Like a phone call to heaven?

Maybe I'm being pathetic. All my family is dead and I'm going through a painful, lonely time where I really ache for the few things in life, and the few bonds that were really my own.

I seek an advice about DIY bamboo flute. Google can't find exactly what I'm looking for, and gives a tutorial for a thick bamboo stick with a set length and doesn't provide exact measurements. I have a munch thinner, but longer stick, and I don't know how and where exactly to make holes.

allows only finished projects, and covers a bit different subject, so I would very appreciate any help!

It was this online drawing of a Blonde haired boy poking dark hair friend's cheek on the top half of the image, the bottom half being them both grown up showing they were girls and they were wearing in school uniforms. I randomly remembered it and now I can’t stop thinking about that damn image.

35f, This guy 35m, we met on bumble three years ago.. he was working remotely, an hour away. I was nice to him. We had a superficial conversation about movies and stuff. I had a therapist insist I apologize for karmic reasons. I thought it was stupid I did it a year ago September 2025. He moved here, specifically in the town next to me where my parents live, he’s like 30+ minutes from them. 40+ from me- Weirdly in between ..

At the start of September he reached out at the start of September, last month I didn’t realize the symbolic coincidence of his choices. I was having a good time shrooming while camping when he reached out. When I met him he deflected a bunch and when he finally had his lucid vulnerability he admits that he's been thinking and dreaming of me that he thought the apology was a sign, and in the sit of nearly passing out he said you must think I’m a desperate loser for showing up. I was definitely annoyed but I was nice bc I do like him. He asked that we take things slow, there’s no rush.

whatever we go on one date and get coffee. He planned the date, and dropped a life resume. I ask that we slow down and remind him of his comment of taking things slow. I parked closer to the coffee shop and drove him to his car. I gave him a welcome bag from stuff around my place, books for work, health foods.. and a list of places for his hobby. (its not a big deal I already knew these places existed, we have a lot more in common than I realized) he was super grateful and the conversation was getting better between us.

finally. I can’t meet him on Sunday because I had to work that night. I offered to give him brownies bc I made them for this volunteer event. He declines and says we’re cool. We could do something later. I asked him if he wanted to meet up with the e yoga studio he found. I’ll be going out of town the upcoming week. No answer for four days.. I said something like if your not interested to meet on the days I suggested just say so. I don’t want to repeat the cycle from where you reject with silence—still silence. I called in a good mood, just to check in … he apologized for his silence and I said yea, I forgot you just do that I shouldn’t have sent that last message, I’m sorry. I’m in a good mood and I just wanted to see how you’re doing. He responded, yeah, I’m not looking for a romantic relationship, I only answered bc I was waiting for my friend to call me. Can I call you later. My voice cracks. I said don’t bother calling … and ended the call.

Two weeks pass. I’m in a good mood. I called yesterday to find out my number is blocked. I made an internet number and asked, what’s going ..why did you block me . He responded I didn’t block you and ended the call. I texted Hey it’s 

This is my first time contacting you since our call two weeks ago… I don’t understand why you’d block me… or why you made your comment. We were taking things slow, there was nothing romantic from my side I was just being myself and polite… 

Correct me if I’m wrong, I feel like I upset you because I didn’t rearrange my sleep schedule to meet you Sunday.

I don’t understand why you’re acting so defensive towards me

My therapist thinks that you pushed me away with your mean lie bc you have intense feelings towards me … you don’t feel safe to articulate for a fear of rejection.

Idk why you’re acting this way. you’ve already did the grandest action of showing up.

I don’t get angry I just feel waves of sadness.. . I wish you’d just talk to me..

I also had many friends play these toxic games which is why I’m not fighting, chasing or whatever.. I prefer honesty it’s faster and easier

I just want to understand what changed .. Idk how to judge you

(I waited ten minutes)

You win. I’m done. There’s no need to block my number.. I changed my main number after you made your comment two weeks ago bc I was hurt and confused.

