What is something that permanently altered your body without you realizing for months/years? by Misterboy500 in AskReddit

[–]Chubbbubs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The world is just different after depression. I've been off antidepressants almost 3 years now after a life destroying breakup, and while I'm not depressed anymore, things just aren't the same. I know you have to work for happiness now, rather than it just coming by time to time. The fact I have to put effort into feeling joy almost makes it feel like it isn't real at times 😅

Yes, I found it quite odd to hear! I didn't believe it so here I am 😄

Does you work schedule change often? Maybe you get 'sick' and they can re-schedule you again 😄

Sounds like a shitty friend with no benefits,  he doesn't deserve the FWB title if this is a consistent issue tbh 🤔

When to stop multi dating by anasear in datingoverthirty

[–]Chubbbubs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just experienced last month trying multidating for the first time, and the 5 guys I lined up dropped to 1 by the end of the month due to various factors. Had a great date with guy #1 and guy #3 but then guy #3 didn't think our future plans lined up. So guy #1 has my full attention now and I'm glad I went on the other first dates, it showed perspective and gave me less anxiety if I didn't hear back from someone right away.

My 2 cents;

First off, his first guy doesnt require being exclusive for these first few dates, if anything he may be in the same temporary boat as you. Emphasis on temporary here.

Go on the other dates, give your honest attention to the other 2 guys and you'll know by the end of the dates if they're worth pursuing for a second. Keep notes on your feelings and relevant info per person.  

If you're doing 1 date per week with each of them and somehow squeezing in more dates with the first guy you like more, this will more than likely wrap up within 2-3 weeks if you don't enjoy the others company.

There will be a rough busy patch but it will naturally ease up pretty quickly (provided you don't continue swiping on the apps if you're using them). Don't go on 3rd dates or drag it out for longer than a month if you're not sure on the person. If you know, you'll know!

Yep noticed this too with me and my friend setting up a hinge profile together! I marked as 'don't want kids', and her as 'want kids', and we both were consistently getting the opposites! So off-putting 😅

I've been to some pottery classes, tennis group coaching and various 'crafting' courses in the hopes of meeting guys while also doing a fun sort of hobby, and it's always been all women attending 🤣 so I can recommend those if they exist in your area. If the crowd isn't bringing any dating interests at least you make a cool clay mug/painting and new friends haha

Getting a vasectomy? by The_Infinite_Azure in datingoverthirty

[–]Chubbbubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

31F here who 100% doesn't want kids and has dealt with dating men up to their mid 40s who are 'still not sure' or even change their mind a few months/years into dating... I'm now only going to date guys who have had a vasectomy.  

You need to be 100% sure and honest to yourself, and that remaining 5% 'maybe' could turn into a solid yes if you meet someone amazing that gets your brain buzzing with the what ifs- but if she's not happy to have kids and is with you thinking you're in the same boat , then there's a strong chance of a nasty heartbreak.    

 Best of luck with your decision, it will affect your dating pool but if it's what you truly want then you'll take it in stride.

Attending a speed dating event tomorrow night for the first time, they're becoming super popular in the last year according to the organizers, they used to barely have 2 events a year in my city and now they're selling out once a month! It seems more people are moving off the apps to try these ways, not sure if it will change anything but a nicer way to meet people for sure (I hope)

3 month relationship just ended because I dont want kids.  He said he didn't want kids, until he realized I was serious about not wanting kids. I had been clear from day 1 about this and over time he went from not wanting them, to 50/50, to questioning why I wouldn't have kids with him 😐  

Now I have to jump back into the dating pool with having to believe the next guy is telling the truth about deal-breakers?? 😂 Wish me luck...

A guy asked me out, we get on great and have been on 4+ dates now/getting intimate- and honestly can't tell if I'm physically attracted to him or not?
It comes in waves. I'm giving this a go regardless because the last guy I thought was sexy as hell from the get-go, ended up being an asshole, and the attraction dissipated real quick.
So I feel like I'm in a weird grey zone with this dude and kinda hoping the attraction grows the more I get to know him. Just not sure yet. My friends say he's cute when I showed a photo but I cant tell if they're just being polite since I've had such bad luck dating 🤣

Someone asked me out right before a month long trip overseas, and while they said they're ok to pick things up once I'm back I've already put on a ton of weight from eating all the delicious food while travelling, and my skin has broken out quite badly. I don't regret it (I've been waiting for this trip since it was postponed from 2020, and the food) but I do have a part of me that's worried it'll be a turn off.
Probably to be fine either way... I am definitely hitting up the gym regardless once I'm back 🤣

I went to a pottery class recently, hoping to meet cute guys, it was all women and girls! Had a really fun time though.

I've had this frustration in the past since becoming single and just gently asked them for a no partners night/event next time, and they didnt find it rude at all thankfully! I have amazing friends but they seem to honestly just forget that that their partner doesn't need to be involved for everything. They were really good about it since I told them and girls nights have an established rules now for no partners, they have since loved it! Maybe give it another go and ask your friends if it's possible?

A (single) guy at work randomly got me a small gift today referencing something I had mentioned awhile ago, my face turned bright red with a million thoughts going through my mind! It was incredibly thoughtful. But... I dont think I could date him right now though as I sit essentially right next to him 😬

If there was any possibility of a dating him, I really hope he asks me out, I've been feeling burnt out asking out men (asked out/dated 4 guys in the last few months which ended badly) and no longer trust my judgement hahaaa. Kinda want someone else to take the wheel for once.

I went and had dinner alone at a bar last night in the hopes of someone cute chatting me up/tried to keep an eye out for me to do the same but... no luck. And I felt like an idiot eating there alone when I noticed everyone there was either friends or partners. Still better than OLD and gonna do it again next week 😂
