/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I just...don't really feel welcome in my local comm. I've been to a few meets and, while everyone there is cordial, beyond one or two people a lot of them seem standoffish to the point that it feels like I'm an intruder in their space. Introductions go from a brief 'hi' to quickly going to talk to someone else. I've heard nothing but unsolicited compliments for my coords when someone mentions it, so I'm pretty sure it's not an ita thing - in fact, I'm almost certain it isn't, as the unfriendiness extends online. If I post anything, (which isn't too much different from what everyone else posts), it either goes ignored or, more recently, I end up with nonsensical emojis that feel passive aggressive. I haven't had the chance to talk to any of these people beyond trying to interact on nice posts and briefly at meets - I don't really understand if I did something wrong. I just want to meet and get to know people that share a love of lolita fashion, but if this is how it's going to be I don't know if I should even bother trying anymore and just stick to being a lonelita.

Does anyone else happen to have any issues ordering from Little Dipper's taobao directly? Every time I go to pay for something there's an error and the transaction closes with the message, 'did not pay in a timely manner'. This happened before when I was trying to pre-order a skirt, (to which they had the BEST customer service dealing with these issues).

All I want is a blouse, man...

Can someone post the ones of that weird fairy-kei girl? I need them but I can't find them

I'm so happy my boyfriend is into natural/woodsy style decor so at least I can slip in some nice mori/romantic/fairytale-esque wooden furniture and neutral colours. I'll never get my super gothy black velvet vampire boudoir but I can live with that, I think.

What do you guys do when someone who knows nothing about lolita wants to get you something as a present? Lolita and sewing are pretty much my only hobbies at the moment. My boyfriend really wants to give me a birthday present but the only things on my wishlist are brand (expensive), Taobao or indie/custom items (complicated to order from) or sewing materials (very specific). I figure the easiest thing would be to point him to an English brand site like IW’s and say “look, this is what I want” but I have no idea what his budget is here. I don’t want to make things awkward by asking for something that’s €200 with shipping and customs if he was only planning to spend €20 or so. I also don’t feel comfortable flat out asking what he’s willing to spend. I'd ask for something cheaper but those things are all from Taobao.

His hobbies are baking and cooking and he’s always talking about the things he’d like to have so when his birthday rolls around I always know what to get him. I feel bad for being so difficult.

>mfw no lolita waifu to go out with in ouji and share your passion for frilly shit
>mfw you'll never hug her in her frills and tell her how beautiful she is when she feels down and how her outfit is amazing
>mfw you'll never defend her despite your small size when someone is mean to her on the street
>mfw no one will ever force me to dress cute and get out my "dressing like a boy because i'm too insecure as a female" comfort zone
>mfw you'll never know the sacrifice of not buying things to surprise her with a pretty lolita item and be rewarded by her smile

Anyway I'll be poor even when i'll get a job (not going to mooch money from others) because of my illness so i doubt any lolita would ever love me if i'm not even able to offer them at least something like,say,a good lifestyle.
I'm a 5/10 girl at best (people told me i was a 7 but yeah) and my last relationship ended because my girlfriend was abusing me. I never had relationships besides this one and two other abusive relationships because I kept turning proposals down (i was too much of a loner before)

>studying for the summer for repeat exams instead of doing x amount of fun things
>no time to wear lolita
>friends are three hours away or out of the country
>haven't seen boyfriend since start of June and won't see him until mid-August
