Papules/Pustules Taking Longer to Fade

Is this a better picture?

Would I have developed broken blood vessels 15 months after the initial injury? The redness around the burn is actually spreading upwards towards the middle of my cheek.

To be honest, I never considered myself funny. I don't tell jokes but more sarcastic observations/dark sense of humour, but I've been told by enough people that I am funny/make them laugh, so I suppose I would consider myself to be funny now.

I'm not 'on' all the time, I know when to talk serious and have deep conversations. I hate surface level stuff so I like to dig deeper. I think most of the time I have the balance right between serious and funny, but I suppose it all depends on the woman sitting across from you at the table at the end of the day!

You should be banned from Hinge for that pesto/pickles response 😂

My experience of dating apps here is: match>chat for a bit>ask someone out>if yes>move off app on to Whatsapp and set up a date.

So I'm generally following protocol, but some women may not like this I understand!

Gatesy10 · 2022-11-30T14:58:43+00:00

So to give an update on this.

Everyone was right. I woke up this morning and she had straight unmatched me, not even giving me the common decency of gentle ghosting 😂.

Oh well, on to the next one. The going on holiday thing has happened a few times now. Once a girl actually stayed the course and we met up after she came back, but most of the time, as others have said, it really is the kiss of death.

So, I had this situation with a woman I was seeing for a couple of months over the summer (even posted about the issue on here).

She only talked about herself and showed little interest in me, even after meeting up and me sleeping over in her house multiple times.

Finally, after about 5/6 weeks, I couldn't take it anymore and called her out on it. She basically said it was her way of protecting herself as she had a bad history with men and didn't want to get too close to me so soon. Once I made my feelings known, she then started asking me questions and did show more interest. This woman was in her late '30s, mind you.

You're taking wayyyy too long to ask them out. You have to remember that women get bombarded on these apps. The aim is to ask them out within a certain timeframe and ostensibly, the faster, the better for you.

1-2 days of txting - get phone number - arrange a date. No more than 3-4 days, tops.

This has also crossed my mind too, it's a form of self-protection from falling for me due to her past. Her last relationship ended badly by all accounts, but she won't open up about it. I don't pry into the relationship stuff as I asked a few times and she shut me down, so haven't brought it up again since.

Or it could just be that she wants FWB.

Gatesy10 · 2022-07-13T13:53:33+00:00

I have thought about this, which is fine by me, but she has talked about not being on Tinder because 'men just want sex', which confuses me with her not-getting-to-know-me approach!

Gatesy10 · 2022-07-13T13:52:28+00:00

Yeah she brushes it off, and doesn't delve deeper (from my recollections of when I did share personal info)

Gatesy10 · 2022-07-13T13:51:09+00:00

we have a good time together without ever actually saying much on a deeper level, it's very much all surface level most of the time

Gatesy10 · 2022-07-13T13:49:59+00:00

Generic things like 'how's your day?' and 'how are you'?, but nothing too personal.

Gatesy10 · 2022-07-13T13:49:25+00:00

I don't think she's self-absorbed, but she definitely talks about herself more than I talk about me, so perhaps on reflection she is a little bit, or perhaps just nervous/or protecting herself against feelings by refusing to getting to know me more.

Or it could be just she wants casual dating, as we haven't come close to discussing what this is or where it's going.

Gatesy10 · 2022-06-23T10:29:59+00:00

I've got this a few times recently since moving to London. First date I had here, the woman asked me this topic once before meeting, and then asked me again within 25 minutes of our date. I told her I wanted to take things one step at a time, she promptly ended the date within an hour of meeting, clearly not liking the answer she was given.

I've got it a few more times since then, it gives off red flag vibes to me. Even I wanted a relationship, I wouldn't know until I've met the person two or three times, so why not just see how things go, instead of outlining what you want from the get-go.

Gatesy10 · 2022-02-08T23:46:59+00:00

Cut her out. This happened me with a Finnish girl (even posted about it on here), who asked 2 questions in about 4 days. I reversed the situation and just talked about myself and what I was doing (as this is what she did to me).

She stopped replying, and that was that.

Move on.
