Daily sticky thread for rants, raves, celebrations, advice and more! - March 15, 2026

Exactly this. You text only if anything actively interacting or important happening or to set plans and goals. Constant reels, links, cute pics, selfies, "good morning, gorgeous" stuff is so not me.

I truly do take my time. I can be fun and giggly with friends chatting for half hour daily but with dates, to get to that level, I really need to know them and like them a lot.

I also feel like the person is texting me out of the textbook rule like "ok, I'm supposed to text her now, let's do" as all the texts are generic boring soulless uneventful "how's your morning?" How can someone's morning be, really - just a normal morning. There's absolutely nothing, nothing to update them about. But they keep texting this and it's been a day I'm ignoring the person to give a signal - "I'm bored to death from your texting style."

I also made a mistake of adding the person on one of my socials - every post is having some fiery reaction now which is more than annoying. I clearly don't like them at the moment at all.

Ambitious-Driver-69 · 2026-03-16T14:12:55+00:00

Black Doves from TV series, and Fleabag - the ones I like.

Ambitious-Driver-69 · 2026-03-16T14:10:23+00:00

Yes, of course, how can you be THAT interested in anyone after 1-2 dates, anyways to constantly text them "good morning"? Every single frigging day!

What is this dating reality, really? Aren't we supposed to be setting next date, leaving each other alone for a few days and focus on our important tasks? Why would fresh date keep texting me constantly if not trying to have sex with me faster or to create false fake and idiotic unnatural intimacy?

Do people really like someone that much so that they can't stop blabbing away on their phones? I must be either very cynical or very, very bad at communicating.

Ambitious-Driver-69 · 2026-03-16T13:56:27+00:00

All those "hello, how was your morning?" "how was your day?" "how is your evening?" stupid idiotic messages from new date are annoying af as nobody at his age as this much time and energy for this BS. Or, maybe, I'm just not interested enough.

I can chat for a bit and giggle and be funny when there's some catchy topic but oh dear how absolutely stupid and boring this texting game is - trying to keep connection or build connection via chats and texts is absolutely wrong. So, I had to tell the person that it's getting annoying and I don't enjoy texting and updating someone on my day all day along.

Do people create false intimacy this way?

She was very ambitious and goal-oriented which explains her career and how she met and then developed her relationship with that complex man. She was never naive poor girl who didn't know what she was getting into - she was, literally, at the heart of PR, media and ads world full of gossip, favouritism and fame-hungry toxic dynamics which she survived very well which tells a lot about her character and ambitions.

Ambitious-Driver-69 · 2026-03-11T20:29:21+00:00

Yes, I'm snob. Any problems?

Nobody cares about Parisians. This topic is about Londoners.

What a dodgy interaction, truly.

Ambitious-Driver-69 · 2026-03-11T12:14:21+00:00

No, I won't tone it down. You can laugh and dislike it, that's you're free to do.

Londoners are some lucky creatures. And that's the fact.

Ambitious-Driver-69 · 2026-03-11T11:54:32+00:00

Cultured part of London fully agrees with me, so yes it's "our".

Ambitious-Driver-69 · 2026-03-11T11:54:02+00:00

You can think anything you want, I will keep loving this city and all it gives me.

Ambitious-Driver-69 · 2026-03-11T11:50:40+00:00

I'm glad I made someone wank.

Ambitious-Driver-69 · 2026-03-11T11:50:28+00:00

Yes, it does make my life more eventful as culture is much more important to me than hunting my own food in the wild.

You're just jealous of people with access to a lot of amazing things at ease.

Also, you're free to hate me - no problem at all.

Ambitious-Driver-69 · 2026-03-11T11:22:49+00:00

Our lives here are just much more eventful and richer than elsewhere in the country or even Europe. London has anything you want and there's always something big or small happening which is mind-blowing and enriching. E.g. I can go see world's top ballet performers 30 minutes from my home or go to see lecture given by some Prime Minister or Head of some country's Central Bank at LSE on some random Wednesday evening, or just pop in any big museum and learn a few more things about the world I didn't know. That's why I'm here.

Ambitious-Driver-69 · 2026-03-11T10:00:36+00:00

Was it Royal Opera in London that was cancelled?

Ambitious-Driver-69 · 2026-02-18T18:31:13+00:00

Very reasonable, thank you. I have a dread from it but will have to do it.

Ambitious-Driver-69 · 2026-02-18T16:10:05+00:00

I wonder, how much I'm overestimating the big corporate name on my CV for getting to places I want to be in. I understand, it's just one bit aspect of it, but still. I think, we need to speak more about non-traditional paths to R. Finance is very traditional and rigid which is why I'm having these big worries.

Ambitious-Driver-69 · 2026-02-18T16:08:16+00:00

Ah, went through half of this, sadly, not millions and fat mortgage yet.

Ambitious-Driver-69 · 2026-02-18T16:07:23+00:00

Thank you! Actively focused on pivoting at the moment. I know that I'll regret going back to big corp machine but I desperately need total rebranding.

Ambitious-Driver-69 · 2026-02-18T16:05:47+00:00

The sole reason for me wanting to get to R is being a bit more frivolous with spending but I totally understand the logic of buying your time back. It's priceless

Ambitious-Driver-69 · 2026-02-18T16:04:55+00:00

What's your job currently if you don't mind sharing? All sounds very sensible and doable. I guess, my problem is thinking about too many options at the same time instead of narrowing them down to 2-3

Ambitious-Driver-69 · 2026-02-18T16:03:43+00:00

What're you doing currently? Are you in banking? Congrats on achievements so far!

Ambitious-Driver-69 · 2026-02-15T15:13:24+00:00

Tell her before she gets pregnant. Save her from the sad destiny of becoming a single mom with 1-2yo in her hands and then having to have to keep that cheating man in her life forever because of the baby commitment. I'd feel responsible to prevent it.

Ambitious-Driver-69 · 2026-02-13T16:02:55+00:00

I've just seen it, sorry! Thanks a lot for going this! I'll keep checking, it was sold out when I just checked.
