I’m constantly being told I get in my head too much by guys and I don’t know how to stop, I’m not sure if it’s my insecurities or maybe I just need therapy. I’ll admit humbly I get told I’m attractive quite often but people don’t understand that means nothing if you don’t feel that way.
Anyway I hooked up with a guy recently and we both expressed how we enjoyed it. A few days after I kinda found myself not liking the way he responds to messages and making excuses about linking up again, I assumed he wasn’t interested. He told me that wasn’t it he’s a single dad and he very cautious and discreet when it comes to his dating life.
Basically do you guys have any advice or tips on how to not overthink or get in my head about situations with guys? I’m thinking I should stop dating for a while, I don’t want to come off as the one ppl associate as unstable or crazy.

TIA for any help you can give. My build: Aurora R16 desktop, i7-14700KF, RTX 4080, 240mm liquid cooling pump. I'm in the UK so my temps are in celsius.
Alienware command center shows CPU temps of around 35-50C idle and 70-90C under gaming load. Case temps are around the same. On tracking CPU temps with HWINFO under gaming load they're shown to go up to 100C, with all of the P cores undergoing thermal throttling. This happens frequently under gaming load, with all P cores affected (0-7). AWCC rarely seems to change fan speed in response to increasing temps and they stay around 22-23% most of the time under load. Quiet mode is the worst for thermal throttling and performance mode is the 'least bad'. I have set a custom fan curve which results in fans running 50-60% and no thermal throttling occurs when benchmarking - bingo! Problem is it's super loud, much louder than my previous liquid cooled PC. The PC also gives off an extreme amount of heat, which my SO even commented on from another room in the house. Cinebench 2024 CPU scores were 1300 (multicore) and 113 (single core), which I understand are lower than expected.
After hours on live chat with dell support I seem to have done every test under the sun and it's still experiencing thermal throttling. All drivers are up to date and reinstalled. Bios has been reinitialised. No hardware issues detectable on any bios, supportassist or dell website tests.
TL;DR - my understanding is that temps are staying under 100C due to thermal throttling, so they are within acceptable limits. BUT thermal throttling should not be frequently occurring under gaming load, so this implies a problem with the cooling system. Am I right, and how do I fix this?

I (24F) have been in a relationship with my (25M) since I was 16. I apologize for how all over the place this is. I just need help.
We’ve grown up together. I love this man with all my heart. I feel as if he’s my person, but he doesn’t feel the same. He tells me he loves me, but his actions haven’t always said the same.
To set the stage, it was like any other high school relationship. You believe you’re gonna end up married and pregnant a year after you graduate. It’s not the case. Honestly the red flag should have been when he laughed in my face when I told him I loved him for the first time. We were 3 months into dating and spending every day together. We got a place together on my 20th birthday. Everything was perfect in my eyes. We were own our own, sex life was up, and it was all ours. No rules or parents. It wasn’t until 8ish months later I discovered he was sexting my friend. I did the worse thing possible and cheated too. Everything went to shit. He moved out, we fought, all that. Well, we ended up back together after a few months apart. He moved back in and everything was fine. Here I am 2 years later after all this happened and I’m doubting if coming back was a good decision. My whole family hates him. My friends hate him. Every single person I know that has met him, hates him. He doesn’t put in the effort to be around the people important to me. He never attends a single family event of mine. Absolutely nothing. Not even my birthday party. We no longer live in the house that’s in my name. Everything is his. We had a conversation a couple weeks ago about how we have to live our lives for us and I broke down crying because it sounded like he didn’t want me in his. He told me I was overreacting and he’d buy a ring in two years time. He refuses to get married. He refuses to have kids before he’s in his 30s. I try to make him see my point but he fails to see why it bothers me so much. I’ve always wanted a happy family. We both make decent money. There’s no reason why we couldn’t support a child. I’m afraid his fear of commitment is because he’s still sleeping with someone behind my back, but I have no proof. It’s eating me alive. I can’t get his phone to check messages or when I do there’s only two conversations left. It makes me feel like he’s deleting the truth so I don’t see. I attend everything of his family’s. I treat his sister like my own. I feel trapped down. Everything is his and I will have nothing but my car and clothes. My mom said I can move in with her, but after being on your own, how do you go back to that? Am I overreacting? I’m not asking to get married tomorrow, but we’ve been together so long that boyfriend and girlfriend sounds fucking stupid to my ears. I wanted a future with him, but what happens if we do have a kid? Will he allow the kid to see my family or is he going to fight me? What do I do?
It’s not like we’re fighting either. I just want more. I feel guilty for wanting more. We still get alone. We’re still loving towards each other. He has no idea what’s going through my head since that conversation. I’m lost.

