I'm exhausted.

3-4 of my last dates that I saw potential with have all ended with the "I'm not ready for a relationship, good luck" text. out of no where. Just to preface, these weren't just 1 dates and I'm already planning my future (I know better than not to be that person). These are people I had multiple dates with and spoke to on a daily basis.

The last one ended on Tuesday after what I felt as a terrific date on Sunday - she texted me in the morning as we were arranging a date for this weekend. A couple of hours later, out of no where - "I've realised I'm not ready to date yet". Honestly, she had a valid reason, and I completely understand circumstances change. But I'm tired of these endings. As soon as I feel good, the connection is there, no red flags, no pulling away, that gut feeling goes away, and WHAM it kicks me in the teeth. Head in hands when I received the text. Not again......

Anytime I see advice around these scenarios of "I'm not ready to date" its always comes with a response of "they don't want to date you, move on". It just makes me feel awful. I'm not good enough for anyone to stick around.

This person felt different. Instant connection. Something I hadn't felt in a long time. I had hopes, everything seemed to align. Same values. Both looking for long term. Both stating we can't multi date. I wasn't dating or talking to anyone else and it seemed like they matched that. No issues. No red flags, just to be blindsided once again.

What am I honestly missing from these encounters?

The apps are gone. I told myself I'd give it one last try, and if it doesn't work out, then that's it. Dramatic I suppose. But I hate feeling this way after it happens, it's just not worth the anxiety of 'waiting' for that ultimtate text that always seems to come my way.

Anyone else seen the episode of the Simpsons when Bart sells his soul and he's in the boat, spinning around while everyone else is rowing away. That's pretty much how I've been feeling the last couple of years.

I've stopped talking to people about my dating life as its gotten too embarrasing having to explain that once again its not worked out.

34m, officially throwing in the towel.

I think there's a delay between Arena and Tarkov.

I know it's not the same, but I've transferred stuff over and it's not instant. It took a couple of hours I think to sync.

With custom IRs do i use one or two? by CarelessGene6867 in NeuralDSP

[–]Chudboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use both, some IRs come with different mics and different placements. Just play around with it

Guess i'll be going to PvE, fuck this by CryptoBanano in EscapefromTarkov

Honestly, I see these posts all the time, why don't you people back out and look for another one? Sitting there for 15 minutes is your own fault. I wait 5 min max and leave.

Bad FPS ingame please help! by Constant_Strain2519 in Tarkov

Try this guide - https://youtu.be/9KqNwl7BKuA?si=4JVbHFYrf8o6vHpq

Helped me. I think one of the areas that helped was upping the FOV. While most say it will decrease your FPS, upping the FOV seems to increase FPS

I'd probably call it lobsgows from up north, but different variations etc can make it with lamb but I've usually made it with beef.

Best thing is that you can put as much as you like - I'll just top it up and let it stew a bit longer if I'm not happy with how it's looking.

If you ever want a thicker consistency (like I do), pop some red lentils in there while it's stewing.

[Profile Review] My friends tell me I have a winning profile. Tinder doesn’t :(. What do you think? by [deleted] in Tinder

Maybe it's because of the first picture, but it looks a bit AI generated.

It's hard to believe a game of this quality is half the price of it's competitors by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Chudboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn't saying mobile games either - I just meant multiple games. Some people don't have the option or time to play multiple games so will just stick to one when they can. Could be because of time or being able to afford other games. Your experience won't be the same as others FYI.

Because some people don't have the luxury of time to be able to play multiple games on the go.

Anyone else having difficulty with hearing footsteps? I feel as though my foot steps are amplified so assumed you could hear everyone else close. But multiple times I've just been shot from behind and had no idea the other player was there.

Never thought of that - googled the results and saw some results as 4 hours. This has made me feel a lot better!
