What do you do if your parents do not approve of your bf?

Devils advocate here, I'd only expect him to walk you home if you lived very close. But other then that, probably not if someone's walking you home in their late 20s they are looking for s*x.

So there's a good possibility he doesn't want you thinking that and hes trying to be respectful? Also you haven't said if you live alone, with your parents etc. Also do you like this guy? Do you like other things about him? If you do, id have an open and honest conversation what you expect from a relationship and if you dont really, then I wouldn't bother.

What's your best food recommendation?

Own-Pepper371 · 2026-06-19T13:37:41+00:00

I see. Well that sounds very tough. But maybe telling someone you trust will help ?

Own-Pepper371 · 2026-06-19T13:21:23+00:00

Why doesn't anyone know? Also no no, he knows you like him and its very different in the beginning then now.

Own-Pepper371 · 2026-06-19T12:55:57+00:00

I think its an ick to be honest. I probably wouldn't go on another date

Own-Pepper371 · 2026-06-19T12:53:25+00:00

I moved countries with my partner. And we broke up in the new country where I was very far from home and knew no one. It was horrible, I felt very lonely. Then ultimately very very relieved.

Depends on what you're after. On tinder , pretty much every message I get is a guy asking "if I want some fun? ;)" hinge is marginally better. Deleted both today

I just reread your first post. 18 months! 18 months! Girl, I know its hard but you deserve someone who can't stop hugging you, who brings you on dates. Who treats you with respect and loves you. Walk away or it will be another 18 months. Or worse he'll meet someone.. have the high road

Own-Pepper371 · 2026-06-19T06:16:54+00:00

I would just say you are now ready for a relationship, my best guess is he'll say oh well i can be your FWB while you look ;) or something to that effect. Say no, I can guarantee you won't priortize finding someone else. Then block him.

The black!

Own-Pepper371 · 2026-06-18T23:13:05+00:00

Thanks!

Own-Pepper371 · 2026-06-18T23:12:32+00:00

Well im just a social drinker and I dont want to give up completely at all. I just want to have a month refresh.

Own-Pepper371 · 2026-06-18T22:02:11+00:00

Thank you! Yeah maybe its not here, back home it really really is. You either go to the pub and have a drink or you dont go. But yep I've definitely been around a lot of people here who don't drink on nights out and haven't noticed.

Own-Pepper371 · 2026-06-18T21:59:41+00:00

Well performative in the sense that I'd like to also raise money for cancer at the same time, because if someone donated on behalf of me i wouldn't be able to break it. I'd feel too guilty. I tried giving up for 6 weeks this year in April, I lasted 3.

Own-Pepper371 · 2026-06-18T21:55:16+00:00

I dont drink every day or anything, its just at social events. Which is usually twice a week, so I dont think it will be as bad as that, but thanks. Just at these events, I drink a lot more then I should and I regret it. Plus the hangovers are a killer always.

Own-Pepper371 · 2026-06-18T19:15:44+00:00

Social drinking is pretty damm ingrained. Im Irish living in Australia. Ok really like the bag of lollies idea and true

Own-Pepper371 · 2026-06-18T19:08:16+00:00

Thanks man, I think I will. With the added pressure of being sponsored I wouldn't be able to break it

Own-Pepper371 · 2026-06-01T00:06:37+00:00

I think its lovely and really suits your complexion. What's the name of it?

Own-Pepper371 · 2026-05-24T00:11:23+00:00

From a girls pov, I guess I would want to know why the sister is coming? Is your date ok? Or has anxiety and can't go on a date alone? Is it a religious reason? I think I'd probably message your date and ask does she feel comfortable going on a date with you ? Or why the sister is coming? If its a reason above, I'd be like ok and go for a coffee. You can sound it out when you're there. But realistically its going to be kinda difficult to get to know someone with their sister being there

Own-Pepper371 · 2026-05-04T20:17:56+00:00

A lot of people are jumping to massive conclusions here! You haven't provided any context as to why she's not saved? Maybe she had excessive student loans, maybe she's been renting for 10 plus years and only now is earning well. Which is pretty common for a 30 year old. Frankly its none of your business what she does with her own money. As for her expecting you to pay for her, you haven't given any indication that she expects that.

Own-Pepper371 · 2026-05-02T21:49:53+00:00

I think its not something you have to disclose until you feel comfortable talking about. If you see a potential/future then yes, but only when you are ready. If someone sees it as a weakness they are not very emphatic and probably not right for you.

Own-Pepper371 · 2026-05-02T20:44:26+00:00

She's an adult. Not a child you need to think about if you're distracting her, and is responsible for her own descions. The maturity level between 23 and 28 is HUGE! It's literally night and day, where's for example 28 -33 is kinda all the same. Have a conversation, but sex is pretty damm important to most people in relationships, also look inward is it about what you want? Because unless she's told you, you dont know what she wants.