I’ll be deleting this number also. Good luck, I hope you stop fukking with people lives

****

(Believe me I did plenty to forget him and when I moved on he’s here… ) I feel dumb for responding to his message.
I expected him to spaz out maybe three months in but he did it in three weeks. WTF? Am I crazy?
my question:: why go through all this effort just to play these weird toxic games? Was I too nice to this guy? 

tl;dr guy moves to my town after two years of not talking. He read my apology that my hippie therapist insisted that I pushed him away. (Idk how being nice pushes some away) he returns a year later. I stupidly, still like this weirdo. We have a lot more in common than I remember. He plays hot-cold games and pushes me away by saying he’s not interested in a romantic relationship. blocks my number. I expected him to spaz out three months but he did it in three weeks. WTF? am I crazy?

idk where to post my situation seems dumb..

I'm agnostic. When I first met my wife she was interested in Christianity, but wasn't really that committed. After we got married she started getting more involved. It started off slowly where she would just go to church, then it was Bible studies and prayer groups all the time. Every form of media she consumed for a while was Christian related. She tried to convert me and I had to establish clear boundaries. It's hard to relate to her because that's such a big part of her life that I'm not interested in. Sometimes it seems like she doesn't really have any interests outside that. Now she's indoctrinating our kids and I'm not sure how I feel about that because some Orthodox beliefs conflict with my own personal values/morals.

Looking for a community where male fashion is discussed and appreciated. Preference for subreddits that lean towards more eccentric styles rather than copy/paste t-shirt and jeans.

I already found two gamerecommendations and gamesuggestions but I’d still like more to widen my search

I have a GE window AC. Its great, no issues, except now that I wfh, it points directly at me, freezing me out. It can not be moved. Neither can my desk. I attempted to put a floor vent diverter on there, but the front of AC is plastic, so it doesn't stay with provided magnets.

Command strips, poster adhesive, packing tape, electrical tape, KT Tape (this one last the longest), blue tacky stuff. Aside from actually super gluing it, any recommendations?

Im assuming the almost constant air flow dries out adhesive. I have also checked out some 3D prints, but couldnt really find anything for purchase as I do not have a 3D printer.

Please help?!

Signed, frustrated and frozen

Do I really need to elaborate?

Not meant in any sort of creepy way. I met a girl on an airplane and we had such a good time together, but i forgot to ask for any of her social media. Is there subreddit that can help me find her? Again not in any creepy way, i js really miss her

Took a few art history classes in college as my requirement as a graphic design major. Fell in love with it. Fell in love with museums, paintings from the 16-17 hundreds, but most of all I remember the sculptures. Probably Roman. Either way we discussed in detail the meaning and significance of them. That was over 10 years ago and I don’t remember anything I learned. Any subreddit like that?

I just really don’t want to see Claudisms on Reddit; I already see it enough IRL.

Apparently my AITA question is not allowed because I don’t name an adverse action I’m looking to take on the person who disagrees with me. I just want to ask a question to the public at large about whether I’m being reasonable or being a jerk. Where would I post that topic?

Need help finding the subreddit where I can ask what suitcase is recommended for travelling and if anyone can give me their real review on the current suitcases I have selected !!!

Buona sera mi potete aiutare x favore per fare una mezz'oretta di cyclette da casa x favore?

Wo kann ich hierfür Hilfe bekommen

I have read and wrote many of my sexual fantasies. I want to share them here. From a quick search I found some subs but it had to be actually true in past tense.

I've posted about this before, but the only real answer I got was "use AI." While AI can admittedly be helpful in a lot of cases, sometimes you need human intelligence and knowledge to figure things out.

Hello
Looking to share my relationship experiences with people that can share their experiences and help me reflect on how to improve and not make the same mistakes. I'm male and I did some stupid things, but I seem to be in a pattern. Don't want to be judged, so please no r/relationshipadvice or r/ToxicRelationships or something like that.

I have a disagreement in the colors assigned to school subjects with my wife, who will likely be here in the comments sabotaging me, and I just need a place to ask it in a preferably large and active sub so I can be clearly proven correct

I need to tidy my room and need some cheerleaders and encouragement because I really can’t be bothered.

Does anything like this exist?

I’m trying to avoid seeing my ex and friends on tinder, and so I want to block my contacts. Apparently this should be a feature on the app but it literally is not showing up on my app. I tried deleting and redownloading, still not working. I’m using iOS 26.7.1. iPhone 16. Idk what subreddit to post this in so I’m posting here. I posted in tinder sub but it got deleted. I have pics of my settings to show that it isn’t there but can’t attach pics to this post.
