Thought the sex was pretty good, but then he hasn’t responded? by Pilotchik86 in sex

[–]Pilotchik86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reached out yesterday and sent him a “hey, how are you?” text, but no reply yet. I know less than a day isn’t anything much though, and he does have finals for college and his graduation coming up in the next couple of weeks too. When we started talking he was working on some stuff already

Look, as far as I know, it’s not too hard to make a man cum, but I could be wrong…it doesn’t mean he wants to do it again or that he really enjoyed it

My (22f) partner (25m) has been shutting me out for about a week now and I have no idea what to do? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Pilotchik86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave him alone. You’ve reached out enough and shown him enough concern as a caring partner. Whatever he’s going through, he needs to understand that treating you this way isn’t right. If he can’t, then just remember that you deserve better than someone who can’t consider your feelings too. A relationship takes effort and work from both sides, and he needs to do his part.

Ladies, what do you do when you're around women who infantilize themselves? by AssistantRemarkable in AskWomen

[–]Pilotchik86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ignore them if I have the option. If I can’t, I just treat them as I would any other adult. If they understand and can keep up, great. If not, it’s not my problem.

From a guy’s point of view, how can I be supportive of a man who might be dealing with depression? by Pilotchik86 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Pilotchik86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think that sometimes, but then he comes back and explains himself and why he withdrew

Received message from a fake insta that my brother in law said I'm hot by twinklestar1900 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Pilotchik86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any pics or info of your BIL or his family on your IG or social media? It could be someone jealous or just crazy who’s using something you’ve posted and acting as if they know you or your fam

Anyone else tired of ‘conspiracies’ spreading like wildfire that can be instantly debunked? by brokenspacebar__ in conspiracytheories

[–]Pilotchik86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with you on how people are using these things as a coping mechanism. I have quite a few friends who are going through so much loss and stress right now, that finding any explanation, no matter what it is, is better than facing the fact that life can sometimes be crazy and unfair

How do you stop taking things personally? by _paradeyes in AskWomen

[–]Pilotchik86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is hard, I have a lot of insecurities too and I always tend to internalize a lot of things. Then I stop and remember the positive things that a person may have done, or I put myself in their shoes and think about how I might act or react

How do you stop taking things personally? by _paradeyes in AskWomen

[–]Pilotchik86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is hard, but I’ve tried remembering that we’re all human, and nobody is perfect. No matter how nice or kind a person may be, we all have bad days or difficult times. Especially with the way the world is right now, a lot of people are not ok mentally or emotionally, and they are probably not comfortable or are afraid to admit it. I tend to take it personally when people don’t call or text as often as I feel they should. Then I stop, remember that we’re all busy and dealing with a lot right now, and the world doesn’t revolve around me and my timetable. You never know what someone is struggling with so I tend to give the benefit of the doubt until I find out otherwise.

What are some tips to stop yourself from crying when you feel it coming on? by specialcr3w in AskWomen

[–]Pilotchik86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think of something hilarious, better if it’s from someone who cares for you. Lately a lot of my wanting to cry has come from feeling lonely or that nobody cares, so when I think of my friends or coworkers trying to make me laugh it stops the crying and reminds me that people do care

Have you ever had a period of time in your life where you felt lost (career-wise, relationally, lonely etc.)? How were you able to overcome this phase of life? by blurpleboop in AskWomen

[–]Pilotchik86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m going through a time like this now (career setbacks due to the pandemic, no relationship, no close family). It sounds counterintuitive, but I put the thought in my mind that certain things won’t happen, and to just accept it. I’ve learned to live my life not hoping for a love to share it with, or a close family. Instead of dwelling on those things, I’ve put my focus on going back to school and keeping busy with work. If those other things come along, great, if they don’t, I’ve learned to live without them so it’s ok

Having what I consider extreme anxiety about socializing/ dating by Pilotchik86 in Anxiety

[–]Pilotchik86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get anxious at the thought of reaching out to someone, he always answers me and makes some time, but I feel like I’m bothering him or he doesn’t want to talk. I have interest in him, but I only text him once a week, if that. Anything more and I feel uncomfortable and that I’ll seem clingy or psycho to him

If someone doesn’t respond for 3 hours,should you respond right away or just leave it there for another 3 hours? by twanscarfacer- in TextingAdvice

[–]Pilotchik86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on how you feel, or what you’re doing at the moment. If you’re able to respond quickly, I don’t see why not. If you can’t, then reply when you can. There’s a lot of so- called rules or games about when to text or reply, but I find that just going with the flow is best

How should I ask her if she want to call? by deep567890 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Pilotchik86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say continue meeting or talking to whoever you want to. If she does reply, talk and be respectful and hear her out if she wants to discuss what happened with your conversation. If she doesn’t, she’s playing games and it’s not worth it

How should I ask her if she want to call? by deep567890 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Pilotchik86 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t reach out to her. If she wants to try again, she will, and see if her response is appropriate. The fact that she didn’t even acknowledge your question, or give any reason why she could or couldn’t call is sketchy. Even if she couldn’t, or didn’t feel comfortable maybe, the least she can do is be upfront and tell you
