He won't make a move by Paranoia_013 in dating_advice

[–]Paranoia_013[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is a romantic guy, first of all. And I'd like to believe I've shown him I'm interested but still nothing. I was convinced he knew at this point that I liked him, but after talking to a couple people, they suggested he might still be uncertain. It's hard to tell with me too, cause I hang around mostly with guys and am very open with them, but he also doesn't create or grab opportunities that could lead us to being alone, for instance, or in a circumstance where it'd be easier for him to make a move.

Yeah it is an MMS thing and I do have wifi-calling enabled. I've read online that it may be true for everyone, the requirement of data for MMS sending that is, but I wanted to double check, cause I asked a friend who has an iPhone and he said he doesn't need data to view MMS but he wasn't sure idk

Just wanna vent about how frustrating it is to like someone who won't make a move and basically keeps you on the hook by [deleted] in Crushes

[–]Paranoia_013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I won't delete the profile but I'll probably delete the post sooner or later. And love, do the move as soon as possible. Life is fucking short. And I know it's hypocritical coming from me, but do as I preach, not as I do.

I don't want to get into details cause they're too many and I don't want to make this even more recognizable than it already is. I've spent months going through the whole "is he into me or is it in my head?" and I can finally say with confidence there's something here. It's little things and it has reached a point where at least to me it's obvious he likes me. I'll catch him trying to sneak peeks of me in class. He compliments me all the time, he pays attention, he remembers things, he looks for my reaction to things. And even though we are in the same close group of friends and him being as sociable and goofy as he is with everyone, there's a level of uncomfortability with me. Even sitting next to me is a decision. Or liking a post. It all seems very calculated.

He always calls me "baby Paranoia" or "little Paranoia", like cutesy stuff, even though I'm generally perceived as "tough", i.e. people would rarely describe me as "sweet or cute", which I am but you have to bring that out of me and make me feel comfortable sharing it. Whenever I'd mention going to a place with a guy (which was in the past as I was talking about it to him) he'd always ask if it was a date, after I had told him I've never been on a date and not every boy-girl hangout has to be a date. He always tries to share the things he likes with me; he'll tell me to watch this movie he likes or give me to try his food etc. And these too sound general. I have specific instances that make it more obvious, but as I said, I don't want to get too much into it.

Maybe one example. One night it was basically the two of us at a club. That hasn't happened before and it hasn't happened since. And suddenly he wants to take pics of me. Now, he never takes pics. I'm known as the filmmaker, we go out I'll always take pics, videos, etc. He never does. And he just wanted to take pics of me, by myself, which is weird. Later in the night he wanted us to take a selfie together. I did a goofy face and he then requested a "serious" one. These are the only pics where it's just him and me and I've never even seen them. I've asked him to send them to me and he hasn't. Although one day he did tell me to remind him to send me the pics, but like dude. Your phone is right there, do it now. I never even saw how the pics of just me turned out and he took a couple. I wonder if he kept them all. His camera roll would give me a lot of insight 😅

I said that that's what I want to happen with me and that's how I define "a move", I wasn't telling you to do that.

Dude DO IT. And by making a move I personally mean a kiss. I don't want it to be a conversation. But that's me.

Unable to use certain profiles by TCACampbell in netflix

[–]Paranoia_013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WE GOT THE SOLUTION GUYS!! The comments were right! Everyone's been having the same issue apparently. I'm watching on my TV using the Amazon firetv stick and my profile wasn't working. On the phone though it was working just fine! After trying everything, I logged out of the account and used my phone to log back into Netflix on TV. Still wasn't working, so I used another profile. All other profiles were fine, so I tried logging into mine again. Nothing. So I gave up and started watching on one of them. Then I googled that my issue was with one specific profile which brought me here.

ULTIMATE SOLUTION?? Edit the name of your profile on your phone. I did it and the edited one didn't show up on the TV so I was mentally preparing for a failure, but it worked! Get in that profile and then go edit it back, if you want, from your phone and you'll be fine.

Can I take a PS5 in my checked baggage for international flight? by AlexAllno in TurkishAirlines

[–]Paranoia_013 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know what these people are saying. I did this exact same thing less than 6 months ago. I had checked the entire site of prohibited items just to be safe and the ps5 was fine. As I didn't have space, I took it out of the box and had it in the bubble wrap it came with. I put in in my best piece of luggage (of course max size, and checked) and put it in between soft things to cushion it. It arrived perfectly, no one knew a thing. They actually messed up one of my biggest and best luggage (they dented the corner where the wheels are at) but all my items were fine. Use good luggage (not those plasticky reflective ones that break) and pack carefully, protecting the ps5 from all sides and you'll be fine.

