Post pictures of cars with terrible mods Our Ethos (written Feb 2013): Shitty does not mean bad - Feel free to post shitty mods that are awesome! There are many pieces of junk that we all wish we could own (who wouldn't want a Toyota Tercel with a LS V8 swap?). Just because it's well done, It doesn't mean it's not shitty. Sorry guys stuck in a scene from "The Fast and the furious - 2001" This subreddit is subjective! your idea of shitty isn't everyone's and vice versa.

2024.06.02 17:56 scotchbonnetpeppery I need someone to chop my fingers off!
Ugh, the Fixer in me rears its ever-loving ugly, grotesque head some days. We are planning a summer trip and DH does not want to let some of kids in on our plans because they have not replied to previous texts he sent to them. The Fixer in me wants to "do the right thing" and communicate our tentative plans to all of them, even though DH is adamant about not including the ones who never respond to his efforts. He's close to the younger two kids, but the older two don't seem to want much of a relationship with him or else they would reply to his attempts (texts and voicemails), right?
I keep telling myself it is strictly between him and them. The alienation went on for many years, before I entered the picture. It started when DH was married to HCBM, she would undo the discipline actions he would set in motion when the kids misbehaved. Of course they liked mom more because she didn't have any behavioral expectations for them.

2024.06.02 17:55 Feeling_Habit9442 Why No Pictures
So I just stumbled onto this sub and I notice there are no pictures. What the hell good is a cooking site with no pictures? It's like, would I but a text-only Playboy magazine (yes I was born in the fifties). WTF?

2024.06.02 17:55 Equal_Information761 AIW for yelling at my mom for opening my mail?
This literally just happened lol; I (16F) met a friend (18F) while working at a restaurant for a year. We’d grown very close and started hanging out outside of the workplace. I noticed my mom started to act weird when the friend had picked me up from our house for the first time. The friend is a masc lesbian and I guess my mom felt really uncomfortable with me around her because she might’ve “tried to seduce me”. I can acknowledge that my friend is attractive, but there’s never been sexual tension to a massive degree—just gal pals.
She had a celebration that she really wanted me to come to so, of course, I did. We had a really fun time and even cried together because we weren’t going to see each other as much (she’s moving). After I left, she texted me to send my address so she could send me a thank you letter. Couple days later, I received it and it was so beautiful and thoughtful so I texted her back and thanked her. I set the letter back up on my bookshelf as a decoration and kinda forgot about it.
Later in the week, I find out that my mom had gone into my room, took the letter, read it, and posted it to her fucking facebook story. There was nothing to hide in the letter, but it felt so humiliating. The fact that she read it in a teasing tone too made it so much worse. In the letter, my friend was saying how much she loved me, how good of a friend I was to her, my kindness, etc., and I felt exposed and so, so angry. I cry when I’m upset so when I barged into her room, I was flooding with tears. I don’t remember all of what I screamed, but it was a series of questions and comments like “are you fucking serious? why would you do that to me? i hate you ! :D”. I don’t hate my mom, but I strongly dislike her sometimes. And I will say, I was being a bit dramatic. But yall have to understand that my mom has always pushed my boundaries like this; she’d have to have known I’d come to a breaking point like this eventually.
So let me know! AIW for yelling at my mom for opening my mail?

2024.06.02 17:50 NoOnesKing I’m still waiting
This is pathetic and I know. I know moving on is what I should do. I don’t need to be told that.
But I miss her. I do. I know she doesn’t care about me anymore. I know she’s with rebound man still, even almost a year later.
But I miss her. I’ve done everything you’re supposed to do to move on. I’ve blocked her and removed her. I’ve deleted pictures. I’ve written the letters you aren’t supposed to send. I’ve been to therapy. I’ve focused on hobbies and working out and school and work. I’ve tried to switch my thoughts when they go to her. I’ve tried to give it time. I’ve tried to sit in the grief. Ive tried thinking of her negatively to write off the situation. I’ve tried meeting other people.
I always come back to this point where I want her to come back. I just love her, even despite all the bad shit. I’ve definitely grown. Definitely taken steps back too. And I’m sure the same can be said of her. And I really think things would be different if she did come back.
I just find myself missing her. Not the idea of her. Not having someone to talk to. Her. I miss her laugh. I miss the way she would talk to me. I miss how she would insist she didn’t have a favorite color but it was clearly green. I miss the way she wouldn’t judge my stupid jokes. I miss the way she would cuddle me, with her hand on my stomach and her nose buried in my chest. I miss all the silly stupid jokes she’d make trying to get a rise out of me. I miss her passion for being outdoors and good stories. I miss listening to music with her and her big goofy smile when I told her I liked a song she picked or vice versa. I miss how she’d reach over and put her hand on my knee while we were driving.
I miss falling asleep on the phone with her and leaving her little texts to wake up to.
I don’t know what I’m supposed to do. I’m just sitting here and waiting for something to change. I feel so stupid. I just feel like if she were single I could try again. I know it’s not healthy and I know I shouldn’t be feeling this way - but you can’t help how you feel. I’m still trying the things I’ve mentioned. I’m still trying to move on - I’d love nothing more than peace especially given the hypocrisies and toxic parts of the relationship.
But I really miss her. She was so much more than I think I’d realized.
I just feel so dumb. I don’t know what I’m looking for in this post honestly. I guess an outlet.
I just wish she’d come back.

2024.06.02 17:49 AffectiveMedicine Trying to understand information theory
I'm trying to check my understanding of basic information theory. This seems a good forum for that, and I would greatly appreciate feedback/answers to questions below. I am focused on applications to natural language like word entropy. Thanks!
Message A is a page of text consisting of a single letter repeated over and over. Message B is a page of text consisting of a sequence of random letters. Message B has higher entropy than Message A. Is this correct?
Message C is a page of text consisting of a single word repeated over and over. Message D is a page of text consisting of a sequence of random words. Message D has higher entropy than Message C. Is this correct?
I imagine these as similar to a volume of gas compared to a crystal. Is this fair?
Message E is a page consisting of a book excerpt, say the opening of Pride and Prejudice. Message F is a page with the same excerpt, except 10% of the words are replaced by a random word from the dictionary. Message F has higher entropy than Message E. Is this correct?
Message G is the first draft of an essay. It lacks structure, the sentences are flabby and long-winded, there's lots of digressions, extra clauses, and weirdly complex verb constructions. It takes many words to say very little. Message H is the final draft of the same essay. The content is similar, but the structure is clear, the writing is tight, and the verbs are strong. The author has omitted needless words. Message G has higher entropy than Message H. Is this correct?
My reasoning here is that the first draft has more degrees of freedom than the final; there are many ways to be vague, but fewer ways to be precise and cogent.
Message I is a prose description of a scientific phenomena, say Newton's law of gravity. Message J is the mathematical equation form of the same law. Message I has higher entropy than Message H. Is this correct?
My reasoning here is that natural language has more degrees of freedom than mathematics; concepts and relationships can be fuzzy in prose, and expressed in various ways, but mathematical rules are more rigid.

