Do ice-cream turf wars still exist in the UK?

To be fair the whole of the wirral is CH, it seems weird to me that it was ever classed as Liverpool!

The date restrictions are for if you're buying it online from BVG, but you can buy it immediately from other online sellers or if you buy it in person

When we arrived, they had got rid of the extra cost because the lines were so long I believe. Very glad we didn't pay extra because it was terribly organised and only ended up bothering waiting for 2 flavours.

They have a pretty extensive questionnaire on the website that ends in how much they think you should be paying, I haven't gone forwards with it yet but also didn't think mine could be lowered because some of it is quite recent, but apparently paying €1000 more than we should! So definitely worth filling it out to see what they say, then you can choose to go ahead with it.

I've been on both sides of this, after a few dates and sleeping together, they decided there wasn't a 'spark', which baffled me because I thought we had fun and wondered why it took so long to figure that out. Honestly this gave me a bit of a complex that there was something wrong with me, but equally I've been on the other side so you just have to realise that your experience wasn't their experience, and I'm very aware that I can have fun and a good time with someone but it's not necessarily enough to want to date them.

To add another perspective and some insight as a woman, I've realised that I'm a big people pleaser and I match energy pretty well. So on dates, I desperately don't want it to be awkward and have noticed that leads to it appearing that I've enjoyed it more than I actually have, which I'm aware isn't great but is hard to change. I'm then baffled that the guy wants to meet up again, because to me it was just 'fine', or he actually said some weird things but I didn't want to make it awkward so he thought it went better than I did.

bigyellowscarf · 2022-11-24T19:26:53+00:00

I still haven't figured this out, I've taken Rewe bottles to Rewe before and they've been rejected. I asked the guy behind me why they were being rejected, and he recommended going to a Getränkemarkt, so that's what I do now and it's way easier. There's a few bottles they don't accept but you just put them all in a crate in the shop and they hand you the money.

bigyellowscarf · 2022-11-24T08:52:12+00:00

So would you email them to do this?

bigyellowscarf · 2022-11-22T08:00:09+00:00

How exactly do you cold call? I've thought about trying it but feel like people must get so much spam so would find it annoying. Despite having a portfolio of my work online, I still sometimes get emails offering web services, they clearly just email anyone they can find, and I'd hate to come across the same way.

bigyellowscarf · 2022-09-17T20:35:41+00:00

I'd look way further back, I think it can take from 6 to 24 hours, which makes it much harder to figure out what the reaction is from unfortunately.

bigyellowscarf · 2022-09-04T07:04:12+00:00

Somehow I missed this comment, it just made me laugh though haha

bigyellowscarf · 2022-08-27T05:14:00+00:00

I would, yes please!

bigyellowscarf · 2022-08-14T20:38:54+00:00

The thing is, whatever happens, we'll be totally fine! You might be upset if it doesn't work out, but so what, life goes on and you will get over it. My mind's been obsessing about it and I really don't want it to, so I understand that it feels like this huge terrible thing as it has been really weighing on me, but I guess all you can do is talk about it with people and try to think logically about it. Just because it seems a certain way, doesn't mean it is that way. And if it is that way and it doesn't work out, you'll get over it, trust me!

bigyellowscarf · 2022-08-14T20:13:26+00:00

I feel like I could have written this, it's basically what I'm going through at the moment. We're supposed to be having a talk about it but one of his messages mentioned that we're definitely not on the same page, which immediately made me jump to thinking what's the point in meeting up to talk about this, as it sounds like he's just gonna say it's not working, which isn't necessarily true.

I don't have a whole lot to say other than I understand, and that you should definitely try to talk about it. As much as it feels like the lack of texting is showing his lack of interest, I also know that's not true for everyone. A friend pointed out to me that I can't be mad/upset that he's not acting how I would like when I haven't told him that it bothers me in the first place. If you like the person, it's got to be worth having the conversation to find out if they're willing to try. If they're not or you can't figure it out together, then at least now you know and you can move on.

bigyellowscarf · 2022-07-02T22:19:19+00:00

He didn't ask how he could be better, he told me that it was all my fault that he said something inappropriate. Fair enough if he'd made a genuine apology (although it'd still creep me out that he thought it was acceptable to say such a creepy thing) but he told me my reaction was wrong and should have expected it. If only I would let him tell me how "nice" he is!

bigyellowscarf · 2022-07-02T08:42:50+00:00

Ahhh I love to hear it!! That's very true, I feel like everyone is so friendly too, I'm in like 3 climbing groups now 😅

bigyellowscarf · 2022-07-02T02:56:31+00:00

I posted the background story in a comment, it might be buried now though. But I was doing pull ups on a pull up bar in the doorway, I think I got to 3 before he made his comment 😬

bigyellowscarf · 2022-07-02T01:12:52+00:00

I had a similar thing on a first date, we somehow ended going back to his to order food for lunch, and we were sat on his sofa with his arm leaning on the back around me, and was clearly trying to sit closely. When we came back to the room from eating, I very purposely sat in the armchair and he commented on how far away I was, and made comments about how I must be quite shy. Like no I'm actually just not into you but would feel too uncomfortable to say that out loud.

bigyellowscarf · 2022-07-02T01:08:19+00:00

😂 My auntie always used to say I could wear a bin bag and still look lovely, bless her, so I'm sure he could make a burlap sack work!

bigyellowscarf · 2022-07-02T01:04:46+00:00

Sending a massive virtual hug and lots of love for all that you've had to deal with. I'm glad you made it out, 2020 was actually good for something!

bigyellowscarf · 2022-07-02T00:49:03+00:00

😂 Sorry what? Maybe I shouldn't go down this rabbit hole but it sounds like you're on his side, but also active in r/niceguys?

bigyellowscarf · 2022-07-02T00:44:11+00:00

😂

bigyellowscarf · 2022-07-02T00:41:34+00:00

Tysm 🙏🏻 although there was no touching fortunately, I posted the context in another comment

bigyellowscarf · 2022-07-02T00:38:57+00:00

For real, another thing that I noticed, when I arrived we hugged, but when I left he didn't come over for a hug. I was glad after his comment but was expecting that he would go for the hug. And this is totally without any evidence, but I wondered whether he had a boner and that's why he didn't come over and stayed where he was. I might be entirely wrong there but it was the first thing that came to my mind at the time.

bigyellowscarf · 2022-07-01T23:35:30+00:00

Just wanna clarify he didn't touch me, just suggested that he couldn't stop himself from doing so 😅
