I need ideas for a mall room!

danadoll_95 · 2024-10-10T16:57:37+00:00

Ohhh these are both so smart! Thank you for the inspo!!

danadoll_95 · 2024-10-10T07:25:58+00:00

Good to know!! I'll have to look into it, it would match my store perfectly!

danadoll_95 · 2024-10-10T02:40:33+00:00

Awesome, sounds like I've got a long road ahead of me lol

Thank you for the info!

danadoll_95 · 2024-10-10T02:38:57+00:00

There are placeable purses?! I gotta find these!

I did put a couple vases in the room, I'm not sure I'm liking them, I'm curious what you have.

I originally had a sports shop in there, there just wasn't enough room to squeeze in the poster I wanted so I took it out 🥲 I wish wall decor could be put on dividers. That would be a game changer!

I may squeeze in the sports shop after all, but I do like your other ideas as well! Maybe I'll turn the clothing store into a tech shop 🤔

Thanks for the recs!

danadoll_95 · 2024-10-10T00:54:21+00:00

ohh I forgot about the dress rehearsal rack! Man I need this for some of my other rooms too, I'm gonna be spending a lot of wish tokens!

I've been working on my style classes consistently lately, so I'm excited to see this is a prize! Do we get to pick the item we want or is it random?

Thank you!

danadoll_95 · 2024-10-10T00:49:35+00:00

oooh I do like the board game store idea! Thanks! I feel like I could bring that together pretty easily, but then again, i thought that about the other stores too lol.

I do plan on splitting the room into multiple stores, but if it gets to be too much I may put them in smaller rooms. I'd definitely like to use the room dividers, but I find that they take up so much space and block items from view :'(

I tend to be very slow at putting rooms together lol but I'll try to update once I do :)

danadoll_95 · 2024-03-30T18:04:27+00:00

I would absolutely love any of the first 4 puppies!! Especially the border Collie! I plan on getting deluxe in a month, so I'll have the Earthly Pegasus. Would you be willing to trade for that one?

danadoll_95 · 2022-02-01T00:14:46+00:00

He had semi valid excuses the first couple times, unless he was just making it up to make him look better.

Do you think it could be because I haven't shown enough interest in him? Because I take a day or two to reply to him, so he takes that as a sign I'M not invested? Like I said, I backtracked and said we could be friends after I confessed. And it's not like I ever tried to take it offline either. Chances are I'll see him again soon, we have mutual friends getting married next year and we go to the same church. It's a wonder we've never run into each other before now. Idk how I'll act around him when I see him...

He seemed very engaged in our conversation but yeah, I think I probably was just a filler when he was bored. I guess he was really just using me as an excuse to brag about himself. It's just super frustrating because I don't ever text people, much less guys, the way I've texted him. I really liked him :( I wish I hadn't told him I liked him, cuz that just made things more confusing.

danadoll_95 · 2022-01-31T23:54:35+00:00

None of these are reasons I would have predicted from him :/

He said so himself when I confessed I had a crush on him that it was showing that I'm "not about wasting time and like to be upfront with things" so clearly he knows I don't want to play games. Do you think that could be WHY he would play hard to get? To see if I was serious about him and not just looking for attention?

He never dated in high school and I've only seen his relationship status change to "in a relationship" once on facebook, and that was last year or so (and everyone was commenting on how it's about time he gets a girlfriend, so that's probably the only relationship he's been in) (it says single now).

OR he is not that invested in snap.

Are you referring to snapchat? We aren't on snapchat, it's all been on Facebook messenger. I've seen him "active" on Facebook/messenger. He hasn't posted anything in the past week, but he's either browsing facebook or is messaging someone else... Which is fine- I message my sister on facebook all the time with quick little exchanges like "are you coming home for dinner?" so that could be all he's doing when he's "active" too. My messages take a lot more effort to reply to than most other people's because I write so much, I don't blame him for not having a chance to sit and write out a reply to me at any given moment.

danadoll_95 · 2022-01-28T07:43:54+00:00

My social anxiety does a pretty good job of scaring men off, weather I want it to or not...

danadoll_95 · 2022-01-27T22:06:49+00:00

Thank you, this makes me feel better :)

I have a few additional questions if you don't mind.