I’m 29m and had a female friend for about 3 years (f28), we actually met on a dating app and had a little fling only lasting 1-2 weeks then both decided to be friends. We just use to message each other maybe a few times a month for about a year.
We then got talking again after bumping into each other in a bar, we became quite close friends, went out a lot (always platonic) had a lot in common, it was a friendship and nothing else, I’d how her dating was going, and she’d ask me the same etc.
She told me she actually got a boyfriend and had been dating about a year, which I was absolutely fine with and was happy for her, as we’d already established we were just friends. So stayed friends. (I was single these whole 3 years)
Anyway recently I got a new girlfriend and I was out with her, and ran into my female friend on the street, we just said hi and didn’t stop and talk, as me and my girlfriend were holding hands.
Anyway since that encounter I’ve been basicly ghosted by this female friend, she hasn’t responded to any of my messages. I almost get the impression she just kept me around just in case it didn’t work with her boyfriend, and had me as a backup. And now I have a new girlfriend she’s basically completely blanked me.

I feel like the producers/cast, whoever you want to blame, was so focused on getting some interaction between ariana and Sandoval this season, which is not really interesting or necessary at this point in my personal opinion, that I feel like we were robbed of exploring some other, more interesting storylines.
Here are some things I wish we got more of, instead of ariana and Tom relationship drama.

1. SAH: no one ever shut up about Tom Tom when they were trying to open. We got tons of scenes on site even tho they were not opened yet. We got insights into the drama of the delays. Where was this for the damn sandwhich shop?
   
2. Katie's post divorce glow up: what is Katie up to? Make Katie dating more of a storyline, and exploring her sexuality apparently (ideally not with little barely 20 somethings that are just being blatantly used to get her exs attention/get "one up" on him). Katie is single for the first time in a million years - let's explore that!
   
3. Scheana and Brocks marriage (and money troubles?): I am a bit of a Sheshu apologist but there are some SKELTONS in this closet. Why give them a pass to pretend like they're all good when they can barely contain their fights on camera? How does Scheana REALLY feel about brocks "first family" now that she has his child?
   
4. Maybe a controversial one but SCHWARTZ AND JO what the hell is going on there why didn't we dive further into that?
   
5. I almost forgot to even bring up James and Ally! I'm sorry but the only reason they are able to keep up this perfect image is because there is NO heat or attention on them. There are several(?) pictures that have leaked of them arguing in the background at various functions, why are we glossing over it?
   
6. Introducing The Valley cast: this is a very typical Bravo strategy when spinning off into a new show. We could've had a whole crossover episode like when they introduced summer house.
   

Anyway all this to say there was SO MUCH ELSE TO TALK ABOUT THIS SEASON and I am mad about it.

Not entirely sure if this qualifies as small claims. I’m hurt and confused about all of this but I’ll try to keep it simple.
24F fiancée broke up with me 24M and kicked me out 6 months before our wedding day. We’d been together 4 years engaged for 1. When we started wedding planning we agreed to get a small personal loan to cover our small local wedding, $5,000. At the she time was making about half my salary, and had just started a brand new job so I understood that she wouldn’t be able to offer much to help pay for it in the beginning, but she said she’d send what she could and would pay more when she got a raise. Anyway the wedding she wanted ended up a little fancier than $5,000 would cover so she convinced me to do $10,000. The personal loan is in my name only. Both of our names are on every single vendor contract that the loan paid for. Because we split within a year of our date, we were ineligible for refunds for most of our contracts. And at this moment the total amount she has paid towards the loan since getting it is $75.
After breaking up with me she told me the loan is my problem and not hers. I thought she was probably right but my boss and all my coworkers seem very confident that I could take her to court over $5,000 ($4,025) as the half that she owes to that loan.
Are they wrong, or is there anything I can do here? Would love some insight or advice. Thanks

