2024.05.15 23:26 Beneficial_Stay4558 31 [M] NJ/NY/PA Northeast USA - Looking for a real connection that grows into something great.
I'm 31 years old, live in NJ. 5'9", 165 lbs (fit/athletic build) 3rd generation Chinese American (my family immigrated here in the 1900s). My family identifies as American as we tend to eat more pasta than rice and my generation has not learned the language. College educated with a Bachelor's in Biomedical Science (switched from an Engineering major...turns out I don't like theoretical math); currently working in the pharmaceutical industry and pretty much love the industry as there isn't any work drama and it's relatively straightforward yet challenging.
I've tried a few long distance relationships and they're quite difficult to manage...they were great when we able to meet in person and I didn't mind putting in the extra work. I'd be willing to try one if the distance is reasonable and the there is a definite spark between us. I am pretty sure I fit the definition of a demisexual, so I'll be strictly trying to form a connection first. I REALLY need the emotional connection before there is a sexual attraction, mentally I can't do hook ups (they're just really hard for me to handle and I have turned people down).
Personality wise I've been told that I tend to bring people together and keep things fun. I have a few different groups of friends and communities I am often with...and they can vary from the youngsters (21 to 30) to the old guys (60+) to the group that's around my age. I would say I'm pretty good at conversing and I try to stay on top of most current events. Mentally I'm an old man and feel more comfortable in that setting, so much that I literally hang out with 60+ years olds at the gym after a workout in the hot tub. I call them the hot tub gang and it's always a set of regulars where we might talk about the same thing every single day until someone newer to the group says that we talked about it yesterday.
I would say fitness is a major player in my life. I started out hating swimming as a kid, but here I am almost 27 years later...I made it through the lessons at the YMCA, joined a club team, swam in high school, swam in college and now I'm a swim coach and instructor as a hobby/side job in my free time. There's something about being a part of coaching people and watching them grow up and succeed that makes me smile.
My free time in the cold months usually consists of planning DIY projects or working on them. I tend to work on all the cars in the family and am the one that fixes them up or finds replacements for them. Or planning my next road trip to somewhere nicer. Whereas in the warm months I love going down to the beach to go for a swim and have a nice relaxing breakfast outdoors. I do have a few kayaks that I'll bring out to go with friends or if I feel it's safe a nice solo paddle to clear my mind. When I think about it, too many of my hobbies involve water. But I do enjoy things on dry land I promise!
I'm really looking for someone I can grow together with, a long term or forever relationship. I want a relationship where both of us put 100% in all the time and if we don't, we can talk to each other about our concerns and work it out. Honestly what I've realized is that maybe I am altruistic...I miss making someone feel happy and loved, miss the good morning texts, the waiting around all day just to see their texts, I miss spoiling someone and the feeling of that feeling of seeing that look that you get when someone truly loves you. I would love to slowly get to know you by having some conversations where the time just flies, then to a point where we talk nonstop, maybe some in person dates and then maybe eventually settle down together and enjoy life together.
Important stuff: Although I enjoy interacting with kids and it's a major part of my life...I don't want any of my own so...sorry if this is a dealbreaker for anyone. I don't drink (except for maybe wine at special occasions....I get really bad Asian Flush so I'll turn bright red if I smell alcohol essentially lol), not into smoking/drugs (Bad asthma and I'm just not into any of that stuff). I don't judge anyone that's into drinking or recreational drugs, it's just not for me personally. Religion wise, I'm Agnostic. Politically I lean relatively to the left.
I'm really searching for that genuine connection; voice calls are definitely a plus and would love to get to know you. It's alright if we end up just as friends that talk here and there.
If it sounds like you could be the one send me a chat or DM and tell me a bit about yourself. My name is Kevin and I'd love to know about you.

2024.05.15 23:26 vikingpower89 Introduction Post! Welcome to the Independent Schools sub.
This community is intended to bring all of those involved in the world of independent schools and independent education. Please feel free to introduce yourself and a bit about your situation! I'll start...
(Current Role) I currently teach Writing to grades K-5 and Reading to grades 4 & 5.
(Past Experience) My first job in a school was cleaning the cafeteria after lunches, just after I finished university. I then began work at a private school just outside of Seattle, WA as a teaching assistant. During that time I earned my Masters degree and was hired on to teach Health & Fitness to grades 4-8. My most recent past experience was teaching English Language Arts and Public Speaking to high school students in Guatemala for two years.

