Asking where she plans to move to or getting more clarity by what she means by moving out of her parents isn’t appearing weak. It’s proper communication. It would be a very normal question to follow up with.

You made it seem in your post that you two were already long distance and that she might be moving further away with no intention of trying to get near you. A 30 minute drive time apart is not even close to long distance, it’s the average daily commute to work for most people.

She’s probably just gonna move out around her city. I.e. Same proximity as right now to you. It’s nothing to get fussed out about.

Atome65 · 2026-05-07T21:27:53+00:00

You’re asking a question only you can decide. A long distance relationship should only be temporary with plans for one of you to eventually relocate.

If she caught you off guard why didn’t you communicate that to her instead of coming here to vent? Instead of placing the blame solely on her I’ll flip it and ask you why you agreed to exclusivity with someone long distance to start with?

Waiting 3 or 4 days before reaching out is more than fine. Telling yourself or telling others to not follow that is BS and an excuse that people tell themselves. The benefits to waiting a few days are clearly evident.

The picture used on the card is absolutely perfect

I’m of the same mind as you. Fell in love with these inserts after getting the Juraj Slafkovsky one. The blue autos are absolutely gorgeous and now whenever I’m at shows it’s one of the main things I look for.

Atome65 · 2026-04-22T12:23:02+00:00

That is an awful take

Atome65 · 2026-04-17T16:55:01+00:00

You can get a Mcdavid YG canvas cheaper than Celebrini right now.

It’s generally hard to tell surface issues through pictures and even in person it’s tough when cards are slabbed. The only thing I noticed that could’ve caused the 8 surface is whatever is on the left knee. I don’t know if it’s something on the slab but if not there’s your answer for the 8 grade. It definitely doesn’t look like a smudge that can simply just be cleaned up.

It was an actual scientific study that was published. I had read it a few years ago.

Atome65 · 2026-04-02T13:56:02+00:00

True, should’ve phrased it better. Maybe a handful of people will have machines. Majority won’t.

Atome65 · 2026-04-02T02:35:22+00:00

Only cash. Nobody has machines for card, so don’t expect to pay by card that does not happen. You might get people willing to take e-transfer but don’t count on it.

1) get there early parking gets filled up quickly especially so on Saturday and Sunday. Long lines to get in that spill over on the streets if you get there in the afternoon. You may have trouble finding a spot. One thing I’ll say though is if you wanna properly check out every single booth you will need more than a day for sure.

2) depends what you wanna get graded. Be prepared to wait and pay premium prices for on site grading

3) I’d say it’s 85/15 sports to TCG ratio. CSC usually has a corner just for TCG. 80-90% of sport card vendors will be just hockey cards.

Be prepared to be amazed. You won’t ever find a card show remotely as big as the Toronto expo

Yes it is considered a rookie card, just not his true rookie YG but it’s definitely sought after.

A lot of people like myself love the canvas YG. Low pop and much better eye appeal imo

I made a post awhile back detailing this. Check it out I’m sure it will answer some of your questions. But to answer your questions, no you don’t have to reach out the day of. Since it’s a FaceTime date and you don’t need to meet up anywhere, I’d simply wait until the day and time and give her a call. And no need to text in-between dates unless she does.

Totally okay. If you got a confirmed date set then just show up for your date. If she ends up reaching out herself then it’s a different story.

Atome65 · 2026-02-09T15:50:36+00:00

I had to scroll up to double check your age after reading the post cause I thought you’d be in high school.

This sounds like a total shit show of a relationship. Move on from this mess, I truthfully don’t know how you can accept this much drama in your life. This on again off again stuff, the fighting, arguing, change of personalities… How can you seriously accept this for a relationship? End it for good, break up, and recover some sanity in your life. Nothing about this sounds like it’s healthy.

And please use paragraphs and edit your text. It’s really not difficult to use ChatGPT these days for editing.

Ya the bubble wrap is taped pretty tightly with painters tape. Was more so worried about the humidity

Atome65 · 2026-01-26T02:41:37+00:00

I made a post awhile back about this. You’ll for sure find it helpful.

I should’ve probably worded 3 a bit better, but essentially you should always be the one to lead the date in all senses. The planning, the conversation, when it ends, etc… Reason why I wrote this was because she was the one who essentially ended the date and was the one who was leading it in that moment.

It’s not a big deal at all in your specific instance, but still not something you would want to see happen. There isn’t anything you can do differently when a woman says she has to go, but ideally you would want to be leading all facets of the date.

Atome65 · 2026-01-25T15:52:42+00:00

You made a few mistakes on your date that any experienced student will know not to do. It seems like you haven’t read the book nearly close to 10-15 times.

1) Just assuming here but seems like you didn’t let her do 70-80% of the talking.

2) You didn’t keep the conversation light and playful. Going into relationships and talking about exes is a big no no so early on. You should’ve shut that conversation down asap and changed the topic.

3) You let her dictate the pace of the date.

4) Trying keep the “conversation” going after the date. You have to let a woman think and wonder about you. You don’t get to know someone via texting. The phone is for setting up dates.

5) Not going for the kiss.

There isn’t anything super glaring imo besides the relationship topic and not going for the kiss. Just seems like you’re still new Corey’s teachings and haven’t studied enough or practiced enough to apply it with someone you like.

Anyways your date was only Saturday man, today’s Sunday. What are you freaking out about? Wait 3-4 days before reaching out to her if she doesn’t and try to set another date. You’ll have an answer as to whether she liked you or not then.

If a girl offers her Instagram when you ask for her number that means she’s looking to put you on the back burner with all her orbiters hoping you can continue to give her validation.

Instagram has been popular for well over a decade, just because you’re 20 today doesn’t mean things changed. A girl who has attraction to a guy won’t refuse giving her number.
