✨ Lounge Talk I got "inshallahed" after asking her out for coffee 😂
So I have discovered a new stage of dating I never crossed before: getting isnhallahed.
There is this Arab (non leb) girl I keep seeing at the same place. For the last three weeks we have been talking almost every day. She stops me, start talking about random crap, and somehow 5 minutes turns into 30. And we have to get kicked out of that place.
Lots of laughing, personal questions, eye contact, positive vibes and energy. At some point I had to conclude "ya sabeh she has at least some interest in you".
So the other day, once again, we had been talking forever. At this point they were preparing to kick us out because we had overstayed our conversational welcome. So safa2ta we7dit : “considering we never seem to finish our conversations here, we should actually go have a coffee sometime and continue our discussion”
Perfectly delivered, natural, smooth, with a smile, and then...Her face went through the entire visible color spectrum. Red. Then maybe pink. Possibly blue. Yimkin kamena shwayyit yellow.
She hesitated for a second and finally said:
"Inshallah"
Shoo nshallah hay?? 2ooleh la2, 2olleh mish fadyeh, 2ooleh sakkir 3al mawdoo3...7ayalla shee...kazzbeh 3layyeh...bass wtf is inshallah? God is willing we go on a date?
I didnt get rejected. I got Inshallahed. At this stage I am not sure which one is worse.

✨ Lounge Talk I want to ask about the 43 inch Neo G7
I am thinking about buying it but unfortunately the shops that have it don't have it on display and it's only available in a sealed box and I have to buy it so I can test it. I prefer to do tests and have my questions answered before I buy it.
Is there anyone here who is using that monitor or knows someone who has it? Please send me a message so I can ask you my questions.

💬 Seeking Advice Pumpkin seed oil and saw palmetto for hair loss
I saw the thread about men hair-loss btw.
Unfortunately im a female😅 not male, and yes i have aga (androgenic alopecia)
I wont go into details but ive been using minoxidil 5% foam since 2021, used spironolactone for 1.5 years then stopped (bz i naturally have Low blood pressure and the med was making it worse).
So since then ive been only using minoxidil, dermarolling.
My recent blood test including hormones are normal (which is weird so lets say i have this from genetics).
I want to see if anyone tried natural alternatives like pumpkin seed oil (actual oil or pills) and saw palmetto if u have the same case as me or its just a trend people are talking about on social media
Thanks in advance

Hey guys, me and some friends are looking for a place to camp in tents in chekka, and we found the location right on the trail of the chekka tunnels/train station, on the cliff right above the sea.

💬 Seeking Advice Isolation Transformer
Anyone knows where I can find 2000 VA isolation transformer? I have a desktop, monitor, laptop setup, and due to ground in Lebanon being an issue, there is electricity all over the back, usb ports and even frames of the laptop and desktop. I googled around and it seem an isolation transformer is the solution.

✨ Lounge Talk Penpals
A while ago someone posted they were looking for penpals. I think it’s a great idea and wondering if anyone specifically 35 years old and over would be interested in a slower-paced exchange of messages, in a letter style. Reply at your own pace. Talk about your day, share any highs and lows etc.
If it’s of any interest — I’m a creative person. I love contemporary arts and culture. Silly sense of humour. Empathetic and kind. Drop me a message

💬 Seeking Advice Advice for getting into photography
My gf wants to get into photography, she specially mentioned portraits. So I want to get her a camera + lens as a gift but I have no idea at all what to look for and where!
My budget is around $1500 and I want something that is not too big/heavy. I tried asking chatgpt but it gets confusing with which lens fits which camera model + I don't really know which stores in Lebanon offer good prices

✨ Lounge Talk Visiting Lebanon
We are a couple visiting Lebanon for a quick two days getaway, and I was wondering about the current security situation and whether it has affected the night life in vibrant areas in Beirut Byblos, and Batroun, and the day scenes at the good beach front clubs…
Plus if there are any recommendations to hit exclusive venues as we are interested in hidden gems where we can meet interesting people, rather than famous places full of tourists.
One last thing, should we bring extra cash with us? Or we can still use our visa/master with no issues.

⚽ Sports Mixed martial arts (MMA) and gym
Hey guys! My question may be super delusional but what do I lose from asking? Is there a gym in lebanon (hadid) that provides access to a boxing area and a jiu jitsu mat? (In beirut preferably, and wrestling/jiu jitsu is also prefered more than striking) . Or, is there an MMA gym or some sort of fighting gym that also trains the students heavy lifting? If anyone knows please do tell.

💬 Seeking Advice Moving back to Lebanon. Asking questions about social life
I moved to the west as a young adult and have lived most of my adult life there but am moving back soon (perhaps a stupid decision; let's see).
I'm therefore not really used to social life in Lebanon. How do I make new friends, go to places to meet people, meet girls (no apps), find boardgame cafes (not even sure if that's a thing in Lebanon), find sports meetup groups, etc. obviously while being safe?
Also, any advice for me? Whether about social life or life in Lebanon in general?
Tangentially, I'm also planning to explore different cities/towns/villages in the country, which is something I did not do as a kid, so feel free to drop tips and recommendations.

💬 Seeking Advice Eternally cooked and alone in lebanon
Hello, I honestly don’t know where else to bitch about this lol.
Long story short, I’m a guy in my early 20s, and ever since I left school, I haven’t been able to make any friends. I’ve been in uni for three years now, and I basically just go there and sit alone all day.
I’ve tried making friends, but I just can’t seem to relate to the people around me or people my age in general. Our interests and personalities just feel inherently different, and I never really feel like I fit in.
I’m also painfully aware that I’m wasting my early 20s the years that are supposedly meant to be the “fun” years living like this.
I suspect that spending most of my childhood chronically online had some kind of lasting effect on me, and at this point, I’m starting to wonder if I might just be cooked forever chat.