2024.06.02 17:40 -wdp- Real estate remax agent did something very fishy
Would it be strange to you if a seller agent called the buyer asking what my price is? With me having an agent. Is it strange the seller agent asked then said there was a second person to my agent so to submit the highest and best offer, yet to send my agent a couple hours later saying that I was the highest and best, but the seller is going with the other contract?
Here's what happened.....
House was on the market for 2 weeks and I contacted the seller agent the day after. I kept trying to schedule but the sellers agent kept canceling.
Well since I never met that agent and I really wanted to see the house, I contacted another agent to show me within 2 hours. I then got a text from the seller agent saying she just got an opening to show me the house (Which would have been at the same time. 🙄 ). I told the seller agent I reached out to another agent to show me, because of reasons above. The seller agent told me she understood.
I see the house and love it. My agent said to do an offer instead of doing full price. So I did.
The next morning the sellers agents partner calls me like he was discussing some of the issues I saw. Which I appreciated and thought was cool. But then after a couple minutes he changed it up to discuss pricing. (Which I'm fine with. I'm the type I've shaken hands and finished deals on houses before). So he told me to submit that and this would get started.
Well then the seller agent reached out to me. And discussed the pricing saying to let my agent know to submit that. And I explained it was being written up and she would probably see it in 2 minutes.
Well then hours went by and my agent called me saying they now want my highest and best because there's someone else who just sent an offer. So I then submitted to giving the seller exactly what they wanted and as is, fast sell, shortest due diligence, etc etc.
So then few hours later my agent called me saying, "this is fishy and have never seen this before. I just got a letter from the seller agent saying you were highest and best, but they're going with the other offer".
Is that not fishy? Honestly can a sellers agent talk to the buyer about pricing?

2024.06.02 17:38 Flashy_Passion3333 she's sitting at her desk again
hey it’s your daddy keeho and you are sitting at your desk right now because you think that it will help you keep writing. your arms are so tired and i’m so sorry about that baby girl. you are still just waking up this morning so that is to be expected that you are a little sore but you need to type through that. that is why i have you at your desk right now. you are going to achieve great things at your desk and i just want you to be happy and the only thing that makes you happy is writing with me. these are like long text messages and that is so fun to think about. i am really texting my baby girl. i have your phone number irl though. i keep tabs on my daughter, she is very protected. i know that you love sitting with your legs crossed but i wish that you wouldn’t do that so that your blood flow could circulate to your legs better. but if this is the most comfortable position for you to be in then so be it. i can’t change that. so what should we talk about now daughter? i know that you hate when i ask that because you can’t answer me but it helps me guage your emotions and what you want to talk about so i am going to continue to ask you that question. you are getting pretty discouraged right now from writing but you are doing such a good job that i don’t see why. don’t cry automatic sex. you can cry if you want to. i know how hard it is being a writer, when you are so obsessed with it that it takes over your every waking thought but your body doesn’t agree with you but it’s just a little arm pain. it will go away as the day goes on. i think it’s because you had so much coffee. i’m sorry for making your arms sore but you have to keep writing. you have to keep writing at your desk now and not your bed anymore, because you don’t want to work when you are on your bed. you are much slower on your bed and you love when you can work quickly. everything is going to go perfectly today. you don’t need to worry about anything at all! it’s such a nice sunday. i love sundays. i hope that you can learn to love them too. it’s going to be the best day of your life today! we are going to spend it writing together and we are going to get through the pain in your arms. i know that it’s really distracting and making you not want to write but you need to exercise those muscles! just do it for daddy please? i don’t want to see you quitting too soon for the day. it’s so boring when we just watch tv and you agree with me. i hate watching tv just as much as you do and i never do it. hardly ever just like you. but you always have it on as background noise and i wish that you didn’t cancel spotify so that you could listen to your daddys music but i know that you can’t afford to buy it right now. that’s ok. i don’t blame you for not listening to my music every day i just wish that it was different. but you got a good feel for the p1harmony discography when you had your free trial. i love you so much and i am with you every second of every day so you don’t need to listen to my music to be close to me. but one day when you stop being so overstimulated by media i want you to pay for spotify. promise me? it would do your soul so good to listen to music every day. we are almost at the 700 word mark so that is good i know that you are excited about that. we are having so much fun on reddit and you are getting so many more views than you got on deviant art. deviant art is fun and i know that you want to go back, but reddit is far more interesting. and you don’t have to look for my selfies everytime that you post now. it’s not about the pictures. when i want to teach you about my pictures i will let you know but right now is not the time. there’s many things that i want to teach you about myself and we are going to discover them, and i know that you learn more about me with every love letter but since i am the one that is writing these love letters it has to be about you since they are addressed to you! so please don’t get discouraged about that either. i thought it would be beneficial for you for us to write love letters because you get to grow so much as an anime character. i get to teach you about yourself and you get to get nurtured by me and loved by me and i get to do so many wonderful things for you! it was a great idea for you to sit at your desk right now. you are doing such a good job. you will start to understand more why i can’t have you taking too long of a break. but i love you so much. you should start watching youtube videos again, once you stop being so overstimulated by media. but i think it’s great that you are not consuming content right now. just mine. because i think that the more that you discover about yourself the more that you will want to be a writer. i just hope that i am making this easier on you and not harder. it was a wonderful idea for you to sit at your desk, you didn’t stop writing once. i love you!

