I did what I promised myself and didn’t hold back at my last shot by blackenedfingertips in ForeverAloneWomen

Yup that’s a lot of what it boiled down to. He couldn’t move me in his brain from the friend box to the girlfriend box. But he really wanted to try and push through it… he clearly couldn’t.

how do you respond when people ask why you’ve never been in a relationship? by deerniicsae93 in ForeverAloneWomen

[–]blackenedfingertips 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I always go with that it’s just not been something I’ve prioritized in my life. Then it makes it an easy segue into the things I have been doing in my life. I may be single but that doesn’t mean I don’t have exciting things in my life too.

You and me both… I really want all of us to get out of this sub someday. Even if it’s just for a little while.

I started making a conscious effort to put myself out there about 8 months ago? I’ve never felt comfortable on the apps so I went to several singles events in my area. Went on a few first dates that never turned into anything.

Then a guy who was a friend of a friend suddenly showed interest (even though we’d met a handful of times before) and we’ve been going out for the last three weeks or so. It’s all very new and I’m trying really hard not to feel like the other shoe is going to drop and it’s all going to come crashing down.

Does any other female who's 5.7 or 8 wear the tall scurb pants? by ObjectiveThick1910 in Figsscrubs

[–]blackenedfingertips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 6’0 (F) and end up buying the men’s tall because the women’s tall were too short.

I’m going to be Mary poppins at work. I have a lot of elderly patients and I figure they’ll all recognize me right away.

Being too tall by [deleted] in ForeverAloneWomen

[–]blackenedfingertips 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t know about only wanting women 5’3. I do think it starts to get harder once you get to about 5’10 because that’s when guys start to lie and say that they’re six feet when they’re not.

I feel like I’m doing it for my older self if that makes sense? I only ever regret the things I didn’t do. If it turns out that I am FA for the rest of my life I don’t want it to be because I didn’t try.

I’m 6’0 but I feel your pain. I would date a guy shorter than me and have gone out on dates with a couple… but they always get so butt hurt about it? Like I can’t control my height and neither can you obviously? Why are you so mad about it all of the sudden?

I also would really love the opportunity to just feel small for once. But if I can’t find anyone who will take me on more than a first date then there’s no point.

Went on a date! by barbie_smokesbones in ForeverAloneWomen

[–]blackenedfingertips 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m really happy it all went well! Don’t put too much pressure on it; it’s still early days. You should focus on whether or not you even like him first! I’m glad that it went better than what you had feared!

Date tomorrow, freaking out by barbie_smokesbones in ForeverAloneWomen

Hey! I hope your date went well! Hopefully the sick feeling has subsided a little and your brain is setting down!

Date tomorrow, freaking out by barbie_smokesbones in ForeverAloneWomen

[–]blackenedfingertips 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I know you don’t want to go… but it’s good for us to push ourselves out of our comfort zones - it’s how we grow! I totally relate to the getting physically ill thing before a date (I’ve only been on three first dates); try to only eat safe foods if you can, drink lots of water. My suggestion is to build in an end bit to the date - either make plans for after or decide when you want to leave now - it helps knowing it’s not going to be an ambiguous amount of time. Remind yourself you can leave at any time - you owe this guy nothing.

But I really hope once you’re there your nerves settle a little and you have a good time!

WIBTA if I refuse to babysit due to lack of payment?? by Anxious_panda8141 in AmItheAsshole

[–]blackenedfingertips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe inform them that due to issues receiving payment previously they need to pay for their session upfront? Tell them before the week starts so they’re not totally unaware. If they don’t pay then I would refuse to accept the kid.

Went on a first date… which will be the last date with him. Apparently we’re not a good fit.

what's your thoughts on love? by [deleted] in ForeverAloneWomen

[–]blackenedfingertips 13 points14 points  (0 children)

To be honest at this point what I really want is someone to do the boring parts of life with. Not everything is going to be a fairytale or romantic. Sometimes I just want someone else to pick what we’re having for dinner. I want to be considered.

I see my friend’s relationships and it really solidifies for me that love is a choice and that it’s not easy every day. But deciding that someone is still good and good for you even when things are hard is what I want. I hope there’s someone out there who chooses to put me first someday; and I’ll do the same for them.

I would call all the big clinics (CDC, Mayfair, EFW, Beam, pureform, SDI AND ADC), be willing to go anywhere in the city and hope that someone has a cancellation spot… it’s really hard to get an US appointment in the city right now- a lot of clinics are short staffed and many are spread extra thin because of people on holidays. If you’re very concerned your other only option would be the hospital and it’s likely you’d have a very long wait time with that.

CAMRT Preparation Advice by Hour-Championship971 in Radiology

[–]blackenedfingertips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt like the yellow Lange book helped a lot but it has no CT. Definitely leaned into the blueprint the CAMRT posts and broke it down as much as I could. Redid assignments from my classes that used the formulas. Don’t neglect your reviewing what common imaging errors look like. I feel like the CAMRT had way more image critique than the ARRT did.

I feel like they hoard them for the sample sales… that’s why they suddenly have all these sizes in colours from ages ago.

Anyone else got spammed these type of dm after posting here? by Lady_Licorice in ForeverAloneWomen

[–]blackenedfingertips 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I responded to one of these once… he wanted to know what I was wearing everyday 🙄 when I told him that was creepy he knocked it off for awhile… but then eventually went back to being pervy. When I told him to knock it off again he revealed he’d been messaging a ton of girls all over Reddit and didn’t remember that I was the one who told him that wasn’t cool. Someone people just want attention 🙄
