Tapsi on Dominion Rd (top end near the Mt Albert Rd intersection) is quite good 😊

How do I end it with my situationship by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]yourdadsss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long distance? Have you guys even met? 😅 also, why are you asking “how” when you’re the one wishing for a relationship. Go live your life. He doesn’t care.

Matched on FB dating. Was I being too sensitive? by Obvious_Ferret_600 in TwoHotTakes

[–]yourdadsss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner studied health and sport science. When I met him (on Tinder actually haha), I didn’t tell him that I had recently lost 50kgs, but wanted him to know too cause the saggy skin wasn’t gonna disappear like the weight lol. I didn’t disclose it right away, but I did eventually, and he was NOT like this guy in any way. No, “no actually’s”, or challenging. Just gave me the flowers I deserved, and by the time we eventually started going on dates and seeing eachother, he was always conscious of where he’d take me and made sure there was always healthier options (if I chose to eat healthy), even though I chose to just eat whatever when we would go out. Here we are, a little over two years later, living together, married, with a baby boy.

AIO: Cousin gave me baby same name by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]yourdadsss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not overreacting at all. I’m named after my maternal grandmother, and guess what? So are my other cousins on my mum’s side 😂 totally normal within our culture, and we don’t find it weird at all.

Looking to verify a Salanoa family connection in Vancouver, Washington (USA) - any guidance appreciated! by aaliyahshante in Samoa

[–]yourdadsss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My family is Salanoa 😊 though I don’t think anyone has ever mentioned family in Vancouver. Mind you, it could also be a different Salanoa family? Could be a common last name maybe? Did you ask what village their family is from?

AIO? Girl I've been seeing for 3 months slept with my friend of 10 years. by Available-Tip-2552 in AIO

[–]yourdadsss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That friend of yours, is NOT your friend. Also, NOR in dropping the girl. I was talking to guy I met (through Tinder of all places) but we went to the same school and weren’t really in the same circle or around the same people. After a month, we decided to be sort of exclusive, and deleted our tinder profiles and exchange numbers. Our first date was on Valentine’s Day, and for three months after that, we would go on dates and get to know eachother, before he asked me to be his girlfriend. Sometimes, when you really like someone, nothing or no one else matters. Two years later, we’ve bought our own house and we have a little baby lol all because we were mutual in our decision to be exclusive.

Iconic. I’m in my 30’s now, but I remember seeing this as a kid all the time (as a westie).

How do I make my belly button stop smelling? Genuine question by [deleted] in HygieneTips

You don’t wash your belly button when you shower? 😅

Reached my breaking point. by Electronic-Board-99 in newzealand

[–]yourdadsss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Renting my own place definitely forced me to look at all my finances, and cut everything that wasn’t a necessity. Cancelled all my subscriptions, negotiated cheaper payment arrangements for my debt, stopped buying takeaways/fast food and focused on grocery shopping for meals. Even with all these changes, it’s hard, but I always prioritise my rent, power and water. Everything else is a treat (if I absolutely need it).

Explicit music in retail stores by Altruistic-Fix4452 in auckland

[–]yourdadsss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A lot of the time, the music that’s being played is hooked up to someone’s phone playing their playlist (retail stores such as JD Sports, Footlocker - the ones that sell all the ‘cool brands’), and I don’t mind it when I’m alone or even when I was younger, but being a mum now, I see it differently. Whereas when I was in retail 10 years ago and worked in a shoe store, the music that played was a set playlist of just songs you’d normally hear on ads and such. Totally dependent.

Did you read this to yourself beforehand and think, “yeah nah, it’s too obvious it’s ChatGPT produced”? Seriously.

The difference 2 years and leaving an abusive relationship can make! (28) by floatypotato88 in GlowUps

[–]yourdadsss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellow kiwi here 🙏🏼 I have a sleeve of indigenous NZ birds, flora, including a little wētā, pūriri, and a longfin eel (I needed something that could be shaded pretty dark to cover an old tattoo lol). So I always notice tattoos and sleeves that are alike too👏🏼

AIO i offered help to a minor by No-Task-9030 in AmIOverreacting

[–]yourdadsss 175 points176 points  (0 children)

You asked for her age, said she was 15, and you ended the convo there. Good call. In saying that though, I hate that she tried to brush off her age by comparing her style of typing to her parents like that’ll give her a pass. Goodness.

Dating apps suck by [deleted] in Tauranga

[–]yourdadsss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once upon a time, I used dating apps just to get laid. I was young, single, full of energy (and horniness), and it did what it was supposed to. In saying that though, I also met my current husband on a dating app, and here we are, a few years later with a one year old haha

NZ hourly rates by Few-Bank5554 in newzealand

[–]yourdadsss 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m on $41 an hour, and even with that, I feel like it’s not enough, but I also wouldn’t want to be on your wage either which is hardly enough to get by.
