Search Results: should i ask him out again

The guy I like is deployed. I ask for the address to send a package & he didn’t cause he “doesn’t need anything”. I think he sees buying & shipping as a burden or something he’d have to reciprocate. Obviously I want to treat & spoil him with no desire for anything back. He’s extremely selfless & never invests in himself. I’m trying to respect his boundaries but I’m wondering if I should encourage him to give me the address again or let it go?

Greetings old friends. I'm super tired and the thought of explaining this properly is a lot, so apologies. 2000 characters disappering...

My bathroom exhaust fan was a bit noisier than usual when I turned it on today.
I figured I'd vacuum it, remove some dust. I've done this once before.

Told my husband, asked him 1. If he thought that white 'fluff' stuff might be mould, or if it was just dust (we both decided not mould), and 2. What brush he thought I should use. (He's way too into cleaning, and I am not, so I asked. Big mistake.

All I was asking for was advice. Instead, he took the entire fan housing out of the ceiling. To vacuum it. He unscrewed, unplugged.
When he finished and plugged it all back in, it was broken. Won't turn on.

Please advise what he did wrong. And fuck being democratic or pussyfooting around. Tell me straight. He's historically overconfident when it comes to repairs, especially with things electrical. He almost started an electrical fire before. He works in IT. He's arrogant about other skills like home repair.

He did not turn the breaker off when removing it, nor remove the timer switch piece.

Below the fan timer switch, there is a notch I noticed. It can be pulled out to deactivate the switch. He did not do this. The lights no longer come on, on the timer. We can compare it to the same model timer in our 2nd bathroom, which does have lights on permanently, even when not turned on.

He then completely removed the fan. He plugged it into a regular wall outlet, and it powers on. So, the fan is operational.
But when installed back into the ceiling, it receives no power.
He checked the outlet on the fan, and it shows no current, or not 120 V. It reads 0. xx.

Did he somehow fry the timer switch? How? Can we fix the problem by replacing the timer? We have the same model in the 2nd bathroom.

The fans are cheap, not more than $50, maybe. What I'm concerned about is he doesn't know what he did, and he may do it again, if we replace parts.

Should I be turned off by my online friend? Or am I overthinking this? So I’ve had an online friend for a few years and he started wishing me a happy birthday every year after we got to know each other a little better. There were times where he would & I wouldn’t, when that were the case, he’d follow up a few days or maybe a week after saying I forgot it was his birthday (more subtly). Last year, he wished me a happy belated & this year I decided to also be more laid back. I just asked him if he had a good birthday maybe a day or two after it actually happened, I sent him that message after he followed up with me about something else. He leaves me on read yet continues to view my IG stories. This has always been the case, he’s always one of the first to see my stories but may go weeks without msging me. A few years back, he’d literally go weeks without replying but will be the first person to see my stories or comment. But when I’d take long to get back to him, he’d *jokingly* say that I’m ignoring him or ask if I’m busy. Honestly I don’t feel like I did anything wrong so I don’t see the need to reach out, it just seems hypocritical. You can be busy but I can’t? He hasn’t made a comment like that in years & his response time has gotten better but it’s been almost 5 months & I haven’t heard from him. I have a tendency to delete people when my frustration has built up, I don’t know if it’s an avoidant personality style trait. But he’s the only “friend” I have so I want to think this through. It’s not looking too good & I’m feeling tempted to ignore him if he reaches out again or remove him from IG soon if I don’t hear back before then. I don't know if this indicates anything but after taking online quizzes, I came back as DA and he came back as FA.
