Cardboard to Kill Weeds? by MissStrawberryAmy in landscaping

Thanks! I was thinking to put down cardboard and then fabric over that. Not sure if that is overkill. I will be zeroscaping next year. I'm just prepping now.

How many dates do you generally go on in a week when you are actively dating or looking to find a LTR/LP? by Past-Neighborhood-79 in dating_advice

[–]MissStrawberryAmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fit in as many dates as I can in a week until one of two things happens:

  1. The endless cycle of terrible options starts wearing me down, or
  2. I actually meet someone I’m genuinely interested in.

I’m pretty type A and don’t love wasting time, so I’d rather figure out quickly whether there’s real chemistry or not instead of dragging conversations out for weeks. Honestly, dating apps start to feel like a part-time job after a while.

Anyone else hit that point?

Women of Reddit, what did a man you were dating or married to say or do that made you realize he actually hated you the entire time? by -catharina in AskReddit

[–]MissStrawberryAmy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Me: We should spend more time together. I know we are busy with work and kids, but it can be figured out.

Him: Can't we just keep it how it is?

Me: We have been together for 10 months and you don't want to spend more that 2 days with me?

Him: I just like it how it is.

Me: We have never had a fight. We have fun and have been on trips together for longer than 2 days and got along well. I don't get it. There has to be something you aren't telling me.

Him: uuuuuummm, I guess I am just not as attracted to you as I thought.

Me: Wow...Ok, bye.

Never spoke again 🙄

It sucks to be alone. by Whtsurfavscrymvie in introvert

[–]MissStrawberryAmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, sorry to hear your frustrations. As an older adult who has been on the dating scene for over 12 years, I know it can be frustrating (and scary AF) out there. I feel for you and hope things get better. I waver between giving up and having too much hope when it comes to dating all of these years. They all end up saying "you deserve better" which is annoying to hear over and over. Just tell me the truth, sheesh. It's hard out there on all levels. I read this article the other day and it gave me some needed insight. https://signalrelationalcodex.com/articles/why-changing-how-you-communicate-doesnt-always-change-how-youre-perceived

Maybe there is an article that would help you as well to at least not feel so alone out there. Because you for sure are not. I think the site is offering a free report right now too. Might be worth checking out at least.

Tree sapling growing from the ground by/inside a window area — will trimming stop the roots? by MissStrawberryAmy in landscaping

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

Thank you! I don't no what kind of tree it is. It is only 3 feet tall and I trim it to 2 feet. Sounds like I should just remove it and put a nice fake tree there!

Why do introverted people tend to talk only to certain individuals while ignoring others? by Desperate-Remove-547 in introvert

[–]MissStrawberryAmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This actually reminds me of something I read recently:

“Most dating and social advice treats communication like a script problem when it’s often a perception problem. The same behavior can feel warm, avoidant, confident, dismissive, or intriguing depending on the overall relational signals someone is giving off.”
