I matched with someone on bumble bff, and she reached out to me on IG.

She was nice at first and responsive which is a nice change of pace. However over the last few days I've found myself getting more and more irritated when she asks me, multiple times a day, how I'm doing, and when I don't open the message cos I'm out and about, (I'm on holiday, which I've mentioned to her) she had deleted the message and messaged me again the exact same question hours later.

She has asked me at least twice what my favourite season is. I'm trying to be polite and engage in something else, like asking her about her hobbies but it often comes back to, what are you doing.

How would you, politely handle this. And maybe ask her to pull back a bit or how I can engage with her on more interesting questions.

She seems lovely but which is why I don't want to be harsh.

I zone out very badly sometimes, I have taken the dog to shops and walked off and left her there. I didn't even realise she was missing until my brother asked where the hell the dog was.

​

Today, I thought I did the same thing. I spent the last hour running around like a headless chook looking for her, when she didn't come when I called for food.

I ran up to the shops only to find my dog not tied up, ran home, just in case she is at home. Still nowhere to be found. Back up to the shops, turns out they don't have cameras on that side. It's late so none of the other shops around are open. I call my dad crying because I thought I lost the dog again. I walk home.

​

She's there eating her food.

​

I have zero recollection of untying her, taking off her lead. Going through the gate. None of it.

I feel totally broken.

I 22F am friendly with a girl also 22F, we knew each other in highschool but our social circles never really crossed.

We keep seeming to run into each other a lot now though. I used to visit the bookshop she used to work at quite a lot since it was close to my work. But I swapped stores and she got another job. Now she still comes into my work occasionally and we also have a little chat when she comes in.

And today, I was just waiting for an Uber afterwork and she happened to come past, and offered me a lift home. She's quite nice and I think we have a bit in common. But I don't know how to bridge the gap between that and potentially becoming friends.

As in Marinette is the model with the emotionally constipated parent, and Adrien gets the emotionally stable parents?

I am considering studying nursing and am deciding whether it would be worth studying in Sweden or Australia as I am a citizen there and it would be free.

I ideally would like to travel and work through Europe or any other countries. Is this actually realistic? Has anyone got any experience with doing something similar.
