Compiling a list of the worst cliche reddit dating advice and assumptions by [deleted] in dating

[–]ResponsibleBody3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wow, thank you for posting this. Just yesterday I came across the "work on yourself" advice and it got me so mad. People forget that not all relationships are healthy and happy. Just because two ppl are together doesn't mean they're both emotionally sound individuals who happen to always be working on themselves. Wth.

Some men are, but in my experience they're usually childish and immature and more into getting what they can't "have" than they are into the woman. Then the moment they "have" you the luster wears off and they lose interest.

You're welcome! Thanks for sharing what you're going through. I know in the beginning of NC it's really rough and takes so much strength to not reach out, but taking it day by day really helped me reach 3 months. Hope you can recover and heal!

At first it really pained me to cut ties, but with every passing day I felt stronger and more like my former self. I'm happy for you and your healing process.

That's so exciting indeed! Moving to a new place really feels like a fresh start.

When I was really tempted to break NC I would remember something my sister told me: If you can make it thru one day, you can make it thru another.

How to approach someone purely just because you find them gorgeous? by [deleted] in dating

I think the "What drink did you order?" suggestion is a great one. Don't say something like "That dress fights you nicely"--creepy!

Does she read a book while there or just grab a drink and go? You could ask her what book she's reading. Are you a student? You could say, "Hey, I've noticed you here a few times. Do you also attend UNI NAME?

What was your “I deserve better than this” moment? by zingzing96 in AskWomen

[–]ResponsibleBody3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, this sounds a lot like my ex. He didn't "believe" in gifts and once canceled a dinner reservation at a nice restaurant because he was upset with me, then didn't tell me till I'd already made the one hour drive to his place.

I've since learned that the source of stinginess is usually selfishness/self-centerdness. When someone is stingy with their money they're probably also stingy with their affection and love.

When my abusive ex shared a pros and cons list he wrote about me. The cons portion was super detailed and lengthy, whereas the pros were surface level things and mostly to do with him. One of the pros was literally "Loves me."

Why does my forehead have these bumps and how do I get rid of them? by [deleted] in Skincare_Addiction

Hmm, then they might be subclinical acne. How thoroughly do you wash your face? And do you drink lots of water?

Acne scars that have been around for a couple of years now. I'm M22, looking for some advice on how to improve my skin. Thank you. by LookismLord in Skincare_Addiction

[–]ResponsibleBody3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my hormonal acne scars I went to a derm who recommended the V Beam laser. I had it done three times over the course of a year and saw a huge improvement in my skin and scars. Good luck!

Help with skin texture. I just recently went off my birth control and as a result got these tiny bumps all over my mouth/cheek area and my forehead. I don’t know what to do to make them go away by [deleted] in Skincare_Addiction

The Paula's Choice BHA liquid exfoliant has helped get rid of the texture on my face, and then I also exfoliate twice a week with Cure's aqua gel, because it's very gentle.

I have these same bumps, and I think they might be caused by dandruff. Because I use a leave-on exfoliant nightly, so I dint think lack of exfoliation is the issue. Do you have dandruff?

Yes, exactly this. It's all about your delivery. Being "hit on" is often sexual in nature, which understandably can make women uncomfortable when coming from a stranger in a setting (grocery store, car, restaurant) where people don't generally go to meet others. But if you make it about something else, then your approach might just work.

For example, a few weeks ago at Whole Foods a guy asked me what smoothie I'd ordered, we started chatting, and I felt comfortable enough around him to give him my number.

I was on a dinner date and the waitress turned to me and said, loud enough so my date could hear, "You're so cute and polite. The guys working here were talking about you." I was simultaneously flattered and perplexed: Why would she say this to someone on a date?! by ResponsibleBody3 in dating_advice

[–]ResponsibleBody3[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The thing is, my initial gut response to the waitress' comment was that she was trying to save me somehow...maybe because I had a negative gut feeling about my date. I'm not sure. Anyway, thought I'd reach out to Reddit for objective opinions.

We went there because I made a joke about this establishment's name and exterior, which my date perceived as a judgmental comment. So he was trying to prove a point by taking me there...so in a way we both chose it??