I've tried a few long distance relationships and they're quite difficult to manage...they were great when we able to meet in person and I didn't mind putting in the extra work. I'd be willing to try one if the distance is reasonable and the there is a definite spark between us. I am pretty sure I fit the definition of a demisexual, so I'll be strictly trying to form a connection first. I REALLY need the emotional connection before there is a sexual attraction, mentally I can't do hook ups (they're just really hard for me to handle and I have turned people down).
Personality wise I've been told that I tend to bring people together and keep things fun. I have a few different groups of friends and communities I am often with...and they can vary from the youngsters (21 to 30) to the old guys (60+) to the group that's around my age. I would say I'm pretty good at conversing and I try to stay on top of most current events. Mentally I'm an old man and feel more comfortable in that setting, so much that I literally hang out with 60+ years olds at the gym after a workout in the hot tub. I call them the hot tub gang and it's always a set of regulars where we might talk about the same thing every single day until someone newer to the group says that we talked about it yesterday.
I would say fitness is a major player in my life. I started out hating swimming as a kid, but here I am almost 27 years later...I made it through the lessons at the YMCA, joined a club team, swam in high school, swam in college and now I'm a swim coach and instructor as a hobby/side job in my free time. There's something about being a part of coaching people and watching them grow up and succeed that makes me smile.
My free time in the cold months usually consists of planning DIY projects or working on them. I tend to work on all the cars in the family and am the one that fixes them up or finds replacements for them. Or planning my next road trip to somewhere nicer. Whereas in the warm months I love going down to the beach to go for a swim and have a nice relaxing breakfast outdoors. I do have a few kayaks that I'll bring out to go with friends or if I feel it's safe a nice solo paddle to clear my mind. When I think about it, too many of my hobbies involve water. But I do enjoy things on dry land I promise!
I'm really looking for someone I can grow together with, a long term or forever relationship. I want a relationship where both of us put 100% in all the time and if we don't, we can talk to each other about our concerns and work it out. Honestly what I've realized is that maybe I am altruistic...I miss making someone feel happy and loved, miss the good morning texts, the waiting around all day just to see their texts, I miss spoiling someone and the feeling of that feeling of seeing that look that you get when someone truly loves you. I would love to slowly get to know you by having some conversations where the time just flies, then to a point where we talk nonstop, maybe some in person dates and then maybe eventually settle down together and enjoy life together.
Important stuff: Although I enjoy interacting with kids and it's a major part of my life...I don't want any of my own so...sorry if this is a dealbreaker for anyone. I don't drink (except for maybe wine at special occasions....I get really bad Asian Flush so I'll turn bright red if I smell alcohol essentially lol), not into smoking/drugs (Bad asthma and I'm just not into any of that stuff). I don't judge anyone that's into drinking or recreational drugs, it's just not for me personally. Religion wise, I'm Agnostic. Politically I lean relatively to the left.

2024.05.15 23:24 AlternativeIsland400 What if you went back to college?
Hey all, I'm a high school graduate and I'll be starting college this fall. I'm probably going to major in biomedical engineering (maybe switch to ChemE but not sure), and I want to know if you regret your choice of pursuing BME in college? Also, what are things I can do during my four years of college to get better chances of landing a job after graduation? How important is it to focus on getting into a graduate program? Briefly: if you were a college student once again, what would you do differently/earlier to get better outcomes? Thank you in advance, I really appreciate your insights!

2024.05.15 23:24 shaun_c01 Camping in Minnesota
Hello all!
I am in the preliminary stages of planning a get together with some old high school buddies who will be coming up this way (Minnesota) via California next year. We are looking to camp for a week in August and would love some recommendations. Here’s the base of what we’re looking for:
While we will be tent camping we don’t want to completely rough it, so no hiking in, plenty of shade, and a site with power and water would be great. Flushing toilets and hot showers within walking distance is also something we need (we have people with medical issues in our party).
We would love a campground that offers jet ski rentals onsite, but water access with a place to park rented skis would be sufficient.
That's all I can think of as of now, but I appreciate any advice / suggestions / recommendations you might have.

2024.05.15 23:24 Imightbebalding Doctors can't seem to find what's causing my heart palpitations
27M, 5'11, 180lbs, Vyvanse 30mg (since november 2022) and Finasteride 1mg (since February 2024), very active (weightlifting 2x/week, jogging 3-5x/week) living in Canada.
I have had heart palpitations that occur occasionally, maybe once every ten times I work out or go jogging. They started appearing when I was 16 in the middle of a football game after I tackled someone.
Symptoms : I get this weird spasm around my diaphragm and throat, I get the wind knocked out of me and my pulse shoots up instantly (in a matter of a split second) +40-60bpm, stays at an elevated rate for 10 seconds to a couple of minutes and shoots instantly down back to my normal exercise rate. E.g., I will be jogging at a very easy pace, around 140bpm and instantly my pulse will shoot to 200-210 (It doesn't go that high even while doing very strenuous interval training) and stays at that rate for 30 seconds and then instantly goes back to 140 bpm. Here's a screenshot of my apple health app of one time it occured while running.
I've found that when I crouch, lean forward and relax my upper body completely, it tends to trigger my heart rate to go back down to a normal one and stop the palpitations
They seem to happen more often and for longer periods of time recently. These days, they don't necessarily go away with my crouching technique, and when I stand back up I sometimes get a big pressure drop and my vision blacks out for a split second, which is a bit terrifying.
Tests I've done :
I've been prescribed a lot of tests, which during all of them, I wasn't able to recreate the palpitations
I would like to get rid of those symptoms. they are a nuisance to my workouts, they scare me a bit and I worry they will get worse with time, meaning that I won't be able to exercise anymore, which is something that is very important in my life. That being said, I don't know where to go from here since nothing was shown in my tests.

