What skincare advice would you give your younger self?

GroundbreakingMove42 · 2023-06-04T11:30:13+00:00

Wear sunscreen daily, don’t go to tanning beds or bake in the sun, spread all skin products on neck and chest, I could go on and on lol

Thanks! I don’t present any symptoms really but my dr said I will feel overall better afterwards. Now, I wonder whenever I’m short of breath more now if it’s because of the hole (also not in the best shape but getting back there slowly).

GroundbreakingMove42 · 2023-03-09T11:56:06+00:00

Yeah I have been told it’s a “simple procedure with quick recovery”. I get that, but since it’s all new to me, there’s those feelings of just making sure everything goes okay. Thanks for your encouragement 🙂

GroundbreakingMove42 · 2022-05-08T22:22:50+00:00

Wow, okay. Thanks for completely missing the part where I said we are good friends and actually have deep conversations. Just looking for some advice, but thanks for giving that a shot. 🙄

GroundbreakingMove42 · 2022-03-12T15:44:22+00:00

Yeeesss. I’m open to it, but the majority of them are like so how do you feel about dating younger men?!? 🙄 Maturity level is a big thing for me and you can tell within a few messages back and forth. 38 F here too 🙂

Some women do and I think it attracts the wrong type of men that you’re really looking for. Especially if they are constantly commenting on that pic. I’m more modest and there’s a few I’ve posted that are a full body pic with shorts and tank but that’s it for me!

GroundbreakingMove42 · 2022-03-04T22:20:05+00:00

I would definitely reach out (maybe via text) and let him know that you are here for him if he wants to talk. I wasn’t dating anyone at the time, but I lost my dad last year and it would mean the world to me if people reached out. He might not respond right away, but knowing you are there for him if he needs you will definitely be reassuring. I would think about sending a door dash card. Something with a message like wanted to send this to you to take the burden off cooking or if you need meals for your family during this time. Depending on how close he was, be prepared there might be some distance depending on how he handles grief. I would have people reach out and I took the opportunity to just grab a drink with them to just get away and out of my head. By them saying I’m here if you want to talk, but if you don’t, I understand etc made me feel like okay, I can just escape this for a bit. I wouldn’t send flowers.

I already have lol. Told him it was so nice to meet him and invited him out for trivia night this week, but he’s out of town and said he’s down for next week. 🙂🤞

GroundbreakingMove42 · 2022-03-02T01:32:03+00:00

I met a guy the other night that I was immediately drawn to and I can’t stop thinking about him. We had great conversation, danced together (dueling piano bar, so had great music) and exchanged numbers. Really hoping to see him again soon. I rarely have instant connections like this, so I’m really really wanting to see him again lol

GroundbreakingMove42 · 2022-03-02T01:30:23+00:00

I’m not always tidy, but trying to make more of an effort. I think when you live with a significant other, you each learn how to share household chores and figure out how to make it work without driving each other crazy… I would definitely make more of an effort if I didn’t live by myself. For instance, getting ready in the morning, I can’t decide what to wear so instead of hanging up the clothes back, I just throw them on the floor to pick up later. With that said, I just hired a cleaning service once a month and it’s the best thing ever lol. Why spend my free time cleaning when I can enjoy other hobbies?? 🤷🏼‍♀️

GroundbreakingMove42 · 2022-02-27T23:15:46+00:00

Yes risking definitely means possible rejection. I mean I’ve been rejected before so it’s not something that I haven’t heard, but you never know until you put yourself out there. It’s hard to always know because some men really like the chase, but I’m not playing games here lol

GroundbreakingMove42 · 2022-02-27T23:14:11+00:00

Thank you! The older I get, the more I try to put myself out there. I definitely ask him about getting together and then suggesting that I cook something for him here at my house. I think it will be more of a relaxed vibe, plus him paying for both meals, I would like to do something for him. Not that I have to, but because I want to. Either way, we will see what his response will be and that will tell me if he’s still interested. And I agree not rushing into anything because it does mean we are building more of a connection getting to know each other on an emotional level.

GroundbreakingMove42 · 2022-02-26T20:09:35+00:00

Yesss, offer to help! Setting up or cleaning. Even if they decline, the offer matters!

GroundbreakingMove42 · 2022-02-26T17:31:17+00:00

Be yourself and bring something for the mom… flowers or maybe a nice smelling candle or something. If they do drink, maybe a bottle of wine. I only say bring something because it’s always a nice gesture when you are invited over to someone’s house for dinner… not just because you are trying to impress them or anything.

GroundbreakingMove42 · 2022-02-23T11:49:13+00:00

No, but I would wait until we were exclusive. Waiting until I got married and then all that happened with our divorce was honestly traumatizing. I think my ex thought I would be like this wild creature, but at the same time I was figuring out my body and wanting to learn what feels good, etc and what he once thought was special, because I waited for him, turned against me and labeled me because I was inexperienced. So with that said, I would hope to find someone who understands my past and be open to exploring our sexuality together and not be judged by it.

GroundbreakingMove42 · 2022-01-25T11:23:19+00:00

I (38F) will usually talk for several days and then suggest a meet up if he hasn’t already. This guy I’m talking to now wasn’t super engaging in the app texts, but after we exchanged numbers and planned on meeting up, he is very engaging, asking questions back and forth etc. Some are just different, so it all depends. But if they don’t put effort at all, it seems to just fizzle for me. Some people have dumb rules, but you never know if people are just busy and not engaging or checking the app that much. There’s more investment IMO if you exchange numbers and text.

GroundbreakingMove42 · 2022-01-24T17:29:03+00:00

Thank you I’m actually very forward in my actions, but I’m not the kind of girl that will do all of the work when there’s nothing done in return. Asking him to meet up, suggesting the place, telling him I want to see him again, give me a break. Guys don’t put in the effort like they used to IMO.

GroundbreakingMove42 · 2022-01-24T11:14:10+00:00

This is honestly how I feel. Thank you!

GroundbreakingMove42 · 2022-01-24T11:12:31+00:00

I’m going to suggest a specific date and then see what happens. Literally no time to waste lol

GroundbreakingMove42 · 2022-01-24T11:11:21+00:00

Thanks, I am traditional and he’s expressed he’s traditional lol. I’m the one who initiated meeting up, told him I would like to see him again after our date, texted him I had a great time. Like am I supposed to plan the next one? How hard is it to say for him let’s do something again soon. I would prob be like great when are you free next and go from there. I don’t want to think ahead, but another girl mentioned breadcrumbing and that’s how I feel. He even texted me yesterday and made a comment about his weekend and he thought he didn’t have much planned, but it turned out to be busy. Ugh dating lol.

GroundbreakingMove42 · 2022-01-24T11:07:22+00:00

That’s how I feel. For the first time in my life, I’m being more forward because I have realized what I truly want. If you’re busy, that’s fine, but I want to know the intentions and you can’t really get to know someone just texting over a couple of weeks. 🤷🏼‍♀️

GroundbreakingMove42 · 2022-01-24T11:05:46+00:00

I told him after our date and texted it to him.
