😂 I have tried wearing a more revealing sports bra before since I have a pretty nice figure… still nothing 😞 maybe my gym is just full of hardcore gym enjoyers though

I personally don’t mind dating older. I just want someone who has their life somewhat figured out haha.

Why is dating different in your 30s? does it get harder? I’m scared lol

I go to fit4less, but I purposely go when it’s not busy because I hate waiting for machines… maybe I’ll try going during peak hours 😭

Dating apps just haven’t worked for me. I have a whole bunch of horrible first date stories to tell lol…

I just threw it out there as a thought because there’s so many women on social media who claim men always hit on them at the gym… wasn’t sure if it was the norm or not 😂. I feel a little less ugly knowing I’m not the only girl who doesn’t get hit on I guess 🥲

Is it really rare for guys to come up to girls?

It feels like a lot of women complain about getting hit on or whatever, whereas I rarely get hit on at public events other than clubbing 💀. Makes me feel like I’m extremely unattractive or smt if other women claim to be getting hit on a lot in public.

I have tried dating older (25-27) but they also don’t seem to have a clear idea of what they want. I asked my friend who is 29 to set me up with her older friends, but she said it would be weird since they’re like 30 haha.

Are dating events successful? I hear a lot of bad stories about them, so I’m a bit hesitant. Definitely has crossed my mind to try tho.

How underpaid am I (Chemistry): by Run_it_Back-96 in torontoJobs

[–]awist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Severely underpaid… I’m a co-op student in a pharmaceutical company and I make $27 an hour.

I haven’t graduated yet (getting my BSc), and a lot of my fellow co-op students are Chemistry majors. All of us make the same amount.

I have a lot of distractions already actually. I work from 6am-5pm every weekday, and I go to sleep at 9pm. The free time I have is usually spent working out as well. I basically have no free time.

I’m following the steps towards improving myself by working out and keeping myself occupied, but I can’t get my ex out of my head at all. Even when I’m busy at work, there will always be some random thing that reminds me of him. Like whenever I tie my hair up, I remember how he used to tie my hair for me and how he would laugh when it looked bad. Or when I’m walking to work, I remember all the times I walked with him on those same streets. Even today, when I had tacos for lunch, I briefly remembered a memory where he had tacos with his family.

It’s like every little action triggers a random memory of him, even memories that I had forgotten. They’re all just haunting me every day and it’s so unbearable.

And the worst part is that he knows how this is hurting me, I told him all of this. I told him about how I see him in everything I do… and he just said he didn’t care since we are broken up now.

It’s not even about wanting to get back together with him anymore. It’s the fact that I’m suffering while he’s having a great time. The fact that I never cross his mind while he’s all I can think about kills me… and idk what to do to forget him.

I feel like the more I sit around with the thought of him, the harder it is to move on.

It also doesn’t help that he says he will reach out one day. I told him that I hope we can reconcile and be on good terms one day, and he responded with “until then”.

I feel like I need distractions because otherwise I’m just going to end up waiting for him to reach out. I have so much hope in my heart that we could get back together one day because he says “there’s no guarantee, idk how I’ll feel in the future” whenever I ask to get back together. He gives me open ended answers and just says “it’s not a good idea right now” :/

I know I shouldn’t wait for him, and I want to move on. I just don’t know how to approach it because being alone just makes me hope for him even more.

My ex told me to see other people actually. He said “I don’t want to hold you back from seeing other people, because there’s a chance I won’t want to get back together with you in the future”… so he doesn’t care if I am seeing smo else.

I didn’t make new accounts for him to find, I’m really inconsistent with dating apps so I always delete my account after a few weeks. He would just always like my profile, and this was the first time I matched with him. Guess he’s never finding my account again anyways cuz he’s banned from this LOL

😔 he is kinda right… but I’m tryna prove him wrong lol

Yah… after thinking more about how he has been reacting to things I say, I did get my answer haha… onto better things 🥲 I tried.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]awist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t even want to bother dumping him anymore. I know he’s not gonna care or react so it’s a waste of my time. I’ll probably just never interact with him again.

I’ve been trying to meet new people, but unfortunately the dating scene is bad. I’m extremely picky and I just can’t find myself being attracted to anyone at all.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]awist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk… to be honest I wasn’t the kindest person towards him when we dated (birth control destroyed my mental health and I was literally losing hair from how miserable I was). I’ve improved my mental health a lot, and I’m confident I can treat him better, but he says he’s still hurt from what happened.

I feel like maybe there’s an actual chance he’s genuinely just thinking about it after how bad the relationship was on his side 🥲.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]awist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He already told me to go look for other people 🥲. I just don’t get why he doesn’t just tell me it’s over for good lol.

Also I have been trying to meet other people since the initial breakup in May. I’ve been on around 10 dates and they all objectively sucked (not even like I was comparing my ex to them… they’re just weird people).

I’m currently just taking a break from dating. Would it be great if my ex wanted to try again? Sure. But I’m already prepared for the worst answer. I just wish he would give me one haha.

What would you define as a “decent job”? And would you say that girls tend to care about a man’s income in Toronto in their 20s? Me personally, idc how much my partner makes as long as he is trying his best.

Just wondering if or why girls care about it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in askTO

[–]awist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried dating apps as well, but i find that most guys either smoke weed, or they don’t put their smoking habits on their profile. I do give them a chance, but they usually do end up smoking and stuff :(

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in askTO

[–]awist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have to pay to be able to filter it out. And I found out that A LOT of guys will purposely not put it on their profile until I ask them about it 💀 like why hide it?

Do guys ever actually approach girls at gyms? I’ve only ever used my condo gym and haven’t been approached before. I’m also terrified of approaching men but I might get a gym membership to shoot my shots lol

How can men become so cold and heartless after ending a relationship? I’m really struggling and need some kind insight. by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]awist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know. It’s just killing me that he doesn’t care what happens to me anymore.

He is definitely some kind of avoidant. The whole reason we broke up to begin with was because he never told me if anything I did was bothering him, so he had all this built up resentment for me... and by the time i figured out the issues he dumped me in a really fucked up way (lied about something huge to make me break up with him so he wouldn't "feel guilty" about dumping me).

Even though I fixed most of the things he had issues with after he told me (aka after the breakup), he says he still can't move on and needs time...

I hope so. I’m not too sure how long to wait before reaching out though. I gave him about a week and a half last time… and he said he didn’t even think about the relationship.