2024.05.15 23:24 Butterfly6628 i’m not sure
i’m sorry for the brain dump. this is from my notes app. i just wrote whatever came to mind.
i’m asexual and repulsed. i’m not sure if i’m on the aromantic spectrum or not. in middle and high school i never dated or was interested in anyone. i kept to myself and the few friends i had. i just didn’t care. i hated seeing people making out at lunch and listening to my friends complain about their relationships was disgusting. i wanted no part in it. i also wasn’t aware that sexual and romantic feelings were separate so this might have been a factor.
now as a consenting adult there’s no doubt that i’m asexual. naked bodies don’t appeal to me neither does nsfw smut or fan art of the characters i like. i can’t look at someone and wonder what’s underneath their clothes because frankly i dont want to know. i dont want to kiss, hold hands, or cuddle. get it away from me. people are way more attractive with clothes on and at a distance. i’m starting to think i might be aro as well. romance is a love hate relationship. if it’s not howls moving castle or fake scenarios about my favorite characters i don’t want it. i’m obsessed with acheron and black swan from Honkai. it’s not canon i don’t think but i love this ship and it’s one of the only ships i am interested. everything else is eh.
if i could have a romantic relationship without all the physical and sexual intimacy i’m not sure if i would tbh. i don’t see how that would be different than friendship but i also don’t understand romantic attraction. i can’t wrap my head around the definition. i’m not planning on getting married and buying a house together in the future. i’m not sure if anything i said makes aroace or just asexual. i have zero experience with dating so i hope i can get some better insight from you guys.

2024.05.15 23:23 Puzzleheaded-Meal-71 How do I (19M) deal with college friend (20M) over the summer?
I (19M) have this one friend (20M) at school. We're rising juniors, met freshman year and are the best of friends. I've always been scared that best friendships are transient and they change over time but this guy understands me like no other. I love and appreciate him so much because he's opened me up to so many different things and is just overall a great person/friend. We have established that we're each others' best friends in drunk conversations. The issue is that over the summers and breaks, he doesn't really reach out. Now, I've always known he's not much of a texter (takes a longer time to respond and just doesn't really like it in general, or thinks he needs to be completely free to text) and he doesn't really like to talk about very personal things unless he's really thinking a lot about it. So he's already pretty reserved, but I'm pretty much the opposite. While at school, we talk every day about all sorts of things, we grab lunch every day, every time we drink we do so together, everything fun we've done in the past year and a half or so we've done together. To go from this to barely talking to him over the breaks is really tough for me mentally. I have a few high school friends at home that I get to hang out with but it's not the same. They don't really understand me as much anymore because I've honestly changed since being in college. For me, coming home is always a bit depressing and I love to see my friends and family for a bit, but after a few days I always want to return my life in college. Right now I know I would be talking to him about finding an internship and how everyone at home is, etc. but I feel like I'm a bother when I text him and I don't really like to call especially since it hasn't even been a week since we last saw each other. I know I'm already a very attached person so I've been trying to not worry about it too much, but I know that I'm always the main one that reaches out/calls whenever we're on break. He has many more friends than I do at home and he also has 2 brothers that he's really close to that he's able to talk to whenever he wants. He's very close to his older brother and calls him maybe around twice a week at school and he tells him about pretty much the same stuff he tells me at school so I just kind of wish he would do that with me. It's so tough not to have someone to talk to, especially since I feel like this is one of the only people that would get where I'm coming from and whom I already talked to about pretty much everything for 9 months of the year. I don't know if I should bring this up next time we're on the phone, because I know he doesn't do it intentionally but I really wish I got to speak to him more and hear about how he's doing and what's up with his life. Maybe I'm being too needy and it's not that serious but I thought I would ask here.

2024.05.15 23:23 RelationshipOne6187 Advice on high school theater lighting replacement
My child's high school is looking to replace their antiquated lighting system in the theater. We have received two quotes and they are vastly different one uses the obsidian ONYX NX1 console and the other uses an ETC Ion XE console. The proposal with the obsidian onyx consul is much closer to our budget, but I suspect proposals are not apples to apples. Trying to get some advice on whether the obsidian onyx would be a good fit for a high school theater, where we host musicals, plays, dance performances, etc.

2024.05.15 23:23 Life_AmIRight At what point can you no longer blame the past?
At what point do you stop using your childhood to justify how you act?
At what point is it no longer your parents fault, but yours?
Some say there’s no time limit for healing. Which I think is true, but don’t you also have to stop licking your wounds?
——————-
I guess I bring up this question cause I’m 20F African American with a chronic illness and OCPD who has some family trauma, medical trauma, and has dealt with a lot of rejection socially, and I’m at this weird crossroads of giving up vs getting up.
Growing up I struggled really bad socially, so I decided “I’ll just focus on academics”. So I did, but then in high school I got sick, so that was over too. And with dealing with my chronic illness, I’ve been so stressed being stuck at home with my family without a way to get out essentially.
And in all the therapy and different psychiatric treatments I’ve had, a lot of my issues point back to my family and childhood experiences (like most do I think) But my parents will be like “I know you think this is all our fault, but it’s not” and that stumps me a little.
Cause if we look at the chain of events they’re the first chain; my past is the roots.
But do we blame the roots if the flowers get drowned in the rain? Or burned in the sun.
I’ve always been taught, “life is unfair; it is what it is, so move on” —- Is that too harsh? Or is it just a tough pill to swallow?