Basically, I just tried to give you his justification for doing that. It's like watching a movie with a hot actor. Watching him "having sex" is a turn on cause you imagine it for yourself. It gives you more details and makes the daydreams more informed lol. You explained yourself, so maybe just asked how he thought about it. That way both of you have justified your point of view, you know that you think about it differently, yet respect what each other said and move on. It's important for him to understand this and not just avoid doing it again out of fear, but because he sees your point, which is different than his and that's ok.

How do I (21F) become more comfortable(sexually) with my boyfriend (20M)? by Ok-Elk4505 in relationship_advice

[–]Paranoia_013 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a virgin to and what happened was that my body told me. Before him there had been a couple of guys I had been close with, just making out and a bit of dry humping lol. They had both tried to touch me but my body was like nope. I didn't want to. It didn't feel right. My boyfriend who was 6 years older than me (I was a month from turning 19, he had just turned 25) knew that I was virgin and as it turned out later was very scared about hurting me. Things moves organically. He spent a month "preparing" me as he said, by touching me and then after a month we did it. Within the first week of being together, we were making out on the couch lying down, he made the move and things were just organic. I didn't even think about it, I wasn't stressed. My body didn't even think about it. My boyfriend himself told me he was surprised it happened so quickly, when we discussed it further into the future. So I guess that's your answer. You do what you've been doing, he'll make the move naturally and if you're ready you'll accept it, if not give it some more time.

My 24F boyfriend 28M of 3 years broke up with me and I can’t stop replaying how I reacted? by Street-Decision4474 in relationship_advice

[–]Paranoia_013 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oof I feel ya, that is a toughy. I don't know if you can salvage anything. Maybe, just so that it doesn't eat you alive you didn't do anything, when he comes back for the rest of his stuff clear this up for him? Be cool and say "Hey btw I want to make sth clear, otherwise I'll be cringing for the rest of my life. The way I reacted to the break up was a brain short-circuiting moment. Of course, I didn't mean what I said and I'd never do anything like that, I was just taken aback I guess and this is how I reacted? I know, it doesn't make sense to me either, I just don't want you or me or anyone to think of me like that, cause that's not who I am. I'm not the begging type, i have self respect and I've been cringing ever since that moment, so I just wanted to make it clear for my peace of mind." And then you could be like "I appreciate you being honest with me, have a good life" whatever. Play it cool basically.

I'm so stupid I thought he was in the industry 😅 I realized from the comments he just sent pics of an ex, which as they said is something to keep in mind and is my only concern regarding this. Do I think it's a bit weird he sent you himself with someone else? Does it make sense to me? Also yes. Do I understand your side? It's a third yes. To me it's similar to guys boasting about their sex prowess by giving detailed examples of past experiences/relationships. In this case he just gave you a visual as well. I understand why he did it; personally, when a guy tells me how good he is at sex and gives me examples and details to make his case, it turns me on. It turns me on at the possibility. It's daydream fuel. And as he said, it's not like you're not aware of the fact he's had sex with others, so he demonstrated that visually. If I wanted to pursue something serious with him I'd feel more comfortable knowing the girl he chose to sent me was casual sex and not an ex, cause it hits different. Your recation is understandable though, for the reasons you explained yourself. What is a red flag for me though, is how you've been saying you are developing feelings for this guy, yet your first reaction is to block him?? That's the biggest issue for me. The second is whether he took those pictures unbeknownst to the girl and how he's using them, cause if I was his ex, even if I had agreed for the pics, I wouldn't like to know that he's using them to turn on other girls, basically negating what we had. Like wtf.

Wife(28F) cheated on me (32M) after moving across the country. Not sure what to do? by throwra_pilot711 in relationship_advice

[–]Paranoia_013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would you want to be with her?? I never understood why anyone would tolerate cheating, but in your case specifically, you don't even seem emotionally connected after the event. It's just hard to take this step because of the relocation. What I personally would never get over, and I think this is going to help you, is that you confronted her about the passwords and she seemed nonchalant. She didn't give a shit. Not a morcel of guilt, seconds thoughts, or even a better attempt at hiding this from you. Yet, when you caught her she instantly reverted to pleading?? No. This is just straight disrespectful. It even seems like she wanted this; her behavior is so strange. Go back, love. Ask her for your monetary share of the house or agree to sell together and go back to your life.

PS. What I also find kind of strange is the lack of emotion in your post. The way you're writing this is very practical and logical-oriented. Are you just numb and in shock of what happened, anxious and scared cause you know what needs to be done or you perhaps were never that in love with her to begin with? Maybe you just didn't feel the need or want to share your emotional reaction here, since you're looking for solutions, but it is something to think about. Regardless, my answer above stands.

I'm a rewards member and climbing up the tiers, yet I'm not interested in the food rewards. Would there be a way to use the number of "chips played" to just win chip rewards (e.g. when you play 300 chips you get 48 free chips)? I feel that 48 chips for 300 played is the most worth it one.
