More than once, the office staff has not known how to process me.
Yeah, funny how some people can’t simply opt-out gracefully. They have to blow something up so there’s a justification in their mind.
In situations like these, or when I’m pretty obviously being elimi-dated (I’m stealing that, BTW), I channel my inner Mark Baum from The Big Short. No, I don’t say it out loud. https://video.nostr.build/cbbde2dd72afd6bfef360d8a9527c682a070e708711e441520cd102197d9335a.mp4
For sure. It’s amazing how people show and tell us who they are, if only we’ll listen. Admittedly, I had to fight the urge to jump into savior mode (as if). Thank god for the lessons of therapy. I was not surprised by the self-immolation that shortly followed.
🤣 She’s a riot.
I had a sweet girl who had overcome a lot and made a lot of progress in life say to me, on a third date, “Eh, I’ll probably fuck this up. I always fuck up the good ones.” It was really sad she thought about herself that way.
The arranged-marriage societies may be on to something.
Aww, what a great story. And perspective. I love hearing about that kind of thing from older people, and thinking about how they were once our age, having the same experiences and feelings.
Yes, I can see how compromise is a part of things. It’s also hard to know where to compromise and where to keep looking. I suppose physical attraction and communication—kissing is sorta like physical, emotional communication in my book—are in the category of things you don’t want to overlook if it’s not happening for you. It’s not about being picky, it’s about being honest with yourself and your kissing partner. 😘
Is it? I often I worry I’m being sorta picky, but it is the rest of my life we’re taking about here. 🤷♂️
It’s a dealbreaker for me when the girl is a bad kisser. 🤷♂️
The bathroom mirror selfies. Always the bathroom mirror selfies. 🤦♂️🤣😉
This is a good idea.
My grandpa had a jar labeled “not smoking is going to make me rich” into which he put the money he used to spend on cigs. He maybe saved enough for a vacation. In your case, if you stacked it, it just might work.