2024.05.15 23:22 Beneficial_Stay4558 31 [M4F] NJ/NY/PA Northeast USA - Looking for a real connection that grows into something great.
I'm 31 years old, live in NJ. 5'9", 165 lbs (fit/athletic build) 3rd generation Chinese American (my family immigrated here in the 1900s). My family identifies as American as we tend to eat more pasta than rice and my generation has not learned the language. College educated with a Bachelor's in Biomedical Science (switched from an Engineering major...turns out I don't like theoretical math); currently working in the pharmaceutical industry and pretty much love the industry as there isn't any work drama and it's relatively straightforward yet challenging.
I've tried a few long distance relationships and they're quite difficult to manage...they were great when we able to meet in person and I didn't mind putting in the extra work. I'd be willing to try one if the distance is reasonable and the there is a definite spark between us. I am pretty sure I fit the definition of a demisexual, so I'll be strictly trying to form a connection first. I REALLY need the emotional connection before there is a sexual attraction, mentally I can't do hook ups (they're just really hard for me to handle and I have turned people down).
Personality wise I've been told that I tend to bring people together and keep things fun. I have a few different groups of friends and communities I am often with...and they can vary from the youngsters (21 to 30) to the old guys (60+) to the group that's around my age. I would say I'm pretty good at conversing and I try to stay on top of most current events. Mentally I'm an old man and feel more comfortable in that setting, so much that I literally hang out with 60+ years olds at the gym after a workout in the hot tub. I call them the hot tub gang and it's always a set of regulars where we might talk about the same thing every single day until someone newer to the group says that we talked about it yesterday.
I would say fitness is a major player in my life. I started out hating swimming as a kid, but here I am almost 27 years later...I made it through the lessons at the YMCA, joined a club team, swam in high school, swam in college and now I'm a swim coach and instructor as a hobby/side job in my free time. There's something about being a part of coaching people and watching them grow up and succeed that makes me smile.
My free time in the cold months usually consists of planning DIY projects or working on them. I tend to work on all the cars in the family and am the one that fixes them up or finds replacements for them. Or planning my next road trip to somewhere nicer. Whereas in the warm months I love going down to the beach to go for a swim and have a nice relaxing breakfast outdoors. I do have a few kayaks that I'll bring out to go with friends or if I feel it's safe a nice solo paddle to clear my mind. When I think about it, too many of my hobbies involve water. But I do enjoy things on dry land I promise!
I'm really looking for someone I can grow together with, a long term or forever relationship. I want a relationship where both of us put 100% in all the time and if we don't, we can talk to each other about our concerns and work it out.

I would love to slowly get to know you by having some conversations where the time just flies, then to a point where we talk nonstop, maybe some in person dates and then maybe eventually settle down together and enjoy life together.
Important stuff: I don't drink (except for maybe wine at special occasions....I get really bad Asian Flush so I'll turn bright red if I smell alcohol essentially lol), not into smoking/drugs (Bad asthma and I'm just not into any of that stuff). I don't judge anyone that's into drinking or recreational drugs, it's just not for me personally. Religion wise, I'm Agnostic. Politically I lean relatively to the left.
I'm really searching for that genuine connection; voice calls are definitely a plus and would love to get to know you. It's alright if we end up just as friends that talk here and there.
If it sounds like you could be the one send me a chat or DM and tell me a bit about yourself. My name is Kevin and I'd love to know about you.

2024.05.15 23:22 g_d_losPH Making friends while being outside of Lebanon
I, like some other high school graduates, immediately moved out after school to go to university. While I have my own social circle that I managed to build throughout /childhood/adolescense, I feel like I have changed so much since and I could form new, different friendships with other lebanese, but as I am far away from Lebanon, I struggle to know how. I love my current friends but I feel like I am very limited by only experiencing Lebanon through just them.
Also what makes it worse for me is that I live in a country where lebanese presence is so small, but I do live close to some cities where there is a lot of Lebanese people.
How do expats enlarge their lebanese social circles? I am in some lebanese whatsapp groups in france or belgium for example but I don't see people looking to meet up, plus they are all much older.
Also if any lebanese, expat or not, wants to talk, I would love to.

