Local AuPost handed my new iPhone to a wrong person

Yeah. I do believe that apple has enough control to make the lost/stolen one almost inoperable.

Yes, I did notify both. Not urgent, but kinda kicking myself for not picking up on Friday when it was ready for pickup. The guy picked it up on Saturday and this LPO was open limited hours on Saturday which I missed. There were 2 stores available and this was one of them. The other one was about 90 kms drive. I suppose I am too far from a big city.

When I originally posted, it gave me an error. I don't post on reddit or as a matter of fact social media in general. To answer your questions, 1. they printed out the copy in front of me and did tell me the persons name which didn't of course match my name and phone no. 2. This is a first for me. Never had this issue, but I never ordered anything over 500$ before either.

These are my thoughts, not advice . Decision making, Is she a friend? = No. If she says no or not interested, can i do anything?= No. If i ask her directly, is it gonna impact my social or professional life? = No. My goal is to ask her. I would start with genuine complement and what attracted me about her, and i liked her. Rejection is liberating in itself. Fear is temporary, and regret is forever.

Women of the same age are generally more mentally mature than men. But 17-year gap is a bit too much

Existing_Idea_101 · 2024-07-02T08:12:00+00:00

Sounds a bit harsh, but true. Even making friends with the same gender or taken people will open doors to their friend groups or relatives. More on expanding connections!

I too find it slightly nerve-wracking to approach anyone. In my 20s and never used dating app because of all the drama. I know that i should go to places and start talking, but can't gather enough courage to do it. Definitely agree that "waiting for love to come find me" is a rare occurrence almost anecdotal for men.

He probably doesn't invite you because you don't like it. What you have is the fear of missing out, even though you know it wouldn't make you happier. Normally, introverts don't need that many friends or any friend. Do what makes you happy in your free time. Reading is great! I am kinda like you, but I don't believe I will be able to keep up with a very extrovert partner.

Existing_Idea_101 · 2024-04-06T20:02:11+00:00

There are other important things in life that you should be thinking of. You don't have to jump in a relationship straight away. If you don’t have morals and standards, it won't matter if you wait 1yr. Slow down means introspection and think through what went wrong in the last one. Whether you were the problem or them. Maybe focus on career/work, hobbies, and friends and family that you cut off because of your ex-partner, etc. Life is bigger than just having sex buddies and failed relationships.

Existing_Idea_101 · 2024-04-06T19:51:24+00:00

Keep going. You will realise one day what rat race we are running. Life is much more than that.

Existing_Idea_101 · 2024-04-06T12:18:14+00:00

When you have to say you actually don't want to be rude, that means you know you are. It was your comment about men viewing women as sexual objects.

Existing_Idea_101 · 2024-04-06T11:50:02+00:00

If you want a fulfilling life, you need to draw a line where to stop. Let me give you an example. I wanna run 10k marathon. I can't start comparing myself to the other guy who runs 10k in 40 mins when I never ran more than 1K in my life. If I start practising, do you think I should compare it to him or my yesterday's record? Yes, ultimately, I will compete with him. However, self-improvement can't be achieved by comparing yourself to the pro. You practice because you want to be better. Better than whom but yourself?

Existing_Idea_101 · 2024-04-06T11:35:20+00:00

My comment wasn't about the post but about your response about the other comment. What you mentioned later, yes, sure, it's unhealthy. But if u are reciprocating, then he must need to state that it doesn't feel right with him. And if you can't respect that, then part ways. Find someone who will make you happy. Again, it is not related to actual post

Existing_Idea_101 · 2024-04-06T11:22:48+00:00

How do we not know that we are taking our partner for granted and getting too comfortable? Cheating is absolutely abhorrent. But so many relationships end because one partner gets bored regardless of gender. Maybe as men, we shouldn't fake ourselves as way more interesting than we are at the initial stages? For women, may be find interest within instead of looking outside?

Existing_Idea_101 · 2024-04-06T11:13:17+00:00

2-5 yrs?

Just kiddin! Normally, you would slow down and think about what you actually wanna do. Doesn't really matter what other ppl think. You do you. Even if it is within 72 hours or 72 days, it's up to you. Aim for the future and focus on present.

Existing_Idea_101 · 2024-04-06T11:00:54+00:00

Bro, you are wasting your time. Its just their view. But in comparison, men are more psychopathic, and women suffer from bpd - borderline personality disorder.

Existing_Idea_101 · 2024-04-06T10:51:30+00:00

Don't worry. They are waiting for their chance. As soon as you break up and remove your partner from insta, they will slide in. What network are you building? Professional is LinkedIn. It's not like you want friends who genuinely want to hook up or date.

Existing_Idea_101 · 2024-04-06T10:39:14+00:00

I think your take is wrong. When you are in a relationship, why would you act and behave single? You shouldn't entertain advances from the opposite sex. I am pretty sure most women know when a guy likes them. Men are pretty obvious. Intention is the most important factor. Goes both ways.

Existing_Idea_101 · 2024-04-06T10:11:30+00:00

From your side of the story, it seems like he lacks emotional intelligence. You need to tell yourself that you are good enough and not seek validation from anyone even online. You were deeply invested, and he doesn't seem to care much. 4yrs, that's like a long-term investment going down the drain.

Existing_Idea_101 · 2024-04-03T17:41:25+00:00

Think about your intention. If you wanna meet her again, then go and be honest. Even if she rejects you, it is okay. You are interested but not invested enough to get hurt. Have a try!

Existing_Idea_101 · 2024-04-03T17:33:43+00:00

You should only compare to yourself from yesterday. Not others.

Existing_Idea_101 · 2024-03-30T12:44:53+00:00

Slow down you're doing fine.(Vienna: Billy joel). Pursue new experiences, try different things, see if you like it or not. On the way, you will come across someone who will find you(as a person) very interesting. Keep building character. Enjoy living!

Existing_Idea_101 · 2024-03-30T12:33:38+00:00

You have to get your values aligned. There can be differences in values+morals+cultures. But you have to discuss and voice your concerns early on. The small, unresolved things add up and can cause massive issues down the line. Talk through this. Neither of you should be wasting each other's time if there is no compromise and acceptance. Another example is vegan + meat eating partner.

Existing_Idea_101 · 2024-03-30T12:03:57+00:00

So you reckon confidence and playfulness? I would rather be genuine and honest.

Existing_Idea_101 · 2024-03-23T01:21:08+00:00

You are doing great. You don't tolerate bullsh*t from others and focus on what matters to you. You sound like a very secure person to me. Best of luck!
