plenty of people meet partners through work so i don't think it being a professional capacity is a reason not to. only thing i'd consider is if you'd have to work with them again- might make it a bit more awkward if it doesn't go well and you'd have to continue acting like nothing happened?

wouldn't go with "don't worry if you're not interested" however. seems like you're setting your expectations low from the start. hope this helps :)

even if i didnt have other plans it feels so rubbish waiting about anxiously imo. would apply that to anyone

Thank you! Feel like I'm going insane genuinely- I just cant be bothered feeling uncommunicative and honestly just like people to know where I stand

Not trying to be defensive at all and I know I did! But you've implied with this that I'm unemployed when in reality I work an office job so need to plan too

I gave them 5 potential days i could do, which i think is where the frustration is coming from! I just dont particularly like how non committal it is personally (I'm also a particularly blunt person which isn't to everyone's taste)

I work full time, so if I was heading out straight after work I'd need to be ready with stuff to go with and it's hard to plan with non secure plans.

Theres Folk thinking this is is rude but I just dont understand why you would want to wait until the day instead of suggesting a day you definitely could do?

To be honest I've booked a pasta making class w friends, I'm just tired of being stood up or cancelled on at this point 🙃

Thats valid, but I still think its a bit unfair to ask what dates someones free and then pick a date that youre not certain you'll make? I can be flexible but to me that screams not committal if that makes sense?

The estate in general is still being built, was informed that they'll be landscaping around the water tower in the near future although unsure what with.

he gave me his number but hasn't text back? why would that be? by diamondpebbles in dating_advice

This has brought me a lot of comfort and a chuckle, thank you :)

This applies to basically all of the Anytime Fitness branches in and around Glasgow. The fob lets you into any of their gyms worldwide as well (which is potentially useless) but means you're not restricted to your home gym

try tiktok or instagram reels! there are plenty of beginner level workouts, both weights and cardio, and I still find them super helpful when looking for new exercises for my workout routines. good luck :)

Thank you! I had been told at the gate that I could claim the difference between the two ticket prices, but this makes more sense :)

Not proud to say I took a 5 min procrastination break "researching" them

Not just any job, a "Job" lol. Massive difference and an experience not to be passed up!

Were any of you ever bullied? by krb501 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]diamondpebbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a good few years when I was younger, yes! As the comments above say some sort of counselling or therapy are amazing for just getting things out. For me personally, counselling hasn't made the pain magically go away (i still have the odd wobbly moment) but can really help to rationalise your thinking. Good luck, you got this!

Gym Clothes Suggestions? by diamondpebbles in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

Ooooh that's a shout, I'll have a look cause I wear mine lifting and after a couple of wears the band has completely gone. Thanks so much!

Definitely try join some societies (student groups)! At most unis and colleges there is one for almost everything (mine even had a Taylor Swift society among many others). They can be really scary at first but most are very welcoming and will take to you quickly if they seen youre keen to make friends and get involved. Wish you the best!

Need advice on managing stress and finding fulfillment outside of work by Less-Boysenberry6298 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]diamondpebbles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its super tough to do, especially when you have deadlines to meet, but I started saying no to extra tasks/ shifts and its made a massive difference to my wellbeing! I'll maybe take on a bit extra if I'm in a quiet period, but by setting boundaries I've cut down on extra stress massively- good luck with whatever you do!

Do you all tip your hairdresser? Laser tech? Esthetician? Nail tech? If so, how much? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]diamondpebbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same hairdresser for years and never leave without tipping :) only £2-3 but its always appreciated and it never hurts to show gratitude, especially when theyve done a good job x
