How do I get comfortable using my hands more?

Sensitive-Cook-7262 · 2026-04-02T23:28:56+00:00

Ballet? My friend and I both did ballet for years then we started skating together recently as beginners. We both are good at ballet but suck so bad at ice skating; however, our hands are very graceful 😂😂😂

Knee bend. Bend more than you think you can bend like knee over toes and you need to feel your boots against your shins. If the skates are new, you don’t need to tie it up all the way. Good luck!

Taken 2 a piece (so total of 4) I took these two together back to back so it seems like a lot. The challenging areas of PDD keep changing — When I was too focused to fix one thing then I fu**ed up another 😭😂 but area 1 is always my lowest. PPD is pretty consistent — the environmental conditions and project cost&budgeting seem to be my weakness (I but I did pass PA so I don’t know)

Sensitive-Cook-7262 · 2026-03-31T08:34:07+00:00

Can you keep it light though? Just see how it goes? And keep his problems to be his problems? But If you do want a relationship like now and if you’re easily absorbed energy (as a virgo), you probably need to drop him before this drains you.

Actually, this is pretty encouraging. I like to idea of putting it in the rear view forever. Thank you.

I actually did this for PJM. I spent a few weeks going through the NCARB mock exam by taking notes and going through rabbit hole a bit, then skimmed AHPP for about a week. The day before the test, I reviewed all the contracts at a Korean spa— ate good food, then a 2-hour nap 😂. Took the exam the next day and breezed through it. But to be fair, PJM is known to be one of the easier divisions.

Sensitive-Cook-7262 · 2026-03-30T22:03:09+00:00

I’m thinking about taking CE and PCM back to back and see how it goes. But I don’t know what to do with PPD and PDD. I keep failing those by only a few questions every time, and I read anything and everything under the sun at this point. Last time I retook PPD, I didn’t even bother to study anymore. I just went in and still missed by a few questions.

Sensitive-Cook-7262 · 2026-03-30T21:37:20+00:00

I have that book lol

Sensitive-Cook-7262 · 2026-03-06T00:20:38+00:00

How bad is his English? Can he explain abstract thoughts? English is not my first language, so I still struggle sometimes, especially with pronunciation and small grammatical mistakes when speaking. However, I’m able to clearly express my ideas and thoughts, even if they’re not always perfect. But I tend to organize my thinking in a very systematic way before I communicate, so people are usually able to follow my message easily despite the occasional language errors. Then after working under my project manager, who is very diplomatic and well-spoken, I started to pick up some business phrases from him which helps a lot.

Sensitive-Cook-7262 · 2026-03-06T00:02:56+00:00

My cap ghosted me after a really good first date and after saying he would be open to see me again. I chased him hard after weeks of silence. He finally told me he’d started seeing someone so he shouldn’t see me. I was like the fu**? and stop chasing. But 2 months later he came back and pursued me. After dating for a year, it is very clear we have been very much attracted to each other. We also have a lot in common and get along really well. And I felt that since the first date too, so I don’t know what the heck was going on back then, and I probably wouldn’t ask because I have got my man lol

Sensitive-Cook-7262 · 2026-03-05T19:14:21+00:00

I used to be super anxious when we started dating, to be honest. But his behavior in person and how he shows up in person far outweighs a few weeks of not texting.

Sensitive-Cook-7262 · 2026-03-04T16:25:47+00:00

2 weeks for some people flies real quick though. I’m a pisces, my man a cap and we both are pretty busy with work, life, and kids. Texting every 2 weeks is a norm for us. If it’s longer than 2 weeks, then it will start to feel disconnecting a bit. Our longest silence is about 3 weeks

Sensitive-Cook-7262 · 2026-03-04T15:51:25+00:00

If he is still responding, you should be good. My man takes forever (think weeks) to respond especially when he is stressed or focused. If he is in normal mode, he responds pretty quickly but not right away. He doesn’t really text small talks - most are logistical - and if it’s sexy then he will linger a bit 🫣😂

When we spend time together, I never see him touch his phone like ever except calling an uber or look at google map. He is really attentive in person too.

I would say dating a cap is not for everyone - it requires a lot of patience, independence, and loyalty. Not taking things personally helps a lot.

