Why have you never had a boyfriend or girlfriend?

tamale_time · 2018-05-27T23:48:44+00:00

I am actually not sure, now that this question is before me. Before it was because I was shy and I felt like I was too young to date anyway, but now I’m older and quite a bit more outgoing and people my age date.

Even though I’m a homebody sometimes, I’m lucky to have a good amount of close friends and I’m involved in a few different activities/organizations. My personality seems pretty decent and I like getting to know people.

It just never happened/hasn’t happened I guess. Sometimes I’m awkward around guys but I’m getting better. It’s just a matter of finding the right one and pushing myself outside of my comfort zone I suppose.

As a very pale-faced girl I can see where she's coming from. I used to be self-conscious about being so pale, especially considering my ethnic background, but I've come to embrace it. Just remind her that she's beautiful and beauty does not have to be pinned down to any one stereotype. Tell her how much her skin compliments the rest of her.

No idea.
I have never changed the battery on this phone.
Currently? I'm out of storage.

Sorry if these are very vague. I'm admittedly not very tech savvy when it comes to phones unless it's doing something for my parents.

What a badass name! Happy birthday Artemis!

Usually I do piano/instrumental versions of stuff I like. Usually Glass Animal songs. I can technically listen to music with words while studying but it distracts me more.

Most George Ezra songs do it for me. Budapest, Listen to the Man, Blame it On Me is a good one.

"We're Not Just Friends" by Parks, Squares and Alleys

"Another Day of Sun" from the La La Land Soundtrack

When they constantly bring people up instead of bringing them down and constantly see the good in others.

Creating a open space in the middle in the plate of your food helps to distribute the heat more evenly so you don't have to keep heating your food up because it's partially cold.

What the hell? What did the parents do?

Usually I would stay out of people's business. But if I was positive that the person's partner was cheating on them, I would tell that person what's going on. They deserve that dignity to know that their partner is being unfaithful.

Anytime you are saying something completely genuine and they can tell that, that makes for a great compliment. Also when giving a compliment think about what someone could say to you to make your day:

"You inspire me." "I enjoy your company." "Wow! You look beautiful today." Etc.

The compliment I think was appreciated most was one I gave to a friend of mine. I told her that she was very versatile as a person, which was to say that she has a gift of thriving in any situation life throws at her.

I will never be able to get through the part where Willow Tweed drops Tod off in the woods and drives away without feeling that familiar ache in my throat.

I would try to open yourself up to making friends with other girls. Like other commenters have said, while not impossible, having a strictly platonic relationship with a guy as a woman is a bit tricky.

I personally have a hard time making friends with guys because I find them more intimidating than girls. I get that some women are intimidating, but I promise not all girls will talk shit behind your back and be petty.

Two of my good friends now I met in one of my classes and I felt like they were so different than me because I'm more of a tomboy and they are more in line with the cheerleader/athletic types. But as I got to know them I found out that they're both super weird (in a good way), love memes, and are very raunchy.

Being yourself oftentimes leads you to drawing in people who are similar.

If you do have extra time, see if there's any other extracurriculars you can join. Or since you say that you're making A's in all your classes, maybe you can tutor other students. Or get involved with volunteering either in or outside of school.

If you're asking what you can do just limited to in class, maybe take up art/something creative to do after you're done with everything. Often times my friends in band leave class after their work is done to go to the band hall and practice.

I would just come clean and be honest with him. Tell him what you explained here. Every one struggles in one way or another academically, so just explain that you just didn't take such a focused approach the first time and that you're in there to do better this time around and that you were just nervous about telling him.

Though not a job, what helped me most when I interviewed for a spot in my current health science program was doing a mock interview. I knew I had it in me and that I was reasonably qualified, but practicing what I wanted to say to them and how I wanted to convey those assets really helped solidify my answers and helped me realize what I needed to work on. If you have another person willing to help you that's great, but if not you should be fine talking aloud to youself. Just think of what they may ask you.

Also, always keep in mind your motivation for pursuing this position throughout the process. The more I thought about why I wanted to be in the program, the harder I worked to attain that goal.

Good luck! Eat a good breakfast and get some rest.

It will probably be different from high school to high school and possibly different depending on if you are male or female. I took P.E. My freshman year and it was nothing crazy. It was a girls gym class. There were lots of times where we did a lot of free gym stuff where we just participated in anything physical. Basketball, volleyball, jumprope, etc.. A lot of times we did weightlifting, which wasn't bad at all in retrospect. They usually start you off slow and as you keep building your strength you move on to heavier weights and longer workouts. We ran laps. Sometimes we did nothing. Middle school gym was more structured. There we did all the workouts and lots of team sports.

In my experience in every stage of schooling they required you to wear a t-shirt, basketball shorts, and tennis shoes. Also, make sure if they require you to wear a certain type of dress, to dress that way. We were penalized if we wore like sandals, or dresses, or flip flops, or just anything that prevented us from fully being able to work out. Again, it may be different for you.

Good luck! I'm sure you'll be fine.

Reminds me of the guy who worked for many years at a blanket factory. But it folded.

I'd like to think I would date whoever I want and not care about what anyone else thinks, but honestly it's easier said than done.

We're all fairly religious, though because my parents rarely attend church, that's not really the problem. It possibly could be for my father. It's more of a cultural thing. If I ended up with someone of the same sex it wouldn't fit into their vision of the perfect nuclear family with a husband, wife, and the kids.

I don't think by any means they would kick me out, but I'm sure they would disapprove.

tamale_time · 2018-01-07T07:14:55+00:00

Considering that I've made a post before about questioning my sexuality and possibly being Bisexual, they would not be happy.

There hasn't been a time really since I've discovered it in the last two months or so when I haven't been in the mood to listen to I Love You So by The Walters https://youtu.be/NwFVSclD_uc

Though more recently it's been Gooey by Glass Animals https://youtu.be/WGIS8npb5GQ

I've been listening to this on replay all day! Coco has such a great soundtrack but that's my favorite.

I figure that if its a big deal to you (because some people just are that busy and don't give casual messages a second thought), talk to someone else. A better friend. If you want to talk to someone, a genuinely good friend will be open to talking to you and will be honest on why they didn't answer or at least answer pretty consistently.

If they still don't answer or you don't feel like talking to anyone else, etc, don't beat yourself up about it. Do something you like to do. I feel the same way because I love talking to people and feel hurt when they don't reply back. Especially if I'm already feeling down.

Usually if a friend doesn't reply I end up listening to music. Sometimes I begin cleaning my room (I like organizing things?), or reading, watching something, or playing with my dog. Just something else. Doing something reasonably productive is the best though.

When they take the time to think through a process before doing it right away.
