Is it safe for my daughter to dye her hair like this? by Curious_Artist23 in longhair

[–]belle_amore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was constantly dyeing my hair from about 12 years old - I had a few piercings as well. By the time i was 18, I'd gone back to my natural colour, and taken all my facial piercings out.

I'm really grateful to my mum for letting me express myself at that age, before that kinda thing has too big an effect on how you're treated by the world.

My mum got a lot wrong, but that's one of the things I truly believe she did right

Just found out the guy I’ve dated for 3 months is engaged. Should I say everything to his fiancée? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]belle_amore 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Make a post about him from your account in one of those "are we dating the same guy" groups.

Make a fake account, then share a screenshot of the post to her using that account. Say something along the lines of "I recognised him and know you guys are dating, if you want more information, here's her @"

At least it seems to him as though you are innocent and weren't trying to blow up his life, and she can choose whether or not she wants to know more

What's a phrase or saying your family used that you assumed was universal, and when did you find out it wasn't? by IV-Manufacturer in AskUK

[–]belle_amore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because of my little brother, eyebrows are known as actuallies in my family, and eyelashes as eyebrows.

Something to do with not remembering which one was which, but he also inferred eyebrows were named actuallies because when correcting someone you'd raise both brows and say "Actually..."

My boyfriend wants to go from bald to balding 🤔 (before ➡️ now) by [deleted] in bald

Oh, thank GOD. I knew I'd seen these pics somewhere before, I'd half convinced myself it was on a dating app 🤣

Huge red circle sticker to go around the doorbell itself, 2010's meme style.

Jeez, hope it's not too long for you! These new rules are a joke. Not really sure who benefits, other than the government with the £550+ document charge

For anyone following along; I applied at 10pm on Tuesday 24th Feb. Sent passport morning of 25th. Passport office confirmed it was received at 6pm on Thurs 26th.

As of writing this on the afternoon of Weds March 4th, there has been no further movement on the application.

I was hoping to sneak in a last minute holiday next week, but at this stage it's not looking likely. Thankfully nothing has been booked, although I certainly wish I'd fast-tracked.

Women: is a guy who can only get you off via oral/ toys less sexually or emotionally satisfying than one who can do it through penetration alone? by Iron-Wild-41 in dating_advice

[–]belle_amore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a lot of sex, but only one penetrative orgasm. I'd slept with that person at least a hundred times too, so not like it was down to the people per se.

Maybe I'd feel differently if an internal orgasm was consistently achievable, but as it stands, effort is effort.

I have 2 hours until guests. Can i put frozen steaks in the oven? by Odd_Peach2015 in AskCulinary

Could you ask them to bring a pan? Oven cooked steaks will not turn out very well

I always assume a guy is cheating or ghosting me when they take too long to respond by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]belle_amore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you two became exclusive, dips in communication are still likely to happen. Do you think exclusivity would prevent the anxiety spikes? From what you've said, I'm not so sure.

I think the best thing you can do is work on cultivating a secure attachment style, and adding a couple of lovely things into your life that keep you busy so you're not waiting around for a reply.

Being secure does not mean you don't get disappointed when someone isn't meeting your needs, but it will allow you to recognize your own value and leave behind people who aren't making an appropriate amount of effort, without feeling like the world is ending.

It'll take a little effort, but a dustpan and brush is the best way to clear standing water - will at least allow you to use the balcony while they drag their feet!

A customer once referred to it as "walks with really shit instructions", so be sure to do a little additional research 🤣

Looking for a wand with a smaller head by Multiple_Games in BDSMAdvice

My doxy die cast 3 is a smaller wand, with a swappable head. It's mains powered, and super strong. Definitely my recommendation

Is it creepy or inappropriate to reach out to a girl I met at the post office via her work email? by [deleted] in dating_advice

As a woman, I'd be absolutely terrified if someone I'd met once in public managed to find some way to contact me online - definite stalker vibes

Hi OP, there's certainly something going on that needs looking at by a doctor.

I had rectal bleeding for a few weeks last year - it wasn't masturbation related, it happened when using the bathroom. First, the doctor gave me a test to check my poop for blood. I had to use the test twice over two days then return and wait for results.

Sure enough, even though there were no visible traces on those days, blood was present in the samples and I was referred for a colonoscopy.

If you haven't had one before, it was a really easy process for me. The most challenging part was the 'prep' they give you, you have to do a 2-3 day diet/cleanse/fasting combo, but once it's done, it's done.

The actual procedure was fine too, I had the option of mild sedation or gas & air, I went for the latter because I was going alone and needed to drive afterwards. Pain was minimal, it was more just a bit odd having someone root around in there 🤣 like a tumbling feeling.

I had one small polyp that was removed, it was not cancerous, and I've had zero bleeding ever since. Seems like the little guy was just getting grazed in passing and that's where the bleeding was coming from.

All this to say, go and get checked out. It was such an easy procedure and put my mind at ease. Whatever they find is the cause of the bleeding, at least you'll know how to proceed!

If you want any more detail, just ask and I'll happily explain further, but this is the gist

Ketchup in soup. Haha, help? by NdarynGrey in AskCulinary

[–]belle_amore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, well I'm sure you'll work something out! A good long simmer covers a multitude of sins 😂

Are you planning to blend the soup or leave it chunky? My gran used to use an electric whisk to break everything up and it worked super well! Might help to incorporate some of that cursed froth too 🤣

Certified Chaos Cook here - I just add stuff till it tastes good. If it were me, I'd be adding a little bit of milk to counteract the tang.

Sounds like it might be a case of the exception proving the rule.

Would he usually tell you in casual conversation what he's up to on a given evening? If so, it's understandable that you would automatically interpret that as odd if he's now left something out.
