how do i buy from a liquor store?

32 Upvotes

hi all, i turn 21 in 2 weeks and have never purchased alcohol before. none of my friends are 21 yet so i’ll be heading to the liquor store alone. i guess my question is how do i behave 😭 will they think it’s suspicious if im wandering around trying to orient myself and decide what i want? any other tips? also, my ID will still be valid but wont be renewed to the other orientation that shows i’m 21 - will that be a problem?

ps. if you have any tips for ordering at a bar feel free to include that too :) thanks!

Hi all! I recently moved into my new apartment—yay!—and don’t know the steps I should take to update my address. Where do I need to update it? How do I go about updating it? What do I need to update it?

I’m located in the USA, if that helps clarify any processes! Thank you!!

How do I online date?

7 Upvotes

I feel kinda pathetic even asking, but basically the title. I (40, trans guy) know the logistics, I’ve done it before a few years ago. But I have a really hard time connecting with dating profiles. I’ve been in love with 3 people in my life, and they’re all people I’ve known irl and formed an in-person connection with. How do people look at dating profiles and, well… feel anything? Even curiosity?

I’m recently-ish single (4 months ago) but ready to get out there and try again. I’m at the age where most of friends are happily married with kids, and I’m ready to have some version of that life too. It seems like online dating may just genuinely not be my thing, but options in my area are pretty limited, and I don’t know any other way to meet someone, especially being a trans guy - it feels like it really narrows the pool of options especially because it’s hard to tell from a profile if they’re even open to dating someone trans.

So, like, how do you donut? Those of you who’ve found love on a dating app, what advice do you have?
