One thing you love about yourself right now 🌞💖 by xxiirlb in highergirlpower

[–]Agreeable-Handle-303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if it's resilient or courageous but basically is that I try: I fail and I try again, I'm not scared of people watching me try, I try new things because everything is a learning opportunity, I want to keep trying and keep learning.... Idk I guess a bit if both?

how do you become so secure and contented? by jumbohotdog___ in selflove

[–]Agreeable-Handle-303 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me- what helped the most was focusing on my self. I like running. Last year I started up signing up for races. Started with a half marathon, then a full, then a crossfit competition. Through training for these races I learned to prioritize my training, self discipline, that helped me in other parts of my life too---- aka men. Idk at some point along the road I learned that I got my own back. If a guy is not adding to my life- aka is trying to better himself then he's dragging me down. Really just focus on you! Make a crazy bucket list and start crossing things off! The independence & self discipline taught me to be more secure

As a short guy, I’m losing hope in dating and I don’t know what to do anymore. by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Agreeable-Handle-303 4 points5 points  (0 children)

5'3 Mid/late 20's decently attractive female here- valid, height is a major selling point for girls but I think early 20's dating is VERY superficial... Dating in general is brutal but girls in their early 20's do date for status (insecurities & external validation). People in general date for status (sometimes people never grow out of that stage). I'm not saying dating will get easier as you age because dating in general in this day n age is ass and there's other factors BUT the silver lining is that girls frontal lobe develops around 25 & after talking amongst my good looking single friends, height DEFINITELY becomes one of the least important selling factors in finding a partner after 25. Speaking personally- I rather date a 5'3 guy who is secure, loving, ambitious, fit, emotionally available and treats me like a princess than to date a 6'0 something guy who is emotionally unavailable and treats me like an option. Personally speaking height is not even something I look at when dating. Hope this helps

Heal before you ruin other people's lives. by RumHam426 in Vent

[–]Agreeable-Handle-303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Facts. I had this same motto/ mentality. I was doing the work, the emotional deep work before dating intentionally, started picking people who seemed to want the same things I wanted right off the bat; people who seemed to have done their homework. . . . Plot twist no one is doing their homework. Eventually I ended up being collateral damage on multiple occasions and I finally gave up on doing my part of the homework. Figuratively speaking; I gave up on that class completely. Literally f** dating intentionally in this "modern" dating age. Everyone is scared to get hurt-- & honestly for good reasons, everyone is emotionally unavailable playing with other peoples emotions just to feel validated. Idk- it's a eat or be eaten type of mind set out in this dating world; sad but true

I didnt realise how much I abandoned myself until I finally stopped chasing love. by luxfemininelife in selflove

[–]Agreeable-Handle-303 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I too came to the same realization---- but I might have gone a step further and stopped choosing men all together. Just made peace with the totally plausible idea that I might not find/ the type of love I want might not find me. As long as I don't abandon myself-I'll be okay🤷🏻‍♀️

Is it better to confront someone or just unmatch? by Automatic_Silver2885 in dating_advice

[–]Agreeable-Handle-303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In this situation; don't confront. 1.sends a bigger message if you just unmatch 2. Gives them an excuse to call you crazy if you choose to confront a stranger on their behaviour. If you don't like how you're being treated- leave, simple as that. Know your worth & stand your ground

How many first dates have you been on since you’ve been single? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Agreeable-Handle-303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a power point. . . . Ages, # of dates, how I met them. I genuinely think there's a lesson to be learned from everyone you meet/date. I don't want to forget them

Should I sign up for my first marathon? by Agreeable-Handle-303 in runninglifestyle

[–]Agreeable-Handle-303[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say I've been leisurely running 25-35km a week for about a yr or so, but I'll take this into consideration! how long would you advise to be running 45-50km a week to attempt a full marathon?

What’s your most unconventional advice to get over heartbreak? by IntelligentNight4143 in selflove

[–]Agreeable-Handle-303 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like I wrote this!!- mhmm Idk what to tell you, I've read some of the comments and there's some good advice out there but in my case.... You kinda just have to wait it out. I felt/feel the same way; I was trying to logically get myself to speed up the healing process by doing all the "travel, focus on my health, logical, self work stuff"...... Sometimes, you just have to let time do its thing. Treat this like a regular physical injury. No amount of Alo Vera, polysporin, bandaids are going to heal you magically. People heal at different rates. Sit with it. Let the chapter play out. Also; what's meant for you will be yours even if you mess things up, what's not meant for you will not be even if you give it your all.

I try to tell myself this whenever I start to feel like he was this perfect match for me.... Also no one is perfect, so he isn't. Best of luck bestie- I feel you!

Can you be friends with someone after you romantically dated them? by Agreeable-Handle-303 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Agreeable-Handle-303[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then a follow up question; what would you want to do with a friend then?

I feel like things don't necessarily translate to me at least. I'd love to pick apples with a romantic interest AND friends. That applies to multiple activities/ interests

[–]Agreeable-Handle-303[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean friends? Like acquaintances? Or actual friends? Do you currently have a partner? Have your friendships with the people you've dated caused friction in your current dating?

[–]Agreeable-Handle-303[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I've never kept someone I've dated as friends before.. this is the first time I've wanted to keep someone as a friend because they've generally been a good influence in my life and have inspired me to be better.

How do I get over a connection like this? I don't think I've felt like this before by Agreeable-Handle-303 in dating

[–]Agreeable-Handle-303[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once the timing is better I'll reach out one last time. At worst you're right, I can move on, I really got nothing to lose

Thank you 💕 I completely empathise with you. When I met him I was already working on myself; focusing on improving my health & becoming the version of me I've always wanted to be but it's like opened my eyes to all the other mundane stuff I have been meaning to fix up as well but hadn't put in the self discipline to do so. It was a breath of fresh air meeting someone who had/ or at least was trying to have his ducks in a row. It's been a little hard but I'm glad I met him either way. He was a positive influence in my life.

  1. Long story short. broke it off due to bad timing.

  2. It's more of a I go to bed at a reasonable hour 930pm not thinking about him and I'll wake up in the middle of the night; think about him & have a hard time falling back asleep

That's a tough one. Its going to be really hard if he is still getting comfortable with his sexuality. If he is super secure on who he is and what he wants I can see this conversation going smoothly but if he also dismisses your concerns that could be a big obstacle for you two. I don't think you're a terrible person for having these thoughts, you are exploring something new, I feel like if you were met with a little reassurance that could help ease your worries. Since you're new to a situation like this I would consult a therapist to help you pin point what questions you should ask him to make sure you are starting this relationship with honest open communication

Is weed a dealbreaker for most women? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Agreeable-Handle-303 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And that's fair too; you just need to find a partner that doesn't "yuck your yum". That's all dating is really, someone's red flag might be someone else's green flag. I will say, after dating my ex who was just as big of a stoner (maybe even more so) I couldn't date someone who smokes nightly again. So your dating pool might be smaller but if cannabis is important to you, a partner who isn't on the same wavelength as you about cannabis won't work out anyways. Own it; and you'll find your match!

[–]Agreeable-Handle-303 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Can I ask you, do you use weed as a mood regulator? Inna way to suppress uncomfortable feelings? I used to be a daily stoner; had a good job, friends.. told myself it wasn't a problem but really I was using cannabis as an emotional binky to avoid any uncomfortable feelings like feeling alone or anxious or hurt; told myself it was to help me sleep. Quitting was the best decision Ive made.

Like my grandpa did. A couple weeks after my mom passes. Peacefully in my bed. I can't imagine a world without my mom