I’m 22 and so tired of being single and having basically no experience. The most action i’ve gotten is a situationship and some kisses. I haven’t even made out with anyone. I cannot for the life of me recognize when a girl is flirting with me and i wonder sometimes how many shots i might’ve missed bc of this. At the same time no girl (except my situationship and a failed tinder date) has shown me any clear interest which makes it even harder for me to believe someone ever will like me. I keep obsessing over potential relationships which just keep me from enjoying the moment as it is.
I’ve tried dating apps but it never leads anywhere. I don’t understand how you can talk about sex with direct words nor how to flirt. I don’t understand how you know someone’s okay w kissing, making out etc, and it feels very apparent at parties when I see people making out as if out of the blue. I have social anxiety, suspect i’m demi and sometimes wonder if i’m autistic too. all of this doesn’t really help my case, yet i see people w the same “difficulties” getting into relationships either way. It feels like a big mystery or like a second language i can’t speak. I feel like i’m missing such a big part of life and i’m scared i’ll never experience it (that’s the anxiety speaking, i know). I keep trying to think that i’m young and blah blah blah but it’s doesn’t work when all the friends i have keep talking about hookups and dates and i have to sit there pretending i can relate. I’m so tired of it.

Streamlining Email Management in Event Coordination

In the fast-paced world of event management, efficiency is key. The ability to automate mundane tasks not only saves precious time but also significantly reduces the margin for error. One such task is the extraction of guest emails from Google Calendar events, a process that, when done manually, is tedious and prone to mistakes. This is where Zapier, a powerful automation tool, comes into play. By leveraging Zapier's capabilities, event organizers can streamline their workflows, ensuring that important communication channels with guests are established swiftly and accurately.
The integration of Zapier with Google Calendar opens up a plethora of possibilities for automating various aspects of email management in event coordination. This method is particularly useful for those who frequently organize events and need to manage communications efficiently. Extracting only one email from the guest list of a Google Event might seem like a small task, but it's a crucial step in personalizing communication and managing event-related logistics. Through the following development, we'll explore how to utilize Zapier to automate this process, thus enhancing productivity and allowing organizers to focus on more strategic aspects of their events.

Command/Tool	Description
Zapier Webhook	Used to catch the incoming data from Google Calendar event.
Email Parser by Zapier	Extracts email addresses from the incoming data.
Filter by Zapier	Filters and allows only specific data (in this case, one email) to pass through.

Enhancing Event Management with Email Automation

Integrating automation into event management, particularly through tools like Zapier, revolutionizes the way organizers handle participant data and communication. The primary challenge in managing events is not just the coordination of dates and venues but also the efficient handling of guest information. This includes collecting emails, sending out notifications, and updating participants on any changes. Manual handling of these tasks is not only time-consuming but also prone to errors, which can lead to miscommunication and a poor experience for attendees. Automation through Zapier addresses these challenges by streamlining the process of extracting emails from Google Calendar events. This ensures that each guest receives personalized communication promptly, enhancing the overall event management process.
By setting up a Zapier workflow to automatically extract a guest's email from calendar events, organizers can immediately trigger a sequence of actions, such as adding that email to a mailing list or sending out personalized event details. This level of automation not only saves significant amounts of time but also enhances the accuracy of the information being disseminated. Furthermore, the flexibility of Zapier allows for the integration of various other tools and platforms, enabling a seamless flow of information across different aspects of event management. From reminders to feedback surveys post-event, every step can be automated, allowing organizers to focus on more critical elements of their events, such as guest engagement and experience, rather than getting bogged down by administrative tasks.

