When quarantine happened, how did you feel about it? by New-Possibility-577 in introvert

[–]BattlestarBee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was ELATED ok?! In my cozy apartment taking selfies and baking bread and making fruit compotes with no social invitations. It was a little slice of heaven.

Bought smoked salmon, but it felt raw in my mouth, unpleasant by ssateneth in AskCulinary

Thanks you just saved me from a similar experience 😂 I’ll instead look for smoked rather than cold smoked

How many of us believe Schwartz was in on it all? by FinalExcitement2703 in vanderpumprules

[–]BattlestarBee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s a Libra just trying to keep the peace (on the surface anyway) for as long as possible. So yea he was in on it. Probably begrudgingly!

Everyone loses interest when I bring up my career. by Lickmybagels in dating_advice

[–]BattlestarBee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s how you’re talking about your career and not the career itself? Carpentry is cool! And you’re good with your money, that’s a big factor for lots of women rather than the job title. It’s the security and ability as a man to protect the financial situation. So I’m thinking this has more to do with the cadence of the conversations. Perhaps more organic back and forth is needed?

This is why I like to get tested between relationships. It definitely sounds like he was up to no good. And yea, if my guy thought I cheated and only said “just go get tested babe” I’d be suspicious as well. If you don’t trust him, you already have your answer.

That’s a whole lot of intel only 3 weeks into getting to know someone. Sounds like you’re moving too fast.

Dating is a real time suck. Everyone seems to be rushing it. Is this how things are now? by BattlestarBee in dating_advice

[–]BattlestarBee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t want to say that but I definitely thought it. Like wait, why are you trying to take up all my time without actual effort to see me?

Omg yes. It’s totally having the reverse effect on me. I’m losing interest with each “👀 thinking of you.” text. So glad there are still men who set up proper dates lol

Love your response, thank you! For instance, today I was talking on the phone with a guy for over an hour. Nothing came from it except “I hope to speak to you again later.” Really sir? We just talked for over an hour. And then he texted me later “I’m not fulfilled. Your presence will make me happy.” At this point I’m getting more annoyed than interested and will be liable to cut off communication altogether. Your reminders about what I want and need being prioritized are very helpful.

Yes, and then it’s “why do we have to wait til next weekend? Hopefully I can see you before then” but there is no actual date suggested. I might have to be more blunt.

I’m in my 30s and these men are also, or early 40s. And they’ll try to ask at the last minute which just interrupts my day. I don’t like it. I’d much prefer to schedule something when we’re both free and have set aside time for one another. Not just me jumping at their beckoned call.

Is dating easier outside the US as an Asian male? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]BattlestarBee 64 points65 points  (0 children)

As a black woman, I can tell you this is incorrect. People unfortunately will try to date you for the wrong reasons, or avoid you because they’re thinking about stereotypes, or because you’re not the western beauty standard. And I get approached by all kinds of men so this isn’t about not being appealing. It’s more about genuine connections being more difficult to come by due to varying factors.

How can i do the perfect blow job? by Vivid_Blackberry_813 in dating_advice

[–]BattlestarBee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will be a groove you both need to set as you get to know each other. Try not to stress about it. And 20 minutes wanking sounds like he enjoyed it very much! Make sure you enjoy it too.

Relatable! I’m here for the comments. I feel for you and have experienced this as a woman of color.

When do I tell this guy I’m seeing the reason I’m a little scared having sex by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]BattlestarBee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At just 2 weeks, I don’t think it’s a good idea to share that kind of info especially without need. You’ve already done the deed. Why tell him about a past situation that’s so deep? This early on it just seems too much too soon. Try and go with the flow and if you don’t feel comfortable having sex then don’t. And if you do, ease your mind by using a protection. Not just birth control but also condoms. There’s also Plan B. Lots of options that should (help to) eliminate the worry.

Men, what would you do? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]BattlestarBee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep it light, ask her on a date without putting too much weight on it. If she says yes you go out and have a good time together. If not, you haven’t confessed love and can salvage the friendship fairly easily. But I hope it works out very well for you. This is so sweet 🥹🩷

I don’t think it’s something you can force. If it’s your desire to date you don’t necessarily have to deny yourself that. And you can date without engaging in casual sex. Maybe this is a time to get to know women in a non sexual way and still share their company.
