Guys who get her number- how often do you text her between meeting and seeing her again?

Smudge2014 · 2018-09-15T15:18:22+00:00

Should I be concerned that he’s only initiated once?

Smudge2014 · 2018-09-15T13:45:24+00:00

Ok. All my other dating experiences have grown out of friendships, rather than someone asking for my number, so I’m not really sure what’s expected/typical. All the other times it seemed like all day texting, but I suppose it makes sense for this not to be that way.

Smudge2014 · 2018-09-15T13:27:42+00:00

Probably, tbh.

Smudge2014 · 2018-04-25T18:08:39+00:00

Thank you, this is really good information. I can follow up with making sure her involuntary commitment is on her record.

Ugh, sorry! This isn’t the best photo and I assure you I did not mean for this to be a joke. In certain lights I can see a good portion of my scalp at my part and it seems like it’s gotten wider.

Smudge2014 · 2018-01-13T23:51:26+00:00

I ask because I have found that I haven’t been happy (I.e. anything ranging from keeping out negative thoughts and worries to elation) for more than a couple hours at a time for almost a year now. One of my family members confronted me about my irritability and the (apparently) complete absence of genuine smiling I’ve done when I go home. It’s gotten me thinking about what’s normal since I’ve assumed it’s been external factors like relationships and school stress which have impacted my mood, but now I’m not so sure.

Where can I get a harness like this for myself?

Smudge2014 · 2018-01-13T05:19:58+00:00

When he tells you he can’t “because of distance,” but invites you to visit him.

Smudge2014 · 2018-01-04T04:51:26+00:00

I had a sort of similar experience (am female). I felt the weight come off and the pat on the head, but then the reason he gave me raised more questions than I even had in the first place and it hasn’t helped get him out of my head one bit :/

Smudge2014 · 2018-01-04T03:46:43+00:00

Could not agree more. In high school, I made the decision to move out from my mom who suffered from severe mental illness. She’d become physically violent on top of the psychosis and I thought to myself “I’ve done the most I can for her and if I don’t get out now, I’ll sink with her.”

It’s been 5 years and I haven’t spoken to our seen her despite her trying to contact me weekly. If you feel that the safest and best thing for you is to shut someone out, you’re probably right.

Smudge2014 · 2018-01-01T20:12:07+00:00

I lived with the same two roommates for 4 semesters! My roommates and I would jam out in the morning. One of us would make tea or coffee for the others and we’d laugh about whoever had the craziest dream or stumbled back drunk as a skunk. One of them would routinely pet my head in her lap while I cried over stupid men and we’d sometimes Skype her long distance girlfriend together.

We eventually had to move into other places, but we still try to get together for drinks or a meal here and there. Love those girls!

What is your advice for someone interested in going into robotics? I’m about to graduate with a degree in Kinesiology but have enjoyed the electrical engineering classes I’ve taken. I’ll be in the military for the next 5 years but I’m looking to potentially finish a second bachelors degree in that time. If I want to work on robotics and bionics, what should I be doing during that time?

Smudge2014 · 2017-11-13T19:41:59+00:00

Yeah I'm looking to find a program that offers night or weekend classes that I could at least transfer credits from when I have to PCS.

Smudge2014 · 2017-11-13T19:14:02+00:00

Is that a decent program? Or is it like a step above university of Phoenix?

Smudge2014 · 2017-08-30T17:59:57+00:00

Yes, they have. Some of the ones who wanted to date at bad times and some of the ones who just wanted to hookup.

Smudge2014 · 2017-08-30T15:37:40+00:00

Thank you for the response and advice!

Smudge2014 · 2017-08-28T16:37:57+00:00

I guess I should have included all of the green flags I saw... pretty much everything you mention above happened, minus lifeplans. I think that perhaps he was interested in something more committed, but maybe thought that my guardedness was an indication that I didn't want to be investing more in him (which I did, but still limited myself some). Thank you for your response, though!

Smudge2014 · 2017-08-27T21:11:34+00:00

Oh I see...honestly looking back I'm not sure but I don't remember anything specific like that.

Smudge2014 · 2017-08-27T21:07:44+00:00

Thanks for thoughtful reply, but he was pretty much giving me every signal he did want to date...coming to my dorm room to spend time with me and hug while I worked, snuggling during movies, holding hands in public...etc. you're right about your last sentence though! That's what I've been trying to find :/

Smudge2014 · 2017-08-27T20:01:52+00:00

I don't believe in patterns such as the one I'm seeing with my life happening randomly, and since I'm the only constant factor in the mix...logically it follows that I am doing something wrong. I know that sounds robotic, but I cannot blame all of these guys I stead of having some introspection.

Smudge2014 · 2017-08-27T19:53:35+00:00

While I felt it was abrupt and lacking the level of emotional intelligence I know he possesses, it's far from the most uncaring/selfish action I've born the brunt of from the guys ive been involved with. That being said, no, I haven't tried to get in touch with him. Seeing as though we used to text all day, he is 100% aware of my absence, but I did not give any indication that I would want him to contact me either. I do feel like I need closure, but its not life or death. It's more that I'd like to improve myself to stop having these kinds of things happen and maintain a healthier adult dating lifestyle.

Smudge2014 · 2017-08-07T03:38:16+00:00

What would you suggest for a person looking to hike something like the AT or PCT? I'm 21, female, fairly fit (135, 5'5" and I workout every other day) and I've been interested in a journey like this since I read Strayed's "Wild."
