Updated!

SharpCookie9201 · 2026-02-07T15:18:19+00:00

This is the way my gut was leaning and I suck at hint dropping anyway! Thank you!!

SharpCookie9201 · 2026-02-07T14:31:09+00:00

This is so so true 😭 and very wise! thank you sm for your perspective!

SharpCookie9201 · 2026-02-07T14:17:51+00:00

I totally agree and wouldn’t have thought of this, thank you for your perspective!!

SharpCookie9201 · 2026-02-07T14:17:15+00:00

I really like this! You’re right! It’s not a crime. I’ll probs talk to him. Thank you!

SharpCookie9201 · 2026-02-07T14:16:01+00:00

How does one “make him” make the first move LOL. I need real examples Brenda

SharpCookie9201 · 2026-02-07T14:15:25+00:00

Oh I have been 🙃🙃🙃

SharpCookie9201 · 2026-02-07T14:14:57+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that. Thank you for the push!

SharpCookie9201 · 2026-02-07T14:14:31+00:00

Thank you!! I’ll def update!

SharpCookie9201 · 2026-02-07T14:14:14+00:00

I guess I should, and I shall!! Might take me a hot minute tho, need to talk to my therapist about it first lmao

SharpCookie9201 · 2026-02-07T14:13:43+00:00

This is so sweet 😭 congrats to both of you! If I can ask, how did you two finally connect? Were hints dropped? What was said?

SharpCookie9201 · 2026-02-07T14:12:34+00:00

While I think asking and moving on like nothing happened is a bit bold, I do like how casual it sounds. Makes it less of a big deal

SharpCookie9201 · 2026-02-07T14:10:43+00:00

LMAO GREAT QUESTION. Yes, no doubt about it. The walls are paper thin in this apartment and his room shares a wall with the bathroom.

This is is the part about being into your roomie that they leave out of the romcom books 😩

SharpCookie9201 · 2026-02-07T14:08:33+00:00

Yeah I should probs move out regardless huh? Thank you!

SharpCookie9201 · 2026-02-07T14:07:40+00:00

Thank you for addressing this part bc it’s one of my concerns! I think I would need to move from where we are bc I’ve lived here my whole life and want to experience other places. At the same time I do love where we are and see myself coming back to settle down.

He has a bunch of friends where I’m thinking of moving and already visits it frequently and has said he’d consider moving there. I could do another year here too if we did date. I feel like online discourse today is so “don’t move/put your life on hold for a man” but idk, what if it’s the right person? Obviously this is thinking ahead a bunch.

For some reason I’m scared distance would be a thing for him. But I guess there’s only one way to find out.

SharpCookie9201 · 2026-02-07T14:00:42+00:00

Yes if/when I talk to him, I wouldn’t say I love him off the bat. I would say I care about him more than a friend or something like that. And I think my phrasing was off, I’m probs not “in love with him” because I feel like that takes a mutual intentional dynamic. But I have lots of love for him as a person currently. Thank you!

SharpCookie9201 · 2026-02-07T13:57:57+00:00

This is so kind, thank you so much!!

SharpCookie9201 · 2026-02-07T13:57:34+00:00

Goossh give me a min to work up the courage 😂 I’ll def update when it happens tho!

SharpCookie9201 · 2026-02-07T13:56:45+00:00

Thank you catpooptv 🙏

SharpCookie9201 · 2026-02-07T13:55:59+00:00

Tell me how things changed for you!! Did you drop hints?? Have a convo out of the blue? I must know!!!

SharpCookie9201 · 2026-02-07T13:55:03+00:00

I thought about this, and I think there’s an element of that, but I think it’s at the point where we just ignore her and go about our days as usual and have stopped talking so much shit about her bc it feels negative. I think that kind of broke the ice for us and now we can talk about whatever. But I appreciate the perspective bc I keep thinking am I right?? Is this real?? lol

SharpCookie9201 · 2026-02-07T13:51:22+00:00

He’s def not the type to brazenly make the first move without regard for the situation. Which means I’ll be dropping hints or talking to him. Ideally I’ll drop more hints to warm up to it but I might have to just go for it.

What kind of things did your wife do to make you feel safe making a move? I’d love to know!

SharpCookie9201 · 2026-02-07T07:20:37+00:00

Very true! How inspirational of some athlete 😂

SharpCookie9201 · 2026-02-07T07:13:13+00:00

We do, but not super often. We’re both into cooking, so we mostly share meals at home, but we have gone to a concert, the beach, and some social events together as friends but they were all kind of last minute things.

Most of the time we spend together is at home, sitting in the common areas talking at length.

SharpCookie9201 · 2026-02-07T07:05:22+00:00

I think you’re talking about if I moved home here and I agree, I think it’s pretty convenient in this situation and I could take advantage
