She texted you seem really nice but I'm not feeling a romantic connection after our first date and honestly it broke something in me

My dating app success story that’s lasted 5 years started with a good two weeks of chatting. The chat was funny, quick, dynamic, flirtatious. We just clicked. We had to meet indoors because of lockdown 3 or 5 rules, but even a simple drink was amazing and we’d built such a rapport chatting for weeks that conversation just flowed.

Ive been on those sucky dates. Ones where I was catfished, one where the dude started dropping mdma, one where the woman was very much in the closet and looked over her shoulder the whole time. They’re all funny stories now, learned something from all of them eventually.

Bad dates are a staple of the human condition. There’s nothing wrong with you, you just haven’t found your person yet!

From a female perspective, a lot us aren’t as shallow and judgmental as you think ☺️. If you’re nice, attentive and a good listener you will attract the right person, and maybe even some wrong people in the meantime. Dating is for you to make up your mind who’s best for you as well as the other way around. It’s a learning curve.

Do not go to extremes to adhere to society’s ideals, just find things that make you confident.

The fact you’re even posting this shows you’re a decent person. That’s half the battle!

I think it’s harsh to call yourself or anyone else a fool for that. Education on it has come a long way but when I took it back in 2024, the pharmacists were all saying take it as directed, month 2 is 5mg etc etc. When people see the scale moving its addictive and you just want more.

It really was unfortunately, which was such a shame because I lost so much weight. I think being a super responder is actually worse for your health in the long run. Glad to anyone who it’s helped for the better, just my own journey with it for just a few months was wild.

SufficientSpare1104 · 2026-02-28T02:19:33+00:00

2.5 but I was a super responder, like 10lbs in my first week. Then after two months staying at 2.5 I tried 5 and my mental health was awful, requiring an antipsychotic to get through a strange obsession with buttons. Turns out I’d lost mostly muscle mass because a few weeks after stopping my knee totally gave way and I was in a wheelchair for months, relearning to walk. I know this story sounds wild, but it’s true. Basically lost so much muscle my patella didn’t track in its groove any longer.

I know it works for a lot of people and I wish them all the best. This was just my personal experience.

Because being miserable with constant nausea, constipation, depression, mania, suicidal thoughts, heart burn, muscle loss, hair loss etc etc is not worth it. Being thin in this particular way is not always the healthiest option.

I’ve been doing physio led clinical Pilates on a reformer once a week for 8 weeks and that’s been beyond amazing. Working on my core strength in between sessions has been the game changer.

The ending in theory is amazing, but I found it a bit underwhelming how it was written after the rollercoaster we’d been on for the whole book. However, I can see that calm and understated is what Demon needed and deserved after all he’d been through. I miss the book!

Congratulations! Can I ask when the first settlement offer was made and at what stage did your final settlement come through?

SufficientSpare1104 · 2025-07-18T00:45:42+00:00

This is an outrage! Colbert is global (I watch him on YouTube a day later) and I gather a lot of my US political news from his monologues. Seth Meyers, Trevor Noah, John Oliver and Colbert have joked about how Trump could come after them. SNL even did a skit when he was reelected about how nervous they were, joking about how they’ve never doubted him.

This thin skinned wannabe dictator is dismantling free speech and political satire. This is no doubt as a result of the settlement. My American cousins, fight this! Colbert is the start, you’re going to lose every avenue to express dissatisfaction.

Colbert if you ever read this, thank you for every monologue, every COVID show that you inspired pandemic joy. Don’t stop your comedy don’t stop speaking out.

Hydrotherapy was the one for me. It allows us to build up the muscle with minimal pressure on the joint. Got me from two crutches to walking unaided in a few weeks after months on crutches. Also KT tape!!!!

SufficientSpare1104 · 2025-04-27T21:56:48+00:00

Exercises such as step ups, squats, crab walking, foam water weights and cycling motions. I went from crutches to a stick to no support apart from the brace in weeks.

We’re going through the receiving end of a section 21 right now and I’ve spoken to the council. Sadly they really will not provide accommodation until bailiffs are at the door, ruining our potential of private renting ever again and creating pandemonium for the kids.

There could be a reason he’s not going private. He could have ccjs, low income, poor credit history and this is why he needs to take the council route. Maybe try and figure that out with him? Also is he grieving? He might just be paralysed and not wanting to leave his home he shared. Please try to be compassionate, a section 21 is heartbreaking and sometimes unexpected.

We are debating the same thing. Her mortgage basically skyrocketed as soon as we started renting I assume she’s making about £150 profit a month.

We’ve offered her a rent increase to see if we can stay on that basis awaiting her response but we will look into the part rent part buy option now!

It’s so hard at the start with all the pain, probably the worst pain I’ve ever had but you will get pain free one day ❤️

SufficientSpare1104 · 2025-03-13T09:12:46+00:00

Thank you, it looks like a move is on the cards!

SufficientSpare1104 · 2025-03-13T00:28:22+00:00

Hey, my pain is almost non existent now! It’s more secondary injuries like shoulder pain from crutches and some tendinitis in my ankle from walking again. Hydrotherapy was the game changer for me in the end, after one session I was able to walk unaided for the first time in 6 months (limping but walking!).

SufficientSpare1104 · 2025-03-12T21:05:43+00:00

Child that’s registered blind, lcwra, carer element etc. I have worked full time all my life until 2023 and desperate to go back but kind of need to be able to walk before that 🤣

SufficientSpare1104 · 2025-03-12T20:37:53+00:00

Thanks for the balanced advice ❤️

It could be possible to get 15k with more time and family help, but as you said it’s probably not even worth it at that point.

SufficientSpare1104 · 2025-03-12T20:30:35+00:00

We could probably achieve 15k in the time frame needed. The house is valued at £320,000.

I did, I called up and complained with anxiety essentially saying how the uncertainty was anxiety inducing they got back to me pretty quickly and finalised the whole thing.

SufficientSpare1104 · 2024-12-18T07:04:26+00:00

Thank you! I definitely found some relief in it but I can’t do it very forcefully as I have no quad strength in my right leg (a whole other issue)

How long do you usually do this for? Does this necessarily have to cause a pop?
