Logged back on to say my goodbyes. It really sucks to see this happen. Like many others here, PGP was a huge part of keeping me sane during work, and the community was like no other. I really will miss PGP, and all of the great content to come out of it. I’d be interested to see where a lot of the main writers end up.
DMB is truly great music for any situation and mood. I’m unashamed to say that if I had to choose one band or singer to listen to for the rest of my life, it would be DMB.
I like your last line about letting things work out. But as a girl, are you really advocating that I be the one to bring up the boyfriend question to the guy I’m seeing?
I’m in a similar situation. I don’t place a lot of value on the day and neither does he (I finally bit the bullet and asked him this weekend about it), so we are at the very least going to just hang out that night. I don’t want him to feel pressure about it since we are in the newer relationship stage. But I also hate that deep down I maintain some slight desire for something, even if it’s flowers.
It is definitely not the former, but I’m also not generalizing them all as lying idiots. I’ve just had too many recent experiences where I’ve detected bullshit or dishonesty that it’s hard to get past that. I’m definitely working on putting out a more open and trusting vibe like VUmobile mentions below, and try my best to give a guy the benefit of the doubt. I realize talk is cheap and I’d prefer to watch a guy’s actions that will show me that I can trust him.
I tend to take most of what a guy says with a grain of salt…it is really hard for me to trust what they are saying, which leads to problems when it comes to dating and me being able to open up to them. I know I am being over-protective of myself, but I just wonder at what point can you really believe what a guy is telling you. How do you really ever know? This article proves my point, I think.
“It makes me feel like we’re real people communicating instead of texting all the time” Yes THIS. If we can’t hang out this week for whatever reason, a simple phone call makes you seem more real and like we are actually communicating. I’m all in on phone calls.
Really needed this no-nonsense advice today. I’ve been engaging in texting games, sometimes consciously or unconsciously, with a guy I’ve been seeing for a few months now. I think people (myself included) tend to take it way too personally if the person does not respond right away or goes a few days without saying anything- we simply don’t know what could be going on in their lives or what they are thinking. It’s easier to just text the way you want to text and be done with it. Easier said than done, though.
It’s always the same twee shit intended to make these bloggers look relatable and quirky. No one cares about your anecdotes. I didn’t know writing a food blog meant you had to simultaneously make it a personal diary also.
I’m in a similar predicament right now with seeing 2 guys (minus the moving away part) but not being exclusive. You hit the nail on the head with the feelings that come with this- I want the guy to only want to date me, because if he’s cool with us seeing other people then I feel less wanted.

The Home Alone house has and always will be timeless to me. Cozy, warm, and classic.
Apparently studies show that not using “haha” at the end of a sentence, or using it at the beginning of a sentence, makes you appear more confident

Never before have I felt such an urgency for a weekend getaway to a BNB than I have after reading this article.
Fruity Pebbles is my childhood MVP. They taste great plain, in treat form, and they leave the best milk behind.

I like a 9 pm dinner, but 10 pm is pushing it for me.

I was about to say, maybe he should avoid Tito’s and Clarendon Ballroom if he’s 30+….
This was touching. Music can be painfully nostalgic at times but also nostalgic in a euphoric way.
Agree 100%. You can buy thin mint dupes from other brands year round, hence why Samoas are more special.
I’m in the exact same boat, except we both seem to be dancing around the exclusivity question and it’s driving me insane.
That’s cruel.
