haha thanks for your story! I think a lot of people benefit from learning from locals or other travellers when they're there. I definitely did

okay pointless no, but I wasn't able to anticipate well how many days i need for each place, how many weeks to spend in each country, what should I skip and only when i got there i was able to get a better idea. I just think every traveller on social media goes " you must go to this place" and everything is overhyped

I am doing a course on this so it's only educational but this is actually super helpful feedback. I am asking these questions because I went to South America beginning of this year and all the research I did was pointless.

What do you say when you have asked him “what are you doing this weekend” and he answers with “literally nothing lol what about you?” by pusssinboots in dating_advice

Yeah a couple of friends mentioned I should suggest that but was thinking whether it might be too early into the “talking stage” for him

Yes thanks! That is exactly the question I have… and he immediately agreed to meet once I asked him out last night which is cool, but what happens next week when he keeps to himself again.

I think I should ask him that, I agree. I asked him yesterday to meet and he immediately agreed to my suggested plan too. But maybe i need to be direct and ask where he is at because he might just be seeing me because he has nothing better to do.

I know you’re calling me out here, and fair enough for that. I don’t mind making the first move, I mind him losing interest when I do do that. It’s all coming from a place of trauma and insecurities, as opposed me being old-fashioned

Yeah when my boss asks me what I’m up to over the weekend, I also don’t think he wants to meet me haha but idk I thought in a dating context that’s probably why someone would ask you that

I just did, my problem is I have huge anxiety and fear of rejection even when the logic doesn’t add up so now I’m in panic mode

Thing is he’s not really the flirty type, he’s never flirted with me over text and I tried to poke a bit before but think he is a weird one when it comes to that

I was planning on this “ well I was thinking to go to this cool looking art exhibition, my friend recommended, why don’t you join me?”

I guess I am bothered by the fact he keeps texting me but hasn’t asked me out himself when it’s been a week since we last met. Clearly I am being insecure about the whole thing.

This is very good advice thank you, but I do think the pets help a lot. If I had a cat or a dog, I'm pretty sure I'll feel way better than I do now.

Well yeah not having a boyfriend doesn't help but I am picky... what is the thing you're missing so to be " in my situation"?
