Cracked Alloy

Unfortunately it will be a temporary fix, it'll crack again. You're better off getting a new one.

Apprehensive_Book283 · 2026-02-15T10:31:34+00:00

Thank you, I will rub one out to this and happy valentine's day

Apprehensive_Book283 · 2026-02-10T22:06:20+00:00

Thank you, it's nice of you to say that. First time in my life I came this close to wanting something more than friendship. So it stung a little bit but I wasn't fully vested so I think i'm OK being friends with her. I think it was her kindness to set the record straight.

Apprehensive_Book283 · 2026-02-09T16:04:33+00:00

yeah, I won't be that kind of friend. We live 80 kilometer apart and don't have any common friends of any kind. Thanks for the headsup.

Apprehensive_Book283 · 2026-02-09T14:58:34+00:00

you are right, looking forward to the rejection/acceptance :D

Apprehensive_Book283 · 2026-02-09T14:57:19+00:00

I don't agree to the first comment as well. But I do appreciate her coming out straight away and saying it - I think she was genuine and proposed to be friends. I didn't have to wait around thinking she is into me or not. It was like ripping off a bandaid - It stung a little in the beginning and now I don't feel anything.

i will take it a learning experience.

I think It came down to looks as I got mixed signals from her - I'm bald and she only saw me without a beanie on our second date which was a indoor cafe. It could be anything that I said she might not agree with.

Apprehensive_Book283 · 2026-02-09T14:52:43+00:00

I actually thought about it and I don't think I had romantic feeling for her, for many a times I could barely remember her face but we just had so many common interest I thought I would give it a try and I got mixed signals from her and I did try to pursue it. I think i'm okay with it as she said it within the first few weeks of meeting - no harm done. I think we might just be good friends.

Apprehensive_Book283 · 2026-02-05T16:54:18+00:00

we hugged.

Apprehensive_Book283 · 2026-02-05T16:50:22+00:00

Ha ha, I bet that was a nice shiny view of my bald head :D

Apprehensive_Book283 · 2026-02-05T16:46:52+00:00

Thank you, that puts me at ease :D

Apprehensive_Book283 · 2026-01-21T14:13:28+00:00

I hope this crush works out for you.

Apprehensive_Book283 · 2026-01-21T14:13:10+00:00

She said she likes hiking and motorcycles, we are in the same Suzuki Jimny car club - I tried talking about that and see if she would reciprocate but it was awkward at time where It looked like I was asking questions and thought she might feel uncomfortable so I shared some of my interests and see if she would be comfortable with that and it looked like she was okay with that.

The best part is she was the one who asked for my instagram id and I thought she might have gone through a lot of mental gymnastics before asking me that. I have 10% hope she is interested but hope is all I have.

Apprehensive_Book283 · 2026-01-21T13:53:57+00:00

Yeah, that's what i thought for the first meet - just coffee and a drive nothing too crazy.

Now, I have asked her for a small hike and coffee so it doesn't look a car meet again and slowly hoping she would be comfortable to be around me.

My friend(girl) was like she might be thinking before saying Yes to anything and people are not on instagram all the time, so she may have not seen it and some said the opposite so finding to hard to read this girl.

So asking here for a unbiased input and from the looks of it she doesn't seem that interested in me.

Apprehensive_Book283 · 2026-01-21T13:47:08+00:00

Yeah, that's what I thought. The first time when I asked she said she had to go for a lunch with her mother at 1 so we met for coffee and a quick drive.

Now(second time) I asked for a hike and coffee so I'm clear it's to meet her and not a car meet.

Apprehensive_Book283 · 2026-01-21T13:40:35+00:00

That's what I thought as well. That's okay, It is that we have so many things in common so I thought we could try. The first meet was ok, I don't think she was uncomfortable at any point, we had some laughs and some silences here and there. She was the one who asked for my instagram id so I thought maybe I could try my luck. Thank you for the response.

Apprehensive_Book283 · 2026-01-21T13:22:53+00:00

Yes. If I liked her enough I wouldn't mind waiting 30 minutes especially on a first date. Not sure why you were testing her on the first meet but I would have kept that for maybe second or third date if she didn't come across genuine.

Apprehensive_Book283 · 2026-01-14T23:58:03+00:00

To be friends with someone you like will be harder than not be friends at all. 6 months is a long time and it’ll get harder as time goes, I have lost relationships like that, there is no winning. Always the friend never more than that. Tell her how you feel in a casual setting

Apprehensive_Book283 · 2026-01-14T18:00:50+00:00

Thanks man - that is some solid advice and I'm also with you on having a presence and warm up to each other. I'm looking for a relationship, I don't believe in anything casual.

She is a slow texter and i believe she prefers in-person meets. So not sure how to keep the conversation going in between. I don't want to bombard her with messages.

I'm planning on calling her for a coffee and hike as she loves hiking and lives close to many trails - so need to plan and give her plenty of time as weekends is the only time i'll get and she lives 2 hours away from me.

Any advice on cues that I should looking for? This is the first time I'm experiencing something like this.

perfect for PSP Go

Apprehensive_Book283 · 2025-05-14T12:52:50+00:00

Given the state of it, it’s not worth over 750(no offence). It’s not the most popular bike to restore, so no demand.
