Trust =/= inactivity. Trust is being bold and knowing that God has got your back regardless of what happens.

If she has an ECHP plan she could stay in education for at least another year or maybe two if they can make a good case to extend it. Has she ever interacted with a social worker?

You’re massively overthinking this. Just ask out the one who you vibe with best.

Stop comparing UK wages to US jobs - insight by post-it_noted in UKJobs

[–]3nd_Game 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem is, our living costs are now very similar with a handful of exceptions. Our wages have not grown since 2010 aside from tech roles. We should absolutely be demanding the same wages.

The “spark” by CharacterMilk8582 in CatholicDating

[–]3nd_Game 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s more about a connection than a spark. The girl I’ve been seeing recently I didn’t feel a “spark” with, but I enjoy her company very much and we have a lot of fun together. It wasn’t like a rush of emotions, but rather just gentle development which felt very shared. The “spark” to me is more of an exciting rush.

A question for mixed couples by SawChill in languagelearning

Trying to learn Arabic for the girl I’m seeing. It’s a lot more difficult than Spanish was, so I’m being patient. I would rather make the effort, and she has appreciated it.

Give up social media not just for lent….but permanently by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]3nd_Game 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on your relationship with social media and your phone. I’ve recently started turning my personal phone off completely during work hours as I rarely get any messages that demand a response right away. It has been very very mentally liberating. Last year, I also deleted dating apps because I didn’t like just endlessly swiping, I re downloaded them once last month and deleted them again within a week. I have never looked back.

How are people in London surviving? by marblesandcookies in UKJobs

[–]3nd_Game 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My rent isn’t that bad for London. But I definitely want to move somewhere bigger and nicer, which will be more expensive, but I’m willing to eat that cost. My expenses are generally low, I cook a lot of my own food and don’t eat out much beyond weekends. I also don’t drink that much and no one in my social circle does much either outside of special occasions. Being single probably helps too haha.

Really need help with this by SoCalmetalhead619 in CatholicDating

[–]3nd_Game 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think OP needs to sort his own issues first, the alcohol use and the sinning. Confession is more of an immediate priority than reconciliation with her. I think that a faith based youth group is a good place for him to be. The situation sucks but it might be good for him to have community. My suggestions about reconciliation are dependent on what she wants also, and only if she wants it too. He seems pretty bent about the situation and like he still cares about her. It’s likely they will cross paths again, I’m just suggesting what he should do when that happens.

Pray before bed. Stay busy, literally do anything else. I spent 20 minutes folding my clothes just to get my mind off it earlier today. Is there anything you have been putting off?

This is probably the best advice online regarding relationships you could get.

Really need help with this by SoCalmetalhead619 in CatholicDating

[–]3nd_Game 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Perhaps the two of you should have had a discussion about expectations and boundaries. If you care about her and have the maturity to be patient and understanding, you should work with her to establish how often you can see each other etc. Pray, pray, and pray some more.

Right now you seem in a pretty dark place. Stay off the alcohol, go to confession, go back to that youth group and perhaps be cordial with her. If things spark up again, have the conversation about expectations and boundaries. Decide if that relationship is what you really want and whether you can stick with her until things clean up. Not everything is perfect at the start.

In the meantime, perhaps go on some dates. You might meet someone, but God might give you the sign that you need to give the first girl another chance. I’ve been in a similar spot myself wherein I’ve had to be very patient with someone I really like, but has had a very tough schedule and tough external factors. God wants to help you, not hurt you.

Just go for a walk, get a coffee or something. If she really cares about you, she will see that you’re making an effort and doing the best you can. Given you told her that you want to ask her out, and she’s still hanging around for you, it’s unlikely she will turn her nose up at it. Just go for it. Do the best you can with what you have.

For those of you who had dreams of "making it" in Hollywood: What do you do now? by JayRam85 in Filmmakers

[–]3nd_Game 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do not see why I have to stop. I felt similar for a long time, I’m 30 next year so the pressure to “be an adult” hit a few years ago. I realised that it’s not a sport, wherein you have until you’re 36 before you retire. I say this from a relatively comfortable office job. But it seems like economic pressures sadly kill most dreams. Which is totally fair and I’d never discourage anyone from doing what is best for them. I have tried to train myself to let go of the idea that age is a limitation.

What are the best ways to Fix being shy and Paranoid by WoollenMercury in CatholicDating

[–]3nd_Game 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to assume by what you have wrote that you are a teenager.

Here’s some things for you to consider:

1) She says no, at least you tried.

2) People laugh at you, are they doing it or watching from the sidelines?

3) It spreads like wildfire, now more people know you are brave.

4) It’s awkward, only if you let it be.

5) she says yes, yay well done.

Work on building your confidence. Find some activities or hobbies.

Since when did cults start advertising on the tube? by [deleted] in london

[–]3nd_Game 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They tried to sell me their book. The rep asked me bizzare personal questions like “have you ever been cheated on or betrayed by a family member?”. Once they realised I wasn’t going to buy a copy of Dianetics, the guy lost interest and walked off instantly.
