There are some guys I see pretty frequently and they will play eye tag with me and stare for a while, but never act on it. Does this usually mean they’re taken or just not interested on making a move?
So a few days ago, I 23F went to play kickball and I remember this guy that kept starring at me across the field. We were kind of playing eye tag across the field at one point. We’ve played together twice on two separate days. When we would run at the same time (me trying to get away from him), we would collide a bit and each time he’s either put his hand on my lower back/waist a little and kinda of kept me up. I remember one time he saved me from falling and almost picked me up a little bit before I could hit the ground with both hands around my waist (kind of like a hug, but from behind and in the waist/stomach area). No one else does this or has done this. We just usually let each other fall and then offer a hand up.
The age ranges on my kickball team and other teams are pretty wide and he looks like he could be in his 20s, but idk. And I never got a chance to check out his hands to see if there was a ring or not.
Is this enough to act on and maybe ask him out, is he just being a good sport, or wait and gather more info?
For me, my social cues are non-exsistent and I basically feel like a human chameleon. I just mirror people and after I’m done, I take notes on what’s normal, what was received well, and what wasn’t. Also, I HATE sarcasm. I can never tell when people are being sarcastic or not and since I have a hard time telling I always feel stupid when they’re like “girl I was being sarcastic.”
Your turn!
I 23F go through waves where I really love weight lifting and then I start hating it. I’ll usually do it around 3-4x per week and I start to I feel inflamed, my face is puffy, I’m ravenous, my weight on the scale goes up by a few pounds, and my clothes feel tight. I understand your weight going up after lifting is always bad since you’re building muscle, but I guess it’s more of a mental thing for me post-weight loss since I lost around 20lbs 3 years ago and have kept it off.
Compare this to when I go back to making walking an hour a day 3x per week and playing soccer casually 2x per week my main forms of working out, my weight doesn’t go up (in fact it may go down), my clothes fit well, I don’t feel or look puffy, and I look slimmer.
Why does weight lifting make me feel and look inflamed?
Are there any cat cafes or shelters near or in Atlanta that don’t mind if you come to see the animals, but not adopt? I have a full house over here with two dogs and a cat, but sometimes I’d just like to go play with the other cats and dogs.
While I was at a bar, I realized that I left my drivers license at home. I decided to settle for a Shirley temple.
The guy sitting next to be asked what I got and I told him, so he asked if I drank or not. I told him I do, but I just left my license at home. He offered to get me a drink, went and got it, and we talk for the rest of the night.
Sadly, I didn’t get his number then, but I’ll see him again soon since we play on an adult sports team. Hopefully I have a chance to ask since I thought he was cute.
Any interest at all here or just a kinda guy? I’m 23F and he’s 27M.
So like the title says, would it be weird if a girl (you’ve interacted with in person, but don’t have their Instagram) found your Instagram through mutual friends or people you both know and DM’d you because she was interested?
Or would it be better to wait until the next time you see the guy in person and ask then?
Asking for a friend :)
So in January I 23F felt horrible and was experiencing a little bit of hair shedding. I looked into iron deficiency being a possible culprit and found out that a ferritin of 24 (what it was at the time) isn’t ideal at all for women. My then primary care doctor said I didn’t need to supplement since it was in range, but I got a second opinion and I’ve been supplementing ever since with iron bisglycinate and vitamin c.
Diet wise, I haven’t ever really eaten red meat, just poultry and fish, but I’ve been trying to change that. I’ve also purchased beef liver capsules. Some additions to my diet aside from red meat are beans , oats, dark chocolate/cocoa powder, lentils, chicken thighs instead of breast, broccoli, collard greens, and tons of bell peppers, oranges, and kiwi for vit c. Is there anything else I should add?
I’ve also been spacing out and almost kind of avoiding matcha due to it blocking iron absorption.
What else can I do to help raise my ferritin? Should I try to see if I can get a referral to a hematologist for an infusion? The current primary care doctor I have is much better, but I think she’s said she just wants to get me in the 35-45 range (where she says people start to feel better) and that’s it. Any advice?
I really like how a lot of Sterolab’s and Laetitia’s music has an almost spiritual nature to it. For example, in Verona F Transistor, she talks a lot about manifesting essentially and being the creator of your own universe. That we are God basically. I love how in Peng 33, I’m reminded that life is great and magical things are quite literally always happening and around us!
I also really like the themes in the Natural Child, Brakhage, and so many more. Also, I find it funny how you could easily play Ping Pong in an economics class to make sense of certain concepts haha.
But what are your favorite sterolab songs that have deeper meanings? I’d love to hear your answers!
I feel like I’m doing my part, but my efforts aren’t really materializing.
So I 23f have never had a boyfriend and never had sex. I’ve given the dating apps a try, but I’ve decided they aren’t for me due to the excessive amount of ghosting and guys who are only looking to hookup or change their mind about wanting a long term relationship.
Right now I’m really trying to invest in hobbies and going places alone vs. with friends. Right now, I currently live rent free at home with my parents in a smaller town 45 mins from the city, so I have to make an effort to really meet people now that I’m not in college.
Currently I’m playing adult sports in the city once a week, I frequent lots of coffee shops, I plan on taking language lessons and going to language exchanges, and sometimes I’ll go on hikes alone. I’ve introduced myself to some of the guys, try to make small talk, but they don’t really seem receptive to talking, so I back off to not look desperate. That or they’re doing their hobby with their partner.
In the particular state/major city closest to me, I feel like we have the phenomenon of the ratio of women being much higher than the amount of men as well.
Towards the end of the college years, I started asking out the guys that I felt I had good conversations with, were super helpful in class with projects, guys I sat close next to, etc, but they all had girlfriends. I almost thought I had a chance with one guy I asked out and he said I was very cute, but he had a girlfriend.
I feel like I do a good job at taking care of myself and physical appearance. I work out and do sports, I weight 145lbs at 5’6, I eat Whole Foods, I have clear skin, have a makeup and clothing style that suite my features, etc. I get complimented frequently, so idk what I’m doing wrong. Yesterday, I one person said I was gorgeous and another person said I had beautiful features. I feel like I have a solid personality and can talk to anyone really.
So with the added context, do I give up on dating now or later? Do I decenter dating and just put it at the back of my head. I have great friends and family, but I do feel super left out and lonely romantically. I’m trying to change my perspective and trying to frame things as I’m being protected from the wrong guys, but still can’t help feel lonely.
What do I do? What am I doing wrong?
