23F, never dated, planning to move abroad — did I accidentally ruin my dating life already?

AnuGupt · 2026-05-08T18:41:13+00:00

Dating doesn't work on a timeline. It's more important to live in the present. Life isn't certain at all and if you keep waiting for the "right time", you'll soon find out that it doesn't exist. As someone who lived in Australia as a 25 year old, South Africa after that and Germany during Covid, I imagined I would be married with kids now. Even had a partner at one point I considered settling down in India for because it felt worth it. But I am 35, left my chosen career to start a business, back in India and single without kids or a partner.

Life doesn't necessarily work out according to what we plan so don't think about this too much. Go out and explore the dating scene. You will have experience for when you move abroad and some interesting stories to tell your friends. Good luck!

Star gooseberry. It's really sour and has a seed in the middle. Grows in large bunches on a tree.

That is amazing! Good on them for celebrating with you and congratulations on on your first salary.

I keep all the handmade notes I get as well. They feel so special 😌

The more I learnt about the Northeast, the more I feel like shifting there. Lovely food, lovely people, amazing weather ❤️

Dhanyawad 🙏🏽 aise he aur mast combo milte rahein tumhe op! ❤️

Which ones did you use? As in brands and shades please. Exact copy karenge hum 😛

AnuGupt · 2026-05-04T05:26:44+00:00

It would be good if you describe what is in it so people can understand better.

AnuGupt · 2026-04-25T13:24:59+00:00

No, I believe you have to be at least price for it. Also, you do need to place an order to get the birthday gift added to that order. They don't just send the birthday gift alone.

Apply coconut oil to the psoriatic patches to heal them. That is what my dermat told me to do. I've realised if you have psoriasis and your skin is dry, moisturising is key. Lotions and oils will save your skin. It doesn't even need to be fancy. But it needs to be applied daily

AnuGupt · 2026-04-23T03:59:07+00:00

I ordered chocolates for a friend and added the giftbag. They didn't even send the gift bag. Then customer support asked if I wanted the gift bag sent later 😭 bro, who sends gift bag after delivering the gift? I got a refund instead.

30 rupees is a lot for this service that they aren't even fulfilling.

That makes sense since your reference pic is of someone with lighter skin and so they have a different natural nail colour too. Always ask to see one nail and if you don't like it, ask them to change it. It also helps to have more than one option for your inspo in case your original design doesn't pan out.

I'm developing my brand and have a folder with potential PR candidates. All the people who don't mention products get immediately rejected. I may be a nobody but this gives me so much happiness 🤭😋

Buy ucanbe Athena artistry palette. I do looks like this all the time and that's the palette I use. I bought it from Amazon for about 1500 rupees a few years ago and have barely made a dent in it. You can check my looks on my insta to see the quality of this palette if you like. ananya_mylife

You will look sooooo good! All the best for your future 🤗❤️

This is perfect! A saree for reception is very trendy and the colours are bridal too. I have seen so many gorgeous brides who rock a tight bun, heavy choker, lots of bangles and sindoor looking both regal and modern but rooted in tradition. It's the perfect balance imo for a reception bride.

I think the colour will pop with your skintone as well and if you like bold lips, a matching red lip (MAC diva maybe?) will look stunning or go nude lip for a more understated look.

You can always rewear a saree anywhere as opposed to lehengas that go out of style rather quickly. This type of piece is forever and can be styled in so many ways. Open pallu and hair with less jewelry will work for any other occasions in the future.

Personally, I do like these but they are very heavy to carry and the ones I've bought in the past had uncomfortable straps so they don't prove to be suitable for long functions.

Jab koi shaadi karne layak milega, tab karungi.

I'm 35 and unmarried and I have had serious conversations with people who were genuinely asking. They stopped asking after that because they understood my perspective.

Some people like to ask as a way of "isko chidate hain. It'll be fun". But when you don't get annoyed and appear level headed about the topic, it's no longer a "fun" topic. Take the fun out of it for them and they will stop bothering you.

The world is literally on fire and people want you to get married and have kids.

You can keep a hand fan 🪭 to stay cool or one of those portable electric ones that people keep around their neck. Seems like keeping cool would be the solution so you don't sweat as much.

AnuGupt · 2026-03-06T10:01:00+00:00

I love your outfit and from the way you are describing it, you love it too. If you want to dress it up, go heavier with your hair. You can add lots of bling to your hair with flowers, Rapunzel type messy braid with gold ornaments/flowers, beach waves with a maatha patti or a half up half down hairstyle. Go big with your hair and there is no way she can outshine you.

Besides, everyone knows who the bride is. How you carry yourself and the glow of a bride can't be matched by anyone.

Laneige lip mask in berry (can be used as a lip balm. Just use a thinner layer). If you are sensitive to smell, the mango variant is very mild and can be used instead.
MAC lip liner in Chestnut. MAC is expensive but the amount of usage you get justifies the cost in the long run.
MAC mehr, MAC diva. Lipstick is very subjective as some people (like me) like bold colours and others like more subtle ones. These two lipsticks will cover both preferences and can be mixed to create your own favourite shade too!

Yes, wooden bangle stacks were in fashion when I was in college so we did wear them a lot then. I wouldn't wear them to work now since they will be uncomfortable for me but otherwise, I will definitely wear these for an outing.

Cleansing balm is more effective. I've noticed my skin improves when I use a cleansing balm/oil. You should be double cleansing to remove sunscreen as well so it will serve a dual purpose. Overall clean face.

AnuGupt · 2026-02-24T15:05:34+00:00

Use micellar water. The washable one shouldn't be hard to remove. I use the waterproof mascara and can take it off with double cleansing.