2024.05.15 23:22 midnight_adventur3s Am I overreacting here?
This is going to be long, sorry in advance.
University has been difficult to say the least. I dropped out of my first school due to my mental health basically being nonexistent. I moved in with some relatives and graduated with my associates from community college. I am now finally about to graduate from undergrad soon.
My parents and I have had a very rocky relationship for most of my life. They were extremely controlling and put a suffocating amount of pressure on me about grades. Things like how I was destined to work in fast-food for the rest of my life if I got anything but As, pretty much starting from the time the ABCDF system was introduced in school when I was 9. It got to the point where I went NC with them for while at my first university after they violated FERPA by posing as me to access my transcripts knowing that I absolutely did not consent to them viewing my grades.
One of my parents had started a post-grad program when I graduated high school, and graduated the week before I graduated community college. Something to know about our graduations: my parent’s graduation was a multi-day affair with university commencement, department graduation, and other events. My graduation was one day and one ceremony for the entire school.
My relative I was living with at the time hired a pro photographer to take my graduation pics on their property following the ceremony. My parent had some pro photography done through their university during their festivities, but hadn’t hired a photographer solely for them during that time. Students only had two pro photos taken by the school at mine, one before entering the building and one when we walked.
What was supposed to be my photo session basically turned into grad photos for me, grad photos for my parent (they brought all of their regalia up with them to my graduation), and family portraits without the grad gear because “we hadn’t had updated ones in years.” I haven’t been given full access to the pictures since they were taken a few years ago, and the ones of I have seen have all either been the family portraits or photos of both me and my parent in our grad gear. I haven’t really seen any of the ones of just me, my partner and I, or me and the relatives who actually supported me mentally and financially through community college.
Basically, I kinda feel like my graduation was hijacked a bit. My parent had basically a whole week of events and potential photo opportunities, and the one day I had (not to mention it was my first graduation since my HS diploma) was basically overtaken by family portraits and group pics. If I try and bring up these feelings, I’m always met with a) I’m overreacting and an attention hog, b) it’s economical to have combined the sessions, and c) we haven’t had family portraits done in years so what better time to do it than my graduation? It doesn’t help my feelings either that my “extremely proud of my graduation” parents basically called both my degree and my intended transfer program useless to my face within two months.
I’m supposed to graduate from undergrad soon and I can’t help but feel anxious about them potentially coming for the event after last time, and I guess it has me wondering if I truly overreacted or if my anxiety and our tense relationship is just getting the better of me?

University has been difficult to say the least. I dropped out of my first school due to my mental health basically being nonexistent. I moved in with some relatives and graduated with my associates from community college. I am now finally about to graduate from undergrad soon.
My parents and I have had a very rocky relationship for most of my life. They were extremely controlling and put a suffocating amount of pressure on me about grades. Things like how I was destined to work in fast-food for the rest of my life if I got anything but As, pretty much starting from the time the ABCDF system was introduced in school when I was 9. It got to the point where I went NC with them for while at my first university after they violated FERPA by posing as me to access my transcripts knowing that I absolutely did not consent to them viewing my grades.
One of my parents had started a post-grad program when I graduated high school, and graduated the week before I graduated community college. Something to know about our graduations: my parent’s graduation was a multi-day affair with university commencement, department graduation, and other events. My graduation was one day and one ceremony for the entire school.
My relative I was living with at the time hired a pro photographer to take my graduation pics on their property following the ceremony. My parent had some pro photography done through their university during their festivities, but hadn’t hired a photographer solely for them during that time. Students only had two pro photos taken by the school at mine, one before entering the building and one when we walked.

