We’ve been friends for over a year now and we met at work. Neither of us works there anymore. And it’s been an extremely rocky one.

He really enjoys putting me down in front of people. The worst thing he’s said so far is he’d never date an ugly person like me, said I’m a 7 and he only dates 8s and up. We talked and he apologized and we became friends again. At some point I developed a crush on him and he had a crush on me basically since we met apparently.

I was going through a depressive period last year and he was a ghost. Basically told me to grow up and get over it. He also started an ex coworker and I did the respectful thing of just distancing myself. He didn’t…after a few months of silence he called me and said he loved me and how I was a shitty person for reducing contact.

We made up again and agreed to be cordial. Then our fights started up again. I asked if his gf was up for meeting me (we were coworkers so I knew her) and he put me down saying I was a terrible person and have 0 respect for her among other things. I reduced contact again, muted my IG stories from him we haven’t talked in 3 months

Now he’s back…”miss ya” and then “can hate me if you want but I’d prefer if we skip that”

I am sick of this cycle. My therapist told me to block him months ago but I didn’t want him to attack me in front of my friends (already told people I’m crazy) and I didn’t want to make a fuss.

I don’t know if I should just send a final message and block or just not do anything. Considering blocking because even just seeing his name in my notifications is causing anxiety

I’m 26F and started working for myself in December and I’ve always been single. Longest talking stage was 3 months and the guy ended up meeting someone else and ended it with me.

I’ve noticed this trend on my dates these days. There’s a lot of “oooh aaah you’re a founder that’s so exciting” phase, “wish I could do that” phase, comparison and then it ends.

I might get a lot of hate for saying this and I don’t intend to come off as rude but I feel like I’m unintentionally making guys feel insecure. I also travel quite a bit as I like working from other countries. I live in Europe so it’s easy for me. I don’t even talk about it in a braggy way, I stay in modest airbnbs

I feel like I can’t get past 1st dates these days, which is a new problem I didn’t have previously. I’ve gone on 18 dates (12 first) in 2026 so I do put myself out there.

I don’t know if I’m rubbing people off the wrong way somehow.

I primarily used Hinge and just now resumed using bumble again. I seem to be getting a lot of matches but no replies. I have my opening moves set, so they could start the conversation.

I’ve also tried to message them first but the timer just runs out. I feel like I’m actually getting in-person dates on hinge but I can’t even get to the hello stage on bumble. Someone super swiped on me and I started the conversation and still no reply.

Also something weird happened today - I matched with 2-3 guys in a row and checked right after and they were gone. I get that guys may unmatch if they’re not interested but there’s no way they had enough time to open the app and unmatch because I went to that tab within seconds.

Not taking it personally because I still use hinge but I’m starting to wonder if this a tech issue.

I’m just now exploring LHR. I did 1 session sometime ago on class pass just for my legs and it surprisingly worked already. There’s a few patches where there’s 0 hair now so want to do it basically on my whole body. I’m Indian and have PCOS so got lots of hair

I’m looking at Pulse Light clinic given the reviews

Full body (3/4 arms) and face is £1,149 for 6 sessions. I might need 8 so £1,429. Is this a good price for full body or is it supposed to be cheaper? Going to schedule a consultation soon but it’s very new for me so wanted to benchmark.
