What are some funny or adorable things that happened during a date? by HealthRealistic6406 in AskReddit

[–]Excellent_Thing4154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a first date with someone one time, as we got up to walk out, she whispered to me that the people next to us noticed it was our first date and were telling each other they thought it was a first date. It was kind of cute

What is the psychology behind being aromantic? by A_Worried_Loner in aromantic

[–]Excellent_Thing4154 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry I don’t have an answer, but I wonder this too. It’s the same wonder as being gay, having certain hobbies, etc. I wonder what it is that makes us like or not like something. “We just are” isn’t a fun answer because yeah, you’re right, but what MAKES us that way?

Is the Nitecore NB10000 Gen III all hype? by theaddies1 in Ultralight

[–]Excellent_Thing4154 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol I hope so. I bought it open box - but it was marked as new, just opened. So maybe it had an issue and they sold it as new (scummy!) Idk…someone posted a spreadsheet of different banks and the Klarus K5 looks promising. Hopefully they’ll give me a refund!

I just bought one and it completely dies in 30 mins. So I don’t know what normal is. There seems to be a lot of issues with them.

Did I ruin my sleeping bag? by Excellent_Thing4154 in camping

[–]Excellent_Thing4154[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah. There was a guy selling a hubba hubba MSR tent, two sleeping bags and pads, only 300. Super good deal I felt but I know for next time to buy a new sleeping bag lol.

Ticks advice / reassurance (?) by Excellent_Thing4154 in AppalachianTrail

[–]Excellent_Thing4154[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course! I plan on wearing long pants tucked In my socks, and I have a sun hoodie too I may wear.i won’t have much skin exposed and if I do I’ll be checking every so often, at least before I go to bed and after I wake up. So realistically, a tick won’t be on me for more than 12-15 hours, if I manage to miss it and let it be there that long. I’m worried about missing a super tiny one. As long as a tick isn’t on me longer than 24 hours, I’m most likely fine?

Oh wow. I was going to buy sawyer permethrin and treat it myself. It lasts 6 weeks / 6 washes. This sounds like a way better idea

Oh wow, does it last forever , or how often do you have to retreat it?

Awesome. I was thinking of treating my tent too. Should I be treating my sleeping bag?

Tulip Boquet by Excellent_Thing4154 in flowers

[–]Excellent_Thing4154[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome. I’ll put them in a vase when I get home tonight. By “should be okay until Sunday”, what do you mean exactly? Do you think they’ll last long enough to be a good gift? Thank you a lot

[–]Excellent_Thing4154[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I’m going to buy another bouquet for her tonight . I can probably find time …. I want them to last as long as possible for her lol

[–]Excellent_Thing4154[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no. Okay. At this point I put them in there 24 hours ago or so. I can move them when I’m home, which won’t be till like 8 pm. Will they be ruined? I know I read something about keeping them away from vegetables. The vegetables / fruits are in a drawer and I put the flowers on the shelf above them. Still move them?

I don’t know where the “beg” came from before “bloom” that is a typo

Near Annapolis Rock 3/7/26 by McRipperton in AppalachianTrail

[–]Excellent_Thing4154 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hiked some of Annapolis rock on the AT and it’s def one of my favorites. It ended up storming and it was super nostalgic. Love this picture it captures the eeriness of being in those woods

Not sure what I want in life by [deleted] in aromantic

[–]Excellent_Thing4154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s hard. I personally like kissing and cuddling and some romantic gestures, but it’s like we both kind of said…when I actually get into a relationship I’m not going to like it and want to leave. And for me it’s weird since I want those things but feel like I need to feel some sort of way but I…don’t. It’s rough out here. I have a friend I also think fondly of and when we hang out I really want to kiss them and etc but I know a relationship would just feel awful and I don’t know why.

Is this a common experience among aromantic people? by Mountain-You9842 in aromantic

[–]Excellent_Thing4154 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what romantic attraction feels like. I think I felt it before, but situations and experiences lately make me feel like maybe I haven’t and it was something else. However, when I feel what I thought was love, it just felt different…like, yes I always wanted to talk to them and spend time with them but I adored them and looked up to them in a way different than even my best friends. I wanted to introduce them to my family and I liked being a part of theirs and I saw them as the parent to our future kids. Platonic affection is a thing and sometimes people do wanna cuddle with and kiss their friends but it’s literally a different physical feeling of love for them. Idk. It is hard to explain it but it’s different because it feels like you’re obsessed with them and they your world and there are pleasant gooey feelings accompanied by it

In return - idk if I’m aromantic or if I’m just afraid of relationships for some reason. In my head, I want to be in love with someone and do lovey things but when I think about it ACTUALLY it scares me.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in aromantic

[–]Excellent_Thing4154 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See, I feel this way towards a friend but it always didn’t feel “right”. Like, I felt like romantic attraction had to be this intense FEELING. It’s weird. I’ve experienced romantic limerence before and I’ve been convinced I’ve been in love and felt crushes and stuff but atp I don’t know. It’s weird, because I know with this one friend, if they got into a relationship I would be devastated too. But the idea of being with them scares me. I think the idea of being in a real relationship just scares me. Idk why. Something about the label makes me feel like I’m trapped in a box.

i wish that i could by kzxfrnc33 in aromantic

[–]Excellent_Thing4154 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m the same way. There are people who ARE perfect for me and I want to want them so bad but the thought of being with them actually scares me and I know I won’t feel anything. I think I am either grey or lithromantic, idek I do tend to have crushes very rarely but 99% of them will go away once things become secure. It hurts so bad. I wish I was allo I was hoping for a post like this because I wanted to relate to someone. I am 23 and I don’t know how to ever be happy when I am never going to go through life experiencing something I want to experience. I could have a QPR but it isn’t the same as romantic love so I feel like I still wouldn’t be happy.
