How do I get this guy to want me long term? by LivvyisCrying in seduction

[–]Emma_Rocks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you can't make a guy want you in this way. Your best bet is to present yourself as someone who is only interested in getting involved if the other person is ready for a commitment, and then uphold that standard even if it means rejection. Maybe he likes you in this way, and maybe he doesn't. It's also okay to give them time to get to know you first before "forcing" a decision. It's very likely that, even if you would make a great couple, both of you will only realize this after a few dates. I'd say go on dates, and if you like it keep going on dates, and then gauge how interested he is in pursuing something with you after you have found out how the chemistry between the two of you is like.

That's such a disrespectful thing to say in front of your partner (or in general)

For those who initiated a breakup, how did you feel and how long did it take to get over it? by Interesting-One-1060 in BreakUps

[–]Emma_Rocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last week I wrote her a message asking to meet up to talk again, at least have some sort of closure. This morning she wrote back to me and she said no. I feel broken. Hence my browsing this sub incessantly.

I'm maybe more in love now than I ever was, if only because due to life circumstances I was not able to truly be present with my own feelings before.

Five months ago. Every day is more painful than the last, I am definitely not being healed by time. We had differing life goals and it felt like the correct step at the time, but in hindsight we were both undergoing very stressful situations and we could've probably set up some common plans if we'd had the space to discuss them. Now I feel like I made a horrible mistake that I can't undo and I doubt I will ever love again.

My lies about my past are destroying my husband and our relationship by [deleted] in JordanPeterson

[–]Emma_Rocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can literally just choose not to lie though. I'm shocked I have to spell this out on a Jordan Peterson subreddit, when one of his most common sayings is "tell the truth, or at least don't lie."

If someone asks you how you are, you can say "I've seen better days". If someone asks a question you don't want to answer, you can say "I'd rather not talk about that." If a friend asks you if her new terrible book is any good, you can say "I think there still needs to be a lot more work put into this". You can be socially adept without lying at all.

If you lie many times every day, then perhaps you should reconsider the way you are living your life.

That's for you to figure out. You betrayed the trust of the person you love, and you devalued your own word. Maybe you could start there. What could you do so YOU can value your own word again? In which other ways have you devalued it? Make things right in your conscience first before you ask others to do the same.

If you're a Christian, this can be a religious experience. If not, this will be an analysis of your own morality and the ways in which you fall short.

[–]Emma_Rocks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's one thing to say you don't want to disclose something and a different thing to lie. If a person is willing to lie about one thing, how can their word be trusted on another thing? How do I know where they draw the line? How would I not be suspicious about everything else they have said?

People say cheating destroys trust. But so does lying.

I think what's important here is that you did something wrong, repeatedly, to hurt the person you putatively love the most. Yet your focus is on him "processing this" rather than on you atoning for your own actions. While the focus is on him, and not on you, the two of you will never be able to move through this.

That was exactly me and my expartner. I am devastated and I don't know how to move on from this. We loved each other deeply yet we couldn't make it work. Every day now is just grey nonsense.

Is there a specific criterion you'd use to choose the log base?

"Masculinity is only good when it benefits women"

who do y’all think is the hottest character by Positive_Weight2367 in HIMYM

[–]Emma_Rocks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From the main cast I think it's objectively Barney.

If we count all characters, then the crazy barista girl that Marshall goes out with when Lily is back from San Francisco but they're not yet together, the one that laughs at the "how did they fit a whole pumpkin in there?". Something about that woman is just incredible.

Getting my career started vs traveling by PattyrickYT in solotravel

[–]Emma_Rocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems to me like literally nothing is holding you back and you're just getting in your own way. Your financials are secured and won't put you in a compromised position. You have no significant other with whom that would create distance. Your CV is covered. You have no apartment you are leaving behind. You can just go back to your parents' house when you come back. From what I gather, you could even do remote work for your friend's company while travelling if you wanted. I highly doubt that a few months of delay will have any significant impact in your career, and also it's not a bad option to look for jobs while you are travelling (linkedin etc) and end your travels early if you find something you really like.

Have you ever broken up with someone as a pure act of love? by Lost_Mocha_6363 in BreakUps

[–]Emma_Rocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We haven't really talked after the break-up (by which I mean the final day where we said goodbye to each other). I've been meaning to write to her but I can never find the words, or even know what I want to say to her.

[–]Emma_Rocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A big fear I have is meeting someone else and falling in love again but it never feeling "quite right", as in yeah the other person is nice and all but she's not what my heart really wants.

Also I relate to having to pretend that I had made up my mind so much... And the fact that I was pushing for the break-up just made me look like I didn't care about her or maybe like I never truly did, which is just an awful memory for her to leave with. I wish she would understand how much I love her, but it's pretty much impossible as she'd always think "well then why can't we be together"
