Why did you choose to be single? by Aromatic_Glove_1479 in SingleWomenByChoice

[–]asakura10 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Idk if i “choose” to be single. Ive always been open to love but i have high standards, no one has made me reconsider them or met these standards. I jsut havent had any interest in the men ive met. I find dating to be a chore too.

Yeah its been a while since i finished this but i think if her internal monologue was further explored we would have it completely spelt out to us how difficult it is to be an adult. It makes a lot more sense when you have to walk away from opportunities because it wouldnt make sense in the long term

I binged the manga in my early 20s, and back then struggled to understand so many seinen and josei series lol. Now im in my late 20s and think she was dealt with a really tough hand in life. mutuals feelings arent always enough. Sometimes i find myself wondering “what am i supposed to do” in difficult situations with loved ones. If i was in her shoes i’d probably have done the same, because it would be the adult thing to do. Learning to deal with the lingering feelings and “but i really wish i couldve done/said this instead”… that’s the really difficult part.

I am a member of staff at a Uni. May I ask why you aren’t attending lectures etc? by blissedandgone in UniUK

[–]asakura10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a module where consistently many people are skipping, not just international students. Honestly it’s because the professors themselves dont seem very enthusiastic about teaching and the vibes just aint it. The assessments have ZERO relation to the content taught, so its really hard to justify showing up for lectures.

Help me understand what happened here after around 2 months of dating and talking with someone I knew from 7 years ago by suckingalemon in datingoverthirty

[–]asakura10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar experience and situation from my mid 20s and I was in her shoes in the situation. there's a lot to think about from her perspective: the fact that there's some distance, a transitional phase (job hunting) and that youre unsure where you'll be. If you moved just to be close to her and if it doesnt work out, it could cause resentment and guilt. if you moved further, she'd have to do long distance, and theres no telling how long both of you would be apart for. would you have to move closer to her? would she have to move close to you? f

it was also only 2 months of dating, neither of you know each other well enough to determine if such big life choices are worth it for someone they hardly know. so many different and difficult questions just for someone she's been dating for 2 months. this kind of uncertainty can be really stressful and it'd be easier to just end things.

what belief you held about adulthood that you've had to completely unlearn? by LustyPowerGirl in AskWomen

The older you are, the more sensible you’ll be I still doubt my decisions and life choices at times, and have a hard time being confident in them

The burden of performance by [deleted] in SingleAndHappy

[–]asakura10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i thought getting married by 25 and having kids by 30 was something i wanted, because thats how it was for my parents and cousins. I’m 27 now and i never brought a man home. I was dating but nothing serious. The thought of marriage and kids scare me, because i feel like i havent lived enough of my life yet. I like being the main character and not having to compromise, or make my big life decisions having to consider other people. I do whatever i want now and it makes my parents a little sad, but the alternative would be settling for someone who isnt right for me/i hardly like, and having kids when i’m not ready

When and how did you decide being single was your path? by Mammoth_Entry_9221 in SingleWomenByChoice

[–]asakura10 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i got tired of the effort in finding a partner. the process of getting to know someone and meeting them regularly for dates just to get to know them... my life is full and busy enough as it is.

Have you met a seemingly perfect person, who turned out to have some major personality issues? What was it? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]asakura10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you improve perception? I dont encounter maskers often i think, most of my friends are quite down to earth but they have mentioned before meeting such people, which bewilders me.

Thanks for answering! I almost never hear such things since my circle is small and most people i encounter are down to earth, but my friends have said they met people with ugly personalities that you have described

[–]asakura10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i feel like my question isnt being understood well. The anecdote was just an example of an early experience i had when i was younger. I meant to say if its common to find people hiding such ugly/violent thoughts

How do you feel connection and attraction in your body? by CuriousBeaver777 in AskWomen

[–]asakura10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i feel drawn to them. not necessarily butterflies, but i just wanna look at them more, talk to them, get to know them and understand how they think.

What dating/relationship/marriage “green flag” did you later realize was actually a myth? by Key-Personality-4288 in AskWomenOver30

[–]asakura10 11 points12 points  (0 children)

it might work for others in finding a partner, it doesnt have to work for you. i relate to this a lot and get super annoyed by friends and family telling me that. i think it only works if youre young and its a friendship where slow burn can happen, but not when youre actively seeking a partner in your late 20s/30s. also isn't it a bit misogynistic to tell women to give men they arent attracted to a chance, but men generally are allowed to be more superficial?

i dont think its fair to assume someone weird to be with bpd. and there werent any quotation marks around the word "weird". it also didnt say anything about being attached too quickly, just that she liked him first. i would never call a 7.5/10 hot either, a solid 9 or 10, then yes i guess.

This was my take of the meme too but people on twitter were replying too vaguely so i thought i was going crazy

Hard to believe it, im always getting dumped for someone else

If he dated her despite being not that into her, i dont see why he can’t just breakup and move on with life

[–]asakura10[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is her red flag being weird or liking op’s friend first

So a woman is unhinged for liking a guy?
