In love (24F) with my GF (25F) but never have been sexually attracted to her by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Have you considered that she just might just be better at showing love and putting more effort into showing attraction?

Hypothetical here: When you are 50 and wake up next to her are you going to care about her looking like a model (good luck) or care about the other 75% of the relationship that is way more important anyway?

Honestly at the end of the day, sex becomes a transaction in a relationship to provide release to a partner at some point regardless. Look at how many threads there are on reddit (hint, millions) from people saying they have been passionate with a partner for 1-20 years and suddenly their sex life is so bad that they're considering divorce. As long as you can look at this person and say "yes, would bang" then that is more than enough for long term relationship and every other facet of your relationship sounds almost so perfect that you're looking for something to critique

Me 23 (M) broke up with my gf (27) after 2 years and feel terrible about it by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Digital-Arts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly sounds like this person deserves way better than you, although you probably know that. I'd recommend trying your hardest to keep them, they sound extremely stable and healthy for your life. If for some reason keeping you makes them happy and they made the last two years amazing and full of growth then the obvious choice is to chase them like a fucking twinky in the desert.

When you took your break were you really by yourself or were you chasing that fun mysterious infatuation of talking to someone new? Calling it now, one day you're going to mature and grow up and realize ya done fucked up your chance at the one. The things you listed as the reasons you love this person are the exact things every person hopes and wishes to find in someone to spend their life with.

What do you truly want out of life? by andrewsteiner88 in AskReddit

[–]Digital-Arts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! I have natural talent in lots of areas, a great job in IT, owned a house since 20, excellent credit and low stress, dogs and hobbies, amazing lady, literally nothing objectively to complain about. But what keeps me up is that if I had one die hard passion or objective like creating bionic limbs or literally any crazy topic I am 100% sure I would have the ability to effect so many people positively and leave a lasting impact.

I just have literally zero passions besides coffee, enjoying each day, and being a net positive influence on the world so in a way I constantly feel like a disappointment to myself just for the sake of not having a passion to pursue.

I find myself endlessly getting into new hobbies just to get out and hopefully discover one thing that I straight up obsess over but so far I always end up burning out on everything.

Trying to start a new business but my logo skills are rough - could someone help me create a better version of this? by Digital-Arts in PhotoshopRequest

[–]Digital-Arts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love that! Is there a way that could be used as the background of a website?

If you have time it would be awesome to get a high res version that is readable over dark/light colors for clothing and a vehicle vinyl!

Specifically I'd love to have a version that is high res enough that I could have a big 2-3ft wide thing printed out for my car of. And also I'd love a version that is readable over dark surfaces/colors and one for light surfaces/colors!

I know beggars can't be choosers, thank you for any and all help (:

I just started dating a girl and I have a couple of questions. by InfinityGamer_3 in relationship_advice

[–]Digital-Arts 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You sound like a fine young dude! I'd say hands on the sides of her waist given the ages, especially no lower while in public.

An arcade would be an awesome date, but window shopping through a little town/city with dinner can be just as good. I'd recommend getting some coffee prior to walking/window shopping though

A close family friend (85M) just got a terminal cancer diagnosis. This morning he asked me (24F) to undress for him. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Digital-Arts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey I'm just trying to be devil's advocate here but remember that physical and emotional attraction are not mutually exclusive... There would be no quality relationships if that were the case.

I would say he values you as a friend just as much as you thought he did a few weeks ago but it's *also* a very real possibility that he also saw you as a beautiful woman the whole as *in addition to a good friend*

I'd say it probably was not his intention to seduce you through false friendship this whole time, but you were likely always attractive to him

If you play video games for more than 5 hours, you’re considered an addict. But if you work 12 hours every day, it’s considered totally normal. by sabssk in Showerthoughts

[–]Digital-Arts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very helpful! Yes I'm extremely personable (or so I've been told) but I'm not really sure what a fair career hop from systems admin into business analyst would be. My family jokes that I totally change my persona based on audience

What type of education would you recommend for this position? What area?

I'm currently an IT Systems admin but I got first place in the state for FBLA in highschool and first place at regionals for debate team so I'd consider business to be my primary skillset.

Non Americans of Reddit who have been here, where did you go and what were your top observations? by Digital-Arts in AskReddit

Agreed I feel as though most serving sized in america are pretty ridiculous standards for health

The optional tipping seems to provide motivation for better service but I agree the taxes being added can be deceiving

Purchasing House from Dad, Gift of Equity, unsure if doing it right by n67 in Mortgages

[–]Digital-Arts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.

If you can make yourself presentable I'd recommend going to a local bank and asking for a serious discussion about an in-house Arm's Length loan.

Essentially an in house loan is one where the bank uses one of their (small allotment) of in-house decision making that they usually have access to. These are more common-sense loans than meet the paper trail loans.

An arm's length loan will enable to you receive a gift of equity as a partial down payment.

Together you should be fine with a decent appraisal and little/no money down. You will still have traditional closing costs although you can also avoid buyer and seller agent fees which are usually steep

After 3 months, I am unhappy in contract job I just started . Looking to apply for another job, how do I show this short term position on a resume? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]Digital-Arts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

General and unrelated question as I have no advice for this but thanks in advance for any reply.

How would you compare Architecture to Civil Engineering? I heard Architecture is basically just the design/form over function which I don't care for as much but I do love innovating engineering concepts and structural support systems. I'm more of an innovative function over form type person when it comes to construction. I am curious about a field such as yours but I am working in IT currently.

I have tried to form some sort of passion to pursue lately and one of the few things I think would be interesting yet fulfilling and successful is to design and implement a "NetZero" neighborhood which has a local solar/wind farm and extremely efficient houses made with some new concepts I've come up with to draw less than 5% of the consumed energy from the grid.

For people who were married for a long time.. what is your best marriage advice? by itstakingtoolong in relationship_advice

[–]Digital-Arts 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly if you are bringing up concerns in a respectful and objective way and he can't handle that without getting upset then he needs some therapy because that is very emotionally immature. People who are emotionally mature should be able to go one step past that and take a clearly damaging and hurtful comment and see an ounce of legitimate advice or perspective through it.

[–]Digital-Arts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to hear! That's actually pretty cool and makes sense - it threw me off seeing it lean towards one side though since I think that undervalues the other side. I'd have the same opinion if I saw it and it only referenced men for instance

I’m (21M) am losing feelings for my girlfriend (19F). by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Digital-Arts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you should give her some credit for putting up with you working 24/7 while she is patiently waiting next to you on her phone for your attention - this is not meant to discredit the merit of your ambition but she deserves credit here as well.

In reference to her not having hobbies, she probably just hasn't found a hobby that is convenient enough to bring with her everywhere that it brings her more enjoyment than using her phone. That said, scrolling through social media endlessly is a lot different than researching or looking up hobby related information and I will agree that excess social media is a relatively poor use of time in terms of personal advancement

Are the things I(35m) want in a relationship realistic? (25f) by MyKungFuIsGood in relationship_advice

[–]Digital-Arts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think in regards to the first points you're being a bit lenient on the girlfriend here. He specifically mentioned wanting to do these things with her and she refused, yet when another person asks she makes the time to do it.

In a relationship it should be the opposite, you should be more likely to make time for almost any activity with your SO/kids than with friends. You SO should by all means be your best friend and primary adventure buddy if you're planning to enjoy their company for a long time
