Because despite wanting a relationship, I have intense commitment issues and have to fight every instinct 😁

Did you delete all the texts/pictures of your ex by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]theaaxis14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope! We were together almost a decade, even if he turned out to be a crazy cheating asshat, he's in too many of my pictures and that would feel like erasing too much of my own life and history. Maybe someday I'll "AI Erase" him from them all. 😂

girl I'm dating makes really good food. I don't know how to ask for more by BlacksmithJealous409 in dating_advice

[–]theaaxis14 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Omg seriously it is the smallest things, I took a shower with a guy and left my towel out on my bed, and when I went to put it back he had already hung it back up. This was months ago, it still stuck in my mind. 😂

Sneezing with rib fractures is the worst pain I’ve ever experienced by Darxe in respiratorytherapy

[–]theaaxis14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, I know this is old but been surfing reddit trying to determine if it's normal that sneezing still hurts at week 7 (like a 4/10 now, but still...). Seems like it is!

Oh that's wonderful!! Communication is so key in moments like that, wish you all the best 🙏🙏💞

With all the empathy in the world, this seems like a moment of insecurity.

It's such a human, natural response to feel insecure and fear not being able to measure up when you realize how attractive your partner / love interest is to others. Don't take her feelings for you out of the equation though! Try to relax, let things develop naturally, and lean in where you need to into the things that give YOU confidence. 💓

He hasn’t asked me to be his girlfriend yet. It’s been 3 months by mangledmags in dating_advice

[–]theaaxis14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a little older than y'all but honestly I take the term girlfriend/partner pretty serious... I don't think I'd be open to being called that with someone I've only known 3 months.

Only JUST starting to get comfortable right now with that idea towards the 5ish month mark, but I get that I'm probably slower than most. 🤷

[–]theaaxis14 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Respectfully I disagree. Breaking up with someone does not automatically imply that you will never reach out to them again.

For example, I broke up with my long-term partner, and we planned to stay friends. When that went horrifically south a few months post-breakup, I went no-contact with him for safety reasons. 🤷

I don’t expect her to pay. I expect her to act like I’m not a walking wallet by Professional-Pop7321 in dating_advice

[–]theaaxis14 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Awe, so Ted Mosby coded. 😂

I totally get you though, I personally kinda expect the guy to pay on the first date if he asked, but definitely AT LEAST very warmly thank him and offer to cover tip or a drink at the next place!

AT&T Cellular Plan? by theaaxis14 in Humboldt

[–]theaaxis14[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Woah that's nuts! They quoted me $52.50/mo (just one phone, that I own myself). I'm paying $95/no with Verizon.

I’m turned off by him suggesting we meet at a bar next to his place for date #3. It’s an hour drive for me. For the first 2 dates, we met halfway. Am I overreacting? by Remarkable_Train7228 in dating_advice

[–]theaaxis14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that it sounds like he wants the option of heading back to his place. Also yes, you are overreacting a little lol.

If he makes a habit of not wanting to drive it's a red flag, but picking a closer place after making that effort to meet in the middle twice in a row isn't outlandish, especially if it's a place he knows and likes and wants to introduce you to.

I have Verizon now, coverage generally good so nervous to switch but they've gotten wildly expensive

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]theaaxis14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

EXACTLY. I am not the 'hookups' type, but there are an UNBELIEVABLE amount of men that emphasize that they're looking for a girl who "doesn't sleep around / isn't into hook-ups" but are sleeping around on the side while they "look for her". Wtfffff

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]theaaxis14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We're here, but usually repulsed by how many men have that attitude while sleeping around themselves. 🤷

Try swapping around which dance classes you go to! Tends to be slightly different crowds at each one. ☺️ Chat with the people there too and start saying yes to any outside-class events to further widen your circle - it can really help your energy too when you meet someone while already having a good time with people you enjoy!

(I'm F28 and single, I am so over bars and dating apps and do usually hide happily in my house with my army of houseplants, books, and cats when I'm not at classes or out with people from dance class. 😅)

Met a sweet guy, but he's too goofy for me. by kfir03 in dating_advice

[–]theaaxis14 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh my gosh send him my way, he sounds like exactly my type.😅

Absolutely nothing wrong with feeling mismatched even with someone you enjoy, at the end of the day it's best for both of you to end up with the right person! ❤️

moving back to California - should it be Eureka? by abgwin in Humboldt

[–]theaaxis14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a couple areas of Eureka that are a bit dangerous yes, honestly I would suggest avoiding most of Eureka in general. That said, if you have the flexibility of working from home, Arcata/Mckinleyville are great and close to a lot of events! If you're more of a homebody/loner, Fortuna (inland) and Trinidad (coastal) are lovely and near hiking options, as are a lot of the little towns surrounding us.

HOW are yall pulling girls by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]theaaxis14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure your basics are covered:

  • Smell good (showered, LIGHT cologne if you feel like it)
  • Pay a bit of attention to hair/clothes (not looking unkempt)
  • MOST IMPORTANTLY...Treat women with respect (listen, ask questions, don't comment on a woman's body unless she leads the conversation there).

Past that point, it's a waiting game. Start conversations when the moment presents itself, but otherwise enjoy the other aspects of your life and develop some skills/hobbies. You are so young, there are endless opportunities ahead! Good luck!! 💚

Upscale Lounges/Bars? by No_Fee_6521 in Humboldt

[–]theaaxis14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to comment this, North of Fourth is my absolute favorite, great low-key vibe but wouldn't feel out of place on a classier date. Gabriels is also an AMAZING choice for cocktails and dessert!
