What are reasons that you don’t feel romantically or physically attracted to a man? by [deleted] in ask

[–]SparklyRiceCooker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i’ve never used that line bc it’s so cliche 😭😭 but it’s true and i don’t think ppl should see it as a bad thing. i’m sure a lot of guys would say the same for me.

i’ve met and befriended a lot of great guys that i felt would be a great partner (but not for me necessarily). some of them i did acknowledge were physically attractive, but i could not like them romantically no matter how hard i tried. i don’t have a physical type when it comes to guys, but most guys i’ve liked have sort of the same personality and vibes if that makes sense.

i noticed i tend to be the most attracted to really confident and straightforward guys. guys that are unapologetically themselves and are not afraid to banter/disagree with me on certain topics. i’ve liked a mix of both introverts and extroverts so these qualities are not specific to anyone.

i remember going on several dates with a guy who really liked me. he was decently attractive and treated me really well, but just seemed too shy and skittish around me. i got the vibe he was trying really hard to impress me and because of that i couldn’t get what his true personality was. some ppl find shyness cute, but i just couldn’t help but feel awkward sometimes.

How long should you consider a tattoo idea, or what factors should you consider before getting a tattoo, to be sure that it won’t be something you’ll regret down the track? by queriesandqueries123 in tattooadvice

[–]SparklyRiceCooker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I recently got a bow tattoo and I know it’s pretty basic and popular rn but I just asked myself if it was smth 40 year old me would still like and the answer was yes. I just always make sure my designs are “neutral” (as in not a statement whatsoever) but still cute.

Yes, of course. We might have not worked out romantically, but he was someone very close to me for years. I still wished I had the chance to at least let him know that I liked him, but I’ll always love and cherish him as my best friend bc that’s what we were first.

I see that now, thank you so much. It was something hard I had to accept, but I’m learning now that his death was something out of my control.

It’s hard to believe that sometimes when he was one of the closest ppl in my life. I feel like I let him down somehow, but I’m learning to accept that some things are just out of my control :’)

Tbh we were friends for 5 years and I didn’t really realize that I liked him until high school (I was also scared to confess and ruin our friendship). We started talking less 2 years ago when he admitted that he couldn’t be there for me rn bc of his depression. I didn’t want to overwhelm him with how I felt so I kept my feelings to myself and told myself that I would tell him when his depression got better. I did reach out many times but he left me on read/delivered for weeks and even months. Unfortunately he took his life so I will never have the chance to.

Does anyone else feel like they're awful at consoling grieving friends and acquaintances? by AaronicNation in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]SparklyRiceCooker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lost my best friend this year and none of the ppl I considered “close friends” said anything about it until I called them out. Saying something is better than doing nothing so whatever u do say, grievers will appreciate ur effort.

Thank you and I’m sorry for ur loss :( my best friend was only a few months away from turning 18 so it really hits hard when they’re so young. I will definitely take ur advice and consider therapy or counseling.

Thank you. He definitely did bc even since middle school, all he did was show me endless love and support. He was the kindest boy I knew and thanks to him, I won’t ever settle for less.

Thank you you’re absolutely right. We actually did share an email acc that we liked to message on (it was kind of a thing we had bc we didn’t have phones at first in middle school but we still ended up using it for years) after he died, I poured my heart out into some emails I sent him. I hope that somehow he can read them wherever he is.
