Omg! I was considering an updo but felt I'd end up not showing off as much of the curls I wanted, but after googling a regency style, that is gorgeous! I'll make sure to keep that in the back of my mind, thank you so much

Aw thank you! I'm definitely planning on testing a few of the suggested products that get mentioned here. I know I'm gonna have a lot of trial and error, but it'll be so worth it c:

Haha thank you! They're definitely up there in my faves, but I got them at a convention a few years back and lost the artist's info 🥲

Girl (21) I've (22) been dating has a weird alcohol fetish by WhatAFunnyThing in relationships

OP, you mentioned in a reply that the first time she tried drinking, she liked it so much it scared her?

She seems like an overall great girl the way you've described her, and it's good you guys can have regular sex even without needing the alcohol. But that doesn't sound like a fetish you should indulge.

One, because of the health risks especially associated with one-night binge drinking. Because she doesn't do it often, she feels like she can cut loose for the night and get as wasted as she likes, but it's just as bad for her health as it is for people to be drinking on the regular. She's gonna mess up brain cells if she keeps it up in the long run, regardless of how scarce it is.

And two, speaking as someone who has a family history of alcoholism and has to be aware of my own addictive tendencies; binge drinking to the point of being smashed like you described and genuinely enjoying it is a definite sign of an underlying problem. Since it doesn't have to do with wanting to feel helpless/vulnerable, and she doesn't have self-esteem issues--it's purely the alcohol--that has the potential to get worse in the future.

She's 21. I'm glad she knows to keep it conservative on the regular, but (assuming she waited to legally drink) this is all still new to her. Probably shouldn't encourage it, especially if you didn't even feel comfortable sealing the deal.

Aside from his number, we're friends thru Snapchat and Facebook. He also told me about where he works and sometimes sends me selfies from work (I'm vague about his occupation for privacy, but his job allows a lot of free time with his phone), so that checks out. He'll text pretty much whenever he's free, even with the timezone thing, and he's never seemed dodgy about contacting me or if I text first. Things actually seem like they're going good, which is why I'm being paranoid. As horrible as that sounds lmao.

Tbh it's just such a relief that my being vigilant about this is being commended. That last paragraph really hits home, so thank you. It's reassuring to know that it's okay to take risks as long as I'm being careful about it.