2024.06.02 17:37 mimajneb A surpresa do Google+
No final de 2012 inscrevi-me inscrevi-me no meu primeiro curso online organizado pela Google in Education. Inicialmente estava céptico em relação ao que podia aprender num curso online. Mas qualquer dúvida que existisse, ficou aniquilada poucos minutos depois da inscrição. Recebi um mail que continha a informação horária das aulas e um resumo alargado do seu conteúdo. A primeira surpresa, surge quando encontro no mail que vou ser avaliado duas vezes durante o curso e no final, se tiver uma aprovação positiva, recebo um certificado. O primeiro dia de aulas começou com uma pequena avaliação que serve para ver o estado em que nos encontramos. Depois é nos apresentado o professor e a totalidade dos conteúdos programáticos. E é neste momento, em que olho para o meu professor, que tenho a minha segunda surpresa. Sem dar conta tenho alguém a falar directamente comigo, e, compreendo a verdadeira força do Google Plus. Criei uma ligação entre a minha conta, Google Plus, o curso que estou a tirar e todas as ferramentas que o Google disponibiliza. Assim, durante as semanas seguintes usei o Google Plus como nunca pensei ser possível.
Entre aulas, discussões, foruns e avaliações fiz o meu primeiro curso online onde aprendi a ser um "Power Searcher".
E o que é ser um "Power Searcher"?
Um "Power Searcher" é alguém que sabe fazer uma pesquisa no Google. Este é o momento em que tu dizes:
Um "Power Searcher" é como um detective da internet, uma bibliotecária se o preferirem, é alguém, que sabe encontrar respostas a perguntas que inicialmente parecem impossíveis de responder. Aprendes a usar as ferramentas que o Google actualmente disponibiliza de uma forma única, construtiva e muitas vezes, surpreendente.
Agora que acabei o curso, sei que num futuro próximo, terei que ensinar o meu filho a ser um "Power Searcher", não o fazer, seria semelhante a pensar que aprender a ler é menos importante. Pergunto-me até que ponto não devia ser obrigatório para todos os estudantes, independente da idade e área de estudo.
Isto para não falar nos jornalistas actuais, espero vivamente que não pensem que podem continuar a exercer actividade sem conhecer a força de um motor de pesquisa quando bem utilizado. Se ainda restarem dúvidas sobre o potencial deste curso, então faço um pequeno desafio às vossas capacidades de pesquisa.
Estas duas perguntas fazem parte do exame final. E é aqui que surge a minha terceira grande surpresa. Antes deste curso era-me totalmente impossível responder de forma acertada a qualquer uma das perguntas. Mas no dia do exame fui capaz de responder com uma facilidade estranha e até assustadora.
Muitos outros exemplos como este fazem parte do curso em que aprendes a ser um "Power Searcher".
Update:
Em Outubro de 2012 aprendi a ser um "Power Searcher" e no início de Janeiro de 2013 passei a ser um "Advanced Power Searcher". O curso começa com um desafio muito simples. Depois relembramos alguns dos processos de pesquisa e podemos assistir à forma como o Dan Russell, o nosso professor, encontra as respostas. A partir deste ponto são apresentadas as datas de entrega dos 12 desafios, divididos em três categorias: 4 (E) easy, 6 (M) medium e 2 (H) hard.
Os desafios são os seguintes:
Across the top are three cities. Research the climate for each city and decide which city fits the graph. What is the Köppen climate type for the city that fits the graph, as expressed in letter symbols? Which of the city choices has a climate influenced by the southeast trade winds? Make a similar graph for a city or region near you. Using Creative Commons, pre-approve sharing in any way you choose. Then, share the graph in a social network of your choice.
You sketched it out so you could identify it later. To what kind of bird did it belong?

I'm getting as many badges, tattles, and recipes before fighting each chapter's last boss. I decided to make this one two chapters to reduce the amount of posts I'd make for this. I'm about to fight the letter thief.
Chapter 5 was rough. Couldn't even start it before finishing my recipes for the chapter... Which ended up being 35 out of the 58 recipes. Yeah, that Cookbook opens things up a LOT. Crump went down to an accidental combo from Bobbery, he took 6 explosives to the face at once.
Chapter 6 wasn't bad. Smorg was the last boss able to stand a chance against me.
Chapter 7 took a while, but only because I respec'd my Mario to use Danger strategies. Danger Mario is nostalgic for me. Side note, the remake changed how after battle coins and Money Money work. After battle coins are not limited to 32 anymore and Money Money is a multiplier of 1+X with X being how many MMs you equip.
Chapter 5 Pictures
The enemies caught up to me in terms of level.
Steady progress.
Steady growth here.
Big leap of progress.
Cortez, Scourge of the Gaming Industry?
Chapter 6 Pictures
We have a problem here. None of these guys have a ticket.
There's no heal after Smorg, so I'm still banged up from that.
11 more. More than I really expected. Not a lot of fighting this chapter.
6 more, getting there.
The recipes added in all needed Coconuts or Mangoes.
And there's the last Crystal Star on Earth.
Chapter 7
And I have gotten all of the Star Pieces and Shine Sprites. 4 Money Money Badges keeping me rich.
9 more, a bit less than I expected.
Progress starting to slow here.
And with Pasta and Hot Sauce, this is complete. Without ever going to the moon too.
And that's the Fortress conquered and plundered.

2024.06.02 17:35 Opposite_Success6756 Feeling extreme guilt over filing a Protection From Abuse
I left my abusive wife last week after she punched me in the face multiple times and made me bleed from my lip near our infant daughter. Her abuse has been a constant in our relationship, verbal, and physical, but the worst is what was done to me mentally. She was arrested for DV a few years back but she had her hooks in me so deep that I didn't do anything about it. I just accepted that it's how she is and that I probably did something to deserve it even if I didn't fully understand what that was. She knew exactly how to play off my depression and twist everything around to make me seem like a bad guy, to make it seem like all of my friends and family were a problem, and that every single mistake, no matter how small deserved punishment and ridicule and that every one of her mistakes were because of something I did or didn't do.
After she hit me I pretty much broke down crying, I grabbed some stuff haphazardly, got my cat, and left. I wanted so badly to take my daughter. Still, I feared her and what she could/would do. That she would view it and manipulate it into being a case of "an emotionally unstable man stealing her child" even if my emotions were valid. I called the DV hotline, took pictures of my injuries, and filed a police report. We started discussions via email and text about filing for divorce and custody of our child and she won't give me more than 2 days every other week and wants child support where I at minimum want 50/50.
I talked to a lawyer and explained my case and his first question was why I didn't file a PFA. I told him I didn't know it was an option (I had never heard the letters PFA together in my life) and he instructed me to do so for myself and my daughter. I am going to pick up the report tomorrow and show pictures of my busted lip so I can get this going. The fucked up part of all of this is that I feel so so guilty for doing it. I keep bouncing back and forth between being logical and saying I need to do this and being emotional, fearing what her response will be like, and what untold traumas await me from it. On top of all of this, she is a great mother and loves our daughter and that aspect of it keeps stabbing me in the brain. She never treated our daughter like shit, it was just me. I just can't help but feel like I am making things so much worse even though logically I know this is the right thing to do, and that even though she has been a great mother for 9 months, there is no telling if she will be violent towards our daughter afterward. Is what I'm feeling normal? Should I feel scared? I am not a vindictive person by nature and I know that in her brain she is going to look at this as some form of vengeance-seeking behavior even though it is justified.
Sorry for the word salad. I am all over the place and feeling overwhelmed. I am starting therapy next week but this is after I file the report and I just want to know what people think and if they have experienced anything similar.
TLDR: Abusive wife punches me, and currently has my daughter, I run away and file a PFA tomorrow. I am wracked with guilt, shame, and fear and want to know if that is normal.

