Everyone misses out on something in this life. The world is too big and diverse, and we humans are too small and limited. You may be missing out on some things, even things that other people find important, but in exchange, you'll find your own things that will be important to you, and there will be others missing out on them.

Hello, So I’ve been talking to this guy (22M) I really like from Egypt for awhile. He’s super kind and funny. I’d really like to ask him out, however I’m a Caucasian girl (19F) from America and I’ve dated a guy for three years in a male centric culture (he was Mexican). He ended up being physically and emotionally abusive to me when I turned 18 because I did not want to get married and have kids yet because I’m young and it’s not how my culture (Norwegian and Italian) is. I wanted to go to school and I was very clear about it from the start of the relationship. Well anyways it has been a year past that and I met this really kind Egyptian guy (he’s from Cairo) and I really like him. So far he has not shown any red flags, he’s just really silly and pretty open which is nice. He’s hinted that he likes me and I like him back however, with my last relationship I guess I’m a bit scarred. I don’t want to be hurt like that again. I know that Islamic culture is pretty strict especially toward...

I went on a first date and thought it went great from what I could tell. He said we should get dinner next time. Constant texting afterwards with him mentioning “dinner next time,” a couple more time. So I thought all was well. About 5 days went by but he didn’t set it up, so I asked if he wants to go out again. He said yes and we set a date. The day before, he canceled saying he had some work thing that he forgot about. I’m not 100% sure I believe him but maybe. We kept texting having good conversation/joking/laughing daily but he didn’t ask to reschedule. Another week went by, no mention of rescheduling. I finally got annoyed, and said I was enjoying texting but it would be nice to meet in person if that’s something he actually wanted to do and if not that was ok too. He said “why would you wait for me to ask to reschedule - you could have asked yourself!” I thought that was kind of a lame response given I was the one who asked him and he canceled. I feel like anyone would wonder...

Sometimes it adds something to the story but it honestly usually doesn't. It's even more frustrating because I'm Dutch and for some reason EVERY Dutch movie in existence feels the need to have a very explicit sex scene. It's almost a "we do it because we can" kind of thing but everyone hates it 🤣 February 11, 2022 at 11:25PM
