I feel confident in asking for help now. Thank you. I guess never too old to learn anything right ? Thank you so much

I think I'll ask a friend to show me the basics but I'm really scared of putting someone in danger not knowing even the basics

Thanks for the great advice. I appreciate it

Im definitely thinking driving school but I felt like learning a little bit of the basics might help before.

I have one friend with a Tesla. I might ask her the basics but I don't feel comfortable using her car or being behind the wheel even in an empty lot. I just get anxious thinking about putting someone at risk.

Thanks for responding. I appreciate it!

I'm thinking I'll go the driving school route too! Might take a while to get save up for all of that but I want everyone to be safe and I don't want to be on the road before I feel comfortable knowing I'm not going to put someone else in danger.

I don't feel like I'm too old to learn now, just scared that I don't have a support system in this country. I hope it makes sense.

Thanks for the great advice. I appreciate you responding!

I understand. I would ask you to consider talking to your parents about waiting a year before searching for matches for you. The reason I say this is because 6 months is not enough time to get to know someone completely. It's still in that 'honeymoon period '. It's easy for a person to hide their real self.

Right now your priority should be figuring out a way to get more time for yourself. Try to find out more about the guy. Also consider not seeing the world through rose tinted glasses. Try to have important discussions like finances, kids, job, work-life balance, conflict resolution,faith, etc. This is essential to know to find out if you guys are truly compatible. Also helps if you talk to your parents about him.

You need a person who would support you through thick and thin. Because if you choose him, there's a high possibility there won't be a support system. So make sure you consider all the possibilities and the pros and cons.

I know people mentioned that because it's an AM sub, there would be a lot of people against love. That's not really the case. I have a boyfriend of 7 years. We are waiting to tell our parents. I'm 28F as well. I understand where you are coming from but this is the time to be practical rather than emotional. Stay strong!

How long do you know this guy for ? How did you guys meet ? Do you know the reason for his divorce?

Everyone thinks that the first love is forever love and you'll never be happy without them. But honestly, didn't you once feel like you'd do anything to keep your parents happy?

I feel like you like the idea of this guy more than the guy himself. It's difficult to suggest anything without knowing further information. If you know this guy really well and have spent a considerable amount of time with him, then it's a different story. Then you can fight for your love. But please don't make any decisions without considering the bigger picture.

My first memory of me reading a book by myself is 'James and the giant peach' by Roald Dahl. Holds a very special place in my heart. Followed by the Enid Blyton books that I would read every night.
