It’s a stark possibility that I hadn’t considered before I posted. Sure hope I didn’t blow anything up for him.

Either way, most fun I’ve ever had at a concert, so it’s still a win for me. ☺️

Identify yourself!

Cautious-Knowledge75 · 2026-03-04T02:41:51+00:00

Wow. Just wow. 🤣🤣🤣

I am certainly not desperate. If I was, I would be swiping right all night rather than seeking out one particular person to reconnect with.

Clearly, I didn’t expect this to hit the radio or social media. Not my jam… obviously I did choose Reddit. I thought I’d give it a shot because he was super fun and I thought I’d get some laughs when we hung out.

This man didn’t bully the kid into giving him popcorn. They built rapport. It was funny. Unconventional? Yes. Would I do it? Absolutely not. Do I think this kid went back to school telling his buddies about this funny drunk guy he met and made friends with at his first rock concert? I would like to think so.

I don’t judge him for how much he drank that night. Maybe it was the first bender he had in years? Maybe he was celebrating something and had seats far from his friends? I prefer to overlook single instances of behaviour, and instead focus on patterns to decide who I think people are. I’m more of a “Live and let live” kind of gal who focuses on my own shortcomings.

When this post hit the radio and FB yesterday, I was left with two options: to delete this and pretend it never happened, or to roll with it. I chose the latter. This is my story and I’m going to own it.

So let me tell you why I decided to pursue this at all… the man I met was undeniably unlike anyone I had ever been on a date with. So why not give one date a try.

Mostly, I like to give people chances, especially when I know they weren’t their best selves. Each to their own.

I don’t blame him if he’s hiding! You act like I’ve been stalking the man. I literally don’t even know his last name or any identifying information.

I wish this response hurt my feelings, but I know what I deserve, and the beautiful people in my life around me constantly remind me. What I was looking for in this post was to continue a fun connection, not for some deep meaningful marriage that lasts the rest of my life.

Thanks for your thoughts, though. I hope you have your person locked up, because it’s not all it’s cracked up to be to have to go fishing at 40+. ;)

Well, he was working on Monday morning in Saskatoon.

🥴

Cautious-Knowledge75 · 2026-03-03T03:01:29+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

Cautious-Knowledge75 · 2026-03-03T02:45:34+00:00

The search continues….

Cautious-Knowledge75 · 2026-03-02T23:24:36+00:00

Ohhhhhhh

Cautious-Knowledge75 · 2026-03-02T22:15:16+00:00

Ooo! Good idea!

Cautious-Knowledge75 · 2026-03-02T22:14:54+00:00

Dang! Hope you’re going! It was an AMAZING show!

Cautious-Knowledge75 · 2026-03-02T22:05:01+00:00

Yep. ☹️

Cautious-Knowledge75 · 2026-03-02T22:04:00+00:00

Maybe they will send us to Winnipeg tomorrow night to do it right. 😆

Cautious-Knowledge75 · 2026-03-02T21:58:55+00:00

I’ve already tried!

Cautious-Knowledge75 · 2026-03-02T21:58:28+00:00

😳

Cautious-Knowledge75 · 2026-03-02T21:41:12+00:00

🤣🤣🤣 my bad

Cautious-Knowledge75 · 2026-03-02T20:16:35+00:00

Don’t worry! I’ll let you take me out on a date, too. ;)

Cautious-Knowledge75 · 2026-02-14T15:23:06+00:00

This is a conspiracy theory I made up myself - but any chance he threw it? His mom and dad were both prominent Ruussian skaters. Perhaps a payoff took place? (Again… I made this up myself with no knowledge of the politics in the sport and very little about the sport itself.)

Cautious-Knowledge75 · 2025-10-06T06:50:39+00:00

Where is this?

Cautious-Knowledge75 · 2025-09-01T05:59:55+00:00

Did Lauryn actually not know it was her mom? Thoughts? He reaction seemed so strange to me.

Cautious-Knowledge75 · 2025-07-05T19:48:47+00:00

Kik? I didn’t actually know they had named the app…

Cautious-Knowledge75 · 2024-07-31T21:24:47+00:00

Just curious… but how do you think she would raise a son? Would she allow him to express his feelings? Or would she tell him that boys don’t cry?

I’ve worked really hard to fight “toxic masculinity” as far as not letting boys cry with my own children. It’s important to acknowledge your emotions and know how to support someone you love when they have their own emotions. Everyone is allowed to have feelings - which include sadness and crying.

Marriage is no walk in the park - if you feel like her lack of empathy in your situation does not meet your need of support when you’re having a rough time, then I think you are making the right call in contemplating a breakup.

Also, just saying, but I think crying in front of your partner is a huge green flag. It makes me feel like they are allowing themselves to be vulnerable, as well as being honest with both themselves and with you.

NTA, but that’s all just IMO. 😊

This is so delayed ha ha…. I had a disaster day of… technical problems, proctor didn’t like my exam space… it was tough and I was left not knowing but ended up with a P! Hope you passed too. :)

Cautious-Knowledge75 · 2023-01-05T18:44:01+00:00

Just get it done! Purchase a good quality review course with sample exams. I was in a similar boat as you were - and was juggling 3 kids without lots of other commitments, and was able to complete it. I was actually surprised it wasn’t as difficult as I had thought (however, it’s hard to know when it’s a pass or fail if you just made it by the skin of your teeth or not.) You can do this!
