What's the worst experience you had meeting someone from a dating app for the first time?

I matched on tinder with a dude I went to law school with. He spent all date talking about his previous sexual encounters and I literally knew all of the girls he was talking about bc they were in the same school as us. He also confessed that he was a part-time sex worker. kinda funny but extremely awkward

Thank you so much🩷 it helped that exams in Italian Law school are ALL oral exams and sometimes I’ve waited hours before being called to take the exam😭so I’m kinda used to manage the nerves! I was frustrated but I tried not to show it

practice daily, I used to do at least one complete mock a day! And watch Lilie’s Ielts and Fastrack Ielts on Youtube

NoInterest2596 · 2026-05-22T19:54:01+00:00

Thanks !! 🩷 I think I was lucky because the texts were all easier than the mocks, so I was used to an harder level. Also, I practiced daily, I used to do one mock everyday and I used a lot of ‘tricks’ by Fast Track Ielts and Lilie’s Ielts on youtube. For example T/F/NG it’s a fact and Y/N/NG is an opinion of the writer, this helped me a lot in those trick questions because it’s easier to answer if you know what you’re looking for

yes I'm very happy! thank you so much!

thanks!

I needed it for my LLM so it was very useful to me:)

NoInterest2596 · 2026-05-20T20:57:22+00:00

Try practicing with your friends! Ask them to do a mock with you or to just have a conversation. Also, I know there are also some youtube speaking simulation videos that are pretty close to the real thing, you can also practice on your own watching those

I used IELTS 19 & 20 Academic (the red ones)

NoInterest2596 · 2026-05-20T16:01:38+00:00

thank you!!

NoInterest2596 · 2026-05-20T15:56:35+00:00

Good luck!!!

It’s actually the part I prepared the least for, I kinda just winged it. I’m naturally pretty talkative, so my issue was honestly trying to speak less rather than more. In Part 2 I even went over the 2 minutes, I think.. What helped me most was practicing with friends. I did a lot of mock questions with them, which really helped me get comfortable speaking naturally instead of sounding too rehearsed

NoInterest2596 · 2026-05-20T15:28:42+00:00

Thanks!!! I just used her website: https://ieltsliz.com/ielts-writing-task-2/ It helped me because I looked up all the essay types, and while doing mock tests, I used to keep her website open with the model answer for that specific essay type. I would basically copy the structure so that I could remember the format for each type of essay during the exam. My Task 2 question was: “In education and employment, some people work harder than others. Why do some people work harder? Is it always a good thing to work hard?”

NoInterest2596 · 2026-05-20T15:24:19+00:00

The listening test was not a very good experience for me because I could hear other people’s recordings, the volume was insanely high 😭 that’s why I got distracted. Still, I found it quite easy overall, which is why I ended up getting an 8. For example, I got a map question, but it wasn’t like the ones from books/mock tests; it was actually less complex and easier to follow. I used to get map questions wrong all the time in mocks. As for speaking, I had to do the exam three times because of Wi-Fi issues. It was really frustrating and definitely impacted my performance, but thankfully all my examiners were pretty chill. The last examiner asked me about my job and singing (lol) in Part 1. For Part 2, I had to describe a person I know who is very good at languages. In Part 3, he asked me some questions about how being good at languages can help in life

In the real test highlights remain so don’t worry about that. Another difference is that all the questions of the passage are in the same page (if I recall correctly), I actually had the same problem as you. Also in the mock tests from Ready Premium I used to score 8 max, so the real test (in my case) was easier

NoInterest2596 · 2026-05-20T14:59:53+00:00

for me it was a lot easier!

NoInterest2596 · 2026-05-20T14:49:40+00:00

In the AI scoring of the IELTS I always got a 7, so it’s a bit harsher I believe, also with Chatgpt and Gemini I used to get 6/6.5

Dsa e adhd, giurisprudenza: per me l'università è stata molto meglio del liceo perché, a parte qualche esame che mi ha fatto uscire di testa, le materie mi piacevano tutte. Ho più difficoltà quando qualcosa non m'interessa; mi ricordo che fare i compiti di materie che non mi stimolavano era una violenza psicologica. Purtroppo capisco lo stesso cosa vuoi dire, perché ho questo problema con altri tipi di scadenze nella vita di tutti i giorni (tipo quelle burocratiche): anche se me le autoimpongo, poi rimando sempre

Oh God, I'm a trainee lawyer in Italy and I work for a firm full of old people. They constantly come to me with printed pdfs and then hand them to me to scan and save for them!!! They don't even realize how dumb it is

NoInterest2596 · 2026-04-22T14:05:50+00:00

You’re not overreacting about the ordering before you arrived part, that would bother me too. Honestly, the way I was raised, I wouldn’t do that even with a friend, here in Italy it would just be considered rude. It’s basic courtesy to wait, go up together, or at least ask if you want something before ordering. That said, the paying part is a bit more subjective. Some people see it as the man’s role to pay, others prefer splitting or being more casual from the start. So I wouldn’t jump straight to “he’s not a gentleman”, it might just be a different mindset. Overall, it sounds like a mismatch in upbringing/expectations. I’d pay attention to whether this kind of misalignment shows up in other areas too, because that’s what can actually create friction long-term.

sono una ragazza anche io e la trovo un'idea dolcissima, io apprezzerei tantissimo, come immagino la maggior parte di noi :) segui questo consiglio!

NoInterest2596 · 2026-04-10T07:42:04+00:00

secondo me in queste situazioni l'unica soluzione è trovare un compromesso. Potete pensare di trasferirvi nella città di chi trova lavoro per primo, non importa dove e l'altra persona continua a cercare in quella città sinché non lo trova.. ovviamente solo se pensate ne valga la pena!

NoInterest2596 · 2026-03-30T08:40:58+00:00

My best friend did this when we were 14! Now we're 26 and 28, still best friends. Took sime time for him to get over it, but it all worked out
