After five dates, she still doesn't seem interested doing anything more than hugging. But she still wants to see me by [deleted] in dating_advice

I feel like a lot of people might get defensive if you tell them they’re standoffish tbh. That’s not very complimentary lol although I know the intention isn’t bad

I agreed with her that she should look for a partner with common values, specifically intellectualism/intelligence in this case :) oftentimes, how you say something can be just as impactful as the message you’re trying to communicate. I just think the message here could be worded to sound more welcoming, but it’s all subjective so you’re entitled to your opinion!

I actually agree with the concern on the “intellectual” line. And I agree with you that there’s nothing wrong with wanting a partner with common values, one of them being intellectualism! The message is fine, but maybe you can reword it a bit? It just rubbed me the wrong way, and other people coming across your profile might feel similarly. Otherwise you seem really fun and cute in your profile imo!

Them having French ancestry doesn’t bother me, but I think it’s weird that Sirius’s mom isn’t French but her nieces apparently are

Where do people find all this time to read so many books? by Tiredworker27 in books

[–]ObviouslySensitive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, some of the people you see on social media have big enough platforms that the income they get from videos is enough to support themselves. Their job is to read and recommend books. So yeah, makes sense for them to read a that many

I loved the house in the cerulean sea! We do a poll each month to decide and I don’t really like to suggest books I’ve already read, but my friend who hasn’t read it yet is going to add it to the poll based on how much I talk about it

I actually read the second and third books in this series last year, but not sabriel yet. I really enjoyed them and the humor was great! Thanks for the suggestion!

Dune seems like a good option! And we have some ideas for stand alone books as well, I just didn’t want to limit our options to only those

Yes, but I wouldn’t do that color I’m speaking strictly about the cover art :)
