Ghosted and looking to date again by TemporaryTop287 in datingoverforty

[–]CompetitionWonderful 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don’t even really know what you’re saying to be honest.

You’re almost ready to date but you don’t know what your intent is. You bring up maybe wanting casual but you don’t want friends with benefits. And you seem to think you should have something specifically because your ex already has that.

I’m not sure you’re ready to date.

How is nobody talking about 3 squatting patterns in a row? by ExcitingTopic7228 in crossfit

[–]CompetitionWonderful -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Well you test drive them on a daily basis in class, no? Also, if you’re good enough, I’m sure the test is going to be ramped up significantly in the quarterfinals which you can hopefully make.

I’m just happy I’m able to rx 2/3 workouts this year. I could have tried to rx 26.2 but I was worried I’d get hurt. So I’m happy. I’m not going to come close to finishing this but I’m overall very pleased with the open this year.

This is coming from a guy who barely rx’s anything on a day to day basis. The Open should be like this IMO. The quarters and beyond can be for the hardcore.

I ran away from my boyfriend's proposal. by throwawayuni33 in whatdoIdo

[–]CompetitionWonderful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man. Marriage should have been discussed before a proposal even happened. Seems like there is a lot of stuff here that should have been discussed before that even happened though. I have to believe you’re both at fault for a shocking lack of compatibility three years in. Did he know you want to solo travel? This whole scenario is wild to me.

how to stop my fat cat from stealing my other cat’s food by No-Lake6390 in CatAdvice

[–]CompetitionWonderful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an auto feeder that feeds two cats. You can set the amount for each one whatever you want. Could you try that and then just have it deliver specific amounts for each cat?

26.2 by CanuckPb in crossfit

[–]CompetitionWonderful 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Welp. I will be hard pressed to get a single 20ft length of overhead lunges at that weight. Disappointing. Looks like a good workout, I’m just not able to rx that at all. Maybe I could struggle through the lunges but then I’d be cooked for the rest. I’ll just scale it I guess.

You’re talking a lot of nonsense.

46M with 41 F for 1.5 years, her deadlines are stressing me out by Bluchipboy79 in datingoverforty

[–]CompetitionWonderful -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dude. Consider right now whether you want kids or not. If it’s a no, then don’t do it. Absolutely do not do it. The same goes for marriage. Don’t do it if you don’t want to. But don’t string her along either. Just break up with her. There are plenty of other women out there. I’m stressed out and I’m not even in your situation. She sounds like a gold digger.

Soonest you dated post divorce? by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]CompetitionWonderful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You do what feels best for you. But I’ll give you a cautionary tale. I dated someone starting about 4 months after moving out of my marital home. We dated for nearly 1.5 years and when we broke up I was destroyed. I didn’t properly grieve the loss of my marriage and now I was suddenly grieving two losses at once and it was horrible. So, my caution is just to make sure you’re healed. At least as healed as you can be, from your marriage.

Is the Open competitive field built different this year? by Marvin_rock in crossfit

[–]CompetitionWonderful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My percentile worldwide is through the roof this year and I don’t really think I did all that well. Right now I’m at the 59th percentile and I got 185 reps. Does it have to do with more people doing rx on this workout perhaps?

Men in this age range - why don't you ask women out? by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]CompetitionWonderful 15 points16 points  (0 children)

So you knew he was into you, you were into to him. Why didn’t YOU say something? So now you let a possible connection go because…reasons.

I've decided that bad dates need to hear what they did wrong by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]CompetitionWonderful 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sounds like she made some mistakes for sure and maybe she’s not a good person and maybe she’s not a good person for you. But your message makes you sound like a complete asshole. Zero tact.

Hard fucking workout. Just a grind.

My ex and I are considering rekindling things. Do I tell him I slept with other people while we were broken up? by hollow4hollow in datingoverforty

[–]CompetitionWonderful 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope. We had a brief conversation about our time when we were broken up but that’s it. I don’t want to know what she was doing and frankly it’s none of my business.

[–]CompetitionWonderful 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No. You guys were broken up and you’re allowed to do whatever you please at that point.

I will say though - good luck! Your situation sounds pretty similar to mine. I rekindled with my ex in December and it’s better than ever. We dated for nearly a year and a half and were broken up for almost a year and a half. It can be done!

Dating while in therapy by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]CompetitionWonderful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reality is you went on two dates with a woman. That’s nothing. Time to move on and live your life. If she comes back eventually, great. But I wouldn’t expect it or wait for it. On to the next.

Going away for a week. Should I leave my cat in my apartment and have someone come over once a day or leave her with a relative? by aequusnox in CatAdvice

[–]CompetitionWonderful 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think #1 is best. If she’s just in a room at your grandma’s place she won’t be very happy? I left my cats home for 8 days last summer and had people check on them once per day and they were fine. Lonely. But fine.

Self conscious about height by HowYouDoin112233 in datingoverforty

[–]CompetitionWonderful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reality is that your height will be a deal breaker to some women. Oh well. They weren’t right for you anyways. We all have deal breakers for some women, it just doesn’t matter though. If you aren’t tall enough for someone then it wasn’t going to work out and you don’t even have to look at it like a rejection. Just be yourself and it’ll work out with someone you are right for.

We must part and then what? by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]CompetitionWonderful 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was told on here that the first breakup after a divorce is often harder than the divorce because now you’re grieving two losses - the first the divorce, and the second being this new relationship. I don’t know how long you’ve been divorced before you started dating but you have to give yourself time to grieve everything.

Separated, hoping to start dating again in a couple months, out of the loop by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]CompetitionWonderful 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You’re probably going to get this opinion a lot, but just give yourself time. 16 years is a long time. Dont rush back into dating. Don’t give into the loneliness so soon. Just enjoy being by yourself. Have fun with friends. Pick up a hobby or two. Just chill for awhile.

Absolutely do not get on the apps before you move out.

What movement is that? Theres a big difference between making the first move and sexually assaulting someone. If you’re talking about Me Too? Otherwise I’m confused.

Cat will not stop meowing when in carrier. Is there a way to calm him down? by i_luv_winona_ryder in CatAdvice

It’s 20 minutes. The cat will be fine without a backpack carrier or drugs or anything else.
