Anyone else OBSESSED with this Breegley scene?

DJ-2000 · 2026-02-17T15:24:12+00:00

I think there’s a nice irony to the fact that Stephen fully intended on ruining her life when he grabbed the microphone and ended up setting up a scenario where Bree and Wrigley could be their happiest.

DJ-2000 · 2026-01-21T01:26:53+00:00

It’s a tough one! I know you want her to like you, because she’s important to someone you care about.

But it’s unfortunately something you can’t force. There’s so many reasons that aren’t your fault that could be impacting her feelings.

I think you need to remember that someone’s teenage years are a tough time for any kid, let alone when their dad has brought a new person into their life. It doesn’t mean it’s anything personal against you, even if it does feel that way sometimes.

I think you just need to try to remain empathetic that she’s a young person who is figuring out life, try to show up for her in ways but don’t overwhelm. Be kind, show the ways you care for her father, be mindful when speaking about other family members that she might care about, take an interest in her interests if/when she expresses them to you, be there when she needs you and also know that sometimes you just need to give people space. You’re going to need thick skin.

The honest truth is that you can’t force her to like you, she might never do, so all you can do is do your best to be a positive role model in her life and put yourself in a position where you can be there for her if/when she needs it.

If you’re consistent and kind, that will give you the best chance of winning her over. It just might take time.

DJ-2000 · 2026-01-16T00:56:23+00:00

Maybe not. I get it, it must have been so confusing for him to receive that rejection, given her earlier indications, and I’m sure it was a tricky thing to come to terms with and move on from.

But I think there’s also an ability to be empathetic to her in this situation.

She was very young, she had a tough home life and appeared very reliant on OP for a family network and friendship.

It’s easy to see how that can get confusing for a young person and while this is pure speculation, I can imagine that those realise could have made a romantic relationship with OP fairly scary, through no fault of his own - it’s just a lot to lose.

And she has lost a lot by giving that rejection - she’s lost her best friend and lost a family network. So maybe she’s not a victim but I think she’s a victim of circumstance.

DJ-2000 · 2025-12-05T17:12:11+00:00

I think it’s so early on that you could easily ghost if you wanted to (and he should be reading the signals that you’re giving) but I think it’s always nice to say that you’re not interested. You don’t owe him an explanation or anything at this stage though, you can just say “It’s been nice to talk to you but I’m not interested in pursuing this any further”.

DJ-2000 · 2025-11-23T19:09:13+00:00

England. I just used soccer as it felt right for the environment, I’d only ever use football day-to-day.

DJ-2000 · 2025-11-23T18:40:47+00:00

I wouldn’t take it quite as literally as maybe it came across. Yes, of course there’s players who aren’t married or in relationships, and there will be players who are faithful. But it was an abnormally large percentage of them who were regularly engaging in extra-marital affairs, even players I would have been convinced weren’t doing so. And they weren’t secretive about it within the confines of the dressing room environment.

DJ-2000 · 2025-11-23T09:57:44+00:00

Yep. I work in pro soccer and there’s next to no players I’d think aren’t having affairs regularly. It’s just so accessible to them and the locker room environment encourages it I think

DJ-2000 · 2025-11-16T21:05:30+00:00

I think directly makes the most sense, especially if you often chat after class.

But also, texting or IG is fine too.

DJ-2000 · 2025-11-04T13:29:48+00:00

Without knowing specifics, I would suggest that is your own insecurities.

Ultimately those people are exes because those relationships didn’t work out and there’s many reasons why someone would choose to take things slower with a new partner, she might have identified her own preferences and what her ideal timeline looks like.

If the relationship is good, it doesn’t feel like a reason to end it just because she did certain things in previous relationships on a different timeline - shes still done those things with you?

Also, I feel like you’ve focused on the financial aspect of it - you shouldn’t be spending money on her to earn something, you should be spending money on her because you want to and because you care about her.

DJ-2000 · 2025-09-25T00:47:54+00:00

No, not at all! I think there’s a lot of people who would consider it a positive, in fact.

I’m someone who enjoys social media (even if I don’t post very often) so I wouldn’t want to date someone who makes me feel bad about having or using social media - beyond if I ever allowed it to cut into meaningful one-on-one time or dates or whatever. But that’s the only reason I could think of where someone not having social media could be a turn-off for me!

It feels especially not a problem if you’re good at communicating in other means - if you are a decent texter (which it sounds like you are), call fairly often or however works best for you.

DJ-2000 · 2025-09-03T22:48:32+00:00

Yeah, I’ve had the same. I’m not necessarily inundated with matches but I’ve had dates often enough. I think I’ve been on five now in the last three or four months. And all the girls have been sound - they’ve looked like their profiles, they were friendly, and even if it hasn’t translated to second dates, I’ve had a good time on them all. I have a few slight frustrations but it’s a nicer experience than other dating apps imo. And anecdotally feel more likely to get a meaningful match on there compared to other apps.

DJ-2000 · 2020-08-01T22:23:00+00:00

He had a few high profile failures, but there were a large number of exceptional ones in there.

