Presales Engineer

This is a v non-grapevine question but Apple 15 Pro or Google Pixel 8 pro?

I've been flirting with the idea of getting a new phone. Had android all my life, so I'm kinda torn whether I should. People who switched from Android to Apple or vice versa, what's your take? :/

It's hard to date when you are mature for your age

I am 24, 5 10, a decent body, a good career and plenty of self love and mental peace. I wasn't like this earlier, but when I started accepting solace, desperation faded away, my mind became relaxed, respect for self came, and so I became masculine, with a mindset mature enough for emotional intelligence and problem solving. learnt flirting, without making it sexualised, just with an intention to make the person you appreciate, have a smile. I also learnt what I wanted in my partner, and definitely, her having her own peace with herself and her self love, so it's easier for me to know her as a person and love everything of her, starting from her flaws. I have never dated, but talked with women, led the conversation so well, they appreciated my clarity over things, and I didn't lead them on with false hopes and anything. I made my intent clear from day one, and sooner or later, one of the blockers of thoughts not aligning, caste, parents came which were out of control. So parting ways was easier, since instead of being like, let's go with flow, I wanted her to feel comfortable enough to share everything, and without emotions in the equation, there was no pain as such, just two adults mutually agreeing this will not work out. It takes time to know the other person. First of things to discuss is blockers, after everything is done, you can move to the dating stage. Dating stage is mostly about knowing the person emotionally. And after dating for a few months, you have full clarity to whether you wanna be in a relationship or not. I am a V and my reasoning is, I wanna do it with someone, where I have the intent and strength to marry her. Sex out of love, and not out of the heat of the moment or something. In Pune, I did got the chance for hookups and all, but I sided myself respectfully, because my morals weren't aligning. But, although somewhere I do feel, I might be too rigid with things, I have seen people finding partners, good ones, and have been in one proper relationship atleast. I agree, this world doesn't owe me a thing, and definitely not a guarantee to find someone. I am at content with my own company and peace of mind. If my future wife is reading this, I just wanna let you know, I am trying my best, and I will find you soon, just love yourself the way, I would have, if I was close to you.
