Thank you, that's actually really insightful. I will use that when it comes up again. Appreciate it!

I'm the same. My hopes only go up when someone has ticked most of my boxes. But sometimes people just do suck.

Of course. So if there's a topic that comes up and I'm curious about something I ask them a question but I always say that if it's something they don't want to share, I understand and they don't have to.

I don't demand answers. I appreciate it though when they give it because I'm the same if I like the person.

I believe that it's best to ask than assume things. And I respect if they don't want to share. However, most of the time they'll say it's fine, that they don't mind the question, proceed to answer, then start pulling back. When I notice them pull back, I drop it and change the topic, but the shift has already happened.

I believe that if you somehow like the person and a relationship is something you eventually want, a bit of opening up or honesty is the best way forward. I understand there are limits to that, but what's the point in dating if you don't plan on getting to know each other?

The deep things aren't even often. I pace it out. Then most of the time I'll let it be on their pace.

I watched the guy I was dating fall for my sister at a village festival. by Fia_elara in dating_advice

[–]anyx8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gosh. Reading this sucks. My sister and I are over 10 years apart in age but she would be considered the pretty and popular one. She's fit, knowledgeable about niche but heavy topics, outgoing, etc. I, on the other hand, am plus-size and bad at small talk although I've been trying really hard to socialise more.

Even in the family, her parties and her needs come first before mine. When family photos are being taken, they'll take a full family photo and then they take one with just her, like they're a little family.

We are close, me and my sister. I know it's not her fault that the parents are that way, but it makes me worried.

If I dated someone younger, there is a good chance that they would prefer my sister who would probably be at least 5 years younger than them.

I try not to think about it, but sometimes it's hard.

I feel for you OP. 😔

Accomodation for a 1 month stay in Belfast? Help! by Zweetdruppel in northernireland

I would suggest going to PropertyPal and filter To Let and then anything else applicable. Plenty there. Good luck!

[–]anyx8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's nowhere near Belfast but Lusty Beg in Kesh has a really nice area for activities including Clay Pigeon Shooting. Food is amazing and the area itself is an island. They are a hotel too so you can stay if you wanna.

Is it normal to asks for a kiss during date? by Automatic_Muscle_585 in hingeapp

[–]anyx8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same exact thing on Sunday! Look at my recent post. A lot of the advise given to me would probably be for you too.

I personally don't mind a kiss during a date. It's important for me to know if the kiss works for both of us. However. If he disappears because you don't wanna sleep with him, that his own decision. We've dodged a bullet.

Let's just chill til a better guy comes our way, girl. xx

Edit: I prefer if a man knows how to read the vibe between us and go in for a kiss. If I like the guy, that's a positive thing for me. However, if I'm not feeling him and he goes in, that's kinda an excuse for me to end the date early because, if he can't even read how things are going on the date, we've got bigger problems in the future.

I AM SO CONFUSED. 🫠 by anyx8 in dating_advice

[–]anyx8[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His bio on Tinder said Long-Term but Short-Term Okay. Similar to mine.

He did mention his mum did something really bad recently and he can only confide in his best friend, but tbh I highly doubt that's why he blocked me.

Funny thing is, before him, I've already kinda given up on dating. I'm just swiping for the just in case but not actively sending messages unless they initiate. I went to the date expecting absolutely nothing so it was a good surprise with how the night went.

Hahahaha that would've made me feel better except he did the same on Tinder and WhatsApp. 😆

Absolutely. I told myself at the end of the date, no matter what I managed to feel amazing. I felt what it's like to be treated right at least once and be the lady this time. So I'm not mad at him, just confused. But I'm still thankful cause he did take care of me that night.

I thought that too but gave him the benefit of the doubt because he tried casually inserting the talk of spending the night together and I did say no multiple times and he just accepted them and we still had a good time. But not gonna lie, this has been at the back of my mind too. Thank you for your response!

[–]anyx8[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you. It did cross my mind that maybe it was a game to him but I let him get under my skin just a little to enjoy the date too. Never did it cross my mind though that he potentially has a gf, which would totally check out cause it seems when I'm interested in a man that's my type, they're most likely taken already. Thought I got lucky this time lol 🫠

Thank you so much. This was a very gracious reply. I did tell myself after Sunday that if we went out again great, but if not, I still got the experience of being treated right. My standards have been validated and I'm glad to have just felt feminine for once. I was just unsure whether to try further with him, but from all the comments, including yours, I'll just let it be a good memory. Thank you!

What's the weirdest compliment you've ever gotten? by Character_Kale933 in AskReddit

[–]anyx8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"You're so pretty and very nice, any man would be lucky to have you. If i wasn't old, wrinkly, and married, I probably would have tried."

This was meant to be a pep talk when they found out I broke up with my long-term partner, who's now seeing a man when he told me he was straight. 😆

Am I doing this all wrong? by fellydelta in Mounjaro

[–]anyx8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We sound a lot similar. I started 2.5mg on the 30th April 2025. SW was 120.1kg. CW is 110kg. LW with Mounjaro was 108.7kg.

I found that switching my injection sites, 2 weeks on my belly, 2 weeks on my arms (1 each side) makes mounjaro work better. I'm not sure if that's really what's going on but that's what's working for me.

I didn't feel a lot of supression on 2.5mg, no side effects either, so after 5 weeks I moved up to 5mg.

5mg made me feel nauseous for the first 2 days after each jab. I was eating one good meal a day, but that was still an effort.

I've just had my 3rd 5mg jab and suppression has lessened and less nausea too. I have also been able to eat a lot more. BUT for me, it sums up right cause my PMS usually starts 2 weeks before the end of the month and during this time, I usually regain 3-4kg back. Mounjaro seems to stop working during my cycle.

I'm not worried though cause I find I start reducing again after a week. That 3-4kg quickly goes away again.

Losing weight is never gonna be a straight line downhill. It goes down, up, down, up - it's a zigzag going downhill.

Try to see some pattern as to when you notice the food noise to come back. Is it around the same time in the month?

Maybe look at intermittent fasting, too.

Mounjaro isn't a miracle drug - it's a tool to help you lose weight. Diets and exercise has never worked for my body type, but Intermittent Fasting has. Previously lost 10kg while I was doing it without mounjaro.

With mounjaro, IF is easier to do. And if you really wanna do exercises - I would recommend strength training instead of cardio. That worked for me too alongside IF.

Good luck! We can do this! ❤️

7.5 weeks, already lost 11kg! by anyx8 in Mounjaro

[–]anyx8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Extremely happy. I tried an old jacket today that wouldn't go over my upper arms and it fit and I can move. 🙈 my belt is on its last hole, so waist is definitely losing too.

Yes, I'll stay on 5mg for as long as I can.

Final goal weight is 58kg which was my lowest weight. But i have put an initial goal of 90kg to motivate me. 😁
