I’m getting to know a girl who has said she struggles with anxiety, and I’ve noticed her communication can be quite inconsistent.

Sometimes she’ll send long voice notes, sometimes short texts, and sometimes I won’t hear from her for a couple of days. She did say that if she doesn’t reply within 24 hours, I can send a follow-up message to prompt her, which makes me think she does want to stay in contact but might struggle with replying consistently.

Where I’m finding it difficult is when it comes to planning to meet up.

When I ask what she’d like to do, she tends to describe a general vibe (e.g. enjoying something fun or interactive) rather than suggesting a specific activity. And when I ask if she’s free, she’ll say she’d love to meet but often says “I don’t know yet” or “I’ll let you know” rather than committing to a day.

I’m trying to work out the best way to approach this.

Would it be better to:

•	ask more specific questions (e.g. suggest a day and activity),

rather than

•	leaving things open-ended?

Or is this just something I need to be patient with and let her come to decisions in her own time?

Getting to know a girl with anxiety and her communication is pretty inconsistent. Sometimes she’ll send 15min voice notes, sometimes small texts or sometimes she just takes a while to reply and I won’t hear from her for a few days ?

When it comes to meeting up she’s really vague I asked what she wanted to do and she described a vibe rather than an actual activity. And when I ask if she’s free she says she’d love to meet but can never commit to a day or she says idk if I’m free or I’ll let you know later.

Should I be asking more specific questions rather than open ones? Like suggesting a specific date and activity instead of leaving it open?

But she did say the best way to communicate is if she doesn’t reply within 24 hours I just send her another message to prompt her to reply

I assume she’d like to keep in contact but may struggle to manage her own life too ?

I’ve been speaking to someone(F22) and something came up that I’m not sure how to interpret.

She lives with both of her parents, but she’s always had a poor relationship with her mum. Living with both parents is ok but never really having a good relationship with your own mother is strange

I know family relationships can be complicated and don’t automatically define someone, but I’m trying to understand whether this is something I should pay attention to or not.

For context, she seems fine in general and we get on well, but I haven’t seen how she handles conflict in a deeper way yet.

Is this something people would consider a red flag, or is it more about how she manages relationships overall?

Had a “liquid detected in Lightning connector” warning about 6 months ago (likely from bathroom steam, not direct water). Phone wouldn’t charge for a day, then started working again.

Now I’ve got:

•	CarPlay disconnects when cable moves

•	Sometimes won’t connect unless I unplug/replug

•	Audio cuts out via cable

•	Very weak cellular signal even in strong areas

I’m assuming the bottom assembly (Lightning port + antenna contacts) may have moisture-related damage.

If I go to Apple (no AppleCare), will they:

•	Attempt a repair

•	Or just offer a full unit replacement (\~£400 “other damage” quote)?

Also curious if this sounds like just a port issue or something deeper (antenna/board) ?

Is there any point in repair or not ?
