Some background: I went to an all-girls high school until I was 18, then a co-ed uni. Until I was 18, I was in a long on-and-off situationship with a guy. I explored so much with him, my feelings and hormones were intense, and I was even willing to give up my virginity but got too scared when we were trying.

When I started university, I decided that if it didn't happen with him, I wouldn't do it until marriage. Back then I was open to doing everything except sex, and I did those things when I wanted to. Then I nearly ended up in something with a guy who was really pushy, and it made me want nothing to do with men for a long time. I put everything into my career and school, and even moved abroad with my family to a more conservative city.

This past July, I made out with a guy i randomly met for the first time in two years. It didn't go far, apart from making out on my chest (lol sorry idk), but he was really pushing for more. I stopped it, but it set something off. I'm not constantly thinking about sex. What I feel is closer to desperation to feel wanted and desired. I don't think I've ever felt romantically loved purely for me. I used to be hypersexual, and that was how I got men's attention, and then they'd discover I also have a great personality and then he’d really get to know my but id get aroused and say some crazy stuff which would lead the guy onto that direction. I'd like to think I'm attractive, so maybe I'm just not used to having one guy pursue me at a time unless I'm in a relationship so not receiving direct attention is making me want to explore again. Now I'm thinking about going back to being open to everything but sex, and I don't know if that's smart.

Dating apps feel insanely sexual towards me, and I barely meet anyone to flirt with in real life. I also don't want to commit, but I do but I want someone to commit to me, and I know that's not fair. I just want to focus on me whilst also receiving that consistent extra love and support.

Everyone around me is either very conservative or inexperienced, so I can't talk about this with them without feeling judged. I'm also scared that if I do anything with someone, word will get out and I'll be labeled a whore forever.

So my questions are: is going back to "everything but sex" realistic when the guys I've met keep pushing past that line? How do I stoo having contradictory desires? one day I want it and then when I’m close to having it I shut it down.

Hey everyone! Does anyone in Edmonton know of an affordable accountant? I'm a new one-person corp (incorporated through Ownr) and I need to file my first Annual tax T2 soon.

My profit is under $15K after expenses and paying myself, so I'm looking for someone who works with small, early-stage corps. I went for a consultation with CPA Pros. They charged $200 just for the initial info session and quoted around $2K to file, which is more than I can afford at this stage.

I've also looked at Trehan & Co. They charge about $625 to file corp taxes and Their Google reviews are great, but I've seen comments on Reddit and elsewhere saying some of the reviews may be inflated (family members, etc.). I don't want to work with anyone shady, so I'd love to hear from people who have actually used them or can recommend someone else.

Any recommendations, or tips on would be really appreciated. Thank you!
