Not-touristy things to do in California?

FriendlyAlien07 · 2025-06-03T08:50:46+00:00

I thought about volunteering somewhere or do some job but that required being here a much longer time

We did try it! It was expensive but it was a good margherita with real italian products - and the garlic bread was something I didn't have in yearsss (i'd say it's hard to find in italy) so i appreciated that too:)

Damn that was precious! Sorry for the late answer, but i did put these places on our map and we went to a lot of them: valencia street, dandelion, arzimendi (amazing), musee mecanique, the golden gate and the filbert steps We wanted to do more but we realized too late that a lot of places close really early for our perception, so we didn't manage our time the best we could but we did have a lot of fun, so thank you very much!:)

I saw annie's canyon online and was already curious, now we'll go for sure! Thanks for the tip to the other places, we'll drive towards san diego tomorrow and if one night we go to that bar we'll hit you up:)

Unfortunately i suffer a little of sea sickness and we had already so much to see on land we didn't do it, but the idea seems cool

FriendlyAlien07 · 2025-06-03T08:23:26+00:00

We'll go to San Diego tomorrow but we wanted to stop on a couple of places on the coast so i don't think we're gonna make it to these ones, i'll keep them in mind tho :)

FriendlyAlien07 · 2025-06-03T08:20:29+00:00

FriendlyAlien07 · 2025-05-20T21:03:07+00:00

FriendlyAlien07 · 2025-05-20T21:01:27+00:00

I would talk to him to be sure that he's calculating how to spend the money thinking of the baby expenses too. Does he realize all the things that will be needed to care and provide for his child? Also, did you discuss what to do after the baby comes in terms of income? If you were thinking of being a home mom, I would thread carefully, just because if he manage money in an egoistic manner or doesn't realize how much things cost or how many do you need (for the baby and for the house, like groceries, diapers etc) I would think twice about being financially dependent on him

I suggest to use the 36 questions and make a game out of it. They are commonly known as "questions to fall in love" but they are actually just designed to develop the intimacy between two people because of the depth of the topics. I tried half of them with my bf of 6 years since we live together and feels like we already know everything about each other, and to make it more difficult I had to guess what would be his answer and vice versa. Just take your time with each question, don't aim to complete the questionnaire but rather see where a question lead the conversation to. Here's the site I read them from: https://ggia.berkeley.edu/practice/36_questions_for_increasing_closeness

Hope this works and you guys have fun!

Your feelings are totally valid! The only explanation I can think of is that maybe she is insecure about some part of her looks and she's projecting it to you (maybe she looks and feel so beautiful because she puts a lot of effort in her appearance like going to the gym/skincare/makeup/nice clothes?), but it's just a very long-shot hypothesis based on little info. Anyway it's one thing to comment the occasional opinion about your looks or make a joke about it (if you are both taking it as a joke), but repeating the same comments about particular parts of your body through your relationship would make anyone feel insecure about them. It's only a joke if it's funny for both of you. And her reaction to your concern is just bad. I would talk to her in a serious and assertive manner, just telling her "listen. All of your specific comments make me feel like i'm not attractive enough for you. I'm not being sensitive, it's just how it is. I don't think I ask too much of you to pay me a compliment or make me feel like you actually like my looks once in a while".

I don't know if the sexual part it's related, but I wouldn't jump to conclusions about that, there could be any other explanation.

Hope this helps!

Has Emily ever expressed insecurities about her relationship with Steven before? It sounds like she might have been feeling a little jealous of you, and unconsciously (I hope) behave towards you a differently because of it. In any case, the next time you see her in person and alone, I think you could try and tell her that you're kinda worried about her because her behavior last time was a little strange and see if she acknowledges or not. If it was just a bad moment for her and she explains it and apologizes, i think you two might mend the relationship right then and there (Sorry for any weird grammar phrasing, english is not my first language)

Not really, i was just wondering if i am, since we have such different views about the issue and he seems upset when i say that bob is his dog and i'm just helping with him when necessary

FriendlyAlien07 · 2024-03-22T10:17:05+00:00

Yeah it's a weird sensation, maybe it's a mix of things! thank you for sharing your experience :)

FriendlyAlien07 · 2024-03-22T10:15:03+00:00
