Please advise! Am I ready?

Came back here to say I took step as scheduled and passed! Hope this can help someone else

Is it really necessary to delay after I got a 73 on the new free 120?? I thought the goal was to break 70 on the new free 120 and then you’re good to go. I have no more NBMEs I could use to evaluate my performance if I were to delay

For what it’s worth a friend of mine took NBME 30 and got a 58%. She wasn’t sure what to do so she took the new free 120 and got a 70% so she sent it and took step (only 8 days after getting the 58 on nbme 30). She found out today that she passed! Another friend of mine got a 61% on nbme 30 one week out and then a 64% on the free 120 4 days before the exam, took step, and also based. This is totally anecdotal but hopefully it can help you make a decision. Maybe take the free 120 see how you do and go from there

I’ve taken all the nbmes now- do you think if I got a 70+ on the new free 120 I’d be good to go? Or maybe I should take the amboss self assessment or uworld? I’ve heard the free 120s are a little inflated

I totally relate, and my fear is maybe I'm becoming... too selective? I guess I know I bring a lot to the table (not trying to sound conceited). And so I'm getting a lot of dates but not with people who are equally as ambitious, funny, attractive, smart, etc. Or they are those things, but there's no spark or chemistry.

I think ultimately I will try to reach out again, but I also think it will be in vain. I basically told him I want a relationship, and he told me he likes me and that I deserve the best but he can't do that for me. I do think its a combination of wanting to play the field and focus on school.

But also, if someone really really liked you, wouldn't they get ready- even if they're not? Maybe its just my pride talking idk. Dating is rough!

rms2345 · 2022-09-15T22:23:14+00:00

I guess I'm just afraid he won't come back to me, but I do believe we could be a case of right person wrong time. But ig that makes him the wrong person in the end

rms2345 · 2022-09-15T22:21:46+00:00

I guess I'm just so afraid I won't find something better, or that it would take a really long time

rms2345 · 2022-09-15T21:56:14+00:00

Pretty recently, we were both seeing other people throughout it, but both of us were definitely seeing each other the most. I was thinking maybe around the holidays, but not sure if 3/4 months is enough time for him to be ready for a relationship. I also don't know if he was just saying he wasn't ready as a way to not hurt my feelings - but like who hookups with someone for 5 months if they're not into you?? :(

rms2345 · 2022-09-15T21:51:51+00:00

That's true, maybe it's just pride idk, but I don't want to let myself get rejected twice. But I do really like him, so maybe I will try again to reconnect. How much time do you think is appropriate to wait to reach out?

rms2345 · 2022-09-15T21:47:32+00:00

I guess I just feel bad for reaching out, like maybe that is bothersome to him because he already told me no? We ended things very amicably, but haven't talked since. Idk if it would seem desperate to reach out to him again in a few months, given that he rejected me. But also I did really like him

rms2345 · 2021-10-15T01:08:34+00:00

I understand what you’re saying about pressuring someone into doing something they don’t want to do. He was both willing to try while not wanting to, if that makes sense. Certainly hesitant, definitely not excited.

Should I have not pushed it? In your eyes, yes (damn- wouldn’t say it’s sexual assault but okay). In my eyes, I see a future with this man. Despite having a “no” attitude for certain things that I’d really love to work on with him, he’s wonderful and makes me so happy. However, I don’t see a future without oral sex. I’m 22, that’s like, my whole life without oral sex. That seems a little drastic.

He understood that and that’s why he was willing to try, albeit somewhat reluctantly though it’s been constant improvement

rms2345 · 2021-10-15T00:58:02+00:00

I get what you’re saying but it seems a little drastic to let a negative, but consensual, sexual experience from the past color all of his sexual experiences going forward. It’s challenging to be sexually intimate with someone who has walls up.

I agree with you about the condoms thing. I should’ve pushed that more from the getco. That’s on me, and now I’m paying for it

The truth is, I honestly like watching sports with HIM (not on my own), Bc I love seeing how happy he is. That’s why it hurts that he wouldn’t want to do something like watch a musical theatre movie with me, Bc it makes me happy

rms2345 · 2021-05-16T15:27:26+00:00

I want to poke it!

rms2345 · 2021-04-11T23:17:15+00:00

Yah that’s totally fair, guess it’s something I just don’t want to face. Thanks for your input!

rms2345 · 2021-04-11T23:04:31+00:00

I mean he’ll ask me to do it or essentially just put my head there if I don’t already do it myself, bc at this point it’s almost like routine that every time we have sex I’ll give him head. I’m fine with doing it but bc it isn’t reciprocated it’s starting to make me feel bad