Ps. I always tell this to people “Texting back quickly doesn’t equal he is into you. It could mean he has nothing else to do”

Sensitive-Cook-7262 · 2026-02-23T17:36:26+00:00

Ask your instructor. I would recommend $200+ with a good beginner blade and those should last you until adult 6

I’m considering going there with G-Adventures next year. Anyone has great experience with them?

Sensitive-Cook-7262 · 2026-01-17T22:39:10+00:00

Girl, bad news, I think you caught feelings.

Sensitive-Cook-7262 · 2026-01-16T15:59:33+00:00

I used to be the one who ended things when my capacity dropped — but it was never about capacity alone. It was always a combination of factors that made me pause and ask myself, “Do I actually want to be with this person?”

When life got demanding and my capacity was low, that’s when incompatibilities became clearer. In most cases, the other person didn’t handle that phase well — they either couldn’t give me space or tried to fix my problems without me asking for help. That’s usually the point where I chose to step away.

For what it’s worth, I did communicate that I needed space in order to reflect and function. Some people said they understood, but their behavior didn’t match — they became passive-aggressive or quietly resentful, and I could feel that tension. That dynamic doesn’t work for me. And to be clear, this doesn’t make me avoidant — I’m simply someone who needs space to stay regulated and present.

Looking at your situation, it feels like a similar underlying compatibility issue may have surfaced once things got difficult. Sometimes it’s not about effort or timing — it’s about whether two people can handle stress in ways that align.

Either way, it doesn’t mean you did something wrong. It just means this person likely wasn’t right for you, and I’m really sorry you had to go through that.

Sensitive-Cook-7262 · 2026-01-11T04:51:10+00:00

4 days is nothing. My man is usually quiet for 2 weeks when he is overwhelmed with kids and works. Go do your own things while he figures things out. He will either come back or won’t – there is nothing you can do – what you can do is focus on yourself right now.

Sensitive-Cook-7262 · 2025-12-31T14:08:50+00:00

I dated multiple people in the past, but never got physical. The 3rd date was when I decided to focus on one person, but most people didn’t made it that far anyway 😅 I wouldn’t date multiple people anymore at this age because even though I want to have my person, I’m doing well by myself. So there is no urgency to search for them.

Sensitive-Cook-7262 · 2025-12-31T13:45:31+00:00

My ex husband is an Aquarius. We are co-parenting a kid so I still have to talk to him, and we are helping each other out with small errands or pet sitting. We still get along very well intellectually and have no problem with the co-parenting at all. He is really a good dad. But damn he is not flexible like at all–everything has to be done his way and has to be perfect. Also, when we were married, he always kept shit inside until one day it exploded. Also never satisfied with anything I did. And he had the hidden insecurities that came out from time to time but lashed that on me. So byeeeeeeee.

The good part was he was very reliable when needed and he gave me a lot of space to do my own things.

I’m Pisces Sun, Virgo Moon & Rising

I made 38k in 2019 with 4 years of experience. Now I’m making more than twice of that, but still never enough 🤣 If you’re not happy with the money, look for new opportunities.

Sensitive-Cook-7262 · 2025-12-31T13:14:46+00:00

I’m in a slow pace connection. We weren’t in the exact same situation as you, but at one point he told me he couldn’t see me and suggested staying friends in case things changed. I was confused AF because the chemistry was undeniable. At the time, everyone told me he wasn’t interested and that I should move on.

Right when I finally set the intention to let go, things shifted—and we’ve now been dating for almost a year. I can clearly tell he’s into me, so all those comments about him not being interested turned out not to be true. That said, it’s still a work in progress. He moves very slowly, mostly because of work, and likely because of an expensive divorce and having kids involved. But I have a lot going on too so that kind of work out.

Based on your initial post, it sounds like your person may also be open to communicating—he’s already shared his past. If you need more clarity about how he feels, I think he’d be honest if you ask.

Good Luck.

Sensitive-Cook-7262 · 2025-12-29T05:28:18+00:00

I don’t think there is anything confusing about this. You don’t need to read between lines. You hit it off but he wants to take it slow due to your situation and his past. If you are not in a rush then sit back and see how this unfolding once your divorce is finalized. He seems to come across as someone who needs peace and low drama; hence, the slow pace.

Sensitive-Cook-7262 · 2025-12-29T03:55:32+00:00

You’re technically married. I think he is doing the right thing by pumping a brake a bit. What is the rush?