2024.05.15 23:21 Anhxtaiii Am I [28M] wrong here? [F27)
This might be a long read so brace yourself ...
When I'm asking if I'm being in the wrong here I only mean in terms of accountability and in regards to the situation and not so much about the wrong or right itself and would like some insight/advice basically..
TLDR:
In the case of [HER], all her exes are by products of one night stands which ended up into relationship because they all asked her for one to her surprised and she just agreed with them. She described as liking them but not really ever falling in love with them so I guess I'm the first one to be fall into that category. In [HER] case, she is highly confident about herself and in what she accomplish (makes a lot more money than the average person). She gets self gratification from making money even though she can just live off her parents wealth but she finds having nothing to do boring so she became independent.
With that in mind, here's how this story starts.
On April 3rd, I reinstall Hinge because I want to have some new connection after moving on from my ex. It's not until April 23rd when I match with [HER]. At first I was surprised since I didn't expect it so I express my surprised via text in which she later explained her side via a voice note saying that she thought I looked like one of her students so she was afraid someone would recognize her which is her fear so she never matched with me. (I sent her a total of around 4 likes because I used to delete my account and make a new one again and her acc would always show and she kinda recognize from that as well.)
After that, we just exchange a lot of voice notes talking to each other about stuff and things which later I ask if its okay for me to ask her to go out on a date at this point. She then explains she has some requirements before actually going on a date with someone, she prefers getting someone a little bit more and seeing if we're compatible before meeting since she finds it weird how most people would rush which I agreed.
From there, we talk a bit more via voice note where she asks me what's my definition of love and my concept of relationships which she said almost is the same as hers. She explained for her to fall in love for someone it would at least take her 5 years or so and that's after they're able to past the 4 stages of love described in her own way; honeymoon phase, difference, compromise and initial stage of love.
The next day we just talk some more via text and and voice notes till 2 AM and what not talking about random things and life. At this point, I thought we had some good chemistry or so. We later talk about our exes and stuff.
A few days later I then try and ask again for a date since it felt like we had established some sort of rapport and knew a bit more of each other. She then tells me more about her schedule and how busy she'll be and how she'll be traveling soon in the next 2 weeks for her school stuff. At some point she said she had a symposium she was organizing at the university and I asked if it would be weird If I came to see her.
She said she didn't mind but wouldn't have time to cater me since it would be busy. Please also note that up until this point, I didn't know her real name since in Hinge she's using some random name and I didn't really ask her about it since I guess she didn't want to but I figure me showing up to that event, I would at least find what's her name which I did.
Anyways day comes and I show up to the event, it's is a medium size classroom. I didn't recognize her at first since she had a different haircut. I didn't wanna intrude or anything so I just sat there listening to the event till the end. I didn't really get the chance to talk to her or anything by the end since they had an after party and whatnot so I decided to head home instead feeling somewhat weird? So rather than just heading straight home I just sat there on the subway train listening to music instead. I texted her saying I wished we could have spent a bit of time together but you looked so busy and what not.
After a few minutes later I decide to head out for a walk because I was just feeling weird, I then see a text from her inviting me to help with returning books to the library if I want to which I agreed. To my surprised she showed up with two luggages .. which we just walked around till we reach the library. From there, I got to finally meet her in person and talk to her for a bit. I thought we had a good time, by the end I walked her home and that was mostly. We just kinda waved to her each and say goodbye to each other. I was kinda thirsty that night so I asked her for water but she gave me some korean brand banana juice instead. I then later send her a text thanking her for inviting me to help her which she doesn't reply to.
She's usually only replies if I initiate the conversation first which then let me gaslight myself into thinking it's because she's probably busy .. anyways we text each other for a bit that night because I asked for her number later instead of using Hinge. I then get somewhat down bad and ask if I can see her again tomorrow in which she replies "what's the benefit of seeing you again tomorrow?" which I thought was funny but she was serious. She had to write her REB so I guess she didn't really have time.
It's then the weekend and on the morning of Saturday she invites me to join her to the library and then we can eat at some place later if I want to where she'll be busy working on some stuff. She emphasize that she'll be annoyed if she is disturbed while trying to get work done which I didn't mind since my work is online and I only need a laptop to work.
I showed up at the library a bit early and letting her know, she then tells me she's going to get some coffee nearby first and then meet me so I wait for her at the library. Around 30 min goes by and I start getting a bit worried because she still hasn't showed up and hasn't given me any updates at which point I text her if anything is alright or if she's safe and what not. I get no answers for a bit then later she texts me she's inside where I was on my way to the coffee so I go back inside and then we just sit near each other and focus on our work. I give her the same korean banana juice which I found later at some korean market I went by to buy before meeting her. A few hours goes by we then go to a japanese place by walking there so I get to speak with her for a bit which was nice. I then pay for the bill then walk her home and then again we just wave to each other and say goodbye.
At this point, there has been no physical affection or the sort. Her body language isn't really telling me she's comfortable so I'm not really going for it even though I'm starving for it. I figure she prefers taking things slow so I'll go at her pace. Again, I text her later thanking her for inviting me and spending some time together which I appreciate. She doesn't really reply and giving me back the same energy.
So constantly, I'm always wondering if she's interested in me or enjoy spending time with me. When I ask her about it, it most of the time gets deflected or maybe it's a language barrier and I don't always get what she means when she sends some of her texts if I'm being honest but for some reason I find it cute. it's not like she's playing hard to get but it's confusing to say the least.
Anyways, because of that, I became hesitant to make plans to see her again since she doesn't really people calling her on the phone either unless absolutely necessary she explained to which I joked saying if I'm about to die then I'll call you.
After that second "date". i just try to limit my interaction to texting her a few text daily or so because I just wanted to have some kind of interaction with her. At this point I realized this may or may not be a one-side interest but then I gaslight myself thinking, she's a busy person and still makes some time for me so surely she's interested in some way?.
After a week or so of daily interaction I decide to somewhat stop contact because I also wanted to focus on my stuff and perhaps explore my other dating options if any .. a week goes by and I never hear from her again until one day she just sends me a text that just finished working at some factory as an interpreter and that her phone will be temporarily be disabled because she'll be traveling.
I then expressed my surprised because I figured she had forgotten about me and whatnot. We then exchange a few text here and there, we both caught a cold and talked about how shitty the weather is here and stuff. Again, I'm always the one having to initiate or there won't be any contact .. like at all. So it's hard for me to know if the person is interested even when being asked so I'm left with just overthinking.
Anyways, I ask her more about what time she's leaving and what time and if she wants to spends the last 2 days eating out and spending time together and stuff.
She said she went to some resto the day before but it was busy and had no table because of mother's day. At this point, I looked up the resto because I wanted to make some reservation so we could go there but I stopped myself because I had no idea what kind of situationship this was and if I was putting more effort and not receiving any. So I ended up sleeping instead.
The next day in the morning she texts me she went back to that resto but found out it's only open on certain days for brunch so she was sad and we exchanged a few random texts from that.
then the next day, this is our last conversation this morning before she's away for the next 4 months ..
ME
Or maybe you're right, maybe I'm the problem idk..
HER
NEED OBJECTIVE OPINIONS/ADVICES? I consider myself pretty in tune with myself and my emotions but here I find myself a bit confused and I can't tell if I'm getting clingy or obsessive or too close to the situation to think clearly so I figured I'd make a post and hear some of yall thoughts on this to see if maybe I'm the one who still need to work on myself or maybe we're just not compatible? I guess it would also help me get some closure and not feel so shitty.
p.s if you made it this far, thank you for reading and hopefully you have some insight on my situation since I do not have that much experience when it comes to dating certain girls.
i also passively use twitter and saw this tweet that goes: I’ve noticed I don’t have an issue communicating. My issue is people’s responses . It’s the lack of accountability and the one-sided perceptions that I cannot tolerate.
And I thought that was kinda how I'm feeling right now but not sure ...

