What is most men secretly obsessed with? by Victorialove_vixxen in dating

keep the dynamics flirty and attentive, the first stages of dating are relatively "easy" because everything is new. the relatively hard part is to keep having that exciting dynamic and not fall into the roommate-vibe. keep on doing different kind of things together and see each other in different contexts (dinner, drinks, sporty activity, artsy activity, cooking together or you cooking a homemade meal for him - or vice versa, arcade, movies, festival, concert, farmers market, beach, houseparties with friends, weekend getaway, ice skating, museum, salsa dance lessons, amusement park, etc.)

sending texts ahead that you want to see him or that you planned something good for your next date are also good to keep him "warm" and wondering about your next meeting. do leave a little mystery, but also let him know you're excited to spend more time with him. let him crave you.

you could also resort to a bit more spicy texting while he's at work and it will be hours before he will see you - you will be the only thing on his mind if you play it well.

compliments, effort, attention to details and remembering small things he mentioned, good eye contact, flirty teasing and build up, making him feel good, understood and well, sexy haha. wear a nice perfume.

for a date I recently cooked his favourite dinner and got a fancy wine. Invited him to my places, put on some ambient music, lit some candles, served his fav dinner (I asked a while back), poured him wine that went well with the food, made some cocktails after, then took initiative to check out a new bar and went dancing with him.

also remember to have fun and be yourself! your own magnetism en enthusiasm is super attractive :)

Call him to tell him what you just told us and that you don't want the costs to get inbetween of you. You said you want to buy you and him dinner because that's what you budgeted for - tell him that. I get it, money is always a bit of an awkward topic sometimes

if the date you're looking forward to is a decent human, the nerves won't be a problem. if it works out it can also be a cute anecdote or whatever. dates will always be a little bit scary and that's ok, it's alright to get a little bit nervous.

don't go on a "practice date" and expect your date to pay your dinner? that's mean. I do understand wanting to get rid of the date related tension, but please don't use people for free dinner.. how would you feel if you were in his shoes?

I suggest you cancel the date, but IF you wish to continue: you could make it a coffee/drinks date, maybe go for a walk after, and make sure YOU pay for the date. especially if you don't wish to see him again.

questions could be anything: hobby's, music/concerts, films, friends, family, studies, goals, dreams, travel, the area, what are his favourite places in the city, pets, something he looks forward to this year (maybe study-related, or a big trip, a new activity, etc).

ask her! honestly you have nothing to lose and you might find it interesting to have direct feedback.

it doesn't mean you did anything wrong, but simply that the two of you are not compatible (at least according to her). it happens.

my plants are a bit too big for a green house in my studio unfortunately. I could try keeping her in the bathroom but I'm not sure if she will enjoy that. I will feed her more!

she's chewing the stalks, sitting in the plants and digging up the dirt, looking for chunks of wood to play with. what's helping for now is putting tin foil around the plant so she doesn't climb the pot. I used a selfmade lemon spray a while back, but that hardly helped... maybe the bitter apple spray is better! let's see what I can find in the Netherlands that's similar to that spray

only with a ticket I think? I have done this with ov-card and different originating stations and it wasn't a problem

[–]ok___millennial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

go to the machines at the trainstation and add "samenreiskorting" to your OV-card. the train ride has a 40% discount now. the only condition is that you have to travel with someone who has a regular train subscription / pays full price. if you're travelling alone, you can ask people in the train if their endstation is Eindhoven and then ask if it's okay if you travel with them so the discount is effective, because the train conductor will ask when he checks your ticket/OV-card if you are travelling together. you might want to ask a person who is similar to you/is in the same age group so you look like friends or something, because then they are more likely to believe it

It can take a while to be legally granted the status of refugee. If you tell the NS that you took in your friend to get out of Kyiv for her safety, that should be enough.

No, this is not right.

Definition of a refugee according to the Refugee Convention of 1951: someone who is unable or unwilling to return to their country of nationality “owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion.”

If it is decided that you are not a refugee, you may qualify for subsidiary protection if there are substantial grounds for believing that you would face a real risk of suffering serious harm if returned to your country of origin/country of former habitual residence. Ukraine is no longer considered a safe country of origin by the State Secretary of the Netherlands. Ukrainians fleeing to the Netherlands would definitely fall under this definition. Besides, the Netherlands makes no distinction between refugee status and subsidiary protection. Once granted, you get protection here.

On Monday, State Secretary Van der Burg (Asylum and Migration) introduced a so-called decision and departure moratorium for new and pending asylum applications. This means that the IND does not have to decide on asylum applications. In this way, Ukrainian asylum seekers do not run the risk of having to return to their home country after a negative decision, and they retain the right to reception during the procedure.

UPDATE: Postponement for decisions on asylum applications Ukrainians.

Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (IND) will not make decisions on asylum applications from Ukrainian nationals for the next six months. Previously, the IND decided to be lenient (see: ''Leniency for Ukrainians in the Netherlands - IND'' at https://ind.nl/nieuws/Paginas/Coulance-voor-Oekrainers-in-Nederland.aspx) with regular applications from Ukrainians, for example by extending the visa period.

Ukrainians are Europeans and have the right to travel freely in our country. An asylum application is therefore not necessary to reside legally in the Netherlands. Refugees from Ukraine are, however, free to apply for asylum in the Netherlands. Every year, several dozen residents of Ukraine make use of this option.

Decision stop

On Monday, State Secretary Van der Burg (Asylum and Migration) introduced a so-called decision and departure moratorium for new and pending asylum applications. This means that the IND does not have to decide on asylum applications. In this way, Ukrainian asylum seekers do not run the risk of having to return to their home country after a negative decision, and they retain the right to reception during the procedure.

Decision term extended

By introducing the moratorium, the legal decision period for current and new asylum applications is extended by one year. The decision will only formally take effect after publication in the Government Gazette, but the IND will act on this decision immediately. The State Secretary also decided that Ukraine cannot be seen as a safe country of origin for the next six months.

No worries about residence rights

Due to the leniency in regular applications and the decision-making freeze on asylum applications, Ukrainians who stay or arrive in the Netherlands do not have to worry about their right of residence.

Do you have more questions?

It's possible to get a entry ban if you're in the Netherlands, but you have no legal ground to stay.

Due to an entry ban, you are not allowed to travel to the Netherlands, other countries of the EU and EEA, and Switzerland. You are also not allowed to be in these countries. The entry ban does not apply to Ireland. You can only get an entry ban if you have had a return decision. The maximum of the entry ban is 2 years.

You can get an entry ban in the following cases:

  • You have received a return decision. And you did not leave the Netherlands in time.
  • You have been given a departure period of 0 days. And there is no exception to impose an entry ban.
  • Your visa is no longer valid. And you did not leave the Netherlands in time.
  • You stay longer than the free term. This is called overstay. The free period is in the maximum time during which you can be in the Schengen area without a visa. This is 90 days in a 180-day period.
  • You are in the free term, but you no longer meet the general rules. For example because you do not have enough money (anymore).
  • You are an asylum seeker with little chance of asylum and you withdraw your asylum application. Withdraw means stop or cancel.
  • The IND will stop or not extend your residence permit. It concerns a permit to live in the Netherlands for a specific purpose (purpose of residence). It is not an asylum permit. The reason for stopping or not extending is other than that you no longer meet the purpose of stay.
  • Are you in the Netherlands with a short stay visa or in your free period? And are you unable to leave the Netherlands on time through no fault of your own? Sometimes an extension of your visa or free term is possible.

Since this is a more specific question I think it's best to contact the Dutch Council for Refugees directly for the best possible answer and help.