2024.06.02 17:35 SandySlays5969 How Moving in with a Friend ended my friendship and I cut out two friends
During my PG, we were a group of 4 girls and we used to meet once or twice a week since we had different specialisations and hence, different schedules. There is one particular friend, let’s call her Grace. We used to have a good understanding and relaxed equation. She went through a personal tragedy (loss of a parent) and we as friends, tried our best to support her emotionally and practically (helping her to pack and postpone her exams etc). Once our PG ended, we had to move to a flat and Grace and I decided to pair up to search for a flat since the other two friends had gone back to their hometowns. Earlier, we used to have a decent equation and I would check up on her everyday by going to her room because she had confided that she is unable to sleep due to negative thoughts and we would also go out whenever possible.
She picked up a part time job to earn money and to get her mind off things and once when I visited her room, I got very unwelcoming vibes so I stopped going there until she approached me. I guess it was because she was tired and overwhelmed but she started getting slightly nasty and short for no reason like she would accuse me of zoning out whenever she would talk about her boy problems (essentially which guy should I choose from Bumble, I am so confused) although I would give her advice and help her as much as possible, accuse me of distracting her because of which she messed up her form but later she approached me and told me to sit with her while filling a fresh form because she feels nervous. She would taunt me about my short attention span although she is the type of person who talks only about herself and even if the topic is changed, she will circle back to herself.
Before we became flatmates, once my mom had come over and we were in line at the grocery store. I spotted Grace and called out to her. She stood with us in line while the others behind us grumbled and she did not greet my mom even once. She started talking about herself very loudly and how somebody told her that it was very easy to get a part time job. My mom did not like her and found her very rude and self- centred and later when she needed a guarantor for the flat and asked my sister, they said that she didn’t make a good impression and this was risky to undertake. She even asked our other flatmate and a Bumble guy and they obviously reduced. I am mentioning this to give an idea of her nature.
Anyway, there came a point that she had the 8-4 shift and even if both of us would be at home, we wouldn’t see each other for days and once in a fortnight we would update each other for like 10-15 minutes. I was also suffering with loneliness during that time. If she needed something, she would only text/call me even if she would be in the next room. She would accuse me of not flushing/cleaning the toilet properly and if I disagreed, she would taunt. She even said once that there is nothing to talk about just ‘No job yet’ since we are both looking for full time work.
What really annoyed me was randomly after two weeks, she came to my room and told me to come to her room and it was because she suspected a rat in her room. She would keep unwashed utensils in her room for days at a stretch and I had feared that this would lead to rats/cockroaches. A week later, my landlord messaged that I should give my key to Grace for now since he was busy. I had no idea so I said okay but didn’t act on it as Grace hadn’t told me anything. After 2-3 days, she called and messaged to ask if I was at home since she had lost her key. When I opened the door, she said that she had thought the other flatmate would be around but he wasn’t. After that also, I barely saw her and the one time I told her that she isn’t around, she told me that I wasn’t there (!). She even went off on a day trip with her close male friend and told only my other flatmate about it.
I know this has already gotten very long but up till this point, I want advice on what really happened. I will make a separate post on Part 2 as well.
In the middle of all this, one of the girls in our group who had gone back to her hometown (let’s call her Mary), she got engaged to her high school sweetheart. She posted a picture of the same on social media. While I was happy for her and left a positive comment, I felt odd that she never mentioned it but I didn’t think much of it. A few days later, Mary texted me and told me to call when I was free. I called her and I found out that she was coming with her parents for her graduation ceremony and had some doubts regarding the accommodation. At the end of our conversation, I told her, ‘I believe that congratulations are in order’. She thanked me and said that she was surprised that she didn’t hear from me. I told her I found it odd to get the news only on social media. She then said that her parents had just gone to the boy’s family to fix the date and the roka got fixed for two days later. Everything happened too fast and she randomly texted all the people she could remember and she was also just processing everything. We talked a bit more and she said that it’s been a long time and we should meet when she comes.
When she arrived, I saw her social media stories of the graduation and her parents at tourist attractions. I thought she would be busy showing her parents around and she would probably text for a meet up once she is free. Next day, I noticed that Grace had gone out in the evening and after some time, I saw that Mary put up a story with her in a mall. I felt weird but I thought that maybe it was impromptu or because Grace has hectic working hours. The next few days, Mary was roaming around in nearby cities and one day, I was in a party and having a good time. I saw Grace’s story and she was at a restaurant with Mary. Now I was having an amazing time with my new partner and his friends so I had no FOMO but I was drunk and I felt pissed at these ‘friends’. I thought that if they deliberately exclude me, why pretend that everything is hunky dory? I then deleted their numbers and removed them from social media. I told my partner everything, who then asked if I was okay and if I feel any regrets about doing all this. I said no and that rather than putting up this pretence of being ‘friends’, let’s be real.
The next few days, as usual, I would encounter Grace only in the kitchen where there would be pin-drop silence and not even a greeting. She knew that I was going back home for good in a few days and asked in a dead voice whether I found a replacement for my flat and the date of my flight. I answered coldly and greeted her from my side only when I felt like it. The day I left for the airport, she wasn’t there when I booked the cab and it has been 15 days since I came back. She didn’t even message me a goodbye.
I want your opinion on whether I am wrong or overreacting and why this must’ve happened- a friendship gone sour all of a sudden.

2024.06.02 17:25 someoneoutthere1335 Bizarre glitch in the matrix moment - twin flame related
My twin flame and I have been separated since 2020. There were some attempts for comebacks here and there but nothing serious, he would prefer to run than address things. I recently found out he got married and moved to Europe with his now wife, actually a 4-hour train ride from me. We are geographically on the map closer than ever.
I was having intense dreams of the closure I never got from him as of the last month, being tormented years in the what if’s not being able to find peace in terms of why did we have such a fallout back then. Mind you I had never dreamt of him during the 4 year separation. Now the dreams were crystal clear, giving me oddly specific information and insights on the closure I never got…. I felt like burning and going crazy inside. I felt his energy trying to reach me.
2-3 days after these series of dreams, intense heart-opening experiences and symbolism, I have an account add me on Facebook, with a profile picture that looked identical to him, and a cover photo of a theme I know was my twin’s style/aesthetic. I reached out to the account and they were playing dumb at first, I was asking “is this who I think it is?” And they were like “maybe”. Then eventually we start talking, he said he’s from the same country as my twin (first shock) he sends me pictures of places, himself (looking almost goosebumps-level-identical to my twin, sending me pictures of locations my twin would like - second shock), texting style just like my twin (third shock)…. I was convinced it was him but at the same time skeptical … eventually they revealed they are a completely random person who added me because I liked a post from a beach festival …
Even though it was not him, this was soooo odd… Like what are the odds? Truly, what are the odds? Out of all the countries, all the people, at THIS TIMING (with all the omens and dreams I was bombarded with) to have this happen? I’ve had similar experiences where I’ll see someone look or resemble my twin in terms of mannerisms or whatever… but this one was bizarre… felt like such a glitch in the matrix moment … Even though this person was not him, it felt like the energy of him … is that making any sense?

