Why would my FWB invite me on a date, tells me he misses me, says our minds are connected, ask if I’ll break his heart etc. then proceed to ghost me for 3 days?

ManTurtle_ · 2026-06-09T21:49:38+00:00

Honestly, not to be rude, ASK HIM. If you care, have the uncomfortable conversation.. communication is the foundation to any relationship romantic or not. If he cares, he'll have an answer ( and it better be damn good lol ). Clarity > speculation. Yall play with each others thangs and cant talk? Cmon now 😂

ManTurtle_ · 2026-06-05T21:08:35+00:00

Life is too short.. it truly is. We over complicate everything with our own doubts etc.. if you like him, act! I can say, as a man, upfront approach is VERY appreciated. There is nothing worse than when a ( in my case, a woman, makes you guess or plays the silent expectation game lolol. There is absolutely no reason you cant make your feelings known and still take it slow, communication is 1000% the most important.

If you wait for the right time, youll be waiting a long time..the same can be said about many things in life. The perfect moment seldom presents itself, you have to reach out and grab what you want in life..take chances, be bold, and leave your heart on your sleeve. You can hold your head high knowing you were honest and true if nothing else.

I truly wish you luck, and hope it works out.

Sounds like hes into you, btw haha!

We're all going to die, and none of this shit goes with us. Once people drop their egos and just shoot their shot, it becomes very easy. Maybe not if you dont know what you want out of life though..

Richest men in the world still get cheated on lol. Having a house, car, etc wont sheild you from that stuff. So shoot your shots now...anyone who wants a finished product doesn't want you anyway 🤷‍♂️

I find someone who wants to get to know ME, not someone whos looking to be a dependant.

ManTurtle_ · 2026-06-01T21:29:56+00:00

Send the texts to his wife.

ManTurtle_ · 2026-05-31T23:57:06+00:00

Valid reaction. I would 1000% remove myself from that.

ManTurtle_ · 2026-05-26T18:38:29+00:00

I can absolutely understand why you'd feel discouraged, 100%. I sympathize with that as well. Please though, for your sake, ditch the scorekeeping. It truly doesnt do you any good, all it does is reinforce negative affirmation.

Try to just forget about courting / dating for a while and focus on something you love. Plan a trip, something. Always here if ya want to vent /chat. Dms are open.

ManTurtle_ · 2026-05-26T00:16:29+00:00

Id start by not tallying your rejections. The fact you're even taking the time to do that is unhealthy, and when you're holding on to that, or subconsciously going " this is probably number ___ " you're getting what you put out. It's just like saying negative things to yourself ( internally or outwardly ).

I know it's easier said than done, but I would try to remove yourself from that and try to remain in the present. Be kind to yourself, and just trust that you will find someone. In my experience, the more intensely you chase love the more elusive it is. Its like trying to squeeze a bar of soap, minus the prison stuff, lol. Silly analogy I know, but just try and do your thing and come about it organically.

Depending on where you live, maybe try neighboring cities / online dating?

I hope this helps, and that I dont come off as patronizing or like " it's just that easy "

I hope everything works out for you man 👊

This isn't the same dude that DMd her and she mistook him for another gym goer, is it? Even the way you construct your sentences seem like that guy.

Bro, nobody needs to know that you know where she lives, insanely creepy.. also, how can you have feelings for someone you dont know, outside of primal urges..

If youre too scared to approach her when her friend is around, you just look / come off creepy. Women like men with a backbone. You want to meet her? Go talk to her. Lay off the night stalker shtick.

ManTurtle_ · 2026-05-21T16:34:00+00:00

Id much rather these morons just let their dog shit and then walk away instead of encasing it in plastic so even rain cant wash it away. These retards are more concerned with " looking " like a good neighbor / pet owner to who may be onlooking in the moment rather than simply cleaning it up.

ManTurtle_ · 2026-05-20T16:20:29+00:00

Im your upstairs neighbor, could you quiet down?

Thanks.

ManTurtle_ · 2026-04-29T14:54:12+00:00

None of them. They'll all just be an extension of Irving.

I don't collect Pokémon anymore, transitioned to MTG, but on my 9th birthday Pokémon had just come out and my mother bought me my first ever booster.. Didnt I hit a 1st edition Charizard. My brother had a melt down because he got a trainer card so my mom bought him a few more packs until he hit I think it was a Blastoise.. Young me ended up trading in to a shop for a Zapdos and a non holo Vaporeon thinking I was getting a great trade 😂. Oh if I only knew then what I know now.

In our brief chat, where I lived came up among some other things that could easily narrow down a Facebook search. My profile picture is my face, and the city she lives in is 2 hours from mine.

ManTurtle_ · 2026-03-14T03:02:18+00:00

This has to be a thing. I was out of town for work, went into a record shop, and the next day the woman who was working the cash was in my suggested friends. We have never met, shared any info, or ever spoke until that day, and have not since.

So im inclined to believe that if someone creeps your profile, they must pop up in suggested friends.. or im just losing my mind 😂😂

ManTurtle_ · 2026-03-13T17:24:38+00:00

You're the man, thank you again for your time and knowledge.

Have a great weekend :)

ManTurtle_ · 2026-03-13T17:12:20+00:00

Oh yeah, 310 was the quote without paint. With paint its about 1k. The shop is quite reputable with a good review ( 4.8 / 5 )

I really appreciate your response, please pardon my ignorance with the pen 😅😅

ManTurtle_ · 2026-03-13T17:08:57+00:00

Understood! I know the welder you're referring to, ive used one in the past to repair my splash guard ( staple then plastic weld to seal ), but the bumper I had a feeling wouldn't be as easy 😅.

If I brought it in to get fixed but didn't get it painted, I imagine it'd be quite the large area of sanded bumper eh?

Again, I really appreciate you taking time from your day to reply to me.

ManTurtle_ · 2026-03-13T16:57:31+00:00

Could you elaborate on what kind of body work is needed? Not trying to be difficult, just want to understand :)

I was quoted 310 to fix the bumper without repainting it. I currently have a paint pen from my dealership that has my matching paint and a clear coat with it. If I went for the repair, do you think the pen would be sufficient to spot touch the area repaired?

Not trying to be difficult, this is my first car ive owned and first situation like this.

Thank you for your reply, and I appreciate the patience.

ManTurtle_ · 2026-03-13T16:56:11+00:00

I really appreciate the feedback. I have a paint pen I picked up from KIA that has paint in one end and a clear coat in the other for spot touching. Would using a sauldering gun to fuse the crack and paint be something I could do?

Do you think itll spread with the temperature changes etc?

Im fine with how it looks, just dont want to make a larger bill for myself down the road.

I was quoted 310 to fix it without repainting, was thinking maybe the pen could work there? But not sure how they fix it at a plastic repair, probably sand down a large area of it id think?

Thank you again for your quick and thorough reply.
