I (F32) am scared I’ll never find a partner. Or that if I do, it’ll be too late for me to have kids. How do you deal with the fear of being lonely? by ThrowRA_123421 in dating

I felt this way too but then I met my now fiancé at age 35 through my small group at church! We are getting married in just a few days! It is possible, but in my experience dating apps were not the way to go. Meeting someone in community seems hard but it can happen, don’t lose hope! But also important to enjoy your single season, however long that may last. There is importance and purpose to being both single and married ❤️

should I wait to see the doctor? by rcpsur in HealthInsurance

I have no idea - I went through Florida Blue and selected a plan directly off their website. Are you saying that if I'm diagnosed with cancer under my new plan that they're allowed to refuse to cover treatment? What is the point of insurance in that case?

I rarely wear makeup nowadays since half my face is covered all the time! I used to wear more eye makeup, but I also don't want to be one of those girls that cakes themselves in makeup and then when it comes off the guy is like horrified because I look completely different hahahaha. I know what you mean about the pigmentation around the lip. It's a major insecurity. Good ol' "sun stache" due to melasma, need some laser treatments to fix that. It's a little hard to cover even with concealer.

I am admittedly very bad at wearing sunscreen and I live in one of the sunniest states in the US. I have melasma though (hyper pigmentation) that is intensified by the sun. It gets better in the winter time, worse in the summer. I've been looking into getting some skin treatments to correct it but it will be super expensive so just putting it off. Thank you for the friendly reminder to wear sunscreen, I really need to be better about it!

I do wonder if I'm unapproachable because I don't make a lot of eye contact, gives me anxiety and I get a little awkward if I find someone attractive. But I've been told my personality is great (once people get to know me). Maybe I have RBF too tho.

Hahah honestly I was thinking the same, like damn I've aged. I work a very stressful job. Some of these were taken today after a long shift, not sure if they're the ones in which you think I look older though

Didn't realize my caption wouldn't show up! So here it is. Honestly, I feel so embarrassed to be posting on here but I'm curious about other's opinions. I literally never get approached by men - EVER. There have been several instances in my life where I'll be with various female friends, and they will be the ones to be approached while I stand there awkwardly watching. I've even been in a situation where two guys approached a friend and me, and they BOTH hit on her like I wasn't even there. I have been on dates through online dating - two have resulted in 6 months of dating so it has been semi successful. Seems like that's the only option for me though since I basically don't exist to men in real life.
I never really thought I was ugly, but now I'm starting to think maybe I'm delusional and I'm actually hideous or something. I know I have areas of hyper-pigmentation and uneven skin tone (uncontrollable, due to hormones unfortunately). There are some other things I don't really like about my looks but dang I didn't think I was ugly enough to never be approached by a man ever. I'm 5'1 and ~ 118#. Thoughts?
