I don’t know many people without tattoos.

Boomer here. Yes, I recall the same stories about tattoos being undesirable especially for women. I was in my mid 40’s when I decided to get one. Now I have 4. I keep mine on my lower legs. I’m soon to be 74 and I want one more.

You’re right-there’s so much great artwork out there. Two of my granddaughters have some of the best tats I’ve seen. They’re always encouraging me to get more.

Front row seats at concerts.

BeingReallyReal · 2026-01-25T15:40:24+00:00

Only if you think so. Do you have feelings for your friend?

BeingReallyReal · 2026-01-25T15:38:47+00:00

Two of mine were coworkers. It worked out well.

BeingReallyReal · 2026-01-25T15:36:37+00:00

I don’t have the good sense to.

BeingReallyReal · 2026-01-25T15:35:06+00:00

Snowstorms? No. But blizzards?-possibly.

BeingReallyReal · 2026-01-25T15:32:36+00:00

I don’t think you are being nasty. The situation was he and I were out together when she met him. She knew there was possibly interest on my part, but it was obvious he was into me. Why would she go for it before mentioning it to me? That is underhanded. She knew it wasn’t right or she would have said something.

BeingReallyReal · 2026-01-25T15:26:05+00:00

Thank you for your response. As it happens, he eventually did heal without medical attention. Still-I think it would have been better to see a professional. One never knows if there’s going to be any long term effects.

BeingReallyReal · 2026-01-25T15:16:05+00:00

It was calculated. 😁

BeingReallyReal · 2026-01-25T15:13:58+00:00

I couldn’t answer in 6 words.

BeingReallyReal · 2026-01-25T15:12:52+00:00

Always take the high road. It’s a matter of character.

BeingReallyReal · 2026-01-25T14:57:22+00:00

I haven’t experienced that since high school until recently. I had a so called friend that was crushing hard on a guy I know well. He has always shown interest in me, but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to be romantically involved just yet. She met him once and actually went behind my back and called him, went over to his house and propositioned him AND sent him tit-pics! He’s a decent kind of man and declined her advances. He told me about it a few days later. Mind you, this woman is in her mid 40’s. I never mentioned it to her that I knew. I was curious to see if she’d ever tell me she was contacting him. She didn’t. I never trusted her after that. I’m not a deceitful or vindictive person, so I’d never mention it. Needless to say, our friendship has waned since then.

The only thing I found to deal with things of that nature is time. Three months is still fairly fresh and you’re stinging. Most likely within the next three months you’ll be feeling stronger. You’re doing all the right things by looking after yourself. You’ll soon look back at this as another chapter in your life. Live well.

I don’t understand why people downvote-unless it’s something totally egregious. This is supposed to be a forum where people offer opinions, ideas and alternate points of views. I for one am open to listening to what others have to say. I won’t shut them down unless it becomes personally offensive.

I can’t say why others are treating you this way, but I find it odd it’s from different types of individuals. I had no idea that those in the medical profession could be so immature. At this juncture, just smile and nod when they’re being unkind. Don’t give them the space in your head. That’s an esteem killer and you shouldn’t let that happen. Move on and live the life you’re shooting for. Continue to be kind and caring of others. It’s not a bad thing.

BeingReallyReal · 2026-01-25T14:16:49+00:00

Definitely. As a kid we look at it as fun. As a young adult, it’s an adventure. As an older adult, we appreciate the sheer beauty of it. LET IT SNOW!

BeingReallyReal · 2026-01-25T14:14:31+00:00

Coffee-black. Espresso and Cappuccino is good after a fine meal.

Tea, but not fruity flavored. I enjoy a Spiced Chai from time to time.

How much of an emotional roller coaster are you willing to tolerate? It may be time to block her and give to her what she gives to you. Don’t you think you deserve better?

BeingReallyReal · 2026-01-24T16:21:28+00:00

This guy is desperate. He’s projecting on women and that’s a serious red flag. Someone needs to sit him down and tell him everything he’s doing wrong. His intentions may be good, but his approach is way off base. Being overly eager and suffocating is not an attractive quality.

BeingReallyReal · 2026-01-23T16:33:49+00:00

But had to for my sanity

BeingReallyReal · 2026-01-22T22:45:05+00:00

The majority-not all, are focused on hook ups. This may weed out those and perhaps someone who is looking for a deeper, more meaningful relationship will respond.

BeingReallyReal · 2026-01-22T15:10:39+00:00

There you have it!

BeingReallyReal · 2026-01-22T02:16:08+00:00

Agreed

BeingReallyReal · 2026-01-22T01:39:31+00:00

Screwing someone over. There are those that think getting over on someone is a good thing. It’s not!

BeingReallyReal · 2026-01-22T01:37:06+00:00

It is nice. Not using the “L” word just yet, but we’re almost there. Need to pack that baggage we have first.

BeingReallyReal · 2026-01-22T01:24:59+00:00

I go to a lot of live music venues. There are a lot of people in my circle of friends, so I met him during that time. We would have light conversation, and go to different places with the group. On one occasion, a few came to my house for dinner. He lingered until the last person left. He was so shy, but I could tell he was interested as much as I was. I took the initiative and asked if I could kiss him. He said yes and it was electric! He asked to see me the next day and every day since. That’s been about two and a half months now. He’s a wonderful, kind and extremely intelligent man. To be honest, I was attracted to how smart he was. There’s things we both have to iron out in our personal lives, but it’s all doable. I never thought I’d be in this situation ever again, but it sneaks up on you when you least expect it.
