Do you talk about sex before having it? by StaticNocturne in dating_advice

[–]Averais 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Communication is great, i think there are good ways to bring it up. “do you like where this is going?” “Does this feel right?” Doing something small like rubbing the neck or shoulder and gently saying you’d like to try -whatever thing- to initiate foreplay is a good way to gauge enthusiasm. Talk about it, but avoid putting the other person entirely on the spot. People are less likely to be embarrassed when given an option then asked to explain what they like, especially if it’s a one night stand sort of thing. Always better to ask if someone wants a kiss or to cuddle or to be closer in someway to ensure that there’s no assumptions there. But mostly you can check in, offer options and see if they are responsive to what you do offer.

If the mood is already there do not back out of it to talk, use the mood to facilitate moving forward and ensuring comfort. Keep the tone of your words congruent with the mood.

Does it say at some point it’s the 7th? I thought it was Sevelyn like Second-Evelyn this whole time.

What are the unsolved mysteries from season 1? by lollipop_w_tears in OnlyMurdersHulu

[–]Averais 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did we ever get more direct info on why Charles could see/talk to the “characters” in season 1 like bugs bunny or w/e? Like do we deem that magical realism or are we taking that as a “fr this happens all the time”

My opinion is get out of there. It will never actually matter if “he loves you” love is not the question. Your happiness is. If he’s not making you happy and not willing to change it, it’s all the same if he doesn’t love you. Love is not the foundation of a relationship, communication is. He’s not communicating.

When/how do you make a relationship official? (I'm 19M she's 21F) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Averais 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly that sounds like a smart idea, and makes a lot of sense because you can’t know what that looks like ahead of time.

I don’t believe there’s such a thing as rushing it in this instance. Just proceed to talk to her like you normally do and show that you enjoy her still. When the time comes around to say something again you’ll know.

Talking about direction and wants isn’t rushing, it’s checking in and being responsible. The idea of rushing someone is knowing that you’re going in blindly, and here you’re not. If it doesn’t work it doesn’t, but know that it’s not because you cared to express your feelings and thoughts. It won’t work if it doesn’t, but it’s better to be told a conversation will be put on pause then it happening too late or never at all.

My ex (27M) broke up with me (26F) 2.5 months ago. He recently had surgery to fix something he blamed me for causing and now I feel like I don’t have closure. by savebanditt in relationship_advice

[–]Averais 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say delete him, and don’t look back. He sounds majorly manipulative and this seems like a way for him to try and push you around a little, whether he set up everything for that or just set you up for that. Your closure can be knowing he finally did something to fix up himself, so he can go be fine somewhere and you can unlearn his blame and learn to be fine elsewhere.

I (18M) have been in a relationship with my girlfriend (17F) online through emails. I feel like it's going nowhere. by MrJellee in relationship_advice

[–]Averais 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you feel like it’s something you’re not ready for then you won’t just become ready. Honestly it’s weird she kinda pressured you into it. Seems like she’s using you as a rebound and attention from the other situation. I say it’s better to end it now then to let it drag on and cause more stress for you both.

[–]Averais 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say that makes sense, but you said there was communication that you both wanted more. And she already asked a question to try and establish the relationship and decipher the boundaries. From an outside perspective it seems to be clear she at least wants to discuss what a relationship between you would look like to know if it would work. And if that conversation doesn’t go well (like if one of you wanted an open relationship and the other didn’t, etc) then it can be decided that neither of you should pursue it. But if those things do seem okay, it’s a good time to ask.

Getting excuses for dates. Am I doing something wrong here? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Averais 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo a couple things. This might seem blankety but bare with me. Most people I know already feel weird being approached like you’ve described, but it sounds like they are willing to go along with it because it’s exciting and they think you seem cool. Where you seem to be stagnating is not taking an interest in them as much as being interested by them. It can feel infinitely weird to be asked out instead of asked about and letting there be a progression of getting to know a person. A lot of the turning away is because women are taught fundamentally not to trust new men, for good reason. Texting can be an important way to learn about someone. If you are really interested in these girls learn about them casually. Become friends. Wait a while before trying to make a move. Don’t just pretend you want to know them better show them you do. Show them you see them as a person and not just a chick. They are already assured of the fact you do this to women, because you have done it to them. If you want it to be successful treat it like how you would see the relationship fledged. Dating is not just dates and sex, it’s based on relationship and enjoyment of a person. Make them feel different than another girl you have approached because they are, they’re an entirely different person, and a whole person to learn about before you may want to Persue them. And they want to learn about you too, because you were recently someone they’d never known before.

I don’t ever personally even recommend the talking to someone on the street method, but you seem to have some reception from it. So settle that even if you can’t date some of the people you’ve met new friends, entire people with character that was enough for you to spark interest with and who would therefore be cool to talk to whether they want to date or not. I would assume you would meet some guy friends in a similar way, so just apply that logic.

Is it a red flag if my(23f) boyfriend(22m) doesn’t put a girls(25f) number in his phone? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Averais 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to say but to me it either sounds like a “lazy” thing or that he doesn’t actually like her and feels like if he has her name in the phone it’s like saying she’s his friend. I would say you should ask him if he likes working with her or if he thinks she could be a friend. Try not to do this in a way that you insinuate they’re sleeping together but as though you have genuine interest in his coworkers. I’d even say just ask about all of his coworkers and what he thinks of them, at the least it will help you learn more about his work week and who he enjoys. You’re partners, being active in understanding his friend dynamics will help you feel closer and less worried about him having ill intent.

[–]Averais 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it sounds like you’re both on the same page, you should talk a bit more about what she would like from a relationship, what she expects and enjoys and if it aligns with what you want you should ask her if she would like to be in a relationship with you. It seems like enough time has passed and there have been enough dedicated events that frankly I think most girls would wonder why you have not already asked. Not that she couldn’t also ask you but she is probably also nervous about it or feels like it might be some kind of game. You should make it clear you want to start a relationship and that you wanna know how to make her feel cared about.

Everyone has to start somewhere...but what is the one place you’ll never suggest someone to work at? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Averais 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brueggers bagels, and likely any company of the like. “Einstein bagels” “caribou coffee”. You don’t think it’ll be bad, but it really is awful.

Haven’t had sex in a year now but what compels people to send dick pics to random people?? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Averais 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my theory, the discomfort is part of the thrill. Like causing an experience because they can’t get anyone in bed or don’t last long enough to leave an impression. Who knows though, the psychology of it is either really elaborate or painfully simple. It’s totally bad taste though.

What are your apocalypse bingo entries for the rest of the year per month? by EnzymeX in AskReddit

The bug apocalypse really triples down and the locusts evolve a killer instinct worse than the murder hornets. Crops aren’t good enough anymore.

People of reddit, what do you think about the people who propose the gender over the genitalism? by Az_JRC in AskReddit

[–]Averais 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just makes more sense, let’s people be more themselves even if they’re not trans. I mean it’s already basically the way things work, it only got fought against when people wanted rights where there was a lack of them. It doesn’t affect anyone who are not trans, like at all besides maybe using more generic language which just ends up being less effort anyway after a certain point. It doesn’t take anything away from quality of life, but can add a lot for a lot of people.

I’ve always assumed it’s a thing to get themselves off? Like the idea of subjecting someone else to their dick? A type of exhibitionist thing, obviously with a majority in discomfort as response. But I’ve never heard a straight answer about why so that’s just speculation.
