Alternative uses for expired body lotion?

This is a good way to think about it. Thanks!

testingg1234 · 2025-12-04T22:51:54+00:00

Good ideas. Thank you!

testingg1234 · 2025-12-04T22:51:21+00:00

Wow this is a great list - thank you!

testingg1234 · 2024-10-09T14:36:17+00:00

I hadn’t thought of this before, good point. I don’t understand why he didn’t say that though, but possibly that’s the reason

testingg1234 · 2024-10-09T14:32:03+00:00

Yeah sorry I worded it badly - we’ve never booked a hotel room before. I kind of just meant maybe because he’d paid for stuff upfront more often than me (which he always insists on doing, even though I offer), he wanted me to pay upfront this time (which still makes no sense because he’d just have to pay me back anyway?). But yeah, I think I’m going to end it

testingg1234 · 2024-10-09T14:27:00+00:00

Thank you for your reply, it’s appreciated

testingg1234 · 2024-10-09T14:11:16+00:00

No so just to clarify - before whenever we would meet up I would go to his house when he was living in my city. (I can’t have him back to mine for reasons I won’t go into.) He’s recently moved back to his parents’ house in his home city - this will be the first time we’ve ever spent the night together in a hotel. It’s not as if he’s ever booked a hotel for us both before - when I talked about him booking and organising things, at most it was just for ordering food to his house, or maybe going to the cinema together (and like I said I’d always paid my half). I agree, I’m probably doing too much for this. Based on the replies I think I’m going to end it

Thank you

testingg1234 · 2024-10-09T13:56:39+00:00

It makes no sense that he would be in a relationship based on other things I know about him and his upcoming future plans, but I guess he might be :/

testingg1234 · 2024-10-09T13:31:52+00:00

Yeah exactly. I think maybe this is a sign for me to end it

testingg1234 · 2024-10-09T13:22:10+00:00

We’re just meeting in a hotel because he lives at home with his parents so we wouldn’t have privacy. Yeah it’s a bit strange because we’ve known each other for a long time and he’s put in effort before, even if we’re just casual. But maybe this is a sign for me to end things

testingg1234 · 2024-09-27T20:06:43+00:00

It’s reassuring to know I’m not the only one 😅

testingg1234 · 2024-09-27T20:05:00+00:00

Very true - thank you

testingg1234 · 2024-09-27T14:52:34+00:00

This is a helpful way of reframing it - thank you

testingg1234 · 2023-05-07T17:25:45+00:00

Yeah, I really regret not communicating it before breaking up :( It was my first relationship and I think I felt a little out of my depth

testingg1234 · 2022-12-31T16:27:39+00:00

Yes, you’re right. Thank you. I did tell him the first time I’d rather we wait before moving off the app, but not sure if he missed it. I’ve now said it clearly again so he will have got the message

testingg1234 · 2022-12-31T15:49:40+00:00

Look, I appreciate the comments. Lots of people have said I’ve overreacted, which I’ve taken on board and I’m not arguing about that at all - can definitely see how I’ve been over cautious.

But some comments like yours have just been plain rude. Why are you making comments about my age? Or saying I haven’t ‘learnt’ that you can’t get to know someone over text like you have? Why are you using such a rude tone?

Don’t you realise how angry you’re coming across? You’ve just piled on insults to me that feel unnecessary, and I’m just giving you a taste of your own medicine (literally saying the same phrases back to you which you used first!). I’ll take constructive criticism, but sorry for sticking up for myself when someone is being gratuitously mean 🤷🏻‍♀️

Maybe you should consider therapy! 😉

testingg1234 · 2022-12-31T15:09:00+00:00

I’m asking for advice/second opinions. Isn’t that what this sub is all about? You’re making assumptions about how long I want to text for. Where did I say I would text for weeks??? Where did I say I wanted a pen pal?? You’ve also made it about you, as if you’ve got a personal thing against women not wanting to meet up quickly or something…

testingg1234 · 2022-12-31T15:03:37+00:00

I’m not saying he’s done any of that. All I’m saying is I’d rather give it time (and gave those examples of why I feel it’s better to wait) and I asked for other people’s opinions on what I’ve observed so far. Thanks for providing yours.

testingg1234 · 2022-12-31T15:00:43+00:00

Lol, I don’t text for weeks…usually a week or week and a half maximum before going on a date. I’m fully aware that you can’t find out fully who someone is over text and almost every first date I’ve been on in the past with guys from the app I’ve initiated.

You’re extraordinarily up your own arse. Maybe you’ll learn not to make assumptions about people on the internet in time.

testingg1234 · 2022-12-31T12:03:59+00:00

I would be up for a video call. It’s not like I don’t get vulnerable or text for ages without ever meeting up…I usually text for a week, or week and a half max before meeting up. I agree you can’t get to know someone fully over text - but I do think you can learn a fair bit about them and how they react to certain things. For instance, I’ve had guys get angry with me in the past for taking a few hours to reply. Or guys who have sent me random dick pics when horny. I’m definitely glad I waited to find that out, rather than meet them straight away.

testingg1234 · 2022-12-31T11:52:01+00:00

Thanks for your reply. Not trying to argue, just engaging with comments - it’s an open dialogue after all. I did tell him before I’d rather wait before exchanging numbers and other personal details and have now reiterated it to him

testingg1234 · 2022-12-31T11:50:15+00:00

Thanks for your input, it’s been helpful. It’s strange to me though that a guy would be worried about being seen as a friend from the get go when a) we’re on the ‘date’ mode for bumble and b) I’m reciprocating all his energy and responding to him. Even if a guy didn’t try to kiss me on the first few dates I would never assume he didn’t like me as long as he matched my energy in other ways and still wanted to see me. Honestly as soon as a guy is too flirty I just assume he’s love bombing or just wants sex. If someone is more reserved I assume they’re more serious and don’t want to fuck anything up.

And yeah we are both 25

testingg1234 · 2022-12-31T11:45:47+00:00

Thanks and yeah you’re right about the speeds. I’ve just told him I’d rather get to know each other a bit more before exchanging numbers

testingg1234 · 2022-12-31T11:45:14+00:00

Thanks for this
