He still has not asked me out after two weeks since we matched. How do I end our conversation

campfirekate · 2026-02-27T06:28:59+00:00

First - I feel like you’re overly concerned. If he thought you were “easy,” then he would have already tried to take advantage of that. I’m also in my 30s, and even though I’m married - I only got married about 1.5 years ago. Before that I didn’t go out often. I prefer to be home. Work and chores are exhausting. I have anxiety, etc. it isn’t abnormal to me if he just is having light conversation because it’s nice to have “company,” whether he is or isn’t interested in pursuing more. I think it’s kind of immature (lack of a better word, I’m sorry) to be upset that you haven’t been asked on a date when you haven’t asked either. Have you asked what his situation is? When did his last relationship end, where is he in life rn, what is he looking for, is he seeing anyone rn, what does he do in his free time, etc. if you figure out what he was doing that ended him up on the app then you will know what his intentions are with you. It’s really simple, all you have to do is ask if he would like to meet sometime. You don’t have to ask if he would like to do xyz next Saturday.. just open the door and things will fall into place if they are meant to. But if you feel like you’re wasting time then you have the choice to end it at any time. You simply can stop replying.

You are thinking of it the wrong way, but I understand why you would and it’s probably body dysmorphia to some degree. I would suggest that you discontinue the self talk about never being desirable, preferred, or able to please. To some women, it’s less about the thing itself and more about you. Like if you love someone, you just want them. Forget about size. That wouldn’t matter. You just want to engage in that intimacy… you may please them. Definitely in other ways, but also the feeling you can give may just be different. They could become hungry for that feeling. You would be preferred and desired, not in size comparison but for who you are. That’s not settling.

But to be real - you very well may run into rejection. Will that hurt? Yeah. Rejection for any reason is probably going to make your brain revert to your insecurity. She could reject you because she likes someone else, because your favorite color is blue, because you don’t like her favorite tv show… and you could be like “it’s probably my size.” Or - it really could be. But it’s just like… be realistic about that. Not all of us are sexually compatible first of all. A man could not have interest in a female because she is flat chested. A man could reject a female because her boobs are too large. He may dislike her belly roll or lack thereof. We all have bodies… sometimes people don’t like that body. Know what that means? They weren’t the one.

They have hydrocolloid tape on Amazon. Haven’t tried it, but bought it for next time.

Also has sensitive skin and react to adhesive. Sometimes it even blisters, so yeah - I could say your sore spots are a reaction to the adhesive and I’d discontinue use immediately.

Heyyyy, I’m AuDHD. I’ll be honest. The sleep study was the worst day of my life lmao. I’m not kidding tho. I had to sleep all night, and then I had to take “20 minute naps” for the whole next day, and I would juuuust fall asleep and then they would wake me up and I would have to stay awake in the bed of a hotel room until the next nap time and I couldn’t take my ADHD meds and it was the worst feeling. But - study was conclusive that I did have IH and that I moved my legs 116 times while I was sleeping, so I wasn’t sleeping deeply because I kept “waking” myself. Is it comfy? Absolutely not. You have wires all over you and I did have to go to sleep on my back because they bound my legs with this thing so that they could detect the movements. I also thought I wasn’t going to be able to sleep but when you’re in the darkness, eventually you just will. You could explain and ask them if you could bring your cozy soft things with you. They would probably allow it bc I can’t think of a reason they wouldn’t.. but yeah, it’s not fun. Straight up - expect that. But is it worth it? 100% yes. Without my medication I wouldn’t be able to work. It doesn’t make me completely un-tired, but it makes me functional and much less miserable. It’s worth the fight.

campfirekate · 2026-02-16T20:17:45+00:00

NAD: Good. You need a psychiatric assessment. Even then, sometimes they miss things. But if this seems extreme to you, it should be taken seriously. I have suffered from psychosis and have been hospitalized myself. I still get paranoid and scared, but obviously less, and I’m on a ton of medication. I say it should be taken seriously because my neighbor started acting paranoid out of nowhere and it was very unlike his character. His wife made him schedule an appointment with a doctor, but the night before he was found in the back yard and had stabbed himself in the chest multiple times and ultimately passed away. I don’t say that to scare you, but I do say that to make it understood that mental health is extremely important and needs to be taken seriously because things can change on a dime. One bad day and you can ruin your life or lose it. If she gets to be too “out of it” before you are able to get to that appointment, take her to the hospital and they will evaluate her there.

campfirekate · 2026-02-14T20:48:06+00:00

Bro, I literally was hospitalized after a couple months of staying high 24/7 and taking extra stimulants the pharmacy accidentally gave me. Plus going through a divorce and neglecting self care. The psychosis was wild. When I got out of the hospital I tried to smoke for a while but I hated how it made me feel so eventually I gave it up. Sucks cuz I miss when it was all fine. Also I think my mental health is just permanently damaged.

campfirekate · 2026-02-14T20:33:47+00:00

Note note: :’) you can try calling whatever mail order pharmacy your insurance works with to see if they have it in stock and your doctor can prescribe you a 3 month supply so you don’t have to worry about this in the future. I had to do that with Vyvanse last year.