Dating has never been a priority for me. When I was younger I had dreams about getting married and finding the love of my life. I grew up watching my freinds have crushes and get their first bf/gfs but I never felt the need to start dating anyone. As I grew up I noticed that I received unwanted attention from men, I would have stalkers from school and even people asking my freinds for my socials. I’ve never been in a relationship, I’ve been in 2 dates my entire life and those two guys ended up being toxic and obsessive. One of them didn’t handle rejection well and started to stalk me and contact my freinds because he wanted me back in his life. Ever since that I have just focused on myself and tried enjoying life as it is. Once I started university, some employe had searched up my name in the data base and found my socials. I didn’t know this until my friends mentioned it. My freinds that are single tend to complain and worry about being single and how they probably never will find a man. I just tell them to not worry about that and that there’s more to life and that a man isn’t worth your time and they would respond with me being a man hater and that life is just easy for me. It’s come to a point where I feel pressured because everyone around me tends to ask me why I want to be single and that I should talk to men and give them a chance, a old freind if mine and that I have high standards. I disagree with that because all I ever wanted was to be respected, and not lusted. Am I normal for just not wanting a relationship at the moment or having no interest in love? I want to see my parents happy, and get a degree, I want to help them buy a new house and provide for them. I feel I am not worthy of love until I accomplish these things.

I am really new to this and, while I am really open to something casual. I definitely have hope for something more, so I don’t know if I am wasting my week of premium.
So in December I opened this app for the first time and matched with three guys of which only one I kept talking after days and then months and after a couple dates we did the deed a couple times then the flame vanished and here I am again. I didn’t even bother in going back to bumble while I had this guy, my physical need was met and I was okay.
But now I started this week again and I have had like 7 matches but only speaking to three. ONE of the guys is way more interesting and I am already growing bored of the other ones, in the level that I don’t want to keep swiping for more and just meet this one guy and see how it goes.
Do you think this practice of putting my effort on a single gold match at a time can be successful? Or was that just a one time thing? Based on your experiences, do people here just keep chatting to 5 or 6 people at a time? It’s so hard to keep being interesting to that many people, I don’t even know how cheaters do it.
So yeah, probably dumb question but just wanted to get what people’s normal practice on that is.

I’ll die on a steeper hill that Little Mix would have been ever more successful than they were after May 14, 2022/14 May, 2022 if they also dropped Modest and anyone associated with Modest (SAM COXY and that Simon Jones “PR” bloke) after leaving Psycho. Jesy should have also left the group during LM5 as it was apparent that she stopped caring around this time, with the increasing, separately scheduled photoshoots and the further distancing from the girls. Jesy’s contributions to the group also lessened with each new era. As for Sam Coxy, Perrie treats this woman as family and this may be a conflicting matter on a professional basis. I’d say the same with Sairah’s employment at Tap. Simon Jones’ work was also embarrassingly laughable and always ended up with no result as his promises were always being proven to be empty. Those IG stories trying to hype us up were annoying.
I don’t think that it’s unknown that there was conflict between the girls’ management, their UK label and their American label, Columbia. If it wasn’t already obvious, the girls’ UK team was exploiting them to be heavily localized cash cows. While Columbia seemed committed to push Little Mix in America, which would have broken them more into the global stage, their UK team had insidious intentions. And even after the girls switched to RCA, who also have a shifty reputation, they were still tied to Modest.
Salute is the girls’ worst performing album and that’s just facts. While LM5 is another fan favorite, was it a GP favorite? I don’t know the statistics too well but I do know that Glory Days is their best performing album. Was another LM5 really what the fandom wanted? It would’ve been more Salute, more No Hard Feelings style tracks and the Mixer fandom really hasn’t responded to Leigh’s solo music. Side, her team should probably start catering her to more friendly markets outside the UK.
Now, did the girls really “downgrade” after Confetti? I find this statement laughable because Little Mix as a brand, I would say Confetti was the most Little Mix album at LM’s peak, sonically and musically speaking. The only downgrades would be the sappy “MLWLYD” and that awful bridge of A Mess (Happy For You) also the low budget MVs and perhaps BUS shouldn’t have been the lead single. There was also COVID-19. Going back to my earlier point, Jesy really should have left sooner for her “mental health” bc she really isn’t anywhere on the album. Jesy’s insociability with the girls was at its peak during Confetti as Ellie stood in for Jesy in that photoshoot.
Also, the girls should have agreed to “Do It For Myself” as the lead single. Leigh-Anne wrote on it, all they needed to do was work around COVID for a better MV, assuming they were no longer tied to Modest and were the Jade, Leigh, Perrie OT3. They should have also kept Gone Is The Girl and scrapped Nothing But My Feelings.
Confetti wasn’t the girls’ downfall, their UK team was, their management especially was their pitfall. Around LM5, they lost so many international fans because they had lost hope in Little Mix touring outside UK/Europe/AUS/NZ. Little Mix failed to break into the US and properly into Latin America and Asia, LM5 was really their last chance. To make matters worse, the AUS/NZ leg for Confetti was cancelled and I don’t think they even announced European dates.

