Wow wtf I had an almost identical dating experience…I went on one or two (can’t remember which) awkward, uncomfortable dates realizing I wasn’t into doing it. I felt really bad about it too!! I was probably early 20s at the time. I’m 30 now and have never tried again.
Sometimes I think about trying again with someone from an ace dating website, but no one on there is mutually interested and geographically close enough.
Honestly, it’s a good idea. Isn’t this how some people survived Hurricane Katrina?
As someone living in Florida where people generally are able to predict and prepare for storms like this (even though they still cause devastation), I had absolutely no idea that it was possible for devastation like this to occur from a hurricane all the way in North Carolina. My power didn’t even go out. Did the people living there know this could happen? Was it a surprise??? How is there so much flooding over there???
Definitely the latter. Tmi (but the OP is tmi anyway) but I have never been able to feel sexual pleasure so I have never had an orgasm. Nothing wrong with me to my knowledge. I’m not paralyzed or anything and I never had any traumatic sexual encounters. It just doesn’t work like that for me.
I mean…yes and no. A down payment for a single family home in today’s market is many orders of magnitude more expensive than $20k. But I agree that weddings are too expensive. Just have a small party and use that money elsewhere.
Jeez dude I hope your hand is still functional ok
I feel like I’ve heard that before. Something about it being concerning if the pain suddenly stops because it indicates that it ruptured. I’m not a doctor though, just something I heard so it might not be accurate.
How did you get your fingers chopped off??
I had some sort of bad migraine episode where I couldn’t stop puking. Every time I threw up, the force of doing so would cause a wave of pain that was like someone hit me in the head with a baseball bat.
I’m an American and work in healthcare. “PCP” is a common way to abbreviate “primary care physician”. Generally, it is not said out loud that way, but it is often abbreviated in forms and documentation.
And yes, I giggle when I see it because I’m immature!
Mine is also my real name
Ah yeah ok haha. The generation divides are only so accurate as to life experiences!!
Are you an older millennial? I’m a younger millennial and I’ve never even so much as seen a typewriter in person let alone typed on one. We were taught to type in school though on computers.
I agree that modern smartphones are too big, but that’s what the vast majority of the options are nowadays. I don’t know if you can call it a “gimmick” anymore if literally all of them are like that. It’s getting harder and harder to find a reasonably sized phone. But believe me, if I didn’t have a folding phone, I’d be looking out for small phones like the Zen phone.
I just have my mail set to silent notifications so I still see if I got an email but it doesn’t interrupt anything.
? Just because it’s not practical for everyone doesn’t mean it’s “just a gimmick”.
Modern smartphones are freaking gigantic. Women’s pants pockets are comically tiny. Modern smartphones physically would not fit in the majority of my pants. I bought a Z Flip so I could fit a modern phone in my pants and not be forced to carry around a purse.
The length is important for women’s pants pockets, not necessarily the thickness. It is practical for me. No, it’s not practical for everyone.
Oi, cunt, hope you have a great fucking day!
It’s interesting because one of the reasons I’ve never dated is because 99% of people on the planet want and need sex in a relationship. I don’t want sex so I figured why bother attempting to date. Well I found out about asexual dating sites and have been casually on them for a while now, but it’s tricky because no one has been close enough to meet. And I don’t know what the hell people do in LDRs if it doesn’t revolve around sex. Wishing you the best.
Lemmy is not one centralized entity or corporation, so it is impossible for a first party app to exist. Think of it like a collection of separately run clubs/groups that all communicate with each other over the same medium. But the medium is not run by a single person or company.
However, Jerboa is the app made by Lemmy devs themselves, so I suppose it’s as close to “first party” as you can get.
Personally, I use and prefer Voyager.
What made you decide to start dating if you hadn’t done so prior? If you don’t mind me asking. I’m also 30 and haven’t ever dated really so I was just curious.
