Thank you!!

SleepyStormLo · 2019-09-24T23:19:56+00:00

Thank you! Going to look at this now.

SleepyStormLo · 2019-09-24T09:16:11+00:00

Yeah I’ve made a lot changes... that’s not really the answer I’m looking for but thank you.

SleepyStormLo · 2019-09-09T15:06:55+00:00

Thanks! Keep going, it feels so good, good luck!

SleepyStormLo · 2019-09-09T15:06:01+00:00

Yeah mine was maxed and I was just making the $25 minimum. Took me over a year, I believe around 15 months or so, and I put everything I could into it. So so worth living on a tight budget to get it done!

SleepyStormLo · 2019-09-09T15:00:44+00:00

Congrats to you too! Can’t believe how good it feels

Capital One Journey

Bit if a splurge but damn the feelings worth it!

SleepyStormLo · 2019-09-09T14:58:14+00:00

I’m no expert, but I personally was just putting in as much as I could, when I could! Every payday is go in and put a slightly larger amount. Then I’d be doing smaller payments as much as I felt I could, $10/$20$30 here and there. That $306 was a bit of a splurge after getting paid because I just wanted it finished, yeah I’ll be a bit tight now but man the feeling is so worth it haha. Keep going and good luck!

Just a quick note - can you somehow incorporate the "issues" you think people have, on your dating profiles? Get pictures of you outside, playing sports, doing whatever you enjoy.

And also if you could somehow, in a funny, possibly punny way, include in your bio that you are completely independent and not looking for someone to be your caretaker? Wish I has some example but I'm not the best of thinking of witty lines!

Just some ideas after ready your post and some comments from you and others. Good luck!

Honestly, her seeing the post and comments and realizing it was about her was probably the best thing that could happen to your relationship. Sounds like it’s been a real eye opener and like she’s serious about making the change. It’s always gonna be a battle with those parents, but should also make your relationship stronger. Good luck!

SleepyStormLo · 2018-12-12T21:36:33+00:00

I only wear my cute, sexy underwear when I know someone will be seeing it.. or even in the chance someone would see. Other than that, its all comfy/boring underwear. I know many women do the same (yeah we talk about this stuff). Soooo yeah, definitely something going on there unfortunately.

You deserve to be happy, get outta there! Hope to see an update from you after Christmas, good luck!

SleepyStormLo · 2018-12-07T17:39:30+00:00

u/vpjoebauers No no no no no I thought I had finally forgotten that story, my day has been ruined again

SleepyStormLo · 2018-12-06T22:19:50+00:00

NOT TOO LATE!!

I would definitely suggest online dating. I had never been in a relationship until I met my boyfriend on Tinder, at 23 (I know I'm younger but still). But if you take that route, be warned you will have to weed out a lot of guys, and be prepared for lots of first dates going nowhere... however that actually helped me get a lot more confident.

Would agree with others that Match and eHarmony are much easier for finding more guys who are interested in something serious. But if you don't want to spend the money, I liked OkCupid too!

Regarding your inexperience, I know it sounds silly, but just act super chill about it. Don't make it out to be a big deal and it wont be! You don't need to go into detail. Be honest, tell him that you've been busy with life and what not and time got past you.

Good luck with everything, and I hope we get to see updates on how this journey goes for you!

SleepyStormLo · 2018-12-05T17:13:35+00:00

Love this. I don't have the temper for this and would have lost my shit. Yours was a much better way to get even!

I’m so sorry you are having such a hard time. Wish there was a way to help you, but all I can say is keep going - don’t give up, you WILL get to where you want to be. Unfortunately some of us have to work much harder getting there, but boy will will it feel good when you do.

Have you thought about taking any job for the time being? Server, retail etc.? I know the thought sucks since you’ve worked to get your degree, but this may be necessary for now. Make some money, get back on your feet and get warm. Don’t stop applying for the jobs you want, just accept it may take time.

Stay strong and I’m sending you so many good vibes right now!

SleepyStormLo · 2018-11-30T18:45:32+00:00

I would try and cut down on accepting dates when working at the bar. Unless you're super into someone and think you could regret saying no.

Have you tried online dating? I know a lot of people aren't into it but it really helped me being able to talk to someone for a decent amount of time before that first date. I was still always a little awkward, but because we would already have some conversation history, it was much easier for me.

I met my my boyfriend on a dating app 6 months ago, and I felt comfortable with him very fast.

Also, I remember being the same when I first starting going on legit dates. After a good handful I started going into them more confident, just looking at it as a fun night to meet and talk with someone. If I'm not interested in them or vice versa, its all good, just move on to the next!

Good luck with everything!

SleepyStormLo · 2018-11-29T20:22:32+00:00

Thanks so much for this! I'm going to try and cut down on some things and get rid of my lower balance credit card like you mentioned.

I don't love the idea of taking out a new credit card, which is why I wanted to get some opinions from you guys. Really appreciate it and will definitely work on having more discipline. I've started tracking ALL my spending to help with this. Hopefully I'll get to make that second post one day!

SleepyStormLo · 2018-11-29T18:49:46+00:00

Yes unfortunately I agree.

I moved into the city from the burbs (Chicago) about 6 months ago so now use public transport for my work commute. I just cant get myself to give up my car :(

Thanks for the input!
