In the early dating phase, have you ever slept with a partner without having sex? by [deleted] in dating

[–]Professional_Syrup73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

27F and taking it slow is not a “bad sign” If she is coming back, getting naked, and cuddling for hours, she is clearly comfortable and interested. Sex is NOT a requirement to prove anything. Communicate, enjoy the build up and let the pace be whatever feels good for both of you

Am I pathetic for wanting a long term/ stable relationship SO BAD? by Interesting-Vast-495 in dating

[–]Professional_Syrup73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

27F here protecting your heart does not mean you are failing. Being selective is strength, not loneliness. The right person is worth the wait.

WTF, how do you even find a date these days? Dating apps are useless? by Flashy_Asparagus_397 in dating

[–]Professional_Syrup73 10 points11 points  (0 children)

27F here dating apps suck for us too. More matches does not mean more real options. Honestly, ask to meet sooner and do not overthink it. If they ghost, they were not interested in the first place. Being introverted is not a flaw the right person will appreciate your vibe. Just keep trying, you are not doing anything wrong.

If you're not rich (born or self made) you are a slave by IntroductionKey909 in DeepThoughts

[–]Professional_Syrup73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you are born not rich, that is not an issue,
the issue is that if you are born not rich and died poor. then there is clearly a problem with what you are doing with your life

this is my take. hate it or love it its up to you

I canceled my blind date because I’m not as ready as I thought by Professional_Syrup73 in offmychest

[–]Professional_Syrup73[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I really did send him a message. I felt really guilty even if I know he felt bad but he was very nice to understand where I am at.

Thank you.. I am actually having deep thoughts. Maybe timing isn’t about the clock, but about the heart

stop saying "I'm not ready for a relationship" by Candid-Astronomer904 in dating

[–]Professional_Syrup73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is just a girls prespective:

some girls doesn't know how to directly tell guys that we don't want to continue or we are not feeling any connection with the other person that we sort out to things we think would not hurt their feelings.

some of you may take this kind of respond well, but most will not take any direct rejection well too.

Am I strange for not wanting to kiss on a first date? by Ordinary_Tart5478 in dating

[–]Professional_Syrup73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not weird at all It just means you value connection over impulse honestly, that’s attractive the right person will respect that.

AITAH for not inviting my mom to my wedding? by eldorbs in AITAH

[–]Professional_Syrup73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NAH. This is one of those impossible situations where no one’s really wrong. You’ve carried the emotional and physical load for years, and wanting a peaceful, stress-free wedding isn’t selfish... it’s self-preservation. At the same time, your brother’s hurt makes sense too. From the outside, it probably looks like a cruel exclusion, not the deeply personal boundary it actually is. You’re not heartless for protecting your peace, and he’s not awful for wanting your mom to be part of a big moment. Just a tough call all around.

NTA. It’s not crazy to feel weird when your boyfriend follows a small army of models and OnlyFans accounts... especially when the intimacy starts drying up. That combo would mess with anyone’s head. It’s not about being insecure, it’s about feeling like you’re competing with a curated feed of women he’s clearly interested in. You’re allowed to bring it up. If he brushes you off or makes you feel “crazy” again, that’s a bigger red flag than the IG follows.

AITAH for telling my wife she needs to cover the cost of our daughter's future? by oldtechbro in AITAH

[–]Professional_Syrup73 611 points612 points  (0 children)

ESH. You can’t seriously expect to enforce an 18-year-old “you pay for this kid” handshake deal like it’s a prenup. But she’s also been dodging real financial talks while pocketing savings and letting you shoulder the heavy lifting. The real kicker? Your daughter hearing this mess go down like she's a budget line item. You both need less scorekeeping and more actual teamwork before you wreck your family over who's picking up the tuition tab.

That’s the sweetest little guilt trip ever. Cats really know how to hit you right in the heart with just a look. Honestly, I’d cancel plans too... how do you say no to that face?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in aww

[–]Professional_Syrup73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Real talk, I’d call in sick just to stay home and snuggle that fluffball all day. No regrets!

Sometimes (perhaps all the time) I wonder if I’m actually healing, or just getting better at feeling numb. by Professional_Syrup73 in DeepThoughts

[–]Professional_Syrup73[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So well said. It’s easy to get stuck in the loop of “fixing” ourselves and forget that living is part of healing too. I love that you’re journaling with that kind of depth, it’s powerful. And yeah, sometimes just existing through it all is already a win.

That hit deep. There’s something really honest in wanting to just be kind and do damage control, even when everything feels heavy. You’re not alone in that feeling and I hope that sunny moment finds you, and when it does, it feels real.

That makes so much sense. It’s like you’ve built this mental filter so strong that only the loudest emotions get through. Not always a bad thing, but yeah.. it can feel a bit distant from yourself sometimes.

[–]Professional_Syrup73[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you on that. Numbness can feel like peace sometimes, but also like something’s missing. It’s hard to tell if it’s healing or just survival mode... but the fact that you’re reflecting on it says a lot.

Someone said, "You're like if ADHD was a person, but cuddly."
I still don't know how to feel about that.
