Wow, really? You must have a lot of self-control. Maybe it would be easy if there were a mutual understanding about it and tempting situations were avoided. Though some Christians take it to extremes. One of my friends refused to ever be alone with his girlfriend anywhere. Even outdoors. I think that's silly. How would you even get to know the other person if you can't be alone together?

Welp, so much for being set up with that guy. My relative found out through the grapevine that he's interested in someone, though not actually in a relationship, so there goes that idea. I'm probably just destined to be alone. lol

I have no idea where to go with my career. I've been seriously considering quitting my job, but I don't think there are any other jobs I could possibly get right now. And sadly I'm going to feel heartbroken no matter what I choose. If I stay I might have more problems that I don't need and will continue to feel uncomfortable. But if I quit I might feel like a failure and will have no way to support myself again. I want to do the right thing but I don't want to regret my choice later.
Do you work as an artist? This sort of thing is so hard. I've been there many times, not knowing whether to quit or not. I've learned it's usually best to find a new job before quitting the old one, though not always easier this way.
EDIT: are we even allowed to double and triple post? I can't recall reading anything in the rules about it. But I've been doing it a lot lately and I hope it's not against the forum rules.

I've triple posted on here a few times. Probably not a good idea, but we're just having a pleasant discussion. It's when the discussions turn into arguments, mods really don't like triple posting.
I've never seen that. It looks like it's from the 90s Superman show.
That's stupid of him. The dating scene is really competitive. Maybe he thinks he has a really, really good shot w/ this girl. His loss if she says no & you're 'taken' too.
It's just a guess. It goes back to me thinking 2 years is a really quick time. Now 10 years, that'd be really, really hard.
That does sound like an extreme. I'm pretty sure my Christian cousins never slept in the same room till they got married, even tho they lived w/ each other way before marriage. That always seemed kind of strange to me. I guess if that's what you gotta do, you gotta do.

Nah. It's not like my relative actually talked to him about me. As far as he's concerned, I don't exist. Fat chance I'll be taken within the next 50 years. lol

In that case it’s understandable. He shouldn’t reach out without settling that first. You were open to the possibility which is good. That expands your net.
Absolutely. Now if only the bloody world would get back in motion so I can do more net expanding. lol
Aww, Miss Isaiah. I hope you aren't seriously being hard on yourself like that.
I was mostly joking. Mostly. If I weren't content to be single I would be soooo crushed right now. It just gets tiring, you know?

This is a good time to make a move. You’ll gain insight on his mind, emotions, patience, and creativity. How is he handling the lockdown or setbacks? Is he upbeat and positive or on the other end? Adversity gives important insight you won’t gain in the beginning or during easy periods. But it’s necessary in the long run.
I was dating someone last year. The riots were in my neighborhood. They were losing their minds. I’m watching them out the window breaking into stores on my block. I’m running through scenarios for our protection and the man is panicking.
He’s safe. I’ve got the mob downstairs. I’m calm and staring at the phone in shock. I understand the situation was bad around the country. But I need you to keep your cool. That’s not helping me.
Keeps calm under pressure is a must!

This is true, but it's really hard to meet people at all right now. Let alone single Christian men. All the events and things at the churches are cancelled. People are afraid to visit with each other. It's a mess. The government pokes Canadians with a stick and they roll over and play dead. So pathetic.

If meeting is hard you can be proactive in other areas. This is the perfect time to try a new look. Experiment with makeup and skincare. Freshen your closet if needed. You’ll be ready when things open up.
Why do you think I bought that corset.
I’ve been shopping and preparing for things to come.

My closet is full of clothes that I never wear right now because my job doesn't require nice clothes and I don't go anywhere anymore. I think that can wait. But I have been thinking of getting my hair cut in a new style. That might be fun. What's the best way to wear bangs/a fringe if you've got fine hair?
Do you find your corset gets uncomfortable after a while? Is it like an old-fashioned one that's super rigid?

Wow. That does look uncomfortable. Does yours really pinch your waist this much? Looks Victorian. lol

That's nice. You have lots to choose from. A haircut sounds fun. Do you want a blunt style or layers?
It depends on your purpose. It takes time to close it completely and you need a routine. If you don't want to do waist training I recommend a waist trainer. They won't give you the same benefits but they're fun to wear. More appropriate for casual looks.
I'm starting after I finish my DIY projects. You want to be consistent. You start with a smaller period of time and build up. Some sleep in their corsets. I probably wouldn't.

It reduces the waist. She's been wearing one for a long time. Reduction depends on your squishiness. An hourglass can do more extreme looks than others. The body is naturally proportioned that way. You aren't forcing the issue.

Well, I had it straight across as a child, but my hair was a bit thicker then. I think layers is probably more appropriate for my hair type, seeing as it's so fine. Right now it's all the same length. Is it possible to have layered bangs and the rest just be all the same length?
