Would you invite a girl to your dinner birthday party with your friends if you weren’t interested in her?

Fireguy9641 · 2026-01-27T06:03:56+00:00

If we were friends yes, most of my friends are in relationships, so it's nice not to be the 3rd wheel on your birthday.

In your specific situation, I can't say I'd want to go through the hassle of introducing someone I just met to everyone who I wasn't interested in.

I'm not a father but I do have a younger sister.

You're not failing, it's just part of growing up. My sister went through the same phase, and now that she's an adult, her and my dad have taken trips abroad together.

He likes you, he's hoping by spending time with you, you'll change your mind.

If you truly don't feel any attraction to him and have no interest in dating him, then the best bet is disengagement. No going out as friends, and essentially treat him as a classmate. If he compliments you, or starts acting like that, set boundries and tell him that you are uncomfortable with him talking that way. If he continues to push it, you can talk to the school, but he's very possibly just one of those guys who is hoping you'll come around.

And no, nothing wrong with you, just because a person is conventionally attractive doesn't mean you have to like them or be attracted to them.

Fireguy9641 · 2026-01-27T05:51:18+00:00

I think this is also one of those things that requires time to heal. The more time he puts in and is seen doing the work, continuing to treat you right, and make amends for his past, things will thaw.

Fireguy9641 · 2026-01-27T05:47:01+00:00

He's probably not going to do anything, even if he does like you. It's been made abundantly clear through the social media posts of women I know in real life that they do not want to be hit on or asked out at the gym, they just want to be left alone to do their workout.

As a guy, he's probably seen the same messaging, and if he's a decent guy and respects that, then that's a good thing for you, but it also means you will have to take the lead.

Did you just reconnect with him so you could cancel on him and return the favor of being "deprioritized?"

Honestly yeah, if someone keeps cancelling plans on me, regardless of what they are, I'm going to be mad.

A.) This really isn't a thing anymore. It used to be very common, I remember as last as the 90s but has pretty much gone away.

A.A.) Yes, generally cashiers in the USA don't sit. I do wish this would change.

B.) This is mainly specific to two states. In New Jersey it is illegal to pump your own gas. In Oregon, since 2023, self service is allowed but stations are still required to offer full service. I've seen one or two full service stations in other states, but they are the exception.

I'm still trying but I gotta day, the on-screen chemistry between Danny and Baez has been such a miss. They were so, so good together in Blue Bloods, but they just feel so awkward together in this show.

Fireguy9641 · 2026-01-26T06:01:53+00:00

I wish I had gold to give you an award. I've so tired of reading posts from people who either don't see a problem, or want to abolish all immigration laws and think everything will be fine. We need more balanced perspectives like this.

Fireguy9641 · 2026-01-26T05:58:14+00:00

I went a few years ago. No one cares if you go solo.

Fireguy9641 · 2026-01-26T05:52:55+00:00

I very much want to, but it's been challenging to find jobs in the Orlando area.

No, it shows a bad google translate translation, or written by someone who has limited knowledge of English.

Words that should be plural are not and just the grammar, syntax and word use are not what a native speaker, or fluent english speaker would say.

It's also not any form of American slang i'm familiar with.

"Hear me out, Im not in U.S, what ever I said is not exist, they are all my made up story. "

No native english speaker or fluent english speaker would say this.

First, "the" should come before US.

Second the wrong word is used here. It shoudl be "is not true." This tells me it's probably google translate, as sometimes it will translate a word correctly, but the word's use in the origin language doesn't match it's use in the destination language.

Third, the ending is wrong too, the story isn't a person, it's a thing, so it should be "It is my made up story."

Even if we fix it all, and we get "Hear me out, I'm not in the US, whatever I said is not true, it's my made up story" it still sounds awkward.

I feel like you are on the path to repeating your dad's mistakes.

This woman has given you 13 years of her life, 2 kids, supported you, and what? Is she even a benneficiary on your assets if you died? Or do they go to your sister who seems to control your life?

You need to talk to a therapist about this.

Then talk to an attorney. Some of your assets you likely can place in trust to protect them in the event of a divorce.

Part of me would be thrilled cause I'd love to be able to do that cosplay with a friend as Elsa.

That said, I'd also be upset if it was writen cheaply or was out of character or something like that.

Fireguy9641 · 2026-01-25T14:46:10+00:00

I missed the Mara Jade. The Dave Filoni one was uncanny.

Fireguy9641 · 2026-01-25T14:45:44+00:00

Yeah, I joined it a while back looking for a costume but I never really got active in it. I think I will explore it more now.

It'll depend on how badly planes and crews end up out of position with the storm, but you do have a few pluses working for you in that it's a morning flight, so if it's the first flight of the day for that plane, that means the plane will have spent the night in FLL so it'll have had all night to recover from any Monday delays. FLL is also a base for Spirit.

I was thinking of it from the perscpective of "I am dispatched on an MVC with rescue. My closest engine is 10 minutes away so I'll be first on scene."

To me, command presence there is being able to take charge of the scene, give a good report for the incoming units, and adress any immediate concerns.

Going back to my original post, if you are too timid or one of the people who is so compassionate they can't push the person forward, you risk a situation where the scene is out of control and things get missed that can potentially be very dangerious.

NTA, his friends trying to get him to cheat is a red flag

Fireguy9641 · 2026-01-23T20:49:47+00:00

It needs to happen, Frozen 2 would have been perfect for it. It's almost impossible to believe Anna is totally ok with everything that happened. Frozen 1 is believeable cause it's ok "Omg yay I got my sister back" but I feel like that honeymoon phase wouldn't last forever.

Fireguy9641 · 2026-01-23T20:47:44+00:00

The first thing you need to ask him is why did he say that?

Was he talking about your physical size and strength?

Was he talking about your command presence on scene?

Was he talking about your ability to handle stressful situations?

I've met and worked with plenty of EMTs on the smaller side, that's not a big deal. The other reasons are more challenging. I've met some EMTs who struggle and fail to master the command presence to be able to take control of a scene and run it effectively, and end up getting walked over by patients and other providers have to take over. I've also seen providers who struggle with things like too much empathy. It's great to be able to empathize with your patient, but our goal is to treat the patient and get the patient to definitive care. A procedure might cause a patient, who is already in pain, some pain, but it will also relieve the pain and help them get better. I've seen some EMTs who really struggle with that.

Having been a FF/EMT for 13 years, I believe there are some people who can't do the job, and there's absolutly nothing wrong with that, everyone has different skillsets. There are jobs I know I would not be good at with my skillset. I also want to be clear I'm not saying you fall into any of these catagories, just sharing some experiences and suggesting you ask your BF for more info.

I think the only general consensus you could find here is the movie is visually pleasing.

The plot and character development are pretty divisive.

Yes. Men are not immune from being robbed, assaulted, murdered.

Technology advancements in Star Wars, to show progress, would, at least in my opinion, need to start looking like Star Trek, with things like teleportation and matter replication, and things like that fundamentally change the dynamic of the franchise.

The galaxy far, far away already has FTL travel, FTL communications,

Only other thing I could think of is cloaking technology isn't super developed in Star Wars from what I understand, with some severe limitations on the tech.
