This cracked me up. But honestly as a frequent flier myself, if you expect your flight to go well, you’re nuts. Plan for delays. Get the early flights. Be aware of the time of year you’re flying. Aisle seats toward the front of the plane or bust. And don’t even get me started on people who refuse to carry on luggage. Catch me laid up with my venti Starbucks coffee & a good book on my iPad… or at the nearest airport bar. No worries.
I don’t really agree with the different levels. I guess they exist but I’ve been cheated on before and to me it’s all the same betrayal that I don’t have time for. I’d dump his ass so fast his head would spin. Onto the next one.
Maybe I’m lame but I love motivational quotes. Many are cheesy but the good ones really do stick with me. Work, life, relationships… they’re all tough and sometimes if you’ve got the right mantra in your head, it helps you keep on keeping on.
I disagree with this. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve lost interest in a guy based on personality traits that are perfectly fine, just not my preference, and vice versa. Sometimes yeah, people break up because someone was rude or lazy or had bad habits or whatever. But many times it’s just basic compatibility issues that are out of our control… which is probably why dating is so frustrating.
1. Thank you for giving me the exact perfect breakup words for the guy who’s perfectly fine I’m just not attracted to. I’ve been trying to figure out what to say because he didn’t do anything wrong.
2. I think it depends. If you’re calling this person your boyfriend/girlfriend and it’s are no longer in the “getting to know you” phase I think you should do it in person. You may not see anything further with them but at one point you did and out of respect for them unless they did something crazy, the least you could do is show up. I don’t get making it into a dinner or anything like that. But telling them you need to talk and you’ll be over soon (reduces shock value… the we need to talk is a shitty text to get BUT better than being caught completely off guard. I will defend this to the death) and then going to their house to tell them you’re breaking up is the way to go. That way they can deal with their emotions in the privacy of their own home. I’ve been broken up like this twice and obviously break ups suck but I know the guys did it in the most respectful way possible and can’t fault them for it.
Yeah my family is literally crazy and still torture me about my high school boyfriends. It would be a cold day in hell before I brought I casual date to a family wedding.
Depends on the couple. One of my former roommates had her boyfriend move in and he was insanely respectful and always recognized that us girls lived there first. He even cooked half the time (something I still am not excellent at). I wasn’t thrilled about it at first but overall I really didn’t mind living with him. But if you know it’s gonna be an uncomfortable situation I’d just straight up tell her. It wasn’t your original agreement and she should be understanding. If she’s not, I’d have a huge problem with her.
Sorry to break it to you but no way this is an accurate indicator. Girls who wear their hair down at the gym are either nuts, or just not there to work out.
Agreed x 100. Insecurity is so unattractive for both sexes. Rock it, embrace it. You’re a new man now. Sure there will be girls who aren’t into it but there will be plenty who are. We know it’s something you can’t control and it’s not something we think about beyond the first time we meet you.
Gym guy – do you know her name yet? Like do you make small talk at all? If not I’d time your exit so you can hold the door for her on the way out or something and be like h
“Hey, I always see you here and think it’s kind of crazy I don’t even know your name yet. I’m _____.” Now next time you see her you can say hi and make small talk and work your way toward a date. I think that is very non-creepy and would respond well to it if a guy did this to me.
Yeah I guess you both have a point. I had Bumble for about a month and then I deleted it because I would spend time trying to be creative just to get no response or end up on a date with someone who was super rude or very strange. Not to mention all my good friends are in serious relationships and push me toward every single guy they come across. It’s all just way too much and it’s just not fun anymore.
I think no matter how you slice it dating is just the worst. It’s exhausting and disappointing and I’ve learned to just never get my hopes up. Sucks that in my early 20’s I’ve become this way but I’m honestly just over it.

Also confused as to why it’s just one.

Sup? Oh wait…

Submarining is so real though. Weird word, but guys always come back. I’ve never once had a guy not come back eventually.
I drink coffee after dinner… but that’s because I work night shift. So. Otherwise I don’t get it.

Well, if that’s what floats your boat.

Exactly what I was just thinking. Congrats on the future sex.
SAME
If only more guys understood this.
