I think I'm aro. I've never been interested in romantic relationships. I grew up in a religious household where it is pretty much instilled in you that to be godly you have to marry and have children. But even as a child, I never thought of marriage. I wasn't the type of girl to dream about dating, being a bride or having a husband.

However I am "attracted" to women. Not sexually but also not romantically??? Idk how to describe it but some women I just feel this extremely strong fascination/admiration towards and I like being around them. I will get extremely shy and flustered like I have a crush. But at the same time, when I get to know them better, that attraction fades almost completely. It's like the opposite of demi-romantic, I think? It's really strange and I've been struggling to label myself. I feel guilty to call myself anything LGBT because I don't know if what I'm experiencing is actually attraction or a messed up attachment issue borne from a sheltered homophobic upbringing.

Anyways, there's a new coworker at my workplace who I've been friendly with since she started. It feels like she's been trying to get close to me ever since I introduced myself and I low-key think she's flirting with me. It's hard to describe through purely text, but it's the way she talks. But also she likes to always sit near where I'm sitting, follow me around, compliment things I do, and other little nuanced stuff. It is honestly starting to make me a little anxious. I like my personal space. I was talking with my close female friend at lunch and she almost sounded jealous, like "who are you??" when she came into the break room. She said she hopes she'll see me around when we're leaving work at the same time.

Idk if this is genuine flirting (because I'm dumb and I don't know what flirting actually is) but this attention makes me feel tense. I feel stupid and like I'm overthinking everything. This is the second time a coworker has been paying me a lot of attention, except last time my close friend was an excellent wingwoman and I was able to ward him away but she no longer works there.

Please tell me what you'd do in this situation. 😭

It seems like fantasy seems to dominate the isometric style. I would really love a non-medieval fantasy game (aka, like BG3, Divinity, Diablo, etc) game for once. Doesn't have to be an RPG but I do love some element of exploration/sandbox and/or open world. Not a big fan of turn-based stuff.

Games that I've enjoyed: Eriksholm, The Precinct, Project Hospital, Project Zomboid. On mobile, I liked Darkness Survival, Lara Croft, Ocean Horn, LDOE.

Some games I'm anticipating or want to try: Hollow Home, Tiny Hero Courier, Witchbrook, HumanitZ, Underrail 2, Liminal Point, Holstin.

Any other recs??

What is your favorite hoodie of all time? One that you find yourself reaching for despite other options? Why do you love it? For me, I have two Fila hoodies that I wish were still produced but I think they were discontinued. I bought them from Nordstrom Rack and they are sooo soft, thick, and nice shape without being baggy or too short (a common issue I find with women's hoodies). Does anyone else have a beloved hoodie they can't stop wearing?

I've driven a few people in my Crosstrek and most, if not all, have said, "Wow, this is a lot nicer than I expected" or "this is my first time in a Subaru, I'm impressed."

Like, what are the expectations toward Subaru? That it's a junker or something??

I was on a Zoom call with my family for Mother's Day on my phone for a couple hours. I just noticed, like an hour later, a phone icon on the bottom of my watch face and when I opened it it said a private number and a hang up button. I have no recollection of getting any kind of notification or ring from that call, and it was still on way after we finished the Zoom call. It also doesn't appear on my phone's call log. Could this be my Zoom call or some weird spam call??

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I've never had a smart watch before so I'm learning new things about it every day

I'm 26, fairly healthy and with no major health problems except rosacea and GERD (no meds). Long story short, my mom had a severe case of endometriosis over a decade or so ago, resulting in a hysterectomy and oophorectomy. I feel that over the years, my periods have slowly become more and more painful, especially in my left side and lower back. This is after my periods were virtually painless when they began. My stomach is always tender and I tend to sit with my legs up (kind of squatting) because it doesn't feel great when I sit with my feet touching the floor. I've never had sex, so I cannot comment on the painful intercourse part but speculum exams are very painful. Right now my belly feels very bloated and heavy. Like there's a water balloon in my lower abdomen and left side and it's so uncomfortable.

How do I get screened for endometriosis? Am I too young to have it?
