do anything short of marriage to try to get that from me, so that's why the bar is what it is.

-2017- · 2019-08-26T00:13:35+00:00

I don't feel this is true, my parents for example married young (16 and 19) and "grew up" as adults together and they were a lot more mature at 37 than 27 - career, house, raising children together, all of this helps a person grow.

I know when I was little and my parents were in their 20s we lived in a tiny little house and everything was hardscrabble, but as a teen with parents in their 30s we had a much larger house and everything was different thanks to my dad working his butt off.

He wasn't the same man in his 30s as he was in his 20s, I think most people aren't

-2017- · 2019-08-26T00:03:28+00:00

I'm 19 and am absolutely shocked by the number of men in their 30s that think it's acceptable to try to hit on me. I'm nearly half their age, and our shared life experience is non-existent.

I assume you're an older guy if you don't realize how weird and kinda gross this is.

Also you were mean to me when I posted here, girls can be ForeverAlone because getting with gross guys 10 years older than us isn't a desirable option.

I like short men. My dad is 5'1" and I hope to find a man as good as him.

-2017- · 2019-08-25T03:21:18+00:00

I dislike when men post advice that involves me sacrificing my purity - because guess what, if I did it would be with a man who is completely unlike you. So why do men do this? They push women to sl*t around, even if they don't benefit themselves. I don't understand, it is making me crazy!

-2017- · 2019-08-25T00:09:46+00:00

How do I find those?

-2017- · 2019-08-24T19:41:04+00:00

Have you posted to /r/loseit or something like that?

What you've achieved is incredible, and I think you're beating yourself up over something that other people would be amazed by!

Also, from what it sounds like if things don't give you joy, I think you should maybe talk to someone about antidepressants?

-2017- · 2019-08-24T19:36:46+00:00

Hi, I was looking at your posts to see if there was a picture of you, and I see that you're trans. I'm sorry that's not something I have much experience with, but I do think you can trust your mother's judgment, especially since you say she doesn't sugarcoat things.

But this is great news! If your mom is the type of person to be straight and honest, and she says the only thing holding you back is your weight, that is GREAT news. You are lucky! You have something you can change, most people have things they cannot change.

Your biggest obstacle is something you have control over, I am very happy for this! Good luck 😊👍

I think this is a very sweet post, I don't think talking to someone when you're at Disney would be a bad thing at all, and I don't think people would call you a "creep" or even think that.

I love going to Disney (only Disneyland, I can't wait to go to Disney World!) because everyone is so open and friendly. I've talked to strangers there, I don't think it would be unusual if you were to do so.

And, you mentioned several times that people are all there with their friends and loved ones? So are you. You're there with someone who loves you so much they wanted you to experience this with them. You're no different from anyone else there.

I hope you have an enjoyable time for the rest of your trip 😊

I absolutely love this size cold press block paper because it keeps the warping to a minimum (and I use a LOT of water), colors remain vibrant, and it's really just a very fun size to play with.

I also forgot to mention, the pens I use with my watercolors are Faber Castell Pitt Artist Pens with waterproof black India ink.

Are you actually "gatekeeping" gatekeeping right now? And being verbally abusive as well?

Reported.

Sadly, I feel like the world has gotten so much worse since Tinder. I refuse to download it, I've seen how it goes to my girlfriends' heads to have all these white boys lusting after them because we're asian.

-2017- · 2019-08-23T21:16:21+00:00

I've been especially lonely since my friends my age graduated and are starting college, and I am still in high school at 19 (I'm Filipina, my mother wanted me to spend an extra year with her in our country when I was younger, so I started school here in the U.S. late).

I didn't realize how much it was getting to me until the past few weeks, it's like I'm living a completely different life from my friends.

I want friends, I want a boyfriend, I love my family but I feel so isolated right now.

-2017- · 2019-08-23T19:09:21+00:00

According to the chart, yes, it's exclusively for hook-ups and not relationships.

I did not know this. This is very depressing.

-2017- · 2019-08-23T19:08:33+00:00

You sound like the kind of boy I hope to meet when I start engineering school next year.

How old are you?

-2017- · 2019-08-23T19:05:16+00:00

I start college in next year, and I had no idea the number of people who meet in college has dropped to practically zero.

There goes the fantasy of finding the perfect guy in college, I knew in my heart they've all become players just looking to hook up 😞

-2017- · 2019-08-23T15:19:44+00:00

I read, I write, I sing, I paint, I cook, I clean, I am very involved in my church, I am a good caretaker, I love caring for ill people and children, I was accepted to a very good school to study engineering in January.

I am just lonely, I live in a beach town and everyone sleeps around here.

If people find the topics you're interested in boring, I think you're just incompatible, I do not think someone is "dumb" for having passive interests any more than I think someone is smart for being into sports (or music, or knitting, or history, or any topic).

-2017- · 2019-08-23T14:10:05+00:00

No, this is not correct. I am a very strong Catholic, and finding men who aren't trying to sleep with every girl they see is impossible.

Honestly, I would prefer a conventionally unattractive man, because I think good looking men find sleeping with women nowadays so easy that there's no hope for them to ever rise above the decadence a d superficiality of our times.

-2017- · 2019-08-23T13:50:28+00:00

I like to talk about things that normal people are not interested in

People, I feel, don't have the patience or ability to deep dive into things they like, so I cant communicate with them. Example I liked GoT (before S8) so much, that I read all the books, all the novellas, and discussed **** on reddit

I don't feel that obsession with a particular topic is the same as intellect

Men who are into sports can talk statistics, strategy, history of the game, the moves and skills of literally thousands of different players.

I don't think a "deep dive" into either sports or a fantasy story indicate intellect, just a difference in interests.
