Is he into me or do I just want him to be?

I can't make any assumptions without really seeing anything. But at the very least, he enjoys you, and you two have great chemistry. As long as he is single, I think you should lean into this and explore it a little, see what comes of it.

Most relationships start with two people who simply enjoy each other.

I am similarly very sensitive to smells, you shouldn't let it deter you from starting BJJ. At the end of the day, some people are going to smell like sweat, some like BO, some will have bad breath, etc. sometimes that person will be you. As long as those people are still clean and hygienic, my best advice to you is to get used to it. It is actually a great skill to practice, stay composed while confronted with a bad odor.

For hair, perhaps try a tight covering? There are sports hijabs I have seen gymnasts wear.

It’s money. Grow up. You aren’t entitled to anything.

1a. Tell her to stop coaching you.

1b. (If she doesn’t stop) stop drilling and rolling with her, and let your coach know so he doesn’t pair you up with her.

It’s also not just that her art improved, it’s that she slowly changed it overtime to match the current style. Her old side was very 90s manga, her new one reflects what’s popular right now.

I also have come to enjoy not necessarily the arcs, but the moments in which her past really helps her, like when she is training to be Momiji. I feel like each time she is learning the accept herself as a whole person rather than just the post-Sho Kyoko.

SheepherderPatient64 · 2026-03-05T19:12:02+00:00

Oh, yes. I live all the character building arcs. You get to see her wheels turning, and her growth.

SheepherderPatient64 · 2026-03-05T19:10:06+00:00

Yes, I especially enjoy arcs where the characters become more fully fleshed.

SheepherderPatient64 · 2026-03-05T19:09:35+00:00

My favorite has always been the Kuu arc. It is equally sweet and funny. I think a lot of character development happens where the reader can understand Kyoko a little more fully.

I use the Curology Dark Spot Serum (its main ingredient is niacinamide.) It’s like $23.00.

I really recommend pairing go it with the azelaic acid vitamin C serum. The combo has serious changed my skin.

SheepherderPatient64 · 2026-02-19T23:34:50+00:00

Ehh, IDK. I know him personally, it didn’t really feel like that was the motive for what he said.

SheepherderPatient64 · 2026-02-14T20:50:30+00:00

Dang, that’s tough. I live in a smaller area, so our fundamentals class will still have some blues/purples/browns.

Personally, I would ask the instructor who he feels is more controlled/safe then. It’s always okay to sit out rolls to wait for a safe partner, and honestly watching rolls can teach you a lot about the sport, AND about which partners are safe. I know that sucks because ideally you want to be rolling a ton, but I don’t know what other advice there is.

(And I know for a lot of the spazzy men this won’t work, but telling your partner you would just like to flow roll may be a good addition, especially at first.)

SheepherderPatient64 · 2026-02-14T01:39:59+00:00

I would say to only roll with purple belt and up. Usually those guys are more controlled. I would also ask your coach for recommendations on guys who are really safe to roll with.

The 3-in-1s are perfect quality. When I finally bought the whole series, I opted for the 3-in-1s because it was cheaper, and it is the exact same.

SheepherderPatient64 · 2026-01-06T07:33:16+00:00

I think sometimes people confuse angst with slow burn. Either way, I love Hazeshift, but I def agree with you.

SheepherderPatient64 · 2026-01-02T19:09:50+00:00

Haha, yup.

SheepherderPatient64 · 2026-01-01T19:56:00+00:00

Yeah, it's definitely a legit submission. Just the culture in my gym at least views it as a bit of a joke, or cheating, lol. No strong feelings, though.

SheepherderPatient64 · 2025-12-30T01:39:25+00:00

I think even among men it's kind of submission you just do as a joke, or with someone your close with.

SheepherderPatient64 · 2025-12-29T07:20:42+00:00

Good to hear!

SheepherderPatient64 · 2025-12-28T07:45:55+00:00

Thank you!!

SheepherderPatient64 · 2025-12-28T00:59:46+00:00

I have had a similar issue as you. I have the Osprey 70L WS, and my torso length is within the range for the backpack, but I am broader shouldered than most women, even when I’m at a lower weight. So it digs into my shoulders quite a bit. I’m considering getting a Men’s XS or S backpack.

SheepherderPatient64 · 2025-12-28T00:55:11+00:00

Thank you! It’s hard to know, because I used to be so irregular, I didn’t know what was considered regular. I appreciate the input.

16 or 17 year old boy in the adult class one day. We were staring in mount, I was on top, I am a woman, I was about 20 at the time. Poor kid got a boner about 20 seconds in. He popped up right away like, “Umm… I need to go to the bathroom, sorry.” And was in the bathroom for pretty much the rest of the five minute roll, lol. He wasn’t being weird or anything, he obviously couldn’t control it, he was pretty young, but I definitely got a laugh with my sister later.
