That's so sweet. I'd say my favorite gift was also an international trip. We went to Japan, as it had been my #1 country to visit for a long time.

Enjoy your Christmas trip! :)

Pikachu crying gets me every time :')

He's beautiful!

Oh my goodness those ears look so fluffy! :D

That's South Dakota! :) Erm, that's the extent of my knowledge about the Dakotas lol

Those ear tufts! <3

That is so gross

Moxxi is swallowing hard salivating but she's also a good girl so she's gonna wait til the food's given to her xD

My partner and best friend, the fact that I'm off work for the next few days, that I've got stuff in the fridge to whip up some ramen because that's what I've been craving!

I call them "sprouts!" 🌱☺️

For reference, I'm in my early 30s. A random guy trying to ask me out would probably be a no-go, just for the fact that I don't even know you. Probably because I'm kind of sheltered and don't tend to strike up conversations with strangers. Maybe if we were at coffee/book/record shop or something and had a nice conversation first (so that I could at least gauge if he's a weirdo or not), and THEN he asks me out.

Actually all of the people I've dated were people in my friend circle, friends of friends, people I went to school with, or coworkers. This kind of proximity dating has been enough for me since I've never felt.. romantically lonely (I'm not gonna count highschool lol). I've never done online-dating because I've never felt the need to.

Basically I'm saying the random approach would probably, most likely, not work for someone like me.😅

I also think we've all heard plenty of dates-gone-wrong type of stories – and you hear a lot because the world's very connected now and we love to share. And so that certainly makes a person more guarded, wary.

I wonder what the older generation's dating experience was like. I'd like to think they were more outgoing and trusting and had an easier time! xD

Thanks Mr. Manager for being so welcoming! It seems wayyy better on Lemmy so far. I'm excited to spend more time here. Also maybe it's just me, but there's something nice about being part of a smaller community. :)
