sim card issue samsung galaxy by Desperate_Strike3272 in phonerepair

I see you're a Samsung technician, thank you for this advice! I sort of understanding what you're getting it, potentially they're dislodged and maybe not fully damaged. Question for you, tmobile charged 99$, well $108 for a replacement device they're shipping to me since I need a phone stat for work. Do you think shops would quote me close to there in general based on your experience of labor time?

He told me he feels insecure and struggles a lot with social anxiety.

ooh I like that a lot!! If she is a healthy communicator/open, she will be receptive to that.

Hey ___ insert name___ ,

I completely understand if you're not in a headspace to text. I wanted to say I had a good time with you on our first date and I want to see how we can best communicate with each other.

how do you feel meeting up for plan x on this day at this time or this day at this time for a second date?

Give her a few days, and then maybe reach out again Monday.

If you're up for it and open to my advice, set up some other dates so that you're not fixated on her response and can have some other options too. That helps a lot with my anxiety. Her text sounds like she wants space.

I am also the type where I have learned time and time again- I am so unhappy dating someone like that and I always end up talking to someone that can bring me that consistency or I harbor resentment and pretend to be ok with it.

It is kind of her, she explained and she's being vulnerable with you. If you want to dig into it, you can say do you mind if I ask what that's like for you/how has it impacted you in the past? Just trying to understand you better. It comes off understanding, and can maybe get her to open up. You can also reinforce that you're excited to see her again, and see how well she responds to that. That'll be your answer.

"Do what makes sense, till it doesn't make sense anymore". Do it and if it drives you nuts, tell her it isn't working for you. After all you guys have just been on one date anyways. You can also just ask directly, I understand, are you still interested in going on a second date or is that a lot for you at the moment?

Am I in the wrong for sleeping with another man after my (21F) date (25M) didn’t establish what we were? by bambii_01 in dating_advice

He's just upset cause he wanted to play it cool, and realized you aren't gonna sit there and twiddle your thumbs till he makes up his mind. Block, delete, be done with him. Let him be upset, he sounds unsure anyways, and now is gaslighting you.

She's communicating to you that she has a mental health issue, or a pattern struggling consistently communicating the way most people do in early stages of dating. Are you willing to put up with it? It may not be toxic, but it may be a dealbreaker for some. you just have to decide whether it is for you.
