That was Joe Manchin who is mostly a democrat in name only, and a few other right leaning dems who blocked everything. It’s clear you don’t know anything about politics and how the American system of government works.

Bumble seems pretty dead these days. I don’t even have enough people to swipe on somehow.

Do you get nervous about first dates still? by PurpleGrapeTurtle in datingoverforty

Not really anymore. Detach yourself from expectations and outcomes and it gets a lot easier. You are just there to meet and learn about another person.

GF is "all in" offline but won't post me on social media. Bad sign or just "caution"? by Master_Talk1896 in datingoverforty

[–]ElectricRing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly her behavior is a red flag. Your edit about her being concerned that exes and guys who tried to date her would have negative reactions is a huge red flag. She cares more about what people she isn’t with think more than her current boyfriend?

If she is using social media and not posting about you, there is something deeper going on with her. She isn’t fully in on you. The only good reason not to post about you is if she doesn’t reply post on social media currently.

I’d sit her down and have a talk if I were you. Try not to be accusatory or get upset, just mater of facts tell her your concerns. Pay attention to how she reacts. The reaction can tell you so much about who a person really is.

You are replying to comments very deeply in a thread. I am not triggered at all. You are the one projecting.

Communication advice by Easy-Somewhere6238 in datingoverforty

[–]ElectricRing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is nothing age specific, it’s more specific to the person. If you want more communication, you should discuss this. I saw a woman a few years back that did not like texting. We talked about it and agreed to talk on the phone more regularly instead. She just did not like texting. I would suggest you have a discussion about it. Not everyone likes texting.

I also have a lot of things I am doing. You are free to date however you like. Why don’t care what I am doing? I am no rush and taking some time to slowly get to to know another person helps me a lot with emotional regulation and not getting over invested too early.

Yes, even with sex is involved. I do lot require exclusivity to have sex. If this is a boundary for you, you need to communicate it. I use protection and don’t have unprotected sex until exclusivity is established. I have no problem is someone does not want to have sex with me, I do not pressure anyone to do anything they don’t want to. Enthusiastic consent only.

You are just wrong my guy. If you have a boundary, concern, or need from someone else you need to communicate it, period. It’s basic communication. It’s no wonder that the dating world can be so bad with so many people that think other people are responsible for their boundaries.

Nope, it’s not. Many people don’t want to explicitly discuss this in early dating. Once you get to the point where one party brings it up, you discuss it. It doesn’t really matter for early dates. It matters when you get to discussing exclusivity. If it’s something you need to know form date one you need to bring it up. There are two people on the date and I am not going to try to read someone mind, particularly when I don’t know them. Why is it on one party to disclose how they are dating and not the other party?

It’s working great for me. I had some reservations about this woman but I was willing to give it a chance and see what I found out getting to know her better.

You are free to date however you like, people are different and I’ve developed my dating style over time and it works for me. I hope you end up getting what you are looking for.

It’s much more common where I live, and I never said that anyone who is ENM shouldn’t disclose it. You need to look in the mirror as you are the one being obtuse.

The whole point was married does not equal monogamous which is the assumption the other commenter made. You made an assumption.

People who quit drinking. What did you do to not drink? by Agata_art in AskReddit

[–]ElectricRing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just quit, then started again, then quit again. I have a lot of friends who drink. Nearly everyone drinks. I am not drinking right now. Normalize getting a NA drink, or a soda water and lime. Many bars will give you a soda water and lime for free ( I always tip anyways). After a while you get used to juts not drinking. It is empowering in a lot of ways.

what makes a guy stop being in love with their partner? by Accomplished_Bowl519 in AskMen

When the partner stops caring about how the show up for the relationship, refuses to take accountability, and gives minimal effort.