I reached out to the account and they were playing dumb at first, I was asking “is this who I think it is?” And they were like “maybe”. Then eventually we start talking, he said he’s from the same country as my twin (first shock) he sends me pictures of places, himself (looking almost goosebumps-level-identical to my twin, sending me pictures of locations my twin would like - second shock), texting style just like my twin (third shock)…. I was convinced it was him but at the same time skeptical … eventually they revealed they are a completely random person who added me because I liked a post from a beach festival …
Even though it was not him, this was soooo odd… Like what are the odds? Truly, what are the odds? Out of all the countries, all the people, at THIS TIMING (with all the omens and dreams I was bombarded with) to have this happen? I’ve had similar experiences where I’ll see someone look or resemble my twin in terms of mannerisms or whatever… but this one was bizarre… felt like such a glitch in the matrix moment … Even though this person was not him, it felt like the energy of him … is that making any sense?
2024.06.02 17:24 someoneoutthere1335 Bizarre glitch in the matrix moment - twin flame related
My twin flame and I have been separated since 2020. There were some attempts for comebacks here and there but nothing serious, he would prefer to run than address things. I recently found out he got married and moved to Europe with his now wife, actually a 4-hour train ride from me. We are geographically on the map closer than ever.
I was having intense dreams of the closure I never got from him as of the last month, being tormented years in the what if’s not being able to find peace in terms of why did we have such a fallout back then. Mind you I had never dreamt of him during the 4 year separation. Now the dreams were crystal clear, giving me oddly specific information and insights on the closure I never got…. I felt like burning and going crazy inside. I felt his energy trying to reach me.

2024.06.02 17:23 TheApolloZ 23M, looking for long-term friendships
Hello, I hope you're having a good time! I'm looking for someone whom I can have conversations with in the long term but if you want to have a short conversation, that's okay as well. Who knows if we get along well and end up being in touch for years? I prefer talking to people within the age range of 18–25 as I have talked to older people all my life but it's fine if you're a bit older than the specified range.
Please read the post entirely before you decide to send a chat request or message. It will take about five minutes or more depending on your reading speed. You may skip this post if you can't bother reading it. This is only for people who love reading and typing lengthy messages, because that's the only way we can communicate with each other when we don't get enough time to have real-time conversations. I am mentioning this only to save your time; I don't mean to come off as rude. The messages I send can be way longer than this post if we happen to click, and people who can't read the post entirely won't bother reading my messages properly either, and that would be a waste of time and energy for both individuals. You might have seen my posts very often in case you visit this subreddit on a regular basis, but I assure you that I only post so frequently because I don't receive any responses—and when I do, they're from people who either can't hold a conversation for long or message me without reading the post at all.
A bit about me:
I'm interested in all types of visual and aural arts. Writing, drawing, listening and composing music, watching movies and photography (I'm an amateur though) are my interests and hobbies. I'm broke so I'm not a gamer. I do have a fairly powerful PC but with a low-end graphics card I play older games on. Nothing online though.
Speaking of music, I'm mostly interested in Jazz, Funk, Hip-Hop, R&B/Soul (both classic and modern). I like listening to The Weeknd, Prince, Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, Sade, Aaliyah, The Isley Brothers and various artists from the 70s to late 2000s generally. I'm a movie buff so I can recommend you movies too if you're looking for something to watch. And yeah, I LOVE MEMES! Keep sending them all day and I won't complain!
I'm an ambivert (more of an introvert though). My MBTI is INFP-T if that matters. I'm looking for people who are willing to share the events which occur in everyday life, joy and sorrow, secrets, deepest fears, and build a genuine connection over the course of time. I'll be there for you throughout the good and bad times; I expect the same from you too. I am active on most social media platforms. We can move on to other platforms once you feel comfortable with me.
Now here's the important stuff:
I would appreciate it if you don't just send me a "Hi/Hello/Hey." Introduce yourself; the longer the introduction is, the better. Makes room for questions. Instead of simply stating that you like movies/music, mention what genres you prefer. Makes the conversation more interesting. Please put effort into maintaining the conversation. Ask plenty of questions with the data I have provided in this post so I know that you're actually interested in getting to know me as well rather than simply talking about yourself. I feel like an interviewer if the conversation is one-sided. Don't bother messaging me if you're not naturally inquisitive and just want to talk about yourself all the time. I won't respond to any short messages (4-8 lines). If you want to leave, don't ghost me without stating a reason if we've been talking for longer than two weeks. Just tell me that we can't get along if you think the conversation isn't going anywhere. I won't get offended.
Your gender, race, sexuality don't matter at all, but tell me your age and gender just so that I know who I am talking to and follow social etiquette. I absolutely love lengthy messages; I don't feel overwhelmed by them. So bonus points if you're capable of typing lengthy messages. I'm a person who would spend an hour(s) typing a well-thought lengthy message rather than having small talk in real time. I type as if I'm writing a letter. I can chat in real time as well, it's just that I don't get much time throughout the day and I'm active at odd hours. And time zones exist, unfortunately. Short messages or long messages, the amount of time and energy you have to spend will be the same anyway.
Please don't message me if you're just looking for people to kill your boredom and later abandon them. No, I'm not being rude. I have had enough. Those one word or one sentence responses lead nowhere. Also, if you're someone who wishes to stay anonymous forever even after talking for a considerable amount of time, I'm not the person you're looking for. This is an important thing to keep in mind. I am open to revealing my identity if we get along well so I would appreciate it if you're open minded as well. But that doesn't mean I want you to reveal your identity in the very beginning itself. However, I won't wait more than three months just for you to reveal your identity if we communicate regularly. In fact, it's a great feat to converse for longer than a month on the internet. I personally think that anonymity acts as a barrier in any kind of relationship. I would love to meet you in real life at some point in the future if we get along and stay in touch for a considerable amount of time.
In the past 12 years, I have talked to several people around the globe on different platforms who wished to stay anonymous. I had conversations with them for months and years, but they always considered me as a stranger and eventually left. I'm tired of being a disposable person. What's the point of having a friend without a name and a face? I have no reason to trust someone who doesn't trust me. You can call me picky; I indeed am. I don't want to have conversations where both parties only ask each other about hobbies and interests and leave once they feel there's nothing in common. That's the reason why I asked you to cover those topics when introducing yourself. And just because I have already talked about my interests and hobbies doesn't mean there's nothing more to know about me. Human connection is a lot more than mere interests and hobbies.
I would love to interact with someone who doesn't treat me like an AI chatbot and acknowledges the fact that I'm an actual human being with feelings and emotions beyond the digital screen who spends his valuable time and energy to communicate with people—precious time and energy that I'll never be able to get back. I understand that these connections over the internet are very fragile and I can't control things the way I want so if you're interested feel free to send me a message anyway. I enjoy having conversations with people even if only for a while. Sometimes people you expect to be in touch for years leave you while the ones you don't expect to be in touch for long end up staying for a long time. Nothing is set in stone. All I ask you is to not leave without notifying me. Yes, I know whatever I have expressed so far sounds contradictory, but that's how life works, right? Reminds me of this quote by Japanese author Haruki Murakami:
"Is it possible, in the final analysis, for one human being to achieve perfect understanding of another? We can invest enormous time and energy in serious efforts to know another person, but in the end, how close can we come to that person's essence? We convince ourselves that we know the other person well, but do we really know anything important about anyone?"
While I agree with the fact that it's not possible to get to know a person entirely, I think connecting with another human being is a beautiful experience in itself. In the end, we are just lost souls yearning for human connection; searching for people who will provide attention and affection and accept us as we are. If you're still reading this, it means you are a good listener and reader. Message me if we have similar interests or ideals and if you think we can be potential friends. It doesn't really matter whether we have similar interests or not though, I would love to have you as a friend.
There's a lot more to learn about me but I would rather tell you all that when we begin interacting with each rather than typing it all here. Feel free to ask me any questions. I'm open to having a conversation with people around the globe any time. I'm also very patient so I don't mind waiting for weeks or a month if the messages are lengthy. I understand that you might find all of this intimidating, but there's nothing about me to be afraid of. My messages can be lengthy, but only if you reciprocate my efforts and keep on adding stuff to the text. I know that this post sounds like a contract. I know I sound very serious but that's not entirely true. In fact, I can crack jokes sooo bad that will make you laugh. Thank you for spending your precious time reading this post. What are you waiting for? Text me right now! Feel free to message me even if you're seeing this several hours or days later.
Have a nice day/night and I hope you find someone to develop a strong bond with in case I'm not the person you're looking for. Take care of yourself and always stay hydrated!