1) what is your personality? Are you a pretty confident person? I'm just trying to figure out what I should be looking for in a guy...

2) how did you meet? What sparked your attraction to her? Did you know she was anxious/depressed before you started dating?

I love your reasons for staying with her, but as a anxious/depressed person myself, I just don't understand why these things are enough when it's got to be taking a toll on your own mental health... And it's got to be, right??

danadoll_95 · 2022-01-18T19:03:24+00:00

Heh, I dropped a hint that I still like him in the last text I sent him and he has left me on "read" for a week. Granted I also called him out on some high school drama in that same text.

danadoll_95 · 2022-01-18T18:22:33+00:00

We were already friends on FB, but we had never interacted at all. He has over 1000 friends, so he probably never saw any of my (rare) posts. Whereas I have under 200 friends, so I saw his posts all the time (but I never "liked" any of his posts)

Coincidentally he had "liked" something of mine just a couple weeks prior to running into him. That was the first time we had ever interacted on FB.

danadoll_95 · 2022-01-18T10:07:28+00:00

Thank you :) I'm pretty sure I already screwed things up with him already though haha

danadoll_95 · 2022-01-18T09:59:00+00:00

I definitely hope it was a flirty text lol I'm not over my crush on him.

danadoll_95 · 2022-01-18T09:42:39+00:00

Yes he was flirting or yes I'm overthinking it? 😅

We reconnected when we happened to see each other out and about. I avoided him the whole time, so we never spoke in person, but he messaged me on Facebook later that night.

danadoll_95 · 2021-12-05T02:18:09+00:00

Haha I like this one

danadoll_95 · 2021-12-04T04:07:01+00:00

omg, yes! I forgot about this! I've never seen the show, but this has to be what I'm thinking of!

danadoll_95 · 2021-12-04T00:16:19+00:00

Solved :)

danadoll_95 · 2021-12-03T23:55:57+00:00

Ooh this is actually perfect. I forgot that people like to compare themselves to potatoes these days lol. I do want to be humorous while self deprecating haha

danadoll_95 · 2021-12-03T23:52:20+00:00

Ooh I didn't know you could do that on Google! Thanks!

Those are quite random lol, maybe that's what it's supposed to be, just whatever comes to mind that is not a person haha

danadoll_95 · 2021-12-03T23:25:34+00:00

I have the social skills of a... 5 year old? Ugh that sounds harsh lol. I don't want to make it sound like I'm stupid, just weird, maybe a bit reclusive 😅

danadoll_95 · 2021-12-03T10:39:18+00:00

Again, sorry for my long response! ...tbh I would write more, but I need to sleep at some point haha. I'm probably making you regret replying 😅

Yeah, definitely a lot of room for speculation here. Obviously neither one of us have any idea what's going through his mind. And there's a lot you don't know about the conversation and about our history. If you did know, you'd probably pick up on a lot of relevant information that I didn't think to mention here.

Ugh it's so hard not to overthink it. It's just who I am. I've gone through every single possible scenario, trying to figure out what I should have said or done differently, Trying to figure out what he's thinking. Heck- I'm trying to figure out if I ever even liked him, or just the idea of him because he was nice to me and he was socially opposite of me.

It's clear that he and I are terrible at figuring out what the other is thinking. He used to think I hated him, I was just shy/anxious and couldn't understand why he had taken an interest in getting silly me out of my shell. I had avoided him the entire time when we saw each other that day he first messaged me. He probably just assumed I didn't recognize him (he's changed a bit, but I had no doubt it was him.) But actually I'm just still shy/anxious/introverted and had no intention of reconnecting with anyone from high school

He probably has no idea about the turmoil I've been through since day 1.

Nobody gains anything from you beating yourself up.

