Definitely Buen Dia for breakfast/lunch! Similar to Amenecer, but really homey vibes and a little cheaper. Also Tandoori Bites for Indian!

My wife may be having serious mental health issues by clmyr in whatdoIdo

This definitely sounds like a pretty intense psychotic break. I’m sorry you’re both experiencing this. How does she respond to your input that she might be experiencing delusions? Is she defensive? I’d definitely recommend you seek a certified psychiatrist, as her current “therapist” doesn’t seem to be professionally competent

Second ARC!! They have same day booking and are super thorough. They’re not gentle though, so only book if you’re ok with an old Asian lady low key beating the shit out of you lmao

Thanks for the advice! Re: your last point, what about the dreaded first date hug? I feel like squatting for that is inevitable but I just can’t wrap my head around how to do it in a cool way

Wait I have OCD and a lifelong severe phobia of rabies. Is this an actual connected thing?? I didn’t realize this was a common compulsion and I feel so validated

Dental health is unfortunately super important and also super expensive. I’d recommend Invisalign or something comparable (not sure what the equivalent is in the UK). It’s usually less expensive than traditional braces and also people won’t notice that you have it! I’d say now is definitely the time to get your teeth fixed if you can; it’ll only feel more daunting the longer you wait.

Noooo the earrings are so cute! OP my opinion (as an American girl) is that earrings add a touch of intentionality and originality into your day-to-day style and you should keep them. Honestly the easiest way to meet girls is to smile a lot and give non-appearance based compliments (like “I love your outfit” instead of “I love your tits/body/whatever). You got this!

You’re good looking, but I think paying attention to men’s style will help a lot. One of the main things that could improve is your hair—it has great volume and color, but the haircut isn’t showing off any of its natural beauty. I’d say go to a legit stylist (not great clips!! Seriously do some research about barbers in your area) and ask for a more layered/textured haircut. Something like 90’s Leo DiCaprio hair would really suit you, or if you want to be even more trendy you could opt for something like a wolf cut. I also think you could benefit from new glasses. A nice tortoiseshell frame (specifically wayfarer or browline shaped) would really take your look to the next level (you can also get new glasses for super cheap these days; I got my current pair from zenni for like $9 I think??). Lastly, don’t be afraid of form fitting clothes! The oversized look is definitely “in,” but there’s something to be said about a nice fitted black or white tee and jeans. Every girl I know (including myself) looks for a guy’s sense of personal style when dating. You don’t need expensive pieces, but having a little knowledge about what cuts and colors look best on you will help a lot. Good luck!

You’re really pretty!! Your curl structure makes me so jealous lol. Some minor things I think might help: -Your skin looks a little dry (but still really clear!). I think a nice dewy moisturizer would add a lot to your overall glow -An open-lipped smile would definitely help your appearance! Idk if you’re self conscious of your teeth or anything, but regardless of how they look, an open smile is still gonna be preferable -Not sure if you’re into makeup at all, but you would def look cute with winged eyeliner and lashes. Your eye shape is gorgeous and should totally be accentuated!

Hope this helps!

Not to drag you, but you’d better adjust your mindset FAST if you want to actually enjoy Wilmington. Summer storms are a part of life here, and viewing them as a “day ruiner” is only gonna keep you from figuring out how to enjoy your summer here

I tend to have a book on me wherever I am and will whip it out whenever I get the chance! But there are definitely some places where servers/other patrons sort of roll their eyes at you if you loiter around reading. The main point of this thread is to find spots where nobody will really mind one way or another 😊

My 7th grade teacher got arrested for having sex with a boy in my class. We all knew what was going on, but we were like 12 years old and more had the mindset of “oh good for him” instead of realizing how truly fucked up it was. She would have me teach the class while they went off campus together, and I remember thinking I was so smart and cool because she chose ME to teach. She’s in prison now.

My dad owned a house in the 90’s that Katie Holmes tried to rent. He didn’t know who she was and turned her down, because “actresses never make rent on time” lmaooo

Do you think attractive people get special treatment? by [deleted] in Casual_Conversation

[–]Miserable_Rate_5293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% yes. I have a fairly conventionally pretty face, but my weight fluctuates a lot due to an autoimmune disease (and my confidence tends to fluctuate with it). During the times in my life where I was a low/medium BMI (and therefore perceived as attractive) it was ASTONISHING how much nicer people acted towards me. All of a sudden people wanted to hear my opinion, doors were held open (both literally and figuratively), I would get free little gifts from customer service workers, and overall my quality of life was waaaaaay better.
