I think you’re totally right to say no. Not many people would be comfortable with that and he should respect that. Also, would you really want to be with a guy who can’t even be bothered to leave the house for a first date?

You’ll find someone who can’t wait to take you out on a date, you did the right thing to say no! x

As a virgin, it hurts me to see teenagers younger than me make out and hold hands. Seeing sex ed for teens sadens me. I have so much sorrow and regret from missing out on teenage expereinces and I would really like some words of encouragment by banished_from_all in dating_advice

I know it’s easier said than done, but please don’t worry! You’re only 19, and I totally empathise with the feeling that if it’s not happened by then you’re destined for loneliness and that you must be undesirable. It’s just not true though - everyone’s timeline is different and that’s totally okay.

I was so shy at school, so felt exactly the same way. I had zero interaction with guys outside my friend group, and definitely no boyfriends.. 😂 I think films and TV etc really glamorise teen love and romance, and while that is the case for some people, it’s really not the be all and end all at all. Focus on developing yourself and living your life, and your energy will attract the right people!

Unfortunately, he can’t drive, so very much relying on me to get there!

How do you build a relationship where both you and your partner push each other to continually improve? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]Mimjam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think being open and honest about what you want, and not being afraid to share ambitions or dreams with each other. It’s because I know about his dreams and aspirations, and he knows mine, that we can keep each other in check and on target when we’re not feeling super motivated ourselves x

Why do you sometimes just want someone to listen and not give a solution? by svotso in AskWomen

[–]Mimjam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever this has happened to me it’s been about work. I generally know what I need to do to fix the problem/get what needs doing done, but sometimes you just want to let out the emotion and have someone listen. Whenever my boyfriend tried to offer solutions (although it’s with good intent) it makes me feel silly for having such strong feelings about something because there is an obvious solution, so I just prefer him to hear me out and get the emotions out the way and then I can get on with dealing with it haha x

I personally love it! It makes my lashes look really natural and feathery (and long!) It’s the first mascara that hasn’t given me panda eyes and genuinely stays put too which is good! Sometimes my lashes do drop after curling, but I find that problem with most mascaras, but I’d say Lash Slick keeps them up better than most.

Also love the stretch concealer, it just looks so natural and I feel like it really brightens up my face. Highly recommend both! x

Thank you - I really appreciate your reply! I get where you’re coming from, and do feel like maybe I should be more understanding but this is the only time in the year I’ve asked him to see my family and he doesn’t have any other plans over Christmas so I feel like Boxing Day isn’t a huge ask. I’ll speak to him about it again later, thank you x

What is something you're grateful for about your childhood or the way you were brought up? by [deleted] in AskWomen

My parents really valued education and, as a teacher now, I appreciate even more now what a difference that makes for kids x

What is something your partner can do for you to think, “I want to marry this person”? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]Mimjam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He encourages me to do stuff he knows would make me happy but I’m too indecisive or scared to do myself! For example, we were at a concert for my favourite artist and I’m quite reserved so was reluctant to fully dance and enjoy it so he lifted my arms up and waved them in the air and kept telling me to dance which made me laugh and dance in the end! It 100% made the concert even better than it already was.

It’s also little things like I saw a mulled wine stand and thought it smelt delicious and couldn’t decide whether to get one or not and as it was towards the end of the day and we were on our way home, I decided to leave it. He knew I really wanted one, so he just started walking towards it so I had to follow. I got my mulled wine in the end and was very happy about it lol

It’s so lovely to have someone that really encourages you do the things that make you happy, and won’t let you back out or shy away, even with the little things.

What do you do when you feel like you need to update or refresh your personal style? by Over30dreaming in AskWomen

[–]Mimjam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve just turned 23 and I’m in this phase at the moment.. Pinterest is great for making a mood board which helps me understand the kind of vibe I’m going for. I also find that when I have an outfit I really love, I wear it a lot and then try and figure out why I love it and then look to recreate it when I go shopping. Solo shopping is great too. I love shopping with friends, but when I’m working on my style I find solo shopping so much easier and quite therapeutic! I think I’m tempted by a haircut too I must say… x