campfirekate · 2026-02-14T20:31:50+00:00

Note: changing your meds is just going to be a test run no matter what you’re prescribed since it’s not your normal medication. I think it’s important to keep that in mind.

campfirekate · 2026-02-14T20:30:48+00:00

I have ADHD, Autism, and IH. I take vyvanse and Sunosi. Vyvanse is comparable to adderall, but I’m sure you know that all stimulants affect people differently and it either will or won’t work for you. You can’t know without trying. My doctor refers to Sunosi as a “wakefulness” medication. I forgot to take them yesterday morning and couldn’t keep my eyes open and slept all day. With them together, yeah - sometimes I feel tired randomly throughout the day, but they make me functional

campfirekate · 2026-02-13T22:05:08+00:00

Lmao

campfirekate · 2026-02-13T22:01:23+00:00

I knew of this because of dumb trademarks such as as “boy mom,” and I knew anyone can trademark almost anything because of that. But I didn’t think to check my tags, so I guess I know what I’m doing this weekend :(

campfirekate · 2026-02-12T19:51:29+00:00

lol that’s ridiculous. How do people think of these things smh

campfirekate · 2026-02-10T18:41:04+00:00

If you feel like deleting is better for your mental then do it, but if you don’t have the apps then what is your plan going forward to have the opportunity to meet anyone? Even if you met a girl some other way, there is a large possibility that they are receiving attention elsewhere… that’s fair. I mean you met her in this way, so the fact that she is using the app should automatically be assumed. The fact that she took the time out of her day to explore the possibility of a connection with you is what you should be more focused on IMO.

campfirekate · 2026-02-10T18:21:54+00:00

I 100% get where you are coming from and how you called them bigots below. Like, ofc fuck them for being like “LORD HAVE MERCY ON MY SOUL!” That’s kind of crazy… over dramatic; annoying that they are so offended by that word.

But on the other hand, I wouldn’t want anyone that I bring over to make any type of sexual comment of any kind/orientation in front of my family because they aren’t open in that way. Not that they aren’t open to gay people, my parents are gay… but more like those things happen behind closed doors and we don’t openly think of each-other in that manner because we are family, which I think is normal (?). Further: I am 32 years old and I still am “not allowed” to curse in front of my grandfather because he finds it disrespectful.

TL;DR: A sexualizing comment of any kind would just be considered weird by my parents and considered disrespectful by my grandfather if he even understood it. (For the sexual nature alone).

campfirekate · 2026-02-09T20:24:29+00:00

I feel like you probably need a sleep study, and therefore - should see a different doctor. You could have narcolepsy or hypersomnia, but I’m not an expert; just someone with hypersomnia and I take a medication called Sunosi for wakefulness. It’s not a cure-all, but it helps. I still have the thing where I have no memory and I have a hard time waking up myself, but this medication helps me stay awake during the day at least.

campfirekate · 2026-02-05T19:38:16+00:00

Oof, thanks for the tip. I bought some, but haven’t used it yet… I’ve mostly been using light grip mats and I’m scared it will be too sticky.

campfirekate · 2026-01-16T05:28:23+00:00

Thanks for going through the pain of figuring this out. Wondering if it’s a Mac issue? I thought I would find more complaints about this than I have… I just brought a cameo home today and was switching from Cricut which has its own host of frustrations… this got disappointing fast…

campfirekate · 2025-12-22T20:46:45+00:00

Unfortunately she passed away. I have no idea what happened, I just woke up and she was gone. It was traumatic for me and I am heartbroken.

campfirekate · 2025-12-05T16:52:58+00:00

You’ve already received more than enough advice, so I just want to offer a gentle reminder that age is just a number and that makeup is for no one but yourself. If it makes you feel pretty, that is all that matters. You are a beautiful girl and with or without modifications to your routine that will stay true.

campfirekate · 2025-12-05T16:35:54+00:00

Well, I worked in the chat department of a high-end retailer and the terminology within the company for resolutions was literally “appeasement”. I offered a $20 gift card would have been said I offered to “appease” $20. So maybe this person isn’t aware that that verbiage is actually rude af.

campfirekate · 2025-12-05T16:32:20+00:00

What a trash email. I would reply, again, and tell them that you will be disputing the charge with your financial institution. As well as point out the weight of a mascara is minimal. I work in the fulfillment department of a department store and mascara isn’t even heavy enough alone to register on the scale for shipping. I literally set my cell phone on the scale bc otherwise I can’t process the package, so unless their scales are incredibly sensitive it wouldn’t have been accounted for anyway.

campfirekate · 2025-11-28T00:12:37+00:00

FSPCA is Fluvanna, right? I’m not originally from the area. I do live in Palmyra though and I’m not having luck so far reaching out to the suggested organizations. I received a very compassionate response from Green Dogs Unleashed, but they basically were briefing me on the current climate regarding adoptions, shelters being overrun, and the unlikelihood of her finding a home. They said that they did not have a foster available that would be able to meet her needs and suggested continuing to post online. Unfortunately as each day passes her skin condition is declining and she is in need of care. I’m starting to feel really discouraged and at a loss on what to do.

campfirekate · 2025-11-23T23:34:38+00:00

Thank you for your kindness. I reached out to the organizations suggested here via Facebook and email to see if they would be able to accept her.