My ex boyfriend and I have a year long history of being intertwined. We hooked up, then he dated someone else, then we rekindled. Went through the motions of being eeeextra sure this is what he wanted and after lots of what seemed like sincerity, he assured me it was and we carried on merrily! Fast forward a single month (pun intended), I go back home for a week to care of my father, he dumps me the day I get back. Tells me he “thinks” he used me for a place to stay (I let him live with me due to a complicated situation and housing on this island is very tough) and because I was “comfortable” for him as well as he has a gut feeling I’m not the one. Then continued to say I was the only woman who’s ever treated him the way he wants to be treated and has never felt more loved by someone before. Shattered my heart, blind sided me, yet I’m too empathetic to hate him or completely fault him.
I put his stuff outside that night and kicked him out.
I wrote him a letter before I left (like I usually do) and he asked to read it the next day “it might change things”.
No answer after that.
The town we live in is impossible to hide from anyone in and of course we are the only two in the cafe today. He walks up behind me, aggressively says “Hey” and waves at me like I’m not aware he’s there - 2ft next to me. I just turn around and keep reading. He sighs and leaves.
So much more complexity to this story and to him, but for the sake of simplicity… Am I insane for thinking three days after you tell somebody you “think” you used them, you would most likely avoid the person you said that to?
I feel crazy.

Helloo fellow date-needing people. Ill cut straight to the chase! Im a 24 year old guy, ive been single for a while now and i believe my heart is ready to try again and who knows, maybe find that special someone that i can connect with on every aspect, see into eachother's souls and vibe together like you haven't before, someone that can make you feel like you're flying all the time and give you the safest of spaces in the world :) (and also someone that will tell you all the fun facts about animals when going to the zoo)

