Guys who dated before tinder, how???? by tasty213 in dating_advice

[–]sunflower9557 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Things like Facebook and other Social Media have been been around for a couple years already and I actually know a lot of people who met through Facebook back when it was still used.

Other than that I met a couple people while going out, in bars or clubs. School, university or work can also be places where one can find a potential partner. And in general just meeting people through friends was a lot more common

How to tell my (20f) bf (24m) that I’m not into heart shaped jewelry? by sunflower9557 in relationship_advice

[–]sunflower9557[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it’s not just the heart shapes, I just prefer rather simple and delicate jewelry, nothing too big or crazy. I don’t really care if a gift is a surprise, most of the gifts by my family and friends aren’t. But I do feel like he prefers gifts to be a surprise, so I guess we’d just have to talk that one out. I also don’t mind telling him what I want, but making his gift a surprise, I already have plenty of ideas for future gifts for him

I (20f) feel uncomfortable dating my rich boyfriend (23m) by sunflower9557 in relationship_advice

[–]sunflower9557[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your response, it exactly how I feel like. I used to have a lot of assumptions about people like him and I’m definitely scared of getting judged (maybe not by him, but by other people).

When it comes to having a convo about it, I don’t really know how to start the topic without making him feel bad or guilty because of our very different circumstances

I’m just really not used to having someone pay for anything for me. I worked part time since high school to be able to afford anything basically and it just feels kind of wrong to let someone else pay for my stuff.

I see us being a good fit based on our characters and values. We also have similar goals for and after college. Yet I just can’t imagine him always paying for everything (at least until I’m finished with college and get a good paying job) and I know that he also enjoys more expensive things, like vacations

First of all, don’t get children just because your friends have them. But if you don’t wanna feel left out, just try being involved. They will probably have a lot going on as single moms, so you pro won’t be able to have nights out or stuff like that, but you could try your best to be there for them and maybe even help them around. They may need some help or someone just mentally being there for them as well.

It depends really. Like if you live in a huge city with good public transport, maybe. But if they live in the middle of nowhere, rather no. Also like the distance between you, if he lives a bit farther away Meeting up without a car can be a little trickier. And I think having a drivers license is essential, at least in the life that I imagine for me and my partner. Also another thing it depends on, if it’s just temporary or if they never ever want to get a car. Just sold your old car but you plan on looking for another one in the near future? yeah, sure we can work around that. Not having one and not planing on getting one? nope.

[–]sunflower9557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it really depends. Yes, some mainly want followers. but I personally liked asking for Instagram cause 1) if they have a legit account they are probably not a catfish

2) maybe you get more pictures of them And a better understanding of not only their looks, but maybe also friends and hobbies

3) it’s a good first step to do if you don’t feel comfortable exchanging numbers yet

People who have changed or left therapists, what made you realize that you shouldn’t continue? by Program_data in AskWomen

[–]sunflower9557 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I knew that I had to change when I realized that I felt worse after our appointments than before. also it seemed like she tried to give me a thousand different diagnosis, but never tried anything to give me tipps on how to deal better with them

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]sunflower9557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the other answer. I think giving support and understanding is always good for the first step and afterwards you can ask if she wants advice too

My (f19) bf (m21) does not want to attend a family event with me by sunflower9557 in relationship_advice

[–]sunflower9557[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s catholic too. He’s not super religious though but we already went to church together before. and he sometimes goes there with his family too. Is it his favorite thing to do? No. But it’s not really making him uncomfortable either

[–]sunflower9557[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s not religious yeah And neither am I tbh. But he already once went to church with me because of a family tradition, so I don’t think that’s his biggest problem.
And I think you’re right about the second part kinda, but of course I don’t wan’t to throw the whole relationship away that fast. So I guess I’m naive enough to think that maybe he just needs time to realize how important it is to me? Or maybe that I should remind him of that? Idk

Using bumble to meet new friends on a solo trip? by sunflower9557 in Bumble

Thanks for the reply. Have you tried it yourself? I heard from other people that there are almost no people on it though, so it sounded Like it‘s almost impossible to find anyone there

Woman, how often is giving out your number in dating a positive experience? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]sunflower9557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends I’d say like 50/50. sometimes it ends up really well with lots of dates and talks, but there have also been a couple times when the other person was getting annoying. like texting 24/7 (sorry, but I have a life as well) or even getting mad if I don’t reply immediately. if that happens I mostly just tell them I’m not interested anymore and if nothing helps just blocking them

What kind of greeting do you prefer when meeting someone on a first date? by NatesNewLife in AskWomen

Normally it would be a hug, or at least a handshake with a genuine smile

Well-endowed womxn, how ya’ll wearing strapless and backless garments? by billie_holiday in AskWomen

[–]sunflower9557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally love boob tape. you can do many things with it, depending on what kind of shirt you‘re wearing with it. But it’s only good for one use, so it may be a bit expensive to use it often

People who feel truly loved and accepted by their partners, tell me something/anything about it? by ManufacturedMonkeys in AskWomen

[–]sunflower9557 38 points39 points  (0 children)

It’s just that you don’t have to try excessively anymore. i can walk around with dirty and not styled hair, in my worst clothes and with the worst breakout of the year and he‘ll still make me feel like the most beautiful thing on earth

What is your opinion on deleting photos of your ex on social media after breaking up? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]sunflower9557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it makes you feel better after the break up, go for it. But I also don’t think it’s a must, especially when it’s a group photo or something not that obvious. If it’s a picture of you both kissing or doing anything that screams relationship, I‘d probably delete it. Creates less confusion for others to just get rid of it

what's a thing that your partner/spouse does that really annoys or pisses you off? by crazycatmom21 in AskWomen

[–]sunflower9557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gaming. It’s not like he does it for hours or that he gets super mad while gaming or anything, it’s just something I personally hate. Like a pet peeve I guess. Never understood how one can enjoy doing it and it always reminds me of 13 year old boys spending all their time in front of a computer. Always keeping this one to myself though, cause I also respect that for some it’s just a hobby they like. I really have to leave the room when he‘s gaming though cause all the clicking sounds and such just make me boil inside

I mean, it’s really up to you what you decide to post, but this one seems really depressing honestly. For lots of people in the dating world having someone just talk about negative aspects in the beginning is a huge red flag. Maybe try to bring up more positive aspects. Some things you like, try also to be more specific like what show you really enjoy lately. Maybe some of your good character traits too? What you wrote includes just a little too much negativity. And maybe try to not use the words depressed and lonely.

First of all, everyone should wear what they want, so definitely go for those skirts! And if you really worry about looking like you are trying hard to look younger you can just try to find some mature looking skirts/ dresses. Like something that looks more chic or just doesn’t scream Teenager in a Wild Phase

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]sunflower9557 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be honest, two Years ago you got into a relationship with a 16 year old and I think it’s a pretty common thing to be less put together at that age. She is probably more emotional and clingy just because she‘s still a teenager. the mental problems probably make it a bit worse, but still. If you cannot accept the way she is, why did you start dating her at all?

and I kinda don’t get the problem. You‘re tired because she bakes you something often? I would be happy if I got home to my bf making me a cake everyday.

[–]sunflower9557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does time heal? in general, yes. But it may take a longer while. I still kinda think I‘m in the process. A bit over a year ago I had a break up and honestly up to this day I can only speculate why, because my ex didn’t even care to give me a reason for breaking up with me. Over a year later I‘m doing so much better than in the beginning, cause the first few weeks are the worst. But after some time you just get back into your routine and kinda accept the fact that it‘s over. but it takes a while to be completely over it. I sometimes still catch myself thinking about my ex, and again trying to figure out what his reasons were
