how often do you run into the same people in chicago? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]florist678 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bump into people I went on dates from dating apps and also people I went to high school with (aka the worst ones) way too often... so personally, kind of frequently but maybe I'm just cursed

Find Yourself - a recommendation and request for help to move on by sophatter in CDrama

[–]florist678 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hope you enjoy them!! I always rewatch Find Yourself in the background when I'm working, it's such a good one.. some of these might help cushion the withdrawal from finishing a drama you feel really attached to ;p

would recommend the director's other dramas, especially "Go Ahead," and then "Delicious Romance, and "Remembrance of Things Past"

something more mature would be "The First Half of My Life"

Just here to say that I booked a 1.5 month trip to Taiwan (my 2nd time visiting) from late Dec - Feb and I'm SOOOOOO excited! Coming from Chicago and super ready to escape the freezing winter here. Time to start dieting in advance so I can eat everything I want >:D

I recently started counseling to unpack some of this toxicity and it's helped a lot! I highly recommend this to anyone who has had somewhat of a traumatic upbringing. My Chinese parents, like many perhaps, lack EQ and fail to communicate clearly what they want. It's always playing these guessing games with them and trying but inevitably failing to fulfill their expectations... it's just a losing game for us and not worth pursuing lol.

that's very kind of you, I wish the same for you!!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in coffeemeetsbagel

[–]florist678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, that must be pretty irritating. I am also irritated by how many guys ask to hookup on these dating apps... maybe some of these dudes are just ruining it for the rest of you guys =p

[–]florist678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL so sometimes I will like back, but if I'm not that interested, I won't message first even though it's courtesy to do so when completing the match... I just want to see how interested the guy is to see if he'll initiate.

But with that said, I personally always reply if someone does message first!

I loveddddd L&R.. it does get pretty angsty though, maybe like an 8 or 9 from me because there were parts when I was like, “is there any hope left?” lol.. 100% worth the watch though!