It's been a long time since I last used Reddit, but this has been on my mind lately and I wanted to know what other people think about this since It's a really sensitive topic for me and I just can't stop thinking about it.
I (16M) have my best friend (19F) who broke up with her boyfriend (17M) some months ago, I'll call her Lucy, and her ex, Jack.
A lot of things happened for them to break up, I'll try to keep it short.
First of all, Jack and I met when I was 12 through an Instagram group since we both liked art and that stuff. Lucy was already my friend by some months by that time, and we both hated Jack. He was extremely racist, homophobic, transphobic, everything. There was not a single good thing about this man. He used to sexualize me for being a trans guy, commenting gross things on my posts whenever it had my face, and much more.
And for some reason, Lucy and him ended up dating. I don't know how. But I accepted it since she was my best friend and thought "well if she's happy then I'll just keep up with it".
At the same time, I was in a relationship with a guy (16M), through the internet. I'll keep it short, he sexually abused me, deteriorated my mental health, cheated on me 3 times, and this is just the beginning.
Lucy and Jack knew about this, but Lucy couldn't help me because I was 12, whenever she would've talked to me about his toxic behavior I'd just brush it off because I "loved him" and he was just confused or whatever excuse I'd find to keep him as the good guy.
And including Jack wouldn't let me and Lucy talk a lot since he would get "jealous" saying that he "wanted to be my best friend" and not her. He would check her chats and see our conversation and TEXT THROUGH THEM to try and talk to me when I wouldn't answer him.
Time passed by and I got off that relationship when I was 14, met someone else at that time and started dating them. But it was kind of toxic too, we broke up once because I couldn't communicate properly, then he came back and asked me to try again, he broke up again with me because "distance wasn't his thing". So I let him go.
He made a lot of gross comments about my at the time boyfriend, and kept sexualizing me and trying to make my boyfriend leave me just because "he was there first."
I had it and blocked him, I spent months having to deal with his non stopping messages about how sorry he was through Lucy, since she was kinda by his side.
Well, some months ago he broke up with her because, in his words, he couldn't handle being with her because he still missed me a lot and the fact she was my best friend made him feel miserable.
Oh well.
Time passed by and some weeks ago Lucy told me she found something I might wanna see, when I checked her messages she had sent me screenshots of her ex talking shit about me in a DISCORD SERVER. I guess he was having another conversation when he said this because things before don't make sense, so I'll quote exactly what he said to like a hundred of people in that server about me:
" Oh yeah, I had a friend who fell in love with a 17 year old chilean guy when she was 14. I mean, 14 when she started dating him. But I guess they actually started having something when she was 13."
The others changed topics, and he kept on talking, but now about my newest ex.
" Because she was a dumbass blinded by love and she forgave him 3 times. She doesn't knows how to live without someone's love. "
Again changed topics, and he talked again.
" And she had the audacity to stop talking to me just because of her boyfriend. Just because he was from the USA and German. Just because she's a gold digger, to get a better future and blah blah blah."
" But then I'm the bad guy, he breaks up with her because he got bored and when I do something slightly bad I'm blocked from fucking everywhere, and the fucking stupid bitch forgives him and not me."
"So she's just a bitch with no self-love."
First of all, I wasn't 14, I was 13 when that guy was 17, and started "dating" when I was 12.
Second of all, he changed the whole story to keep as the "cool nice guy" in front of his friends. And not only that, he used female pronouns on me knowing I've been a trans guy since I was 9. There's no excuse to call me "she" when he knew from the moment he met me.
It's humiliating to know he told everyone about it, and I got an Instagram notification about him taking screenshots of old NSFW drawings I did of me and my groomer when I was 13, and showed to him because I didn't know who else to tell since Lucy wouldn't talk to me because of him.
I feel gross and I honestly don't know what to do. He texted all those things on December 2023, and it's been months since then but I don't know if I should do something. I feel like letting go is the best option but I can't stop thinking about how he's just spreading the SA I went through to everyone and I'm just here, suffering the consequences of it. Since when I was 14 I went through the same at school because of my cousin who looked through my phone and found erotic pictures of me and conversations I used to have with my groomer and told everyone the next day. I was harassed for months.
Anything that I could do? I'm confused and at the same time so mad, but sad.
Thanks for reading. Sorry if it was long, I needed to get a lot of things out.

Hello all! I have lived in CR for the majority of my life, and I have to move soon. All of my family and my job is here in town, and I am really trying to stay as close as possible. My date I have to move out is June 20th.
My current place was a very lucky find at 1k per month, and honestly that is close to the limit of what I can afford. I can push it to 1300 at the most, but online I cannot find anything.
The apartment complexes I have seen that I could pay for, have a restriction on earning 3x the rent.
I own my vehicle and have no payments other than my phone and car insurance, but I am stonewalled from applying unless I can prove I earn 4,500+ per month.
I work full time as a pharmacy technician, and I pull in roughly 2500 per month.
If anyone knows about any hidden gems that perhaps don't advertise themselves as well, I would appreciate a dm!
About me: 25 years old, male, single. I have 2 cats and I am willing to put up a deposit for them. 1 bedroom 1 bath would be more than enough.

Hello - I received a CP3219A (tax year 2021) yesterday which was dated February 26, 2024. The certified letter was apparently lost in transit for over two months before finally arriving at my local post office yesterday. I never received a CP2000.
The 90 days to respond to the CP3219A expire on May 28th so I am trying to understand if I can still provide documentation to the IRS in a timely manner to avoid petitioning in Tax Court. So far I've been unable to speak to anyone in the Underreporting department in order to ask for an extension given the USPS delay as well as request the ability to provide documentation explaining what I believe is the IRS error in flagging a deficiency.
The deficiency is based on mortgage interest deduction associated with a disregarded entity on Schedule E. The total mortgage interest on Schedule E associated with my single-member LLC was incorrectly disallowed in this notice. I have copies of the mortgage interest statements from 2021 but am concerned that the window of time is closing before the Tax Court route is the only option.
Would an extension be possible given that the certified letter was delivered only yesterday?
If no extension is possible, do I still have time to explain and provide documentation to the IRS similar to what I would have expected to have done had I received a CP2000 first?
Thank you!

