I (F20s) have had a crippling crush on this guy (M20s) i see usually once a week or so for about 10 months. We’re in similar scenes. I never thought it would progress. He asked me out a few months ago and it didn’t go anywhere. That’s fine. I still like him.

The problem is before he asked me out, I felt intense shame about liking him. And now afterwards, I still feel shame for liking him despite the dating not working out. He’s conventionally attractive and I’m sure gets tons of attention like the attention I’m giving him. But he never asked me to act like this or feel this way about him, it feels almost nonconsensual to like him? And it feels like I’m breaking my own boundaries to like him?

Liking him feels awful. But i can’t act normal around him. I overthink everything. The few dates we went on I acted fine and chill I think but on the inside I was utterly freaking out. And now I still see him around and I wish I could be friendly to him since we know each other a bit more now, but I’m still terrified of speaking to him a bit. for no discernible reason.

I’m sorry for the question but I can’t find another post with this problem or anything in my manual. I have a Konica Minolta Dimage G600.

When I take photos at night (with flash) without anything light around, the camera doesn’t know how to focus and when the flash goes off, the photos are always blurry. It takes 2-3 photos before the camera registers the subject of focus to get a clear shot. Is there a way to manipulate the camera before taking the photo to get it to focus with the flash?

Granted the camera is from 2004 so it might not have technology to do this reliably but maybe this is a common problem with older cameras that someone has found a workaround for?
