Happily married since 1995 so, unlikely.

Okay, first of all, HILARIOUS.
Second: She can definitely salvage the project a couple of ways depending on what she's making and the yarn content. If y'all need any help, post over on r/crochet.

Reply to TIFU by talking excitedly about food and beating inflation…in front of a literal millionaire by DogThrowawaay
Nah she's helping you out. She might've gotten the wrong message from your Convo, but at least you know she's caring for you. Might be embarrassing but I'd keep the food. If you don't need it all, you could also give some away to people who do need it. It's honestly a great gesture

Reply to comment by theRegVelJohnson in TIFU, might have colon cancer by Im_InYour_Balls
+1 for IBD of some sort. But even if it is cancer, a relatively good prognosis is likely. Certainly compared to the senior population at least.

As someone with anxiety I feel like thinking that this was some sort of self sabotage is exactly what my anxiety brain would tell me. As others have said, you have no idea what the outcome would’ve been, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!

She must have more than that, then. Two great homes, full-time housekeeper/someone to help cook and serve for events, and a gardener.
Actually she’s a bit famous as well. Developed some breakthrough in treatment of a cancer, and is in a few viral videos because her surgeries helped young kids see again.

Yes, I double that. What I'm doing myself is to just try to take these situations as learning experiences for the future and do it better then.

Here's the thing. Today you, has no clue what fiture you wants or needs.
Remember when you were 5, and Johnny Two Shoes didn't invite you to his bday party? Sucked right? But 22 yo you know Johnny Two Shoes ended up marrying Sarah whats her name and they're already divorced! Bullet dodged.
My point is, you end up where you're supposed to end up. You don't know where that is, it is very often not where you think you want to go. But after a certain point in lofe you start looking back and seeing how that relationship endi g or not getting the job enabled, some beautiful favorite part of your life.
Its all about perspective.
Maybe concert guy would've been great, but maybe the best outcome is that you challenge your anxiety, and when baseball game guy comes along, you're not with concert guy, and you're not held back by your anxiety, and you fall madly in love. Turns oit he's perfect for you fr.
This is how life works. You will see it if you look for it.
Don't bother with regret, it is at most you not YET understanding the value of the path you're on. That's ok, that's the fun of it, some would say that's the point.
And I mean look at you reading this, considering a mental map that eliminates regret and makes the future always infinitely hopeful.
Seems a tad more valuable than concert guy doesn't it.
;)

"been single for a while"
Just because the past was a certain way doesn't mean the future will be the same.
Appreciate the moment and the feelings you had then accept that part of the beauty is how temporary it was.
Be open to the idea that the world is full of people that are your type.

Personally, I would take not having gas money as a pretty clear indicator that this is someone I shouldn’t be dating, if he was real. I wouldn’t even start a conversation with anyone who lives more than 20 minutes away. If he was real and you did hit it off and the relationship went somewhere, it is going to be a repeat of this every time.

Maybe the event has some sort of social media page and he's on there? It's a bit of a stretch but you never know. What's meant to be will be, if you don't see him again there will be others 😊

I don’t want to be a hole in da ass but when you have anxietys on that level you are not ready to have a serious relationship and should work on yourself first. Figure out why you are like this and what triggered it because I am sure beside your problems you are a wonderful person that will find alot of happiness in it’s life.

It was super fun. Those tv's in waiting rooms? I used to change the channel to something good instead of gameshows and news. Most receptionists didnt notice but was fun watching them constantly trying to out remote me.

Maybe try a "missed connections" personal ad or posting on a local fan site for the band ? If you can't let go in a few days ?