Hi there! Once again, just trying to see if there is anyone out there for me, or if I've missed my chance. I'm a single dad to 3 boys ( 13, and twins that are 11), that until recently hasn't had much time or luck for dating. I'm not a fan of the dating apps, so I'm here trying my luck. I keep to myself most of the time, I have a little house out in the country, it's very peaceful and would love to find someone to share it with.
I enjoy going to baseball games, hockey games, traveling on weekends to go find the best taco’s in the state. Maybe a random adventure to go vintage shopping at flea markets… who knows it could get crazy… Recently I’ve fallen involve with cooking on weekends with the slow cooker, so finding someone to try new recipes with would be an added bonus
I loooove music, so finding someone that would like to camp out at music festivals for a weekend with my friends and I would be amazing. I do enjoy being outdoors, during the summer I can be found lying in the hammock outside for hours. I'm not really into social media , or politics, but feel free to bounce random conspiracy theories at me while we cuddle by the fire. Also, not really a drinker but I’m very 420 friendly.
I'm just looking for the old deep best friend type love. The type where we love doing things together, but also don't need to be tied at the hip. So, to save you from reading more random ramblings, if any of this sounds good, I will be here... Also, I should put that I am looking for an actual in person relationship. If you're not within a reasonable distance to PA, it won't work. I'm looking for more than a penpal or endless messages, I need something in person and real please :-)

I constantly get offers for Tinder Plus, and I’ve been tempted a few times to see if it’ll finally help me meet people (yes, even hookups, depending on the right circumstances), as I’ve yet to so much as get messaged by a single non-bot person.
But I’ve also read mixed results on the subscription model, some saying it’s led to even more bots rather than actual results. I wanted to ask the opinion of fellow Miami residents on whether the paid app is worth using, or if there’s some other dating app with a paid subscription that produces better results given the area.

I feel single even though I have a boyfriend (30 F and 29 M)
My boyfriend has 2 jobs, and is extremely hard working. He owns his car, his home, and has a cute dog. We were friends for about 4 years before we started dating, and now we have been dating for 4 months. When spending quality time with him, I’m so happy. But, if I’m lucky this happens once a week. He said he’s afraid he will lose his friends and they’re important to him. So he does 1 weekly hangout with them, and 1 virtual hangout on the weekdays. The other 2 days of the week is left with him working his second job late. So sometimes when I really want to see him I sit on his bed and watch tv while he works. We occasionally talk. We spend weekends here and there together, but I work the weekends. Because friend time is important to both of us, on a Friday or a Saturday, when I’m not working we spend time with my friends. At the end of the day we do not get much quality time together, and I would like to incorporate more of that. He said he barely sees his friends as it is, and needs one weekday to cool off and relax. I feel like I’m begging for his time and attention. My love language is quality time, and my other love language is words of affirmation. I don’t feel like I’m receiving neither at this time. I’ve spoken to him time and time again about how we need more quality time, and I need words of affirmation. But, he’s given no effort with the words of affirmation, and when I said I want quality time with him. He said “oh well I was just with you and your friends. I don’t have more time.” Or “well I can’t quit my second job, I’ll lose my home”. He said he’s very happy with our relationship when I asked. I suppose for me, I’m not always happy bc my love languages are not met, and he knows my love languages. Help? TLDR: I love my boyfriend, should I just wait for things to change because I’ve addressed what I want?

This happened about a year ago but im still thinking about it for some reason. One day my gf and I went on a date to volcano falls and there are gokarts there 1 track for little kids who dont reach the height limit and another bigger one for those who reach that and older. Anyways a race is usually 7ish laps around with single and double carts. I was racing in a double with my gf and I race kinda competitively and so we were catching up to this other double cart and a U turn came up(rest of story is in comments)