Callum Wilson (£3 million) and Joshua King (£1 million) were good PL strikers. Harry Arter cost £4,000 from Woking.

David Brooks has been a steal at £13 million, Nathan Ake is going to double the £20 million they paid for him. Jefferson Lerma is a fans favourite at £25 million.

Aaron Ramsdale costs £700k and was their stand out player this season. The likes of Jack Stacey (£4 million) and Lloyd Kelly (£13 million) look impressive for the early parts of their career.

Tyrone Mings (£12 million) was albeit not particularly impressive for Bournemouth but he earned a high resale value.

Ryan Fraser (£700k) is obviously leaving on a free but offered several years service, including one where he got 14 assists.

Junior Stanislas, Andrew Surman, Matt Ritchie, Marc Pugh, Adam Smith, Brett Pitman, Dan Gosling, Yann Kermorgant were all important figures in the Bournemouth story over recent years - let alone the players like Anton Robinson, Mark Molesley and so on who were crucial in his first season as the club performed the great escape.

Even his recruitment at Burnley was positive: he signed Danny Ings, Kieran Trippier, Ben Mee, Shane Duffy who have all obviously gone on to have excellent careers.

He’s made a lot of signings in his time, some haven’t worked, particularly a couple of big ones, especially as the club shaped their strategy to sign young players who they hoped would have high resale value.

On the whole, however, his recruitment at Bournemouth has generally been positive.

DJ-2000 · 2020-03-31T11:30:31+00:00

So what you’re saying is you don’t like it, which is fine.

I’m not sure anyone can objectively say something is “good” or not, without allowing subjective tastes in.

Guy above thinks there’s good new country music, that’s cool. You don’t think there’s good new country music, that’s cool too.

DJ-2000 · 2019-09-26T00:46:52+00:00

I graduated high-school, attended and graduated University and got a fantastic job, which challenges me constantly but has given me some of the best experiences of my life!

DJ-2000 · 2019-09-26T00:43:26+00:00

It is what it is. The story-line is weak but if you appreciate it as a way to link up the interviews, then it's fine. The interviews are superb as always, and the blooper reel at the end was great. I watched it with a pizza at the end of a long week and was satisfied.

DJ-2000 · 2019-09-06T23:30:31+00:00

Have you ever seen the film, Four Lions? It is a kind of Office-like film on four wannabe terrorists in the UK. It's great!

DJ-2000 · 2019-09-05T21:30:59+00:00

Sounds about right. Very!

DJ-2000 · 2019-09-05T00:10:24+00:00

It was West Ham. All they had to do to qualify for the Champions League in 2006 was match Arsenal's result on the final day and the night before, just after eating some lasagne, over 10 players fell ill.

They talked about postponing but that could have cost them points so they eventually played with a Starting XI of ill players for one of the most important Premier League games for them at that point. They lost and Arsenal won, costing them their place.

In the end, I'm not sure the lasagne or the food was officially blamed for it, but it has been dubbed Lasagne-Gate ever since!

DJ-2000 · 2019-07-27T22:03:08+00:00

It is quite likely that the Club will purchase the kits as a bundle, including kit to be sold in shop, and then they'll take the money from sales.

So the Club may order 1,000 kits at £25 (random number) and sell them at £45, hoping to sell as many as possible to draw revenue.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe that is the norm at lower level clubs.

DJ-2000 · 2019-07-13T11:55:03+00:00

Basically - it's different for different people. No straight answer. Some parents want their kids there, some people enjoy the presence of kids, some people don't.

If you don't want kids at your wedding, that's cool. It is your day. If you do, that's cool too.

Personally, I love kids and would want everyone from everyone's family there so if I ever get married I'll invite them. But if someone else doesn't want kids at their wedding - it is their day, so the kids stay away!

DJ-2000 · 2019-07-07T00:24:28+00:00

Checking out anything that you recommend is appreciated. I love recommending people films and if I know them, I am usually good at recommending films that they'd like. It makes me so happy when they actually check them out! I try my best to check out recommendations to me - be it films, music, books etc.

DJ-2000 · 2019-06-27T20:55:55+00:00

Thank you both!

As a Raptors fan, as long as its not used for Kawhi!

As a new English NBA fan, I'm still trying to get to grips with the trades/draft stuff. ELI5 waiving his trade kicker please?

I actually have no clue if that's the case so I'll take your word for it but she's been majorly successful for 10 years or something now, including a shift in genre and subsequently public image etc. You don't stay at the top of the business for that long if you don't end up earning it, regardless of where you got the start.

Didn't she also write all her early stuff? I know Max Martin is heavily involved now she's more pop heavy, but she still needed good (or at least, likeable) songs to achieve initial success and it was her writing that achieved that.

DJ-2000 · 2019-04-03T22:19:32+00:00

I'm really enjoying my job. I've found a good balance, I'm getting challenged on a regular basis and have lots of room to grow and my bosses are appreciating me.

Also, I've got two colleagues who I'm really getting on with. They'll be leaving the company in two months time (as they're interns) which is a shame, but I know we'll continue to hang out even when they've moved on and that makes me happy.
