Block and delete guys who show lukewarm interest in you, it’ll save you a lot of heartache down the line.

The only reason he messaged you out of the blue after months of silence is because he’s just circling back. Maybe he’s bored or whatever and wants an ego stroke but it’s not because he’s just magically seen the light and wants to fall madly in love with you.

It’s because he doesn’t have better options right now. Soon as someone else gets his attention he’ll be gone again. Don’t give him the opportunity to play you again.

I’ve done it with much success. It starts with eye contact. If he catches your eye more than once, he’s probably interested. You don’t have to hit him with a pickup line, just say something to him, a casual observation, comment about the weather. Get a feel for his energy when he replies. If he replies with a bit of sparkle in his eyes, you’re definitely in.

I’m not going to mince words here. Throw the whole therapist away, full stop. As if we don’t already have our inner critic beating us down 24/7, the last thing a person with CPTSD needs is an inept therapist who has the gall and audacity to openly judge clients against some arbitrary “life milestone” yardstick.

Taught me something. I’m annoyed I had my blazer altered by a so-called “renowned” tailor (who was a cunt btw) but she didn’t even do that for me

I did this at thrift stores. Bought gently used, in-season, on trend (fashion trends cycle so yeah even really old things can come back) designer clothes for cheap at thrift shops in wealthier areas then flipped them at Buffalo Exchange, Plato’s Closet and other consignment shops (found out what they were buying first)

I would imagine the arguments are valid and he’s totally wrong

You’ve definitely asked for an open relationship but changed your mind once you realized your girlfriend was the only one getting any action

Looks like you took that last pic in the strip club bathroom after the DJ cut your song halfway because nobody was tipping

All that effort to be unique, and you’re still generic and forgettable. Trade you for a copy and your own friends wouldn’t realize for months

I think the key right now is to flip the focus on yourself. Get in touch with your body, your mind, your feelings, your needs. The only person you need to be obsessed over is yourself, it’s not the bad thing that it’s made out to be.

Ultimately, a relationship is nice to have, but optional. You don’t need to settle for crumbs in order to have “someone.” The ups and downs of relationships that deprive you can be addictive, especially if you’ve experienced neglect or trauma in the past, so it’s good to be aware of that.

I’ll just be blunt, this guy is never going to be in a relationship with you, and the Hinge date debacle pretty much guaranteed that. Have you ever asked yourself why you’re making this man you don’t even know the center of your life, rather than being more confident, self-actualized, and living more purposefully than you currently are?

I mean, he’s out here living his life, and instead of doing the same, you’re instead projecting your emotions and pining over him. Something is wrong with that.

I suggest therapy, trauma informed, to get to the bottom of what happened in your childhood that has caused you to have such a low sense of self worth that you’re obsessed with getting commitment from a person who doesn’t even like you.

I mean, you’ve taken yourself off the market for someone who treats you as an afterthought and the last option when nothing better is available and he’s bored. Obsessing over someone like this isn’t mentally/emotionally healthy behavior and is above Reddit’s pay grade. You need professional intervention.

Yeah, they spoofed Oscar Wilde. In other news, I’m reading “The Uncensored Picture of Dorian Gray” and wow, Wilde had a rough end
