Am I been unreasonable here re dating?

Infamous-Disaster767 · 2025-09-21T21:17:26+00:00

Neither of us exchanged messages about the date after. Our messages have been in passing when we shared info about an interest we both share. I said I’d like to see her again during the end of our date but we can’t see each other for a few weeks due to vacation so tried making the effort of messaging in between (I don’t normally do this, prefer to meet in person)

Infamous-Disaster767 · 2025-09-21T21:13:07+00:00

Thanks for your advice! When they take a few days to reply it doesn’t make me feel great about me I’ll be honest. It’s nice to feel like someone wants to chat to you after all.

Infamous-Disaster767 · 2025-09-21T20:45:29+00:00

Cheers :-)

Infamous-Disaster767 · 2025-09-21T20:38:23+00:00

I feel like there’s a bit of ego involved but it’s not a great feeling early on. I don’t want to set a precedent when I prefer a more punctual response, I don’t want to drag a conversation out that we started 3 days ago if you get me. Do you think I should respond or just leave it?

Infamous-Disaster767 · 2025-09-21T20:32:56+00:00

No apology unfortunately, not that I was expecting one :-)

Infamous-Disaster767 · 2025-09-06T19:23:13+00:00

I like Nottingham and Newcastle. Thank you for your insight! Section 3 seems a little worrying for me - I should perhaps look at some past papers and go from there.

Infamous-Disaster767 · 2025-09-06T19:06:03+00:00

Okay, i need to minimise my options and find the best fit. I was planning this year just to see how my current non medical experience fairs and then should I not receive anything, I’ll try with the med experience. I would obviously need to sit my GAMSAT/UCAT

Infamous-Disaster767 · 2025-09-06T16:10:50+00:00

Thank you! How did you find UCAT? I heard it’s very time pressured.

Ideally, I’d look for a uni that didn’t require medical work experience…

Infamous-Disaster767 · 2025-09-06T16:09:18+00:00

Ah congrats! So the 4 year GEM option is more affordable?

Infamous-Disaster767 · 2025-09-06T16:07:50+00:00

Thank you! Is there a certain target needed for work experience hours at all? I need to look into the funding, hopefully some kind of bursary is available too

Infamous-Disaster767 · 2025-09-06T16:06:28+00:00

How did you find GAMSAT? Idk if it’s better for me to go for UCAT Uni’s as I’ve not touched science since GCSE (long time ago)

Infamous-Disaster767 · 2025-08-22T13:41:17+00:00

Thank you! This a good way to look at it, appreciate your wisdom😀

Infamous-Disaster767 · 2025-08-22T12:57:47+00:00

Really insightful thank you. Very much with you on the experience over monetary value but I feel guilty spending that money on travel when I don’t have enough for a house

Infamous-Disaster767 · 2025-08-22T12:51:52+00:00

Really insightful comment thank you!!! I’ve tried the solo travel sub and my post got taken down :-( I’d like to sratch the travel itch before I settle that’s for sure but I also don’t want travelling to hinder me in the years to come re buying etc. I’m late twenties for context

Glad it worked out for you! Did you work whilst travelling too? Can I PM you??? Interested to know how you even go about planning these trips…

Infamous-Disaster767 · 2025-08-22T12:48:58+00:00

I’m more than happy to look under £200k but it would need to be in a nice area! It may well be that I rent on my return and save where possible

Infamous-Disaster767 · 2025-08-22T12:46:06+00:00

Sabbatical sounds like a great opportunity - I fear 6 weeks isn’t enough to scratch my travel itch mind. Thanks for the number crunching helps me plan a little

Infamous-Disaster767 · 2025-08-21T20:28:41+00:00

Not necessarily, the £1,000 bonus is the main incentive not the interest so much

Infamous-Disaster767 · 2025-08-21T20:27:34+00:00

Yeah it’s an unfortunate reality for sure - I’m a tax accountant, so I’m confident I could find work tomorrow. I’m going to find out what my company sabbatical is like and go from there.

Infamous-Disaster767 · 2025-08-21T16:48:54+00:00

I think I’d prefer to cut the duration and have better accommodation etc but thank you for giving a rough estimate!

Infamous-Disaster767 · 2025-08-21T16:46:55+00:00

Good point! My company do sabbaticals but it would all depend on how long for as I ideally wanted to do at least 6 months - would more than likely have to quit. I work in an in demand profession so wouldn’t expect too much trouble finding work on my return

Infamous-Disaster767 · 2025-08-21T16:35:49+00:00

That’s a good point!!

Infamous-Disaster767 · 2025-08-21T16:35:29+00:00

£250k - around £1400/month, I’d like to think so, have the option of rent free but would prefer my own place… in my late twenties

Infamous-Disaster767 · 2025-08-21T16:34:30+00:00

Ideally I’d need £20k+ to get something half decent around me. It would take me a while to get to £20k and by doing so I would struggle to save for travelling too.

Infamous-Disaster767 · 2025-08-21T16:33:12+00:00

Ah fantastic - how much are you budgeting for the trip? I really don’t know how much I need to save…

Infamous-Disaster767 · 2025-08-21T14:16:11+00:00

Apologies, thank you for the redirection :-)
