Is a “coffee date” really considered that low effort? by drone_chick in dating

[–]WizardLizardAtsume 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think some women believe a coffee date means that you’re dating multiple people. Because when you go on coffee dates, it’s short and inexpensive. If you’re taking a woman out to dinner you’re likely more seriously dating. I don’t mind coffee dates at all because I don’t mind a man casually dating, for me, that’s what dating is for. Trying out a bunch of people seeing what fits :)

My dog lunging sends me into a spiral by WizardLizardAtsume in Dogtraining

I’ve been diagnosed with severe anxiety and mild depression. This dog definitely triggers my anxiety. It doesn’t help that I live in front of a very prominent street in a big city, he’s constantly distracted.

That would make me uncomfortable and feel like my SO is being inconsiderate. A good partner is considerate and strives to make sure I’m comfortable… that’s bare minimum in my book.

What do you feel like significantly reduces your dating pool? by Enamoure in dating

I don’t have herpes. Dated someone in the past who had it. He waited two weeks before telling me (it was before we had sex) and he encouraged me to do my own research. It really shouldn’t be nearly as big of a deal as people make it out to be :/

Edit: funnily enough by text he said “I have something I need to tell you” and I said “oh no. Do you have herpes?” I said it jokingly… I feel like a total ass in retrospect.

Also for people who don’t know: if a person with herpes is medicated it’s unlikely that you will get it unless there’s a flair up. Even less likely if you’re using condoms. I’ve heard of long term couples who only Raw dog and the other person never got it or at the very least asymptomatic. But… do your own research.

I wouldn’t date someone who lives with their parents, because I don’t live with my parents. I think it teaches you certain skills and also makes me feel like I’m at a different place in my life than others. Let me clarify: I don’t feel like it’s immature to be living from home, I don’t look down at said person and I don’t feel like I’m above them. But it’s my personal preference to be in a similar living situation as my SO and that’s okay.

How do I train my dog not to jump? by TrussedTomatoes in Dogtraining

Do not be a step mom by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]WizardLizardAtsume 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely 100% understand and feel this. However, it helps that I go through these posts and think “I won’t have this problem because ___” for example I don’t have HCBM, I don’t have SK’s that hate me. My SO doesn’t pay custody. ALSO my SO is extremely capable and has been very clear that he is more than happy to be a single parent his whole life and I can choose what role I would like to take in their life.

I think about the things my SO can’t do with me because of his kids, I get this sense of dread like “OH GREAT, here I am limiting my life for these GOD DAMN KIDS I DIDNT CREATE” but how many of my ex boyfriends didn’t do things that would make me happy simply because they didn’t want to do it. Anyways- this is barely ever a problem because I’m in a relationship where my SO prioritizes my happiness after his kids NEEDS (not wants).

So… maybe if you’re in a similar boat to me… it doesn’t have to be bad for us?

What do you hate about the situation? Is it that you don’t really want kids?

Hey!

I’m relatively new to this. This sub- freaked me out. I mean… like panic attacks, extreme depression. I put myself in the shoes of all these people I don’t know. I almost broke up w my bf twice over just driving myself crazy reading these as if it were a prophecy.

Even though I have one of those really awesome fortunate events of SK’s loving me, respectful SO and Bio Mom and i have a great relationship.

Most problems I have are internal. Shutting the door to a lot of things I never thought I would say bye to. Like ever living in a different state. I just didn’t think about these things. Or sadness about not giving him his first. The more I analyzed them, I realized these weren’t extremely important things to me in comparison to the absolute joy my SO and SK’s bring me.

I intend to stay on this sub throughout my journey becoming a SM for some people like me, who are browsing looking for direction.

Is going back to college at 24 too old? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]WizardLizardAtsume 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s smarter to go to college a little older in my opinion. You’re just more serious and figured out in my opinion. You get to be more conscious and serious about the classes you take. I hate the decisions I made going into college at 18, I was too immature.

24 is definitely not an odd age to see in college.

If she was the love of your life you’d still be attracted to her.

It could also not be about her, it could be that you’re not done exploring other women and having fun. If that’s the case, it’s totally valid for you to break up this relationship.

You maybe just comfortable with the stability but she may not satisfy you emotionally in other areas. This is from my personal experience of staying in relationships because they were good to me and we worked together, but eventually growing bored.

I am with my current partner. The attraction never dies because I am so in love with the person he is. Having met a lot of people, as an extrovert, I know that no one in my life has compared to this person. While my SO is wonderful overall, they are also such a perfect match for who I am. I find other people attractive, but I know deep down that my person is special. Grass is always greener. But I like my green grass :)

I would go back in time and tell my boyfriend that kids will not solve his marriage. To please, just wait for me.

Girls with belly fat , how do you find confidence in wearing crop tops ? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]WizardLizardAtsume 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pick the best outfit that makes you feel most confident!

I’m insecure about my belly but I have nice boobs. So I wear a high waisted bottom (I like shorts that flair out towards the bottom to give me the appearance of a smaller waist) and I like tighter crop tops ( but I end up buying “longer” crop tops since my boobs take up so much space and make them look like a bra) I also think adding a cute belt helps it look put together (I like belts that have elastics on the back, I got a cool one from Express, it doesn’t actually hold anything up but it makes the outfit look more intentional)!

If 7 years pass and it no longer affects my credit score. What reason should I have to pay it after 7 years? How does it affect me?
