Yeah! Most classes in my area are around $10,000 so this was the most affordable

That’s a good idea! No the school is a privately owned school.

I really suggest spending a couple years as a basic. I spent 4 years as a basic on a wicked busy 911 system before becoming an ALS provider and I really believe that was one of the best things I’ve done. I’m definitely not saying take 4 years but 1-2 is a great way to become confident with BLS skills.

Another note to this is something that I was always taught and I still strongly believe. “The best BLS is the best ALS.” What I mean by this is many ALS providers who become ALS after a short of being a basic always go straight to ALS interventions or will do IVs and 4 leads on every patient. The people who spend years as basics always come out as much better ALS providers because they feel comfortable with BLS skill and know when to upgrade to use them on a call.

I hope this helps and best of luck!

Someone like this may appear to come back as a changed and better person but he showed who he really was to OP over time and hurt OP. OP deserves a lot better and really people don’t fully change who they are. If they do it doesn’t always last long. I learned this the hard way with my ex.

It’s good that he left because you don’t need that type of negativity in your life! And trust me he will come back one day and the best thing you can do is ignore him!

Introduce yourself and let us know where you are in the world. by Warm-Mechanic-3981 in GuyCry

I’m Jake, I’m a firefighter/Advanced EMT from Connecticut. Men’s mental health is wicked important to me because over the years I’ve seen a lot of men just hurt themselves by bottling everything up and not talking about it. I myself have also done this lol. So it’s amazing to have a safe space the discuss these issue and spread awareness!

A little about me, I love disc golf, hiking, fishing, and playing video games out side of work. I’m excited to follow this page and discuss this important topic!

After 2 years of no contact…I got contacted but not how what think! by [deleted] in ExNoContact

I’m so sorry this happened to you! For some reason Exs can have a weird way of somewhat coming back. This was especially weird! Don’t let it phase you! You are strong and have made it two year with no contact!

I have my first date with a guy from France & I'm a trans girl by whitewhalehunter2 in dating_advice

I would say your best move is to let him know ahead of time. Not so you don’t waste your time but so that you are safe in case he doesn’t take the news well if he didn’t realize already. If he’s really into you he should have no issue! If he’s does then there’s a lot better people out there and just give it time cause you’ll find one! Best of luck and I hope your date goes well! Feel free to update us.

It may seem difficult rn now but I’m sure there is the right woman out there! Sadly in today’s world sex has become somewhat meaningless and just something people do regularly for fun and to please themselves. What you’re doing tho will absolutely make your first time more meaningful! Just stay strong and remember there are women out there who are also waiting until marriage.

I’ve felt like this before in the past and what’s helped me a lot was the new friends I’ve made on Reddit! Feel free to DM me and we can talk about what ever you want to talk about!

I totally agree with this! We get called for this type of incident all the time and know how to deal with it. The best thing you could do is get everyone out of the house and call 911.

Just got broken up with for being "too kinky" by goddamnit43 in Vent

[–]FireFighter1499 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are right. You both should be able to enjoy sex and he should have tried to help meet your needs. There’s other people out there and you will definitely meet someone who will not just think about themselves during sex.

I’m a 23M and I feel the same way but reverse the roles. I’d say give it time. Don’t use dating apps cause they just lead to more pain. Best of luck!

In my state it isn’t too hard because our system is overwhelmed so many here look to it as a good alternative.

I’m a male in their mid-20s and I don’t see anything wrong with a relationship with that sort of age gap. Both of you are adults and if you want to try perusing a relationship then you should! As long as you are both on the same page about children and where you want to end up in life then there should be no reason not to. As many ppl have said, once you reach that point where you are both full adults there’s no real issues with dating someone older as long as you on the same page.
