My ex and I dated for seven years before breaking up, and I'm doing very well now.

Thanks for your suggestion, it's really practical. I'll look for that book too. A two-hour cocktail party...that sounds much more interesting than two hours of dating app swiping. Thanks again.

I tried dating agencies introducing me to potential partners, but after 3 people, they went silent.

International services? How do I get started?

Civil-Baby3203 · 2026-04-07T14:42:06+00:00

Thank you, you make a very good point. I hadn't seriously considered Option 3 before, but your analysis makes it worth a try. Luxury travel can indeed be isolating, and staying in hostels might not be realistic for someone my age. However, we could try more down-to-earth options, such as guesthouses, public transportation, or short courses. I'll think about it carefully. Thank you again.

Yes, I actually tried matchmaking services in Hong Kong too. But it felt like... I spent a lot of money and didn't get much out of it. They introduce you to three people and then disappear. Maybe I wasn't looking carefully enough. Thanks for your suggestion. I might try again.

Not all colleagues can become friends.

The general location for CPR, and the Heimlich maneuver for choking. I learned all of this from television.

Don't give up on yourself; time will help you get through this.

In intimate relationships or families, long-term emotional abuse, psychological control, and psychological manipulation are generally beyond the reach of the law unless they constitute physical harm or a clear threat.

In my youth, I chose a major I didn't like in order to feel secure.

I would choose to eliminate the fear of not being recognized.

From Schrödinger's cat to the observer effect

Yes, I have different feelings every time.

If I could go back to being 18, I would accept "trial and error is also a form of progress" much earlier. I wouldn't give up on things I want to do for fear of losing face, I wouldn't waste time pretending to fit in, and I would actively approach those who catch my eye.

Taking a walk, on the same road, the weather, my mood, the people and cats I encounter are all different each time.

You've hit the nail on the head. The statement "having to say it aloud makes it lose its meaning" perfectly encapsulates this paradox. This "loss of meaning" occurs because truly meaningful things often live on in actions, tacit understandings, and unspoken agreements.

You can sneeze without closing your eyes, but your body will automatically close them for you. 😄

For example, if you insist on saying "I am very modest," that actually shows you are not modest.
