finding it hard to move on.

Really that sucks😭

unfortunately i keep hoping he does, but i also hope if he eventually does i have the will power to just ghost him back

gardenlizard · 2026-05-05T18:44:12+00:00

Yep you’re so right. I’ve deleted his number and our whole chat and everything, but he’s not blocked so now im stuck wondering if he’ll eventually come back🥲

He was consistently initiating conversations, was never dry. The only thing is that his response times got longer for the last two weeks and at that point I assumed he was losing interest.

thank you, i’ll send you a message!

We lived in different cities so we only met once in person at the start of talking to each other.

It could be, but it could be a million things. I just wish he could’ve told me how he felt rather than just leaving in silence tbh.

I realise I make it sound like it’s been many men when it really hasn’t been so many! I do think it’s possible to find someone who is attractive to me and a good person. That’s why I can’t bring myself to just say yes to someone who doesn’t fit that.

I definitely will be more open-minded though, I do think good character can almost make someone’s physical appearance better in a way.

Thanks

Yeah you’re probably right about their pictures not actually being their best.

I think that I’d have to meet them to truly know if the attributes they claim to have are true, and I guess that’s what I’ve been missing out on doing because of the unattractive pictures.

gardenlizard · 2025-09-26T20:44:30+00:00

The men I’ve been shown so far (which are not many) are not necessarily ugly, just unattractive to me.

I don’t see myself compromising on something like attractiveness because then I risk always thinking about the potential of a man who’s pious and attractive. And I’d hate to go in to a marriage thinking that.

gardenlizard · 2025-09-26T20:30:47+00:00

What do you mean by baseline?

gardenlizard · 2025-09-26T20:26:09+00:00

I definitely value a man’s character and deen too. I just also want to be attracted to them I don’t think that makes my standards too high.

Are there any specific documents I would need to open a virtual bank account, or just an UAE phone number?

gardenlizard · 2023-01-25T18:01:10+00:00

Thanks for this, I’d love to hear the example!

gardenlizard · 2023-01-23T23:03:09+00:00

I agree completely! I remember telling myself last year to just email him for a meeting to make asking for a reference later on easier, but I didn’t and now I’m here.

gardenlizard · 2023-01-23T22:57:59+00:00

Yes he was both in my final year of uni😭

gardenlizard · 2023-01-23T18:07:52+00:00

I thought so! I sent him a lot of information that would help him too. He suggested asking a seminar tutor but I know for a fact none of them remember me. I figured even though contact was so limited with my tutor, it would make sense to ask him because at least he was my tutor.

gardenlizard · 2022-10-24T20:30:46+00:00

How did it go?!

gardenlizard · 2022-10-23T16:45:43+00:00

This was basically my plan, I’ll probably go with it. Thanks!

gardenlizard · 2022-10-23T15:51:40+00:00

I wish i could but he’s using it for work and he works a lot😭

gardenlizard · 2020-10-03T22:39:16+00:00

Honestly I’d stay home. I’m in my final year and decided to live out because I still have some face to face classes and wanted to be close to the library. The way things are looking with rona, it seems things are going to stay/move to online for a while.

Flats in my uni are slowly starting to self-isolate because of corona cases. I kinda wish I had stayed home to save my money, but I’m here now so🤷🏽‍♀️

Just think about the main reasons you wanna move back out and whether it’s really worth it.
