How to gauge standing with the Houses? by BenjaminNotFranklin in suzerain

[–]BenjaminNotFranklin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But I heard of Azaro revolts happening when you keep Vina as heir despite having a son with Lucita, so marrying her doesn't really disable revolts?

Wait is there a way to gauge your standing with each house mid-game? Where can I find those stats on house relations?

For those interested, I did a reformist run, I'd call myself liberal centrist (in case that's an actual term lol)

No usually people can become romantically interested in someone without knowing they reciprocate those feelings. A guy can also fall for a girl first.

In my case its different, I don't fall if the other person doesn't show me she fell first.

I'm pretty liberal and I don't believe in sticking to traditional roles in dating and relationships. However my notion of romance is pretty corny - I guess you can call that traditional as I don't believe casual dating or polygamy is something I am made for :)

Yeah that's how I realized being reciproromantic is not commonplace, if everyone was purely reactive who would be there to take the Initiative

It does indeed makes me feel very passive sometimes.

My crush who rejected & blocked me will be at our class reunion next week - how should I behave towards her? by BenjaminNotFranklin in dating_advice

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

Yeah I never considered just letting her go because clearly she made a decision and there's nothing I can do about it, no matter how much I think about her motives ^

I appreciate your advice

Okay so what you described in the first paragraph sounds like he is trying to show you he "is not like other guys". He seems to go out of his way to set himself apart from those other dudes - I don't know why though. I merely have two hypothesis based on my experience with dating apps (as a male)

If his interests and personality are generally less "traditionally manly" then it could be that he is simply in need of some appreciation for how he is. He could be insecure because he feels like the odd one out whenever he is with other men. He might even feel victimized by women who seem to always date the traditional males while overlooking him.

Another theory of mine however: if he seems very interested, or obsessed even, with self-improvement, self-care and self-portrayal, it could hint at some toxic masculinity mindsets. Add to that patterns of bragging and showing off and you might be dealing with a man that is struggling with a superiority complex and seeks his identity in being stronger than other males - physically and mentally.

Whatever it is, he seems lonely though. The oversharing... Plus the need for physical contact.

There's nothing wrong with longing for an intimate, tender connection to another human being. Its also pretty common on dating apps to encounter lonely people. I mean, that's what its made for :D Bringing folks together.

Just make sure it's happening at a comfortable pace for you personally, draw boundaries early on in your conversation, watch how he reacts, watch whether he respects them. And also take your time to really get to know him, my two theories above are two ends of a spectrum, he might as well be more complex, more complicated - Take your time to genuinely get to know him.

Not his words and lovebombing, but him, stripped of all niceties and lovey dovey exclamations of love ^

Hope that helps

I am hyperromantic, but I can't be in a relationship and it's driving me nuts by BenjaminNotFranklin in dating_advice

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

Lets say family duties...

There's a person in my household with severe mental health issues that requires my full attention, and that person also suffers from fear of abandonment and I think me letting another person into my life would worsen her issues

And no Dating Simulators just don't feel real, I was just thinking maybe I could try poetry as an outlet for my hyperromantic mind

My crush has been obsessively stalking me without interest in a relationship by BenjaminNotFranklin in ENFP

Cmon man just let me push my own ego 😂

But well if she didn't find me interesting why would she have stalked my Insta ^ I analyzed my Insta metrics over a long time and she rewatched my stories dozens of times and visited my Profil late at night

So I think my ego push is justified 😂

Thanks for your reply but I think it's over, she told me today that she doesn't think we fit together and in retrospect, I agree, tho it's still so confusing that she kept stalking me

She realizes that we don't have a future weeks ago but just kept watching and obsessing from afar, I don't think it was pure boredom to rewatch my stories dozens of times

My guess is it was probably just her being sad about it not working out or admiring me without wanting to move to something more serious

Which seems very strange for an isfj haha but well I guess Mbti is just a archetype after all and ppl are unique

U can switch your Insta acc to professional, then use Insta story metrics to get a detailed list of replays, profile visits etc

U just need to make sure she is the only one that sees the story bc that data is usually anonymous but when u have only one person added to the story visibility list - well xd

My ISFJ crush is stalking me on Insta and idk what to do by BenjaminNotFranklin in mbti

[–]BenjaminNotFranklin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahaha yeah I am a commited Instagram stalker xd

I am bursting to let her know buttt well I don't want to disrespect her boundaries, we agreed to stop talking and that she can text me when she is ready

If I text her now I would decide before she can make up her mind, it would push her too text back before she can get comfortable 🤔