TLDR:
Mixed feelings about a girl I just been dating for a few weeks or so? We only met around 2 times in person since she's somewhat busy. I feel like I'm putting more effort and energy than receiving it but unsure if it's just because the other person prefer taking things slow but I can't tell because whenever I ask her if she's interested, she's always kinda deflecting the subject. She's going to be away for the next 4 months so I won't be able to talk to her and our last convo this morning was kinda awkward ..
Relationships Background: I met my first ex a few months ago and she gave me a speedrun of everything most couple would usually do after a few months and since I didn't know any better I just went with it since she was my first everything. It ended with her initiating the breakup after less than a month after 2 weeks of long distance after she came to visit me. She gave me the "it's not you, it's me" and "you are the first one to treat me right" (she had multiple partners). She was also a bit insecure and sensitive and needed constant reassurance.In the case of [HER], all her exes are by products of one night stands which ended up into relationship because they all asked her for one to her surprised and she just agreed with them. She described as liking them but not really ever falling in love with them so I guess I'm the first one to be fall into that category.

Will I see you again after 4 months or this is goodbye..? I feel a bit envious of your exes because they all got to be in a relationship with you and meet the girlfriend version of [HER] and all I ever got seems to be the busy version that just sends me off saying bye bye and leaving me confused most of the time with her texts haha 😅HER
? wtf you don at 6 am plus even boyfriends need to see me off for the summer. I only going for fieldwork, not leaving. don't worry, you will see me when I'm backME
I was trying to fix my sleep schedule and I ended up waking up early randomly and then you were in my thoughts idk What do you mean I'll see you after you're back, are you saying you want me to wait for you? 😭 I don't even know what we are, I figured you're too busy to think about that or me as an option so I'm left overthinking.. I would have wanted to see you off but I didn't know where we standHER
I thought you gonna visit yesterday since you askedME
I wanted to but I didn't know if you wanted me to since it seemed you wanted to go to [restaurant] I was gonna make reservations there but then I realized I might be doing too much because I don't know we're in a relationship or just buddies. Now you leave in one hour and I'm even more confusedHER
Can't you see the problem in your first 'relationship' is that you guys rush everything? In my opinion, you don't know how to form healthy relationships. Take it slow. If you want to see me, make plans. Don't moan afterwards this and that. I can tell you I have always been very busy even with boyfriends. I suggest you set goals and we can celebrate together once you achieve them. I will be back in September. You're welcome to contact me then.ME
Yes I agree that rushing was the issue in my first but in this case it's more of a mutual interest and communication. From my perspective, it seems like I'm chasing you for some reason because I'm not getting the same energy that I'm sending out. It seems you only respond if I initiate first. I'm always left wondering if you actually want to spend time with me or interested. When I ask you about that, you seem to be deflecting instead of giving me a straight answer or tell me how you feel.. I literally have no idea what you feel most of the time aside from being busyI can take it slow as a 100 years as long that I know the other person is also interested in building something together in the near future with me. I do want to make plans but it's hard to differentiate if I'm being used for my kindness or for attention when I receive no reassurance when being asked for it? Surely you understand the concept of return on investment.
Or maybe you're right, maybe I'm the problem idk..
HER
well, investment. I would say even my friends invest more on me than you, if you really want to argue that. I also think if we can't make good friends, we won't make good couples. If you rush things, I will retreat because I need my independence more than anything. Make you own choice. Do not talk like a victim.I didnt really reply anything after that because well not sure how to respond after reading that so I ended up on reddit instead.
NEED OBJECTIVE OPINIONS/ADVICES? I consider myself pretty in tune with myself and my emotions but here I find myself a bit confused and I can't tell if I'm getting clingy or obsessive or too close to the situation to think clearly so I figured I'd make a post and hear some of yall thoughts on this to see if maybe I'm the one who still need to work on myself or maybe we're just not compatible?

2024.05.15 23:20 Puzzleheaded-Meal-71 How do I deal with college friends over the summer
I (19M) have this one friend (20M) at school. We're rising juniors, met freshman year and are the best of friends. I've always been scared that best friendships are transient and they change over time but this guy understands me like no other. I love and appreciate him so much because he's opened me up to so many different things and is just overall a great person/friend. We have established that we're each others' best friends in drunk conversations. The issue is that over the summers and breaks, he doesn't really reach out. Now, I've always known he's not much of a texter (takes a longer time to respond and just doesn't really like it in general, or thinks he needs to be completely free to text) and he doesn't really like to talk about very personal things unless he's really thinking a lot about it. So he's already pretty reserved, but I'm pretty much the opposite. While at school, we talk every day about all sorts of things, we grab lunch every day, every time we drink we do so together, everything fun we've done in the past year and a half or so we've done together. To go from this to barely talking to him over the breaks is really tough for me mentally. I have a few high school friends at home that I get to hang out with but it's not the same. They don't really understand me as much anymore because I've honestly changed since being in college. For me, coming home is always a bit depressing and I love to see my friends and family for a bit, but after a few days I always want to return my life in college. Right now I know I would be talking to him about finding an internship and how everyone at home is, etc. but I feel like I'm a bother when I text him and I don't really like to call especially since it hasn't even been a week since we last saw each other. I know I'm already a very attached person so I've been trying to not worry about it too much, but I know that I'm always the main one that reaches out/calls whenever we're on break. He has many more friends than I do at home and he also has 2 brothers that he's really close to that he's able to talk to whenever he wants. He's very close to his older brother and calls him maybe around twice a week at school and he tells him about pretty much the same stuff he tells me at school so I just kind of wish he would do that with me. It's so tough not to have someone to talk to, especially since I feel like this is one of the only people that would get where I'm coming from and whom I already talked to about pretty much everything for 9 months of the year. I don't know if I should bring this up next time we're on the phone, because I know he doesn't do it intentionally but I really wish I got to speak to him more and hear about how he's doing and what's up with his life. Maybe I'm being too needy and it's not that serious but I thought I would ask here.

