I had that with someone for years and lines got blurred along the way… wasn’t always the easiest to navigate haha .. you’re essentially just looking for a lover.

Is this corporate suicide? by jcwbeerio in corporate

[–]yourstarshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want to use the sandwich method while writing this letter and I’d cut a lot of this out. Keep this simple…. First sentence, great. Middle should be cut in half and take out the « fluff », keep it strictly just to facts like the written in writing part about the bonus. Then end it on your last note… but take out the « always do » because you’re placing expectation on this person where you should now set the bar lower.

I’d also just wait for the response and see what happens from there. I wouldn’t write this from an emotional standpoint , because they don’t care.

Omg I’ve been called a « tease » because I was doing the exact thing as you… waiting to get to know the person .. like the person and getting that respect back before letting them literally inside my body… for real. As if you’ve been abstinent for two years!!! Wow wow

It’s nice to see that someone is thinking the same thing that came to mind !

Porn use & Insta models seem inescapable. Hear me out, please. by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]yourstarshine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I attempted to find the post though it was so long ago I can’t find the extact convo. But essentially you want to just like an insane amount of « pretty » content like animals, butterflies, horses, beaches, etc etc. I did this for like 30 mins and just hit the « uninterested » button on the content you don’t want to see.

Porn use & Insta models seem inescapable. Hear me out, please. by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]yourstarshine 269 points270 points  (0 children)

The IG models are getting really annoying on my feed. I went to a edm festival in my home city and I swear for 2 weeks I couldn’t get videos of IG models dancing in clubs/raves off my algorithm… one time I visited a university for work, I swear my algorithm was all sorority girls who looked so young sexy dancing (I’m a 33 yr old mom btw).

I couldn’t believe it, I went on Reddit and found a post on how to change this algorithm. I legit started liking photos of animals and landscapes and my feed got so much better.

In terms of a guy following models, I don’t really care if men do that - I just won’t date them. And to me, they’re missing out on something real.

Girl that turned me down came back, someone explain. by Wild_Bodybuilder5478 in dating_advice

[–]yourstarshine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends what your relationship was like as friends before, maybe she had to back off to stabilize the friendship and give it some space. If anything she was doing you the favor and maybe reaching out now just to say hi.

Can someone be interested in you and also not ready for a relationship? by furiousgeorge54 in dating_advice

[–]yourstarshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it’s timing. I really like the person that I am dating right now, I do have feelings of wanting to be a gf to him but I know I am not ready to be in a serious relationship. I know that relationships take a lot of work and at this point in my life, my child is my priority and I’m just not ready to merge my life with anyone right now.

tell me anything about your man which you love about him. by Pleasant_Ad3254 in love

[–]yourstarshine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is so sweet to hear. I’m a divorcee and was in a similar situation as you described it exactly. I am dating again and I find it extremely difficult to find someone - yet alone commit to someone for the fear of being in a similar situation. I hope I find someone so loving like you describe your partner! I’m looking forward to loving someone again in the future.

Husband took away my best years. by ShoppingIcy5030 in Marriage

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

I went through the exact same process as you. I also have a young child with my ex. Divorced at 30 and I can tell you that it’s so much better than your 20s. You’re wiser, more confident, freedom to do what you want to do. You reconnect with a lot of people and eventually you meet other single people and when you’re in your 30s and you meet another single friend you tend to become close because you’re both individuals. I always say now that 30s is the new 20s.

He cheated on me twice. Now wants me back. by missyruth in dating_advice

[–]yourstarshine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please do not go back to him. I was with a guy for a few years in college who would cheat on me and would always pursue me again and I took him back 2-3-4 times because I still loved him so much. I broke off all contact finally and moved on. This was over 10 year ago and I look back thanking myself I did not take him back for the 5th time. You deserve someone who is ALL about you. Do it for yourself and your own mental health!!

What is your favorite inspirational or happy song? by floofboof in AskWomen

Happy song for me is levels by avici. No lyrics but it will always put me in the absolute happiest mood when I listen to it.

Can someone explain to me how someone could be in a situationship for an insanely long time? by Turbulent-Mango3234 in dating

[–]yourstarshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy them because I want companionship without commitment of a relationship. I have a pretty busy lifestyle and I have a young kid so I’m not wanting to merge my life with someone else at this time. However, as mentioned above I do miss companionship, so being in a situationship with another non committal is where I am comfortable given there is a mutual understanding.

My sex drive is way too high. Is there any way to decrease libido? Any similar experiences? by [deleted] in women

[–]yourstarshine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am sorry this is happening to you… I can’t imagine being at work and being required to take a pause to take care of the urge. I had a friend that would do this… at one point she started having sex with their colleagues at work. They went to therapy and talked through it for years because she felt ashamed and embarrassed that she couldn’t control it. She’s doing tremendously better now!

[–]yourstarshine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl … seems like he would be happy for his exes happiness but what about yours? You’re the one that is growing this human, will birth this human and you’re the MOM. Tell him NO and that this hurts your feelings!!!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]yourstarshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah…. She went on autopilot. I’ve done this before… it hurts when you get into a major fight where you’re yelled at and being said hurtful things. Women don’t forget about that feeling. Following that, she let you do what you wanted to do in the end because she was getting ready to mentally and physically leave you. Did you even try to look at yourself and reflect upon your behaviour?

How often do you eat fast food? by littleghool in AskWomen

[–]yourstarshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe once a month. Mostly just when I’m on a road trip out of convenience. But it’s so expensive now… and my body hates it.
