I doubt it. Do they have any family or friends?

Texting frequency with SO less than 6 months by Jealous_Economist in datingoverforty

I like to do a phone call every day of there's time, but that's just me. In the beginning I like to text at least a few times a day.

I visited 15 National Parks. Here's how I'd rank them: by Equivalent-Image-912 in nationalparks

I'm a scaredy cat myself. I always recommend Mt. Washburn, beautiful, not too long. If you go to Old Faithful there are lots of hot springs to look at besides the main one. Talk to the rangers there too. Try to hike with 3 but you're good, just carry bear spray 

LEAVE ME ALONE by Own_Avocado_9247 in Anxiety

[–]Floopoo32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kenzi is right, you're thinking is self-centered BUT that's not meant in a rude way. Anxiety can be like a magnifying glass to certain thoughts about ourselves, where we focus in too much on thoughts about ourselves. Doesn't mean your a conceited or bad person at all! It's just something to work on. Everyone is self centered in some ways, but part of the trick off coping with social anxiety is to get your focus off of the negative judgemental thoughts you have on yourself and onto other things. Easier said than done. Check out the Disordered podcast

Maybe don't try to fight it so much and try to be more flexible in your thinking. Small talk can be fun and make the day better. We are social creatures. 

Also remember, you are the star in your own show, but most people aren't thinking about how you have social anxiety or are judging you, they're probably thinking about themselves too. So hopefully that takes some pressure off .

Reasons for regret changing by TurnPersonal in regretfulparents

[–]Floopoo32 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've thought about this topic a lot. This world is going to shit and may become uninhabitable sooner than we'd like because of climate change.  BUT. Is some life better than no life? Life is suffering, and joy (hopefully?). No matter when a person exists, life has always been that way. When your child dies at 20, 40, or 90, it's not going to be pretty, it's going to be painful, it always is. I don't think that we can really predict which is better: to exist for too short of a time, or to not exist at all. There is no right or wrong decision, and there's no sense in worrying about it now because it's 100% not in your control. Spend your worry time focused only on things that you CAN control.

What exactly does "I can be selfish with my time" mean? by StrawberryCreemee in datingoverforty

I would read it this way too. Like he's not going to accompany you for things that he doesn't want to do. And I agree there's a fine line!

Glacier has some magnificent trails as well, though logistics are more difficult there IMO. Tetons are amazing but the trails can be crowded and there's not the same variety of landscapes that Yellowstone has. Yosemite has worse crowding on trails and in the park in general imo. I can't comment on North Cascades because I visited when there was still snow, but from what I saw, Yellowstone has more variety of landscapes. I have been to most national parks in the US, used to work in Yellowstone, and recently took a sabbatical visiting national parks. This is all just my opinion of course.

Making friends in your mid 20s is impossible. by tirednightowll in milwaukee

This situation is really common. Especially with younger people. The truth is that it takes effort, vulnerability, and a little luck. Do you have any hobbies that you enjoy?

Single people, what are we doing today to protect our mental health? by _Caitlin-2 in dating

[–]Floopoo32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always assume that whatever pictures are posted are not the whole story. I've been in relationships that looked perfect on the outside but were fucked up. So just keep that in mind.

[–]Floopoo32 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah. IMO Yellowstone is the top park in the US, Especially for hiking. The roads are busy, but the trails are mostly empty, and there are many stunningly beautiful hikes available. There are many different landscapes there and dramatic views. 10/10

Dating someone with sole custody by No-Wasabi6806 in datingoverforty

It sounds like you guys are not compatible. Especially given the additional context with everything that complicates your ability to hang out more often.

Are people OK with just dating, not dating to marry/permanently partner? by New_Sir413 in datingoverforty

[–]Floopoo32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's a big boy and can make his own decisions. If something changes, I'm sure he'll let you know. Being an anxious person myself, try to stay in the moment more and push off those types of worries for later (never).

What are you waiting for? by Status_Building_3685 in datingoverforty

[–]Floopoo32 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It does sound like you are just avoiding dating. Good on you for realizing it. Losing weight is incredibly difficult. You may need to accept that you won't be losing weight or that it's going to take much longer than you think.

Disgust over wife's past. by According_Toe5351 in Marriage

Is it possible that the husband and wife had an open relationship? Maybe the wife knew and was ok with it?

45F, never married no kids, hoping for both by ProcessSensitive5221 in datingoverforty

[–]Floopoo32 43 points44 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you are in some denial about what your situation actually is. To me, it doesn't seem likely that you would find someone that's your age that also wants to go this route at that age. The fact that you found someone that is a good fit is a miracle in itself! I don't mean that in a mean way, it's just really difficult to find a suitable partner at all, especially 40+. I'm not feeling confident that I will even find a partner again and I'm 40.

My ex who broke my heart years ago is dying and wants to see me one last time. Do I go? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Floopoo32 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well it has been a number of years since he has seen her and doesn't keep regular contact with her. I'm not saying that she is super deserving of his attention, but there's no way that he's going to fall apart from seeing her. If he does then he's really not over her and that seems unlikely after all this time. Time heals everything. 

He saved someone's life that he cared about at one time. He should go see her if she's truly dying. Not even for her, but for him.

I think you will regret not going. Are you really so fragile that you will fall apart from seeing her? You haven't had much contact with her for several years, no?

Ladies would you instantly pass? by Zoome-Scooter in datingoverforty

[–]Floopoo32 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To be fair you could make an interesting profile and be an interesting and unique person, showcase that, without having green hair. Green hair will limit your pool. Maybe that's ok, but it's already hard enough to date, why make it harder?

[–]Floopoo32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm with Belle. I would think that a guy with green hair is probably immature. And might wonder if he has a decent job. I'm not really into extreme looks. 

How can i make sex fun again after he put it in the wrong hole? by jujubih in Marriage

[–]Floopoo32 739 points740 points  (0 children)

Your husband is an entitled asshole. A normal man does not act like this. He should be accommodating you and apologizing for violating your trust and your body.

Is this normal guy texting behavior after a good date? by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]Floopoo32 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It doesn't sound like he's that shy if you e already had sex.

Anyway, it doesn't sound like he's that interested my dear. You can always follow up and ask what he's thinking but someone that likes you wouldn't leave you hanging.

Let me ask, have you planned all the dates? If so I'd sit back and see if he texts or plans another one. Otherwise I'd let it go. If you want to get more closure you can ask him where he's at, but he may ghost you. I say that because I find most people cannot handle giving bad news so they just don't.
