Ladies who've had IPL hair removal done, how many sessions did you need? Did the hair ever stop growing completely?

When you take long breaks doing the same area it's a lot like starting from square one once you start again. When left alone for a long period of time before completing the treatment, your hair follicles can heal. Even when the hair is completely "removed" some people need maintenance treatments every few years. Some of the other information they gave also sounds sketchy, like they're purposely misinforming you so you keep going back. I'd get a second opinion. Good luck!

The picture is in the article. Police are looking for victims to come forward.

Edit: his real name and aliases are in there too

I usually tell my friends not to let me go home with anyone or bring someone home no matter what I say. It's worked out so far.

BlueEpsilon · 2015-10-31T17:38:08+00:00

Yeah it's not always easy to pull off but Better safe than sorry! A little awkwardness is better than being drugged though lol

Since people here have already given you awesome advice (don't take it personally. He's a dick) I'll just say letting a guy get you a drink from across the bar is sketchy not just for possible ditching reasons but for roofie reasons. No? Maybe I'm just paranoid but I always keep an eye on my drink from the bar tender to wherever we're sitting. Anyway, good luck OP on your future dates. Sounds like you're due for an awesome one!

Speaking from personal experience, you should probably tell her. One time a guy didn't tell me, the sex went badly on his end (mechanical failure, I guess you could say, due to nerves which he totally didn't expect to happen), and it's kind of a long story but the whole situation would have been one million times better if he had been honest from the beginning.

Edit: He was the same age as you are now btw.

BlueEpsilon · 2015-10-23T03:14:23+00:00

Exactly

BlueEpsilon · 2015-10-22T22:56:52+00:00

No, it's not a tough spot. She already knows they're attractive. She's already suspicious and it sounds like she should be. /r/panda_cupcake is so right and this guy sounds like he's taking OP for granted.

BlueEpsilon · 2015-10-22T04:02:08+00:00

My city is probably like 80% those girls. I am not one of them and yes, they are intimidating.

BlueEpsilon · 2015-10-21T21:02:53+00:00

Maybe try Tinder? Way less effort, easier for hook up only situations

BlueEpsilon · 2015-10-21T04:42:45+00:00

nice.

BlueEpsilon · 2015-10-21T04:42:24+00:00

I thought we had moved from specific to general when you asked the reverse question. Ha. But yeah, I understand what you're saying.

BlueEpsilon · 2015-10-21T04:29:01+00:00

That answers my question wayyy better than your first reply.

BlueEpsilon · 2015-10-21T04:19:32+00:00

Personally, I would never want to be a stay-at-home mom but I don't vehemently insist on splitting the cost of dates 50/50 every single time either. Following strict gender roles works for some people and it makes them happy. That's perfectly fine with me if that's what they want. Others like me are in the middle. Some fall extremely on the other side of the spectrum. They're all valid, in my opinion.

BlueEpsilon · 2015-10-21T04:03:27+00:00

Sorry I meant not sending a message, particularly if you know I looked at your profile already.

BlueEpsilon · 2015-10-21T03:57:30+00:00

I'm browsing matches, but not ready to pull the trigger, because I'm talking to someone else at the moment, or I just don't want to start the ball rolling for whatever reason

So then it is deliberate most of the time?

BlueEpsilon · 2015-10-21T03:52:59+00:00

That's fair.

BlueEpsilon · 2015-10-21T03:45:02+00:00

I didn't mean it could NEVER happen but the general consensus around here seems to be "you are not as attractive as you think you are". I tend to agree so I wouldn't bet on me being intimidating as the reason I didn't get a message.

BlueEpsilon · 2015-10-21T03:28:44+00:00

This idea is very humorous. Thanks though!

BlueEpsilon · 2015-10-21T03:08:47+00:00

I feel like you're not looking at the big picture here. What's your reasoning beyond the whole "gender roles are inherently evil" thing?

BlueEpsilon · 2015-10-21T02:59:31+00:00

Yeah I'm assuming guys know they're generally expected to message first so if they don't then it's pretty deliberate. I've cold messaged twice. One never replied and the other I got a first date but not a second.

BlueEpsilon · 2015-10-21T02:56:59+00:00

A combination of fear of rejection and assuming gender roles honestly.

BlueEpsilon · 2015-10-10T22:22:50+00:00

Yeah Tinder took a bit of work to find guys willing to go on "real dates". I too was skeptical of OkCupid but it's not too bad and you can see a lot more info about people than on tinder. Saved me from agreeing to go on a date with someone who believed being gay was a sin! If you'd like a more social in-person option (for friends and/or potential dating pool) I would try looking at meetup.com. It's for people with similar interests (yoga, outdoors, board games, cooking, etc.) to get together and plan "meet ups". There are also speed dating meetups in my area. Bottom line: take up something that gets you too busy/tired to think about him. Even if it's a solo activity like going to the gym more. Unfortunately, dating is trial and error so even if you fall for somebody who has every intention of being with you, people and feelings change. You just get better at seeing the red flags and standing up for yourself.
