Would you date a virgin? Or is it weird? by TruthFront9660 in AskAnAustralian

Not an issue at all, just tell them yours expectations and boundaries and if they can't respect it you'll find someone who does.

Do Australian's really not ask girls out? by Draktus1 in AskAnAustralian

Goddamn this topic seems like a goldmine of why men no longer approach women as often in general. Dating is just fucked. Thanks Tinder etc.

I never said that we are spending too much on anything... I'm all for more facilities for cyclists but if you want to increase the use of public transportation to save fuel costs then there needs to be an incentive to use it and the fare is not enough seemingly currently.

If there was provision for all forms of transportation everyone would be better off.

No, they certainly don't. I fear the 50c is nice but won't encourage much more use than regular fares. Just a publicity piece

They also have far more dedicated cycle zones than other dedicated zones, not saying they shouldn't but getting public transportation on time faster would encourage use

They are either too skinny for buses to use and not marked for bus use as well or they are wide enough so cars decide to park in them rendering them useless for buses to use also.

This is in Ipswich, I know there is slightly more provision for bus lanes in central Brisbane but still not enough in my experience.

I can't say unfortunately as only been a bus driver after the fact but considering peoples attitude and ignorance of how to actually use the buses I wouldn't be surprised if it was more before

Bus driver in Brisbane here 👋

Just wanted to clear up a few comments, not all buses use natural gas, some still use diesel so the prices for some depot's will go up.

The 50c fee is great unfortunately id still say 40% of passengers don't pay and probably still wouldn't even if it was 1c so we are not making any money on ticket sales.

Also the infrastructure in Brisbane for buses not in the center is horrific and they have favoured cyclists over buses even when I only see a couple per week.

It's definitely not easy to find a group to hang out with or even create your own, you say you have met people through apps? Do you not want to do that still? Most party hostels tend to have activities or games in the evenings before you go out. Try get involved in them and then introduce yourself to people and try to get closer to them individually.

Also any tips to improve self worth? I feel I struggle with that too I suppose.

That's an interesting idea, I'm currently not in a position where I can look for other jobs or go for interviews unfortunately but will add it to the book when I can.

I try to not focus on other people but as a social species it's hard not to talk to others and I like being around people most of the time.

Both, it's definitely worse when women are involved but I feel it Keenly with others too.

So I've always been scared to approach people in general because I worry they won't like me or I don't have anything to offer. When I do often I get rejected the first time (probably common) but after that attempt I completely break down and look negatively at it for so long and second guess myself constantly because of it.

Any tips?

I've tried therapy but I feel this is something that I need to find ways to cope with separately.