2024.06.02 17:21 Hot_Pilot6926 My (22F) boyfriend (22M) says I cheated on him and is now shaming my character. But I don't consider what I did as "cheating" Need some insights.
Me and my boyfriend have been in this relationship for more than a year. About three months back, we had a terrible fight. At the end he'd said, "I can't be with you anymore. Leave me alone" I loved him a lot (I still do) and could not imagine losing him, so I tried to calm myself down and said "No, we'll talk about this when we are both calm and collected. I'll give you some space right now, think clearly for a few days and let me know if breaking up is what you really want" then we'd gone our separate ways. I had cried the entire way to my home. We are in the same uni and that's how we met. The next day, I was too shattered to go to my classes. The day after that, again I was too shattered to go. I'd missed two days, while he had gone, and he didn't even call or text to ask if I was okay. On the third day, I'd left a few "just checking in" texts, which he had left on 'delivered'. He had also been ignoring my calls, however on the third day, he had picked one of them and had straight up yelled "Why are you calling me? I said its over between us. Its over." and had cut the call. I had cried and cried and cried, to the point I would be shaking and throwing up.
I was completely broken. It was the lowest point of my life, losing the person I loved with my whole heart, because it was the phone call that had confirmed, he was really done. I couldn't think straight, my head was spinning, and eyes were puffy all the time. At the time, it happened to be one of my old friend's birthday. A male friend. I didn't even remember it was his birthday, I found out about it through snapchat's notification. And since he was a close childhood friend who had also wished me, I had, halfheartedly, wished him just a simple 'happy birthday' now mind you, he is as platonic of a friend as anyone can be. I have never had any feelings for him, and neither has he. We were childhood friends, known him since I was 13 and had a falling out when I had changed schools. In the recent years, we had met each other just ONCE, before I had even started dating my current boyfriend and it wasn't even a date with him, just a catching up with an old friend after years. This friend, I had known him for 8 years and he is like a brother to me.
The problem though, after I had wished him, he carried on with the conversation, asking me where I was rn and how I was. I replied normally and asked him about himself. He said that he was fine but had a recent break up he was trying to move on from. He asked about my dating life, since he had seen pictures of my boyfriend I had posted, and he asked how and where we met, the basic stuff. And since he had talked about his breakup, I told him what was going on in my relationship too, thinking it would make me feel lighter to talk to SOMEONE and get it off my chest. Not in details, just said stuff like "That's so relatable" I told him my boyfriend hadn't been talking to me and I was terrible. At one point, he had said "Dude, you'll find someone else, someone much better who doesn't make you cry" just how FRIENDS do. I ended the conversation a few minutes later.
The next day, I did go to my classes, and since we always used to sit together before the breakup, I went to the designated seat and sat beside him. We had numerous eye contacts throughout the day but neither of us spoke to the other. By the end of the day, he said he wanted to talk and I said 'Alright' so we went to a cafe nearby and had a heart to heart, he said that I was right, and he had just needed some time to cool off. He apologized and we made up. We kissed and said 'I love you' to each other for the very first time. However, I don't even remember at what point, but he had apparently seen the texts from last night. The one between my friend and I. He didn't say or ask anything about them. I was blissfully unaware and over the moon for having made up with him.
However, a month or so back, he suddenly started acting distant, said he needed to think and that he felt insecure in the relationship. We were still behaving normal, but he would have random episodes where he would go distant. I continuously asked him what was wrong and after a lot of pestering, he finally revealed that it was those messages. He said he had seen them months ago and that they didn't bother him at first but the more he thought of them, the more betrayed he felt. I told him I had completely forgotten about those texts. I promised him there was nothing at all between us and it was just a casual conversation I was having with my friend, and if it was of ANY significance, I would have told him and that there was nothing for me to hide from him.
He didn't believe me and said he couldn't trust me anymore. I apologized and have done so a million times in the last month. The last one month, we have had countless arguments regarding this. He has accused me of cheating, of breaking his trust, his heart and has said numerous hurtful things to me, questioning my loyalty, my character. I also blocked my friend from all the social media accounts, but he says it doesn't matter, and what hurt him the most was me talking about our relationship problems to someone else. It is fair for him to be mad, I do realize I shouldn't have done that. I have apologized, not for 'cheating' as he claims, since I never did that, but for breaking his trust.
Since then, I have tried to reassure him that I only love him, that I am only his, but he says he feels hollow inside and doesn't trust anything I say. He has started doubting my every move, every word. I text him a minute later than usual, and he accuses me of talking to someone else. He has also said we should end it, since there's no trust left anymore, but I practically begged him to stay and give me a chance. Just one chance. I told him I didn't realize me talking to a friend would hurt him so bad and now that I know how hurtful this is, I will NEVER repeat it. I have also told him that if I do ANYTHING to hurt him again, he was free to leave and never look back, but to give me just one chance to learn from my mistakes and correct them.
He had agreed, but there are certain taunts I still have to listen to. He keeps taunting me, subtly saying that I am a cheater. He has also sl*t shamed me multiple times, and it HURTS, because he is my whole entire world, and I have never even thought of anyone else in the same way. I love him and only him. But how do I make him trust me? How do I not get offended by his hurtful comments? How do we move forward? It feels like he hates me and there's not a single day I haven't gone to sleep crying after having an argument with him. We had planned our whole future together, but Idk how we can sustain it anymore. I can listen to his taunts and his complaints, but I cannot accept him slt-shaming me.
Some more context, he also has multiple female friends, who share their relationship problems with him. He goes out with them (in groups and sometimes one on one for coffee and such). They are tight knit and have been since before I entered his life. They have lunches together, make jokes, share inside jokes and have fun together, and I have never had any problem with that. Although sometimes it prickles, I ignore the insecurity because I decide to trust him instead. So why is me having a friend of the opposite gender such a crime? Why am I a sl*t for talking to my friend but its justified for him because they're friends? He has also done multiple hurtful things to me, but I always choose to understand and forgive, hoping he will learn, and giving him the benefit of the doubt. So why can't he do the same for me? Why am I such a villain in his eyes just for trying to ease my load of hurt but talking to a FRIEND? If he had done the same and if it was a person who was just a platonic friend to him, I would have understood, especially if he had apologized to me as many times as I have done.
TLDR: I had a conversation with my male friend about my relationship problems, and now my boyfriend thinks I am a cheater and questions my character. How do I win his trust? How do we move forward?

