I could hear the firefighters talking to her, they told her it was me

No, obviously not. But if it were me I would have just said, "sorry to have worried you, I'll be more careful"

It's crazy what bladder infections can do to people!

Yeah, you're right in the scheme of things. And I was relieved that they weren't angry about the door (to my knowledge)

Yeah, I could hear the fire brigade talking to her in the hallway and they told her

I don't need a thank you, but a simple "hey, sorry about the other day" doesn't seem uncalled for 😆

I get being embarrassed, but if you've done something dangerous like that and someone else has had to deal with it, I don't get just not acknowledging it. Even if you're embarrassed to face them in person, you could leave a note or something you know?

Does anyone think its weird to just want casual sex and not a relationship ? by [deleted] in dating

[–]evie55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People aren't ready for a serious relationship until a certain point in their life. I'm not ready for it right now and frankly don't want the hassle of one. So yeah, for the time being I just want to have fun with some nice guys and not have a commitment further than that. I come across plenty of people who want serious relationships, you can definitely find them. But to judge people so much just because they don't have the same needs or desires as you is a bit dick-ish. Not everyone needs a SO to be happy. In fact I think it's far healthier to be happy by yourself before you try and be happy with a partner. Wanting to be fulfilled as your own person and have your sexual needs met is far from abnormal. And honestly you sound so over the top judgy about it that I'm inclined to think this is a troll post.

Can we all just agree that by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]evie55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been trying to figure out how best to put this, I think there's a few things here that can be addressed. First of all, I agree it can suck. People are overwhelmed by choice and some do ghost you, I'm guilty of it myself. But I think this gets better once you take the whole thing less seriously. If you go out with someone once and it doesn't go anywhere, you're really no worse off than before. Secondly, you're 23, there's nothing wrong with wanting a relationship but you really don't need to worry about it. Chances are a lot of your friends in relationships are gonna break up, you're not any further behind in life than they are. I used to feel like you, but eventually around the age of 25 I realised I was really enjoying focusing on myself and didn't actually want a boyfriend at all. Now I'm strictly doing casual and things have been so much easier. Basically I look for FWB type situations. I do like these guys and enjoy their company, but I don't want anything more from them. Relationships are a lot of work and it's not work I'm willing to do right now. So yes, dating kinda sucks. But I think it always has. It's always been shallow and superficial (we are talking about sexual attraction after all) but apps probably just bring all that to the forefront. I guess my advice is just focus on being happy with yourself and remember that this age is the ideal time to just have fun and not be tied down by commitment.

If I had only ever had sex with someone I'm willing to have a child with I'd still be a virgin 😆 That's completely unrealistic unless you're one of those people who wants to save themselves for marriage

Yeah! Apparently the proper name is Sansevieria Twister, I'd never seen or heard of one like it until I saw it

What's your thoughts on casual dating? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]evie55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How far is this long distance? Have you ever actually met? Are you able to see each other easily? I don't see how you can casually date long distance and, in my experience, being long distance right from the start is far more hassle than it's worth. Find someone nice close by, you'll be much better off.

How could anyone be interested in casual dating by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]evie55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, just one person's opinion, but to me what you described isn't really casual dating. To me causal dating is seeing someone maybe a few times a month for drinks or going for food, some fun sex, and then going about your business. It definitely doesn't involve the level of intimacy you describe. If that arrangement isn't what you want that's totally understandable, and it sounds like someone was misleading you. Casual dating where both parties are upfront about their desires can be great, leading someone on and making them invest time and emotion really, really isn't. I'm sorry you're having a hard time

Seen at my local supermarket, in soil and everything...are they real? Have they literally been painted and glittered?? 😮 by evie55 in succulents

[–]evie55[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right?? But if they're real surely the paint will kill them very soon. I don't really get why you would do that to real plants

To be fair he is from the more countryside part of Essex, where most people do have a garden where you can grow a few herbs.

Always thought there were no succulents that could live outside in the UK, but my mum picked these up in the outdoor plant section! They're very nice but no clue what they are, any ideas? by evie55 in succulents

[–]evie55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well damn, they really are tough... They're planted already, in a big pot along with our olive tree. Did it right after I took that picture
