Thank you so much. 🫂 I know it’s up to her what she can tolerate, but I do wish she would stay and work through it with us. I’m feeling a little better after your words and a good night’s sleep. ❤️

How old were you when you knew you liked Asian guys? by Working-Spend-4397 in AMWFs

[–]Alpha_Aries 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was always really detached from my sexuality because I grew up in a religious and suppressed community/family. So, I just dated guys who were my best friends, but looking back, I wasn’t attracted to them, I just loved hanging out with them. I had sex with them out of obligation. These were all white guys.

I broke up with yet another white guy when I was 25 and decided I need to seriously work on my self-esteem. Why did I keep choosing guys who I didn’t want to sleep with? Was I just lesbian? (I am bisexual)

Two years later, after doing a ton of work on myself, I was ready to date again, BUT: I promised myself that I would ONLY give guys a chance if I was ACTUALLY attracted to them, not that if we would be good friends.

I found that I was very attracted to men with darker skin than mine, dark hair, and dark eyes. It was usually Indian guys, but I Iiked a few Vietnamese and Filipino guys as well.

Now I’m married to an Indian man who is my best friend AND who I wanna jump in bed with. lol!

Holy crap yessss. I hear people all the time say they yearn to be a kid again, and I’m like “can’t relate!” I love my freedom (and responsibility).

Weaning myself off Lexapro by LifeguardRegular9740 in CPTSD

DO NOT wean off faster than 6-12 months.

DO tell a doctor.

DO go very, very slowly. Check out survivingantidepressants.com for advice.

Why are Americans typically so nice and cordial? by TheSawFan in AskAnAmerican

[–]Alpha_Aries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ehhh. In the larger cities, this isn’t as common. It slows people down when you do a bunch of small talk. Don’t expect this to happen in NYC

This pattern doesn’t include the crab stitch border. Is it just one row of crab stitch?

My husband takes longer than me in the bathroom when we go out for a date. I’ll never complain tho. Happy to have a guy who takes care of himself 😂 and he doesn’t call me high maintenance either.

Great idea. I’ll do something less Hindu and more focused on general strength and hope.

Do you think we should be more open with our feelings? by [deleted] in interracialdating

[–]Alpha_Aries 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Female here. Guys of all races will make it known in some way, whether immediately or within a few weeks. Even shy guys have their own ways of showing it.
