Single girl: this is going to sound cliche as fuck, but the best thing you can do is better yourself. The holidays are only a few months a year, but being in a relationship is a 24/7/365 commitment. The best way to have a good relationship is by working on yourself and getting rid of all the negative crap that sinks relationships, which we all have to various degrees.
Some people take a while to realize what qualities they need to improve (see my earlier comment about myself), some realize it quickly, while some never realize it and find themselves divorced with two kids at 40. The sooner you figure out what you have to improve, the better you’ll be once you do find yourself with a significant other.
I couldn’t agree more. After my last break-up, I took a long and hard (giggity) look at my previous failed relationships and realized that there was only one true common denominator: me. So I set out to figure out what I did wrong and how to not do something wrong in my future relationship (hoping there would only be one more).
I’ve been implementing these changes in my current relationship and she hasn’t run away thus far, so I think I’m on the right track.
I don’t live there anymore and aren’t single (otherwise, I probably would say “sup”). But from my and my friends’ experience down there, it’s really hard to date.
Mora may have been fired on his 56th birthday, but he’ll be okay given his $12 million buyout. Hell, I wouldn’t mind being fired on my 27th birthday for 10% of that.
It’s definitely due to technology in general and social media in particular. Find me a 25 year-old at home on a Saturday night scrolling through Instagram and Facebook and I’ll bet you money he/she is feeling anxious and depressed. For the first time in the history of humankind, we are exposed to large portions of the population and only see their positive experiences, but not their negative ones. This leads us to conclude that most people only have good things going on in their lives and makes us even more upset about the negatives that we experience.
Hang in there, it gets better. I’ve been there and fully empathize with you. I hope that your therapist is teaching you to deal with the anxiety and depression and keeping them manageable; Prozac is good for the short time but you probably don’t want to be reliant on it forever.
I’ve mentioned this on PGP before, but look into getting EMDR treatment. It works wonders and I would probably still be dealing with my issues today if I hadn’t gotten it.
The only time I’ll ever hit the last milestone is when I’m 88 and old and senile. Until then, I will forever continue pooping with the door closed. No disturbs my privacy during my time on the throne.
Yeah but Lucia is a grown adult as well and has agency over her own decisions. Clearly moving across the country with no prospects of a job or and a broken lease isn’t the best of decisions, and probably one that was made in the passion of the moment without much serious thinking, but Jack didn’t put a gun to Lucia’s head and force her to do that.
Disagree. If one person in a relationship makes substantially more than the other, it makes sense to allocate rent (and other expenses) proportionally. You’re now sharing a life together, not merely doing “my stuff, your stuff.”
I beg to differ. Was at a wedding this past weekend. At the reception, we were separated into tables of 12, with various 750 ml bottles of hard alcohol per table (vodka, whiskey, tequila, etc.). Me, my girlfriend and my three cousins split two 750 ml bottles of tequila. It was a fantastic wedding and we woke up without a sliver of a hangover.

If only more girls in LA were like you, dating there would suck a little less.
You forgot the “give your forearm a workout” move.

I think it’s because you’re in Texas. In California, you’d be lucky if you can get any decent individual coverage for under $200/month.

If this shindig as a PGP writer doesn’t end up working out, you’d make a great psychologist.

Moral of the story: learn to drink, deFries.
I legitimately never understood the concept of sending dick picks when trying to hook up with a girl.

Whoops it was mentioned. Must’ve read over that. I’ll take the L.
Not mentioning the Paris Agreement seems like a missed opportunity.