Not in details, just said stuff like "That's so relatable" I told him my boyfriend hadn't been talking to me and I was terrible. At one point, he had said "Dude, you'll find someone else, someone much better who doesn't make you cry" just how FRIENDS do. I ended the conversation a few minutes later.
The next day, I did go to my classes, and since we always used to sit together before the breakup, I went to the designated seat and sat beside him. We had numerous eye contacts throughout the day but neither of us spoke to the other. By the end of the day, he said he wanted to talk and I said 'Alright' so we went to a cafe nearby and had a heart to heart, he said that I was right, and he had just needed some time to cool off. He apologized and we made up. We kissed and said 'I love you' to each other for the very first time. However, I don't even remember at what point, but he had apparently seen the texts from last night. The one between my friend and I. He didn't say or ask anything about them. I was blissfully unaware and over the moon for having made up with him.
However, a month or so back, he suddenly started acting distant, said he needed to think and that he felt insecure in the relationship. We were still behaving normal, but he would have random episodes where he would go distant. I continuously asked him what was wrong and after a lot of pestering, he finally revealed that it was those messages. He said he had seen them months ago and that they didn't bother him at first but the more he thought of them, the more betrayed he felt. I told him I had completely forgotten about those texts. I promised him there was nothing at all between us and it was just a casual conversation I was having with my friend, and if it was of ANY significance, I would have told him and that there was nothing for me to hide from him.
He didn't believe me and said he couldn't trust me anymore. I apologized and have done so a million times in the last month. The last one month, we have had countless arguments regarding this. He has accused me of cheating, of breaking his trust, his heart and has said numerous hurtful things to me, questioning my loyalty, my character. I also blocked my friend from all the social media accounts, but he says it doesn't matter, and what hurt him the most was me talking about our relationship problems to someone else. It is fair for him to be mad, I do realize I shouldn't have done that. I have apologized, not for 'cheating' as he claims, since I never did that, but for breaking his trust.
Since then, I have tried to reassure him that I only love him, that I am only his, but he says he feels hollow inside and doesn't trust anything I say. He has started doubting my every move, every word. I text him a minute later than usual, and he accuses me of talking to someone else. He has also said we should end it, since there's no trust left anymore, but I practically begged him to stay and give me a chance. Just one chance. I told him I didn't realize me talking to a friend would hurt him so bad and now that I know how hurtful this is, I will NEVER repeat it. I have also told him that if I do ANYTHING to hurt him again, he was free to leave and never look back, but to give me just one chance to learn from my mistakes and correct them.
He had agreed, but there are certain taunts I still have to listen to. He keeps taunting me, subtly saying that I am a cheater. He has also sl*t shamed me multiple times, and it HURTS, because he is my whole entire world, and I have never even thought of anyone else in the same way. I love him and only him. But how do I make him trust me? How do I not get offended by his hurtful comments? How do we move forward? It feels like he hates me and there's not a single day I haven't gone to sleep crying after having an argument with him. We had planned our whole future together, but Idk how we can sustain it anymore. I can listen to his taunts and his complaints, but I cannot accept him slt-shaming me.
Some more context, he also has multiple female friends, who share their relationship problems with him. He goes out with them (in groups and sometimes one on one for coffee and such). They are tight knit and have been since before I entered his life. They have lunches together, make jokes, share inside jokes and have fun together, and I have never had any problem with that. Although sometimes it prickles, I ignore the insecurity because I decide to trust him instead. So why is me having a friend of the opposite gender such a crime? Why am I a sl*t for talking to my friend but its justified for him because they're friends? He has also done multiple hurtful things to me, but I always choose to understand and forgive, hoping he will learn, and giving him the benefit of the doubt. So why can't he do the same for me? Why am I such a villain in his eyes just for trying to ease my load of hurt but talking to a FRIEND? If he had done the same and if it was a person who was just a platonic friend to him, I would have understood, especially if he had apologized to me as many times as I have done.
TLDR: I had a conversation with my male friend about my relationship problems, and now my boyfriend thinks I am a cheater and questions my character. How do I win his trust? How do we move forward?
2024.06.02 17:16 someoneoutthere1335 Bizarre glitch in the matrix moment - twin related
My twin flame and I have been separated since 2020. There were some attempts for comebacks here and there but nothing serious, he would prefer to run than address things. I recently found out he got married and moved to Europe with his now wife, actually a 4-hour train ride from me. We are geographically on the map closer than ever.
I was having intense dreams of the closure I never got from him as of the last month, being tormented years in the what if’s not being able to find peace in terms of why did we have such a fallout back then. Mind you I had never dreamt of him during the 4 year separation. Now the dreams were crystal clear, giving me oddly specific information and insights on the closure I never got…. I felt like burning and going crazy inside. I felt his energy trying to reach me.
2-3 days after these series of dreams, intense heart-opening experiences and symbolism, I have an account add me on Facebook, with a profile picture that looked identical to him, and a cover photo of a theme I know was my twin’s style/aesthetic. I reached out to the account and they were playing dumb at first, I was asking “is this who I think it is?” And they were like “maybe”. Then eventually we start talking, he said he’s from the same country as my twin (first shock) he sends me pictures of places, himself (looking almost goosebumps-level-identical to my twin, sending me pictures of locations my twin would like - second shock), texting style just like my twin (third shock)…. I was convinced it was him but at the same time skeptical … eventually they revealed they are a completely random person who added me because I liked a post from a beach festival …
Even though it was not him, this was soooo odd… Like what are the odds? Truly, what are the odds? Out of all the countries, all the people, at THIS TIMING (with all the omens and dreams I was bombarded with) to have this happen? I’ve had similar experiences where I’ll see someone look or resemble my twin in terms of mannerisms or whatever… but this one was bizarre… felt like such a glitch in the matrix moment … Even though this person was not him, it felt like the energy of him … is that making any sense?

