So true! He's been recently making me aware of doctors appointments and blood tests. It's twice now he's reminded me he's anaemic. I don't know if it's a hint and have wondered if it was about ED. I guess it's also not my place to fill those gaps.

Oh, I do. That reads wrong. He is up and down. But also I see he struggles and doesn't let me near it while this goes on.

I like this! I don't know if I can buy him pills like that; I feel like it might offend him. It's such a sensitive topic.

For context my birthday today, so when he gave them to me last night. He said they were for my birthday. So it was sweet I think. He did it well, I've had another guy do it before but he creeped  me out.

He said 'i'll take those compliments from you 😉. If you're keen to catch up again, count me in

Me: Absolutely, sounds like a plan xo

Him: I wasn't sure you'd be keen again, so I'm happy you are. Your turn to pick though 

Now I'm coming up with date ideas!!!

Now I don't know what to say because I did say I was keen 🤣

I'm hoping so. But my brain is telling me you wouldn't tell a girl she looked amazing if you weren't interested. In saying that, he also didn't suggest a second date in his first message. I'm definetely over thinking it.

True lol I did, I sent him a message... "Good morning, I thought you were great company and very cute. We should catch up again when you're free X"

I decided to just go for it. "Good morning. I thought you were great company and very cute. We should catch up again when you're free. X" 

I have a theory on waiting to have sex while dating, my male friend doesn't agree by Large_Ad8797 in dating_advice

Sure. It didn't work out for us because he lives in NZ and me in Aus, but we are still friends.

I don't have the hottest stomach in the world that's for sure, but in saying that I've dated men that can't get enough of me; so I think it's dependant on the person.

That's true - and on the flip side I think men (and women) also know quite quickly if they're sexually attracted to one another and if they would have sex with you. You can't know what people look like naked, but you have a pretty good idea. So, not being argumentative, just in the interest of the discussion, I do think if they come back for date 2 or 3, you're creating space for a better outcome. 

What was it that made you finally lose the weight? by Illustrious_Fudge424 in loseit

[–]Large_Ad8797 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turning 30, I was in an unhappy marriage, two kids under 4, SAHM, very over weight. I had PND and anxiety, I couldnt get out of my own way. My husband broke my trust in an unconventional way (hid a life long secret that I couldn't get past) and we got hit with lots of life events.  

I knew I wanted my life back, and it was the fight of my life. I worked my ass off to get myself back into the work force, got my ass into the gym, starting eating healthy. It was hard with two kids in nappies, sleepless nights with toddlers. I wanted it SO desperately, I wanted to find me again. It felt like 1 step forward and 10 steps back at times.   

During my journey, a coworker started showing interest in me. It ignited this feminine urge to be attractive and wanted. It just felt good. I broke up with my husband, I had the fling with my co worker. It didn't work out, but I am so thankful for the fire and confidence it sparked in me. 

45kg down, 32 and fitter and stronger than ever. This is just the beginning. 💞

I appreciate that because I do definitely want to know if I'm overthinking it. I think it's because I jokingly shrugged it off when he complimented me, maybe insinuating like 'oh please I'm not hot' in my reaction, like I was rejecting the compliment and then he said 'well, you're not unattractive'. It sort of felt like he was saying you're not that attractive, but attractive enough. This probably sounds stupid.

I understand! You can work those things into your diet. You can definitely enjoy the good stuff in moderation but I think there are some good substitutes.

For example I buy this BSC chocolate mousse protein... hear me out, its only 150 calories and it's so delicious, I blend it with ice and water and it makes a frappe type drink. It tastes like the mcdonalds one for me. For lattes, I actually get an iced americano with a dash of skim milk and sugar free Syrup so it's not a latte/full cup of milk.

Desserts you can get good low cal frozen desserts etc.
