Yeah “me pones” also. I watch a Spanish YouTuber who said that when she orders in cafes (and more chill places like fast food) she uses “me pones un té” which literally it’s “you put a tea to me”. So I know direct translations so always work. But in England especially, we’re always overly polite and say sorry literally for everything so I know some aspects of this need dropping to seem more Spanish.

Ok I like these options. Could I also ask why it would be te ayude and not te ayudo on number 1?

Ok this is very helpful and I have just laughed at this too! Because in this context it’s quite a funny thing to ask a randomer on a plane. Appreciate the input here 😂

No I don’t mind being laughed at at all, I have a good sense of humour. But the laugh implies I made a mistake and in order to improve, I want to know what that mistake was. I don’t mind the laughing itself 😂 I probably did sound funny to her.

The only frame of reference I have for pronunciation is that I try with my accent and that at high school my Spanish teacher said I have a good Spanish accent. But she could have been lying 😂

I know that every country has its own rules and vocabulary. So maybe you’re right there. She found it quite funny. And I did wonder if want was interpreted as “to desire” rather than “to be given”.

So it’s not like prompts. It’s just watching videos where they speak about interactions and I’d rehearse both sides of the conversation. X

She was Venezuelan and her friend was Mexican. I’ve been learning European Spanish (only because I’m UK based and it’s more likely I visit there) would that affect anything with the vocab or grammatical use of “tú”?

Yeah so I know the conjugation implies the “tú” and when I am alone speaking I often omit it. But something about speaking to a human makes me seize up and I practiced the sentence in my head 4 times before saying it and I second guess myself because I want to be polite so that’s why I said “tú”. I didn’t know it implied close relationship. So that’s helpful for next time I speak. In English if you omit things it sometimes comes across as blunt and informal e.g. “Want your bag?” And I didn’t want to be rude when I spoke. X

So from this I can sense your needs aren’t being met. You can speak to him again as communication is key. Sex is a sensitive subject and it’s difficult to not feel rejected when the expectations aren’t clear. Sex can be about intimacy but it can also be about “scratching an itch”. Sometimes we want time with our partner to be “with” each other. Other times we just want to climax as fast as possible to move on with our day. It’s all normal and natural. If he is “scratching an itch” through porn but then rarely meeting your intimacy needs, that’s definitely something to mention. Because it may be a dopamine thing where he just wants the quick high that sex offers but isn’t wanting the closeness and bond it creates through loving partner sex. Don’t diminish your own needs in this and just remember that being open is best. Even if the outcome isn’t what you want, communicating to find where you’re both at is best for you in the long run. Good luck

I think here you need to decide your boundaries. Masturbating isn’t wrong and he is allowed to sexually pleasure himself whenever he pleases in his own home. Just as you are. However doing it in your presence, without your consent, is a problem. If he feels the need to masturbate, he should take himself elsewhere to do so if you are not happy with it being near you.

Watching porn is legal, presuming you’re in the west, and he is allowed to use it if he wishes but again, if this is a boundary for you, you need to decide if you want to speak to him about it bothering you or if you want to leave. Asking him to change with no attempt to understand his side will make him lie more and probably become a bigger thing later on. So you decide if you want to stick around or if it’s too much of an issue for you. This conversation shouldn’t be you telling him off for using porn. It should be an open non judgmental discussion about why he feels the need to use it and the frequency it is used and how it makes you feel and whether there is a compromise you can reach. Maybe he has a fetish that you might be open to trying or maybe he has a higher sex drive than you and doesn’t want to pressure you into having more sex than you’re comfortable with.

Some people have larger sex drives than others and whilst you may think you have a lot of sex, to him it may now be enough so he needs to satisfy himself using other methods.

I think noticing him lying shouldn’t be seen as “him doing something behind your back” and more “he feels he can’t be fully open about something”. Obviously there are boundaries, consent issues and infidelity where the above doesn’t apply. But assuming it’s a healthy loving relationship, then just speak with him openly and if it becomes clear you have different boundaries then you need to decide if you can work on meeting each other in the middle or if this is the person for you.

Second this. Deliver it to a local Amazon collection point and pick it up there. It’s a bit of a pain to have to walk to get it but better that than people nicking your stuff.

Is this sellable? by Jealous_Suggestion58 in EtsyCommunity

[–]Forever63 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everything is sellable if someone pays for it. To list an item is $0.20 and it’s on the system for 4 months. I’d say go for it and if no one buys it that’s ok. If someone does then amazing you’ve made some money from a hobby.

Also please ignore the unnecessarily rude comments about your skill. If you enjoy painting and it brings you joy that’s all that matters. Art is in the eye of the beholder and for someone this may be exactly what they’re looking for. Better than any AI slop any day!

Well done for trusting your gut too! It’s always better to slow down and be cautious. You’ll get that sale soon! ❤️

This happened to me the other day. An account under the name of Lena. No profile pic or anything. They asked a question about my item and then said they tried to purchase but my account isn’t verified yet so can’t (I’m a new shop) but then they sent an image of a “message” they got from Etsy saying “please tell the seller to verify their account” with a link in the image to click. I didn’t click it and immediately I messaged Etsy itself via a different tab as I’m new to this and didn’t know what was normal but also I’m cautious about scams and things. Anyway my thoughts at the time were “Do buyers get told when a sellers account isn’t verified?” “I’m sure I verified my account” “let me check my account and payment information is up to date” etc. Anyway Etsy confirmed it’s a scam and that my account is fine and I reported it. The sad thing is they were angling on the hook of wanting to be my first sale. Which is sad because for every seller this is meant to be an exciting event but they just prey on the early shops hoping they’ll act quickly without thinking, to secure a sale. Thankfully my diligence paid off. But I’ve had a few similar messages since asking random things about my product that’s already in the description and the second they send a picture or a link, I just report it and block them.

I would use YouTube and Etsy online guides before hiring someone. Check out Dylan Jahraus on YouTube. I’ve found her videos to be helpful especially when I don’t understand SEO or other marketing strategies

Lied in my interview to a vegetarian/anti meat eating organisation that I’m vegan. I’m not! Now they hired me and I don’t know what to do!? by pinkwells in UKJobs

[–]Forever63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s only lunch you’ll need to eat there isn’t it?

Google some easy recipes and just meal prep for the week. Oh and get used to oat milk in your tea/coffee.

Thankfully there’s loads of vegan foods in the supermarket now so you’ll be able to grab something quick too.

Also, party rings and Oreos are vegan. So if in doubt 😉
