| 8 | Tell me why you don't chase anyone anymore.This is literally what I needed to read today. I’m effectively 3 months out of a LTR and have found myself developing feelings for a suitor. I’m not putting forth the effort. I’m prioritizing myself and allowing him to do 95% of the work. He knows where I am mentally and with the last relationship. He knows my boundaries. As long as he respects that he can stay in my life, and if he doesn’t I won’t be so attached that I can’t see the forest for the trees. In other news I’ve decided no one else w… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/10/20 11:02 PM |

| 17 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered: September 29 2020I already posted my weekly level up check in. But I wanted to mini celebrate. I went and got a U-Haul, loaded it and unloaded it all with just minimal help from my BFF. I did it ladies! Heavy furniture and all, no man needed.

How are you currently meeting guys? OLD? I know the world is insane right now, but I would suggest trying to meet guys while doing activities you care about or through mutual friends.

| 2 | A full stomach is a happy stomach 🤭I think that’s a very reasonable response. I personally think it’s a act of service that is of value. This may be due to my time working as a chef. If a “layman” can cook a meal that makes my heart sing then this is indeed something special. But it’s a grey area that would depend on your own experiences. And I think it’s up to all of us to decide what’s of value for us. I also think that a HVM is made up of many things that are of value. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/09/20 01:59 AM |

It’s more than the right thing. It’s the healthy thing. You removed a toxic person from your life. Of course you feel sad! You lost a friend, and it’s a perfectly normal reaction to that. Be sad. Embrace the sad, it proves that you’re a human who feels emotion. Then move beyond sad. You’ll be okay. We are all here to lift you up. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/09/20 06:53 AM |
| 75 | A full stomach is a happy stomach 🤭Is it bare minimum though? (genuine question). To me, cooking any random dinner, picking up cutlets from a restaurant, or buying them premade from the store would be bare minimum.

I’ve come to believe that falling in love is not an actual thing. I think you fall into infatuation. Love is a state you work towards.

(Mono - 99% certain I got it from him) and he literally did nothing for me. Didn’t cook me meals. The best that could be said was he didn’t bother me to cook. Except I did... while sick with fucking MONO! I lost 20lbs and would sleep 16 hours a day and got up to cook for him. Ugh. So yeah, if I’m having to go at it alone with a partner...

He did end up splitting the cost because I was dead set on it. After the procedure he did take care of me at his place because my arm was very painful and sore. It felt heavy.

It's *always* an automatic left swipe for me regardless of anything else on the profile. 📸Saaaaame.

| 20 | "Friends" swiping right on OLDI was going to say the same thing. I swipe right on my friends for fun and we end up joking about some of the tragic profiles we see. But if for .35 seconds I thought a friend was “more serious” I would trust my gut and nope outta there. Potentially even end the friendship | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/09/20 10:16 PM |

| 15 | Why "walk dates" are a thing on OLD and why they should be trashed every single time.There has been an influx of newbies here (I am obviously one of them), so sometimes the newbie questions get downvoted.

It also changed my life for the better and made me feel like the baddest bitch on the planet. I can’t wait to see what else I can do all by my badass self. Congrats to you for the time to introspect.

| 4 | What is your timeline to marriage?Thankfully I learned this one in my early 20s and even with my recent ex, though we split the bills, our accounts were 100% separate. No joint accounts for me, no fucking thank you. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/09/20 07:26 PM |
| 8 | What is your timeline to marriage?Sure I meant financially noncommittal. I should probably have been more clear. I refuse to split bills ever again with anyone. But I do want a period of living together to see if we can live together before marriage. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/09/20 06:34 PM |
| 3 | What is your timeline to marriage?Mine is hypothetical because I’m not looking due to focusing on my own level up. 1-3 months: dating and discussion of if he’s marriage minded. 3-6 months: exclusivity. At this point still vetting want to make sure he’s keeping up his end of things 12-18 months: financially noncommittal living together. (This is the kicker for me..) 18-24 months: engagement (I want a 18-24 month engagement Bc I want a big wedding). 36-48 months: marriage. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/09/20 06:24 PM |

| 8 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered September 10 2020I was just going through the same thing after ending a relationship. I decided that I had to focus on one over the other, which unfortunately meant “settling”. I was going to try to get a little studio, but it was stretching my budget and the rental market is a nightmare right now in my area. So instead I found a room to rent month-to-month in a cute older couple’s home. They are sweet as pie and I’m saving hundreds of dollars a month that I’m using to help level me up in other ways.

Being recently single I’ve had a ton of old “guy friends” who disappeared during the relationship and want to know what’s up now.

Walking away from little equity in a divorce, that’s now huge equity. And walking away from the house I made a home for four years while I did 99% of the maintenance. Never again.
