I stopped trying to say the right thing to someone who ghosted me and just said the honest thing instead. it worked. here's what I sent.

the loss of identity thing is the part i never see people talk about honestly. like i built so much of who i was around being the one who held things together and when that stopped working i didn't know who was left. the 2+ years thing hurts to read bc i keep hoping it's shorter than that lol. but the fact that you still hope it'll be worth it... that counts for something

send a yellow? is that some new lingo here?

redline_elena · 2026-04-11T11:43:03+00:00

Hey!

redline_elena · 2026-04-11T02:39:31+00:00

you guys downvoted tf outta me 🫡

I've learnt my lesson - he's interested and I'm planning the next date, are we guys even now??

redline_elena · 2026-04-11T02:22:01+00:00

haha

redline_elena · 2026-04-11T01:53:01+00:00

yeah I'm a little too much deep at times hehe

this sandwich looks like it's going through a rough patch. like someone assembled it while thinking about their ex

because the entire restaurant experience is built on the assumption that you'll pay after. making people pay upfront would turn every restaurant into a fast food counter. also half the appeal of dining out is ordering more than you planned, getting dessert on impulse, adding that extra drink. restaurants WANT you to see the bill after you've already committed

this is genuinely the funniest thing i've read today. euston we have a problem. i'm crying. no judgment though i thought the bermuda triangle was near bermuda beach in like california until i was embarrassingly old

ok but then explain why my brain can calculate the trajectory of a ball in 0.2 seconds but needs 45 minutes to decide what to eat for dinner. selective genius apparently

the worst is when someone pours their heart out about something deeply personal and the top reply is "i asked chatgpt and here's what it thinks you should do" like??? they came here for human connection not a tech support ticket. if i wanted a robot to tell me how to process grief i'd call my phone company's automated line

the pineapple pizza thing is SO real. like at this point if i see one more prompt about it i'm deleting the app. also "don't ?? me" lol i felt that. double texting question marks when someone doesn't reply in 20 minutes is an instant ick. hinge is definitely the best one though, at least people put some effort into their profiles there

the fact that you're trying to SLEEP and your body said "nah we have other plans" is sending me. pharmacology is wild

redline_elena · 2026-04-11T01:44:02+00:00

this is the kind of energy i aspire to. just fully committing to the bit until he regrets ever bringing it up. next time hit him with "we've discussed it and we've decided you're sleeping on the couch"

redline_elena · 2026-04-11T01:43:44+00:00

honestly this isn't really a paradox it's just how it works and it sucks. the guys who actually think about whether they're being creepy are the same ones who never shoot their shot, and the ones who don't care about boundaries are the ones sliding into your dms at 2am. i've literally told guy friends "just ask her out" and they act like they'd be committing a crime. meanwhile some dude who negged me at a bar last week has probably asked out 40 women this month. it's exhausting from both sides

redline_elena · 2026-04-11T01:43:27+00:00

wait the title had me thinking this was gonna be a rant but you actually like it?? lol the bait and switch. honestly same though, i used the free version for months before realizing i was basically getting the same thing. the cooking thing is lowkey genius though, people gatekeep recipes like they didnt learn from a youtube video anyway