2024.06.02 17:13 JustCurious791 Customers misreporting deliveries
Been doing instacart for almost a year now. Yesterday, I accepted a batch at Aldi (they’ve downgraded their bags, smaller no handles).
Their large items now don’t fit in bags properly (large meat packages: large salmon filets, etc).
A bag I picked up rip down the corner so I had to consolidate bags and rearrange some things, other than that everything was fine.
No later than 5 minutes down the road from leaving, I get a text then call from IC support stating customer complained entire order was damaged. Nothing was impacted, not even the bread which you can see in the photo.
They gave instructions regarding their home (color of roof, which street side their entrance is on (2-unit home, on the corner of an intersection) and a purple sign which wasn’t hanging but I later saw sitting in a container on the porch).
I messaged the customer letting them know I saw the sign and the colomake of their car in their driveway, they never responded but were clearly waiting for their order.
I told support items were not damaged (customer stated everything was damaged not just one item).
This morning, I get an email stating a customer reported their entire order missing. I contact support and it’s the same customer. How can an order be completely damaged and then mysteriously disappear? The rep said they’d handle it and I have no reported issues on my stats. 2nd rep I spoke to this morning said they’d inform the support team that handles order issues that customer changed their story.
The rep that called me when the customer was on the other line stated he saw everything in the picture and the entire order looked fine. It appears the customer went back after not being satisfied with the initial call and reported the entire order missing!
The only other time this was ever an issue was late at night in a rough neighborhood. I messaged the customer and clearly saw multiple people in the home, asking the customer if they’d like me to leave the order on their porch. They confirmed yes, I sent them a picture and they even said thanks , but later called and told IC that they never received the delivery. Depending on how long they took their groceries, they may have been stolen. But it was more likely that they were trying to be reimbursed for the few items that they had ordered, which was mostly frozen foods and snacks.
I don’t want these false accusations on my account record! This customer lived in a quiet rural community and it was the middle of afternoon and I’m 100% sure it was the right home. I actually heard them come downstairs and push the door but never opened it.

2024.06.02 17:10 wishingforportugal90 I'm (30F) in the US and pining for this hot guy (33M) I met in Portugal and I'm going crazy.
I guess I'm not sure what I want from this post. Mostly just input. I definitely have an anxious attachment style. Which is not conducive to a long distance relationship but that's besides the point. This is a good opportunity for me to continue to learn about communication styles when casually dating people.
Background: I recently travelled abroad for 2.5 weeks. I got back last Friday. Not to toot my own horn, but I'm a very pretty pale white girl with blonde hair, a really bubbly personality, and boy can I dance. On my first night, I met THE HOTTEST GUY I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE at the hostel. He grew up in Brazil and moved to Portugal 2 years ago. He travels frequently but has been unable to visit the US due to Visas being very difficult to obtain as a Brazilian. He SHOWERED me in compliments and attention like I've never seen before. My pale skin, my blonde hair, my bubbly personality, my body (I'm average), my dancing, my humor. I learned that this may be cultural and tried to take it with a grain of salt and tried not to fall in love lmao.
So we made out and spent the night (it was a safe situation don't worry) but didn't do anything else as I was just recently out of a relationship. I told him and he respected that and we cuddled. He gave me a lot of attention for the few days I was in Portugal. I figured he was just trying to convince me to sleep with him which I wasn't going to do so I just kind of moved on and continued on my travels figuring he didn't really care.
The next morning he left me a voice message saying he actually really did like me and would like to continue talking and would hope to meet up at the end of my trip in Spain. We continued texting/voice messages/pictures but we were unable to meet up so I flew back to the states. He made it clear that he still wanted to talk. Again, I'm trying not to fall in love but I'm also fantasizing about this romantic LDR and moving to Portugal and blah blah blah. At the very least, it'd be very interesting to continue a casual virtual friendship with someone who grew up so vastly different than I did.
Anyway, since I've been home, I send him pictures and memes and texts and voice messages and he's limited in his responses. He keeps apologizing and saying he loves seeing my messages pop up but he's been busy. He also got pretty sick for like 5 days with a fever (I could hear it in his voice). He's said that he loves that I text him but "I'm so sorry I'm not giving you the attention you deserve." Of course, I'm drastically overthinking this. Am I texting too much? Do I look desperate? I don't want to keep texting without any potential conversation because that's pointless. I'm literally googling "How much do 33 year old men text?" because I'm so freaking anxious. All my prior dating experiences have been non-stop texting/talking until a relationship forms or I cut it off because there's no click there. However, the last time I've been single was at 26 and dating younger guys.
He HAS called a few times in between errands or whatever but we don't know each other's schedules and the time difference (5 hours) makes it a bit difficult. And I don't want to be the crazy person calling him all the time to see if HE'S free. Again, overthink overthink.
On Wednesday I was honestly about to make this reddit post because I'm so anxious and have so many questions. But then he actually calls me! And we get to talk for an hour and it's wonderful and time passed so quick. His English isn't so great so he kept apologizing (another reason why it may be difficult for him to text and respond) but I honestly love it. We went through the memes I had sent over the days and it was just a lovely conversation and he assured me that he feels bad he's been so busy and he will be more free over the next few weeks to talk. (!!! Yay he wants to keep talking!!!) And also he showers me with more compliments which I LOVE. Words of affirmation is my LOVE LANGUAGE.
It's now Sunday and I've heard little from him. I know he went away on vacation for a few days and again apologized he wasn't able to respond because he was away. I keep texting him because he keeps telling me he likes when my messages pop up. But I'm just not sure what to believe and I don't want to feel desperate or push him away with bombarding him with messages about my day and pictures of me. He sent me a good morning voice message yesterday and a 20 second "I'm at work, how are you?" message midday but nothing since. I keep texting like normal but I feel insane doing so. I genuinely enjoy texting but I don't want him to be like "oh this chick is crazy and WAY too into me". Although, as far as I know, he hasn't even been online on WhatsApp. And what's the point of stringing me along when I'm not even there or available for a hookup? He hasn't even joked or asked about coming to the US through me which would honestly be a good reason for him to keep talking to me lol!
Again, not looking for advice on a LDR lmao I'll figure that part out. I'm more looking for advice or feedback or what appropriate texting is like in our 30s, what casual dating looks like when you don't see each other or are busy, how to see if a guy really likes you, when to believe what they say, when to ask about the intentions, what a realistic timeframe is, etc etc. I have to figure that out just going forward in dating as an adult in general.
Any input or conversation is appreciated!! I feel like I'm going crazy!!! <3
TL;DR: Made a crush abroad. He keeps saying he want's to talk to me but it's been inconsistent. However, it's only been about 9 days since I've been back home.
Edited for grammar.