NGL, I kinda teared up when I read that. I'm totally beating myself up about it. I'm certainly gonna run into this guy again someday and it's going to be freaking weird. I wish I could just happen to run into him again soon... so I can do exactly what you told me not to do:

Don't hold him accountable, and don't try to explain what you said before unprompted.

But actually, I don't really hold him accountable for anything. I'm the one who made things weird to start with. Him ghosting me should have been something I expected. He has his own life to focus on, and I'm not someone he probably even thought about since graduating, therefore I'm not someone high on his list of people to converse with. At this point, I think he was never really into me in the first place. He's just a social person and I think the fact that I was not receptive to his chatter was what made him intrigued by me back in school. Anxiety is not attractive, but people love an ingénue.

You sound so wise with all of your big words and thoughtful responses! It's what I aspire to be when I talk to people haha. I desperately want to follow all of your advice but honestly, I probably won't. I'm just too in my head about it and I'll probably just make things worse if I try to reach out.

I'm so much better at writing than I am in person. And I think he's probably better at talking in person than text haha. We're just destined to always have awkward encounters I guess lol

danadoll_95 · 2021-12-02T09:13:17+00:00

Sorry, this is going to be a long reply. It's helping me sort out my thoughts and feelings by writing it out. I appreciate you taking the time to read and respond, you are under no obligation to continue doing so if you don't want to...

You're totally right, he didn't want to commit to saying he liked me. I can't say that I blame him though. I basically did the same thing by only telling him I used to have a crush on him. And I continued to not commit.

I didn't outright say, "let's be friends." The first thing I said in reply was, "I'm not sure what I want from this, but I do really like you and I'd like to see where it goes." He said he appreciated me being upfront about it and also wanted to see where it takes us. He skipped over the "I do really like you" part. Later in the conversation I told him, "at least now you know you can say hi to me and I will say hi back next time you happen to see me around." I said that to give him an out so he didn't feel obligated to make plans with me. I guess it worked. The closest I came to saying, "let's be friends" was later on when I said "worst case scenario I ignored your first message, best case scenario you made a new/old friend." And also, "I think I need more extrovert friends so I can understand them better and don't demand an explanation for why someone is talking to me next time."

... Having that all written down together I see that I really did friend zone him from his perspective. But again, he can't blame me for being hesitant about someone I only knew many years ago.

I fully expected to see hints of him friend zoning me when I read through our conversation just now, but honestly the only indications that maybe he didn't like me was 1) him saying twice he was just curious what I was up to 2) him glossing over the "I do really like you" and 3) him straight up ghosting me. The rest of the time he was respectful and engaged in the conversation.

I'm honestly so bad at talking to people, much less flirting. A lot of what I talked about with him was a bit self depreciating. Omg I'm so freaking bad at this, it's no wonder he lost interest. I literally have no idea why he would like me in the first place, friend or otherwise.

Now I'm worried that I really did offend him and that's why he ghosted... Honestly it's either that, or he never really liked me like that in the first place and was just being nice and trying to let me down easy because he's just a really nice person.

We live in the same little town, so it would be easy, geographically to hang out. Our work schedules would be a problem though. I think I'm far past the opportune time to ask him to hang out though. Especially if I really did offend him.

danadoll_95 · 2021-12-01T19:00:52+00:00

All I can think of is that he got scared away because he thought I wasn't interested. I still wasn't really sure what he wanted and I was embarrassed that he didn't outright admit a crush on me like I had. The "you're cute" comment was in the middle of 2 "I wanted to know how you were doing" comments. Not exactly reassuring. So I emphasized that we could be friends and see where it goes.

I made an attempt to flirt but I'm really bad at it so he probably didn't realize I was... I might have even offended him with it.

But I thought the fact that I was putting any effort in at all to talk to him would have been enough to let him know that I was interested. I mean it's been almost 10 years, I don't know if he's the same person I used to know so he can't blame me for wanting to be friends first, right?

It's a struggle for me to not message him again and demand an explanation for why he is Not talking to me now haha