2024.05.15 23:19 DragonFl3ies Question (Planning on applying next Year)
Hey,
I’m a Canadian/American student at a top Canadian school taking a year of school to work. Planning on trying to transfer to an Ivy League but was wondering if that would be possible as a non-vet, non-CC student. I will have a good resume geared towards finance, and Princeton or Columbia would be ideal. CGPA in high 3.7, close to 3.8, GPA this semester was 3.94.
Do you guys think it’s possible? I also don’t have an SAT score.

I’m a Canadian/American student at a top Canadian school taking a year of school to work.

Honestly, if you want to simply go for dinner (30$ each before tip) after tip, 35$ each. So we are up to $70. And I’m talking cheap pub food here.
Drinks are anywhere from $10 / pint before tip, and if she drinks fancy, $15.
2 drinks before dinner (1 each) that’s 25$
We are at $95.
Stick around for 4 more afterwards (2 each) and we are at 195$ (before tip for drinks) at 15%, we are now at $210. Safe rides home depend on how far the cab has to take us. This is ridiculous. I miss high school dates.

2024.05.15 23:18 quite-operational Art student, then what?
Hey I’m a junior in college and I’ve been studying Theatre Design & Technology (BA) specifically focused on Scenic Design and Scenic Artistry. This summer I will be working as a scenic artist/paint charge for the third year in a row at a Shakespeare Festival. I’m good at what I do, and I try to bolster my other skills like ordering supplies and budgeting for my department too. I could see myself doing this for a while, but it requires a lot of strenuous physical activity that takes a toll. I’m only 20, I don’t need to be hurting myself like this.
My problem is that I feel like I’m not focusing in the right direction. I really like drawing and painting and I’ve only been able to do it for a really specific purpose for the last few years which is theatre. I picked scenic design because it was a perfect intersection of art and theatre, but now I’m not confident that’s what I want to do once I graduate, which is coming up relatively soon.
I’m taking an intro to painting class next semester to stretch the old fine arts muscles and bolster the GPA. I’m also in the process of associate scenic designing for one of my department’s shows in the fall, and I’m the scenic designer for our student-produced children’s theatre production in the spring. Hopefully my experience in these projects will help me see more clearly how I feel about scenic designing.
In the world of art I’ve also considered mural work, crafts, advertising like window painting or chalk, but I’m looking for something stable that I can be doing for a long time, earn consistent income, live in one place, and not hurt my body so much.
I still enjoy working in theatre but I feel like I’ve pigeonholed myself a bit, at least mentally. Here are other areas I’m interested in: - Research: In designing, directing, and whenever else it comes up, I really really enjoy the research component of the creative process. I often create thorough and comprehensive slideshows of cited visual and textual research that helps myself and others as we proceed with our projects. - Directing: I’ve taken two courses and enjoyed the work thoroughly. I applied to assistant direct a show last year, but I didn’t get it, so I’m trying again next semester. I’m interested to get to be in on full-scale productions. - Graphic design: I took graphic design classes in high school and I liked using the Adobe programs. My sister works in front end web developing and I find it interesting. - Cosmetology: I’m considering getting a cosmetology license after graduation. I’ve always been into cutting and coloring hair and it can be very creative. - Teaching?: I often play teacher with my peers when I work in paints or building the scenery for shows. I give tutorials on using tools, paint techniques, and shop safety. I used to say I’d never be a teacher but I realized there’s all different levels of teaching so who knows.

2024.05.15 23:17 sxrgiovv Seeking Job Opportunity in Antwerp - 22-Year-Old Portuguese
Hey everyone, I'm a 22-year-old from Portugal who recently made the bold move to Antwerp about two months ago to work as a Scaffolder, the only thing is... I absolutely hate it.
I really gave it a try but I came to realize that is not the job for me, I feel absolutely miserable every day, but despite feeling the urge to go back to Portugal after this work experience, I really fallen in love with Antwerp during this time. So I would like to get a new job in the city.
However, my biggest challenge in finding a new job here is that my current company offers accommodation. So, if I change it, I would need to switch to a job that also provides accommodation or one that assists in finding housing.
So, here I am, reaching out to this wonderful community in Antwerp, hoping that someone out there might have a lead, an opportunity, or even just some advice to offer.
I only have completed high school education but I am fully fluent in English. My background includes experience in warehouse, logistics, customer service and diverse hospitality roles.
Thanks Everyone!
