Im willing to pay, if your interested please toss me a DM with your pricing and examples. We would meet at misir carsisi where I work at my shop. I speak English and little turkish (still learning)

For extra context im a male 28 years old, american-turkish. We would take pictures around the serkici area. Bonus points if you know a thing or two about style.

​

Thanks.

Title is a bit clickbaity to get people in here to read.

Name context

Me, M28

E, F26

K, F33

​

I met K on bumble around a month and a half ago. She invited me to try korean food and we had a great time. We chat more and I realized she wasnt looking for the same things I was so we chose to be friends, which was fine by me because she was genuinely great to talk to and since im new to the city (istanbul) I have had 0 friends. We exchange WhatsApp and chat more, shes funny, im funny. She says she got addicted to ig reels so we follow each other on ig. We spend the next day sending reels and whatnot.

​

I met E in march and went on 2 dates with her. She didn't feel a connection and that was ok. We followed each other on ig but nobody unfollowed. We haven't interacted at all since.

​

I noticed yesterday that both E and K follow the same person. When I saw that I was like, oh wow what a coincidence and moved on. Later that night K msgs me on ig asking how do I know E. I tell her I went on 2 dates, felt like I fumbled her and laughed then asked how she knew her. E is a friend of a friend to K (as said by her) and I was like wow, small world. K thanks me for the answer and says "anyways 😊" and I dont reply because there wasn't much else to say. To me I was thinking how funny it was and the odds are so low in a city of 20 million to somehow match with 2 people who knew each other especially since im not getting a lot of matches in the first place.

​

30ish minutes pass and I wondered if K followed E so I go to Ks profile and she unfollowed me. At first I thought I was blocked. My heart sank into my chest. I enjoyed talking to K alot. I dm on ig asking if I did anything wrong and she said no. K told me she felt the situation was messy for her. E tried to follow K and K thought it was weird. I asked if there was any drama and even offered to unfollow myself from E since were just strangers atp. K says idk maybe its not connected and would rather have a good night's sleep knowing shes not in any drama. K also told me E is a really sweet person and she ran into her last December.

​

I told her she can rest easy knowing that theres 0 drama between any 3 of us and that I just want to countine being her friend. She thumbs up my last msg last night and thats been it.

​

What exactly happened here? I asked a guy friend and my sister and they said she's jealous but how can someone who told me they want to be friends be jealous of someone I met before them. I am still friends with her? Does the unfollow mean anything or am I overreacting. Do I send a msg like nothings happened? Should I sent a follow request back? I have no idea. I miss having a real friend. I cant believe this happened.

I want to go see the new scary movie in English with a friend. Can anyone tell me which cinemas in the area below trump tower mall (ew) are considered good?

For context, ive not finished the game yet and im 28m. Talking about abuse is difficult for men. It makes you feel weak, guilty, afraid of judgement. Im even in therapy and when I discuss my abuse it seems like little importance even though my therapist is great. Here's what I journalism down about the level.

I was playing the level in DBH where kara stops Todd from abusing Alice and they run off together. When I was playing I was reminded of my own abuse that I still deal with daily. While I wasnt directed abused, I still heard and experienced everything. It was more emotional abuse than physical. Growing up my sister would yell at my mom consistently every day, not for a week, not for a month, not for a year but six years. And I mean everyday. I became conditioned to audio hallucinations. I would hear the wall being hit, or a distant voice yelling throughout the house. I basically stayed up all night every day so I can sleep through the morning fights. I loved school, not because I wanted to learn or had good grades but because when I was at school, I was away from her. Unfortunately, this part of me aas not the only thing that sparked my emotions when playing this level. My mom throughout her whole life has been abused by various different people and men. I had a step dad once who beat her, broke her things, and called her a slave. Ive had roommates we've lived with yell at her and threaten her, call her whore ect.

Playing the level and watching as Todd gets more angry reminded me of all of them. I knew from the other Kara levels that Todd was a bit of a uncontrollable fuse but I didnt expect Alice to be involved. When Todd started to attack Alice and all I could is watch it reminded me of how I never defended my mom. I was always scared, just like Kara was after escaping. When Todd told me to stay still, I was fully immersed. But when I watched him grab the belt and slowly walk upstairs it felt like my soul screaming out to protect Alice. Ive only played this level once. I was able to get into the room and I fought Todd and escaped with Alice downstairs. Something I never had the guts to do irl. I let people belittle, scream, hit my mom because I was afraid of what stepping in could change. I'll be transparent here, I was an undocumented immigrant. Meaning if I had stepped in, defended my mom, beat whoever was beating her i wouldve likely been separated and deported after the police got involved. I left america a year ago.

Just wanted to write my thoughts down. Im enjoying the game a lot. It has strong themes that I relate heavy too.

Anyone in the florya area having issues with turk telekom since friday? My speed went from 30mbs to under 1 and hasn't recovered. I think its a problem on their end but im not sure. Wanted to see if any others were having issues.

Title.

For long story short, I recently started therapy 3 months ago and during that time I went on 2 dates which didn't manage to become anything meaningful. I felt suicidal and she recommended me to get onto anti-depressants which I have now been on for a month and half now.

We've delved into deeper topics lately and I told her today that I was considering going to a brothel on my trip to the netherlands in september, with the end goal of getting experience with women. I'm 28 years old and haven't really gotten too far with women, even ones who chase me due to certain issues in my life. This past year, I've broken out of my mold a bit and have been on 3 dates with three women, 1 unmatch, 1 with two dates, and 1 sorta on-going right now but not really. It's been about 8 years since I tried really "dating" so everything is still sorta new to me. I've been feeling really awful about on the girl I went on two dates with ended, I made mistakes and wished I could go back in time and change things.

I came up with an idea, if I lose my v-card via a brothel, I would no longer feel *as* bad from losing a decent chance at a partner. I'm dating for a LTR but the idea of having an intimate realationship with someone also excited me but in the back of my mind my inexperience felt embarrasing and shameful and probably contributed to my lack of romantic effort due to insecurities. I want to do this, but at the same time I'd be robbing myself of a more meaningful "first time" with someone I truely love versus a stranger I would pay.

My therapist didn't shut down my idea but wants to explore more in our next sessions. I wanted to make this post to ask for advice on my main issue, should I or should I not go to a brothel and get this nonsense over with so I can stop having it effect my attempts at finding a meaningful partner? Or would robbing myself of a special moment make me more sad/anxious/depressed after the fact? I have a few months to make my up mind, or find someone authenically.

Honestly, I was nervous to tell my therapist this. I always assume people think the worse of me and will judge me but I felt a huge weight off my shoulders because I never talk about anything sexual with anyone in my life.

Looked up some threads on this sub about molten blast and saw people using them on rangers/huntress. Is it a good skill for titan? I wanna try forge hammer this league and molten blast while I grind to get the new cold mace and shield unique. Last time I played titan was in 0.1 with Sunder totems so I wanna use the fire skills this time around.
