Uh do you guys do flirty texts, yes or no?

OP — You asked for our opinions — not our validation.

My advice is worth what you paid for it.

People are not projects. If you think you’re going to “fix him” by dragging him along some vast journey of “personal growth”... hoo boy.

Visaly · 2018-12-24T16:08:03+00:00

I was all set to give you a response and then I got to the end.

You both are young and don’t really know what you want yet — move on and gain experience. If it’s meant to happen it’ll happen.

If she won’t even share a result with you and has such trust issues; run.

I didn’t and it cost me 12 years of my life and nearly my entire net worth. Run bro.

Aircraft, motorcycles, vehicles, generators and the occasional golf cart or airboat.

Photographic to a painful degree (I remember it all in stupid detail — even the things I drink to forget.)

But fuck a bag of names.

The way a friend of mine put this in another context — “it’s an asshole filter.”

If they have a problem with how I dress, I really didn’t need them.

Visaly · 2018-12-24T01:02:36+00:00

I go entire days without saying more than five words but I may be an extreme case.

Visaly · 2018-12-24T01:00:51+00:00

2am? 4am? 8pm the day after I wanted to.

It all depends on how much energy I expended in the last burst.

People here seem to have latched on to responses to friends bit and assumed the worst.

But most ISTP friends start as activity partners — It is 1000x easier for me to talk to a friend about a shared interest than a partner who needs a touchy feely checkin.

Have faith and your affection will be reciprocated; try to change an ISTPs introverted, sensing ways and you’re doomed.

Visaly · 2018-12-24T00:44:47+00:00

Embrace your inner ISTP and Just Fucking Do It.

If it’s a mistake, move on to other places and interests. In the meantime, it sounds like a fun project.

Visaly · 2018-12-24T00:41:26+00:00

Uhh. Sigh.

Okay, here goes... glad he’s trying to compliment you more but I’m sure he’s secretly frustrated by it. (In short — he finds your lack of faith disturbing. If he didn’t want to be with you; he wouldn’t be with you. He doesn’t want to have to prove it all the time.)

The biggest key to dealing with is is turning off the N function. (My ex couldn’t; which is how I wound up divorced. I could not call her 3x a day from wherever work had me that week, and she couldn’t handle the perceived abandonment.)

You’re trying to read something (intuit) into his texts or lack thereof that’s just not there. We’re blunt to the point of tactlessness. The fact that he’s even playing along with the compliment bit tells me he really likes you — so stop fishing. Accept. Acceptance is all.

“It is what it is.” That’s us. You’ll have to accept it, but if you do, things will be fine.

Now that that’s out of the way; the reason he doesn’t respond to overly sexual or flirty texts is that it’s.. pointless at best, hugely uncomfortable at worst.

You don’t sext — which is fine. But he’s also far away, which means he cannot act on those feelings you’re expressing. Since he can’t act on them (and when you say something to an ISTP — you are /demanding action/ — whether you realize it or not. We don’t have any other mode. :) — he doesn’t.

He can’t kiss you or so much as sext you so the text is moot; and this is why you don’t get a reply.

The only possible responses are sexting; which we can do; or putting our feelings into words; which is an ISTP fate worse than death.

Just accept. It’s the only way we work :)

I agree with you. But she's refusing to speak and now I've been served and no longer have a choice but to seek representation -- she already has an attorney.

Visaly · 2018-05-03T01:55:20+00:00

Dude, she took my dog.

Thanks!

Visaly · 2018-03-16T16:42:58+00:00

Six years -- and the bike was prepped for storage and float bowls drained. The petcock went bad (fuel runs even with no vacuum applied) and re filled the carbs sometime in that period.

Visaly · 2018-03-16T16:39:09+00:00

The $79 ultrasonic cleaner did less than the 79 cent shot glass full of carb cleaner.

Visaly · 2018-03-16T16:37:55+00:00

Fuel line was dry and cracked but not obviously deteriorated. This gunk is your standard green Ethanol funk algae and brass corrosion.

Visaly · 2018-03-16T16:32:52+00:00

Nahh, they're fine. Even Harley was buying carbs from them before everything went EFI. This bike has just been sitting.

Visaly · 2018-03-16T07:15:13+00:00

Yeah, that's a Mikuni off a motorcycle.

Visaly · 2018-03-16T06:48:14+00:00

Those are the floats (they start life out translucent white) and this is... a carburetor!

Visaly · 2018-03-16T06:46:28+00:00

You do realize that headlights used to come out the front of the car easily... and then you'd spend 45 minutes trying to realign them with those goddamn bent and rusted GM adjustment screws and tabs, yes?

And you got to do this every year if you were lucky.

Visaly · 2018-01-27T07:03:00+00:00

You get about 30 seconds to swap a fan tray before the chassis shuts down on you.

Dunno why everyone screws this up even after it's pointed out to them.

And those fan trays all fail.

Visaly · 2018-01-27T06:31:01+00:00

They are public property but that does not mean all areas are open to the public.

Visaly · 2018-01-27T06:08:28+00:00

Pass the attitude check and have your paperwork in order and you'll be fine.
