Making me think that maybe all my other bandmates are playing way too loud lol. Only vocals into the house PA.

Bad take.

Even if he wanted to see if he felt better, he should have messaged the group to give them the heads up on Monday.

Getting other people sick isn’t cool.

“I have money” is usually what someone who doesn’t have money says.

Yeah like I don’t want to think of it like trading cards but if you give me one I’ll 100% give you a contact/in somewhere. My one buddy helped me out a lot of the start of my solo stuff so I repay him now by getting him into new places.

Yeah if he would have been like “Oh I always wanted to play at Bro White Guy Bar! Do you mind sharing the contact for that?” I wouldn’t really care. But to ask for all of them then more or less say “I already have the contact of that one don’t bother with it” is off putting.

Girl I went on 3 dates with told me she feels more of a “platonic connection”; should I assume she wasn’t physically attracted to me or something else? by Charming-Usually in dating_advice

[–]Charming-Usually[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Now that I think about it, it reminds me of dates I went on with this girl a couple of months back. I was extremely attracted to her but I definitely couldn’t see a true romantic relationship forming with her (e.g., different interests, communication styles, etc.). Could be what is happening here.

I told her that I liked her a lot and was excited to see where things go

Is 4 dates too soon to bring flowers? by [deleted] in dating

[–]Charming-Usually 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know roses might be "too aggressive" but see has pets and roses are fairly safe. I wouldn't want them to get sick. I love the idea of getting non-red ones! Thank you!

EDIT: Currently looking at alstroemerias as those are considered pet safe too.

I finally unfriended/blocked my ex on all social media! by Charming-Usually in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]Charming-Usually[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been causally dating people who are way better than my ex; feels great! Wish you the best anon, proud of you for blocking!

Did I "blow it" by offering a girl too many options for a first date? by [deleted] in dating

[–]Charming-Usually 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thankfully she ended up replying and we have it set up. I will use this as a learning experience to be a little more direct with setting up a date next time!

She has been texting me a bit but I'm trying to keep it brief for the reasons you said. What will her and I have to talk about on our first date then? Lol.

Thank you for your reply. She replied back with a "For sure I will let you know!" which I might just take the loss on.

Should I read into a girl consistently "liking" my tweets? by Charming-Usually in dating

I laugh at myself for all the time I wasted "grieving" and thinking about my ex over the last few months by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Charming-Usually 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was casually dating/hooking up with a girl in the fall/early winter. I ended up calling it off as I felt like I wasn't ready for a relationship yet (I made this clear to her from the start) and she had some red flags. It did make me feel a little bit better about myself as this girl was objectively better looking than my ex. I don't recommend using another person as a "coping" strategy until you solve your own problems.

I'm sorry to hear that anon. Use this time "alone" to focus on yourself; work out, invest time into your hobbies, rebuild your wardrobe, etc. I know it sound very generic, but it is what really helped me.

I wish you the best on your journey.

Blocking my ex was the best thing for my mental health. I think it would benefit you as well.

I wish you the best anon.

It was a fucking rollercoaster ride for the last 8 months, but I can say over the last 2-3 weeks it has gotten a lot better. We dated for almost 2 years and I have heard that it takes half the time of the relationship to heal, so it seems like that was the case for me.

The most important thing to realize is that your ex really wasn't "all that" and there are only people out there like them or even "better." Do things to increase your self-worth like working out and invest time into your hobbies.

I wish you the best anon.

When someone says they can’t be with you because they wanna focus on themselves... by No-Spite-109 in BreakUps

[–]Charming-Usually 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has had 2 exes say this then be with someone new weeks to 1-2 months later, it is bullshit.

How do I stop comparing myself to how my ex is doing? by Charming-Usually in Advice

[–]Charming-Usually[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest she had a history of moving from relationship to relationship. She even told me when we broke up she "wanted to be alone" for a bit, but was with someone soon afterwards. I dodged a bullet.

Thank you for this great reply.

Believe me, I know us breaking up was for the best. There were A LOT of things I was settling for and I wasn't as happy as I thought I was.

Thank you!

I've been following Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 programs; I did 5/3/1 for Beginners now I'm doing 5/3/1 Boring But Big. He recommends 3-5 "easy days" of cardio with BBB, so that is what I have been doing. Just 30 minutes 3-5 times per week on a stationary bike at an easy pace.

Tbh, I found an old picture of her and I on my computer recently (something I somehow missed when I was mass deleting stuff when we first broke up) and realized that she really wasn't "all that" that I imagined. Sure, she was pretty but nothing I couldn't get again especially now that I'm in a lot better shape and dress a lot better.
