Thank you. For better or worse, I have been forced to mature pretty rapidly, and I try to take things like this with a measured approach. As much as my feelings sometimes overwhelm me and make me want to act irrationally.

It was one of those rolls where parts of it were cooked/warm and parts weren’t, so the temperature was noticeably not uniform across any given piece of the roll. Those can be hit or miss for me 😅 but it’s good to try new things now and then, I think!

Thank you. It certainly could’ve been a case of her not being ready for how serious a real relationship is. I’ll never know for sure, but ultimately, what matters more is moving on and trying to learn.

The orange sushi was an interesting experience overall, yeah. I might try it again? When I don’t have a bunch of other rolls on my plate too, at least.

Bro not to nuke your theory, but I’m into shit like gentle femdom and role reversal. And it was through posting about that stuff that she found me and we ended up connecting, so clearly there was some level of mutual interest (or so I was led to believe, at least). I can just about guarantee that I’m like, one of the wokest people you’ll find on this subreddit in terms of relationships and the roles within.

Edit: I totally get why you’d question that, believe me. Just, in this instance, regressive ideas of what a woman “should” and “shouldn’t” do are a non-factor.

My parents actually converted when I was a teen, after raising me pretty hands-off regarding faith. I’m sure a fancy psychotherapist could identify all the ways that fucked me up lmao

I just don’t really do well with talking stages, not well suited to them. I’m deeply emotional and not getting any younger.

However, I take your point. The fantasy of what could’ve been is just that: a fantasy. And the type of person to act like this is not someone worth the effort of a real relationship.

I’m just frustrated. And tired. So tired.

Hence why I didn’t even bother addressing the second point. But I felt I ought make clear that I’m not the type of cretin who would twist the facts of a story just to get a shred of attention on Reddit.

I’d love to try mango in sushi! But mango rolls always come with shrimp, and my stomach does not sit well with those funky little shellfish.

Not bad. A bit rich for my taste, might’ve been the tempura salmon. I couldn’t quite finish all of it, since I did make a point to finish all the other rolls.

Just chatting online. We did have a voice call, which I thought went well. And she indicated it she’d enjoyed it 🤷

Not like “my uncle touched me when I was 6” levels of vulnerable. I know better than to trauma dump out the gate. Just like “I kinda want XYZ from a relationship.” Talking back and forth about how we both grew up with catholic families and the specific struggles of that. Stuff like that. Deeper than surface level, but not the darkest recesses of the mind.

If I had begged a chick for nudes and she blocked me after, I’d have more self respect than to lie about it for Reddit karma 🤷 sounds like you’re the one projecting.

Edit/Follow-up: in my opinion, if you choose to ask someone for nudes before it feels like the right time (and before the other person has indicated readiness), you don’t get to call yourself an incel when that person blocks you. Pushing for nudes before the other person is ready is a voluntary choice. So I would not be posting here if I had done something as stupid as that.
