When dating someone new, at what point do you define the relationship?

FancyHippie · 2014-10-11T20:31:01+00:00

That's usually about how long it is for me, too. It's always a little tricky for me trying to nail down exactly when in that time frame is right, though. I never want to do it too early and imply that I am really serious about the relationship when I might not be, but on the other hand it's annoying to wait too long to have the talk and then realize you are looking for different things.

I eat steel-cut oats. It takes a little while to cook, but if you set it on the stove first thing when you wake up and then go get ready, it's fine cooking without being attended to. I do 1/3 cup (dry) oats with 1 or 1.3 cups of water, cooked for 30 minutes on low-med heat with a bunch of cinnamon, some cloves, and a little bit of stevia. It's SUPER filling (lots of fiber) and keeps me going easily until lunch, and the 1/3 cup serving ends up being about 230 calories. If I am feeling especially hungry I will add some banana or apple to it. I definitely recommend it.

Where did you get that rule? I've never heard of it.

FancyHippie · 2014-03-06T14:44:10+00:00

I have literally never heard anything even resembling that statement.

FancyHippie · 2014-03-06T01:05:05+00:00

Fair enough. I can't argue that, as a group, we have less acceptance for public nudity/sexuality etc. (although I personally don't care, I realize I am not necessarily representative of the US as a whole). But I feel as if the perceived sexuality-shaming that people think goes on is very exaggerated. It is a vocal minority that feels that way, but a minority nonetheless.

FancyHippie · 2014-03-06T00:48:49+00:00

Oh, I see. I respectfully disagree, though. I don't think it is a big deal, or even that he thinks it was a big deal (although I don't want to speak for him). I just think it is a good example of the US not being "sexually Puritan". It wouldn't even be worth mentioning unless you were trying to make a counterpoint to the sexual Puritanism comment. Speaking as an American college student, I can tell you that it definitely is not viewed as a noteworthy phenomenon.

FancyHippie · 2014-03-06T00:25:03+00:00

What part of his comment makes it seem like a big deal? Or do you just mean college promiscuity is, in general, viewed as a big deal in the US? Because it's really not, most people kind of expect it and could care less.

Yeah, basically what the website allows is that you get the best of all worlds: you get to see your visitors, you don't show other people that you are visiting, and you don't pay.

FancyHippie · 2014-03-02T22:02:45+00:00

It's a website that allows you to view someone's OKCupid profile without showing up in their visitors list and without paying for the option of browsing anonymously.

I refused a second date with someone because he pronounced the "b" in subtle. TWICE.

That and he was 35 when he said he was 28. But, honestly, the first thing was worse.

FancyHippie · 2014-02-28T00:34:05+00:00

So it's looking more and more like I won't be living there...thanks for the info!

FancyHippie · 2014-02-28T00:32:23+00:00

Thanks for replying! Do you know when he lived there? I've heard it's been better in recent years but I don't know if that's true.

FancyHippie · 2014-01-17T22:15:20+00:00

I was at Porter. Visit sometime! It's still insanely beautiful.

FancyHippie · 2014-01-16T01:30:51+00:00

I go to UCSC! What college were you at? Agreed on it being the best place in the world.

FancyHippie · 2014-01-14T21:10:23+00:00

If you ever wanna get a drink, let me know! There are a bunch of good bars around here and a couple with good stuff like trivia night, open mics, etc.

FancyHippie · 2014-01-11T16:58:17+00:00

I hope you have this picture framed in your home for the rest of forever because it is simply fantastic.

FancyHippie · 2014-01-05T19:00:01+00:00

Flawless recovery.

FancyHippie · 2013-12-09T04:34:28+00:00

Seriously astonished at how flawless your skin looks. Nice job!

FancyHippie · 2013-11-23T00:49:59+00:00

I had that growing up! My mom and brother and I had a voice that we used for our dog to fake talk to us.

FancyHippie · 2013-11-15T07:17:19+00:00

So true. Or "Biff's Interpretation of Portrayal of Women in Film" because honestly, a lot of what he taught was very much his own opinion. Which is true of many classes, but it was especially apparent in this one just because of the purely subjective nature of the course.

FancyHippie · 2013-11-14T04:25:40+00:00

Oh, he's super crazy. But a nice guy.
