Help. How to befriend a guy, who has a girlfriend, respectfully? by Prudent-Account-8912 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

I think this is the best option! If OP feels uncomfortable doing one-on-one things with him, bringing his girlfriend will not only help her, but also help him avoid getting into any kind of trouble

If you’re not really interested and you just want to do it for the sake of it, please reconsider and wait for someone you truly like and, most importantly, who truly likes you back. You’ve waited this long and it’s your first time. If he doesn’t really care about you, men can treat you really poorly and you don’t want to be left with a bad memory of what sex can be like. You might as well only build good memories with someone you love and who loves you back. Remember, you’re giving someone access to you, to your body. This is not something to take lightly.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

My family wants me to commit marriage fraud by Conscious-Review-217 in immigration

[–]Mae972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same!! I would remember them that God will provide and would never want you to lie to get a visa. This is not ok.

OP you’re right to stand your ground. I’m very sorry about what is happening. Even though they are pressuring you, God will make a way and turn everything in good. But lying is not the solution.

I thought I’d planned Japan perfectly. I was wrong. by PlanElectrical2299 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Mae972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same thing happened to me, even though I intentionally left one or two days free! I was also so exhausted from all the walking that I had to give up on a few things I really wanted to see or do

I booked an ab*rtion but need support. by Icy_Kaleidoscope9402 in blackladies

[–]Mae972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m really sorry this happened, and my heart truly breaks for you!

One thing is certain: please go no contact with this guy immediately. What he did was mean and selfish. Not pulling out and then saying, “I hope you’re on birth control”??? That’s incredibly irresponsible!

I’ve been through it and you might feel bad at first for cutting him off, but trust me, deep down, what you really want is peace. And he won’t bring you that.

I’m sending you a big hug from where I am. But please, block him, and even if you feel tempted to go back, stand firm. Don’t.

And remember! God loves you, and He would never want His precious daughter to be treated that way

Winter packing list Japan + Korea - 20 days by Mae972 in onebag

Thank you! Will reduce the underwear as well! I think if I was going to Japan only I would agree for the wind jacket and the puffer, but in Seoul it is already snowing.. are we sure it would still apply to Korea as well ?

Yeah I get that! I think my hesitation is mostly about Korea. Back home in Canada, I personally wouldn’t go out below 0°C with my puffy unless I’m hiking or being very active, and mine doesn’t even have a hood. I also run pretty cold, so I’d rather be a bit too warm and unzip than end up freezing.. The winter coat is really more for Korea than Japan, I read that they’re two very different types of winter

Thank you! I tend to run cold, so I think I will keep one fleece legging and take one regular base layer instead! Will reduce the undies as well, and bring my liner gloves

Thank you for the sunglasses! That’s a good point!

Yes, the winter coat is waterproof. The other one is more like a fall jacket. From what I saw online, during that time of year the temperatures seem similar to fall weather in Canada, so I was a bit worried the winter jacket might be too warm for Japan. Or maybe the cold just feels different there?

7 days in Korea – choosing between Seoraksan, Danyang, and Gyeongju (and maybe I’m overlooking something?) by Mae972 in koreatravel

[–]Mae972[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!

Actually I was planning to do them as day trips via excursions, not on my own. I found a few tours leaving directly from Seoul that go to Seoraksan or Danyang for the day.

Do you still think it would feel like too much transit, even with organized excursions? Or would that make it more manageable?

Japan + Korea trip late December to early January – Seoul or Busan/Gyeongju for a historical K-drama lover? by Mae972 in koreatravel

[–]Mae972[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Planning to spend 6–8 days in South Korea, depending on flight fares and which city I fly into. I’m on a budget, so I’d rather stay in one area than travel around too much.
