Does anyone live near the MLK exit area on either side of the highway like around Southern view and all around. I live on the opposite side of the highway directly across from southern view. It’s currently almost 1AM. I’ve been trying to sleep since 9PM. I normally go to sleep by 9:30 and I’m about to lose my f**** mind. This construction work on the road is sooooooooo loud and has been constant since 8PM. It has never bothered me and I’ve never been phased by it, but it sounds like an airport is outside my window!! Can anyone else hear it??? It’s actually making me go insane. I can hear it through ear plugs I can feel it shaking my house and on top of the loudness there’s a CONSTANT BEEPING. I feel like I’m coming down from an acid trip or something like I’m about to lose itttttttttttttttt

I’m (26 F) seeking advice from a male perspective? Honestly any perspective!

I got out of a pretty long term relationship about 7 months ago. I’m still struggling a little with the breakup itself as we were together for 6 years. I’m not looking to date or get into a relationship. However, a girl has physical needs…… and after 7 months of not getting any…. I’m in need. I’m not to the point of getting on a dating app looking for a hookup BUT I do though have a huge crush on my neighbor across the street.

We have very similar schedules, I see him every morning when we both walk our dogs, we leave for work at the same time, we get home at the same time etc. I’ve developed this fantasy about him now that I cannot get out of my head. In the 2-3 months of seeing him and crossing paths a couple times a week, we’ve only spoken once and it was extremely brief like barely even counts as an interaction. I would consider myself a very intuitive woman and I feel like there’s this tension between us. He has never approached me or spoken to me though.
Im no supermodel but I’m confident in myself, carry myself well and I know I’m objectively attractive, so I’d like to assume it’s not because of my looks (although I know beauty can be subjective).

I’ve always been the type of woman who doesn’t really approach men, I let them come to me, but again I haven’t even been in a situation like that since I was 20. I like the idea of him approaching me first, but I’m to the point of not caring anymore. Here’s my thing: I keep telling myself that the reason he hasn’t said anything is because he’s not interested, is this true? If he was attracted to me or interested in speaking would he not have said something by now? Should I just say something? I’m not scared of rejection, but I also haven’t dated or flirted or done anything like this since I was 19 and I was a very diff person so it just feels really new to be in a situation like this. What do I say? Do I knock on his door, do I try to catch him when we’re both outside? Do I continue to wait for him to approach me? Do I assume he’s not interested? Truth be told I’m just looking to go get drinks and have a wine and dine type of thing with him, I also don’t know how to be explicit about that…. what if he’s not into that? What do you think I should do, and do you think he would be interested? Sorry that was so long!
