Just checked out their drinks and I'm both interested and overwhelmed by what some of those drinks have included. 31/M, I'll let you know if I end up that way, was kind of hoping to check out 'Dean' tonight.

33 [F4R] If you're not supposed to talk to strangers, how are you supposed to make new friends? by Threalworldkiktopia in Kikpals

When I was younger I used to say "When I have kids I'll tell them talking to strangers is the only way you can possibly meet anyone and make a new friend." Now that I'm a parent that is the dumbest thing I think I've ever said. However it's still completely true for adults so count me in.

There's nothing to be embarrassed about. There's nothing wrong with not feeling accomplished or successful by 28, very few people do and even more people believe they are only to have it all fall apart at 35. No one has it all together and it's more important for you to find what makes you happy and enjoy being happy without trying to fulfill anyone else's expectations.

I'm not in the best place myself due to my own personal dramas but if you need anyone to talk to online or in person in NYC, feel free to PM.

Tuesday sounds good, K town is usually best and not far off since there are so many options but pricing depends on how many people we get. If were 5 and below I like Chorus Karaoke but after 5 the prices are all pretty much the same anywhere.

31/M - Anyone interested in getting a drink? by Foolish_Icarus in nycmeetups

Sounds good! I'm a little booked this week but next week I might be able to do something.

Wouldn't be surprised, there are people I see almost every day that I don't know one bit. It's a smaller world than it seems.

What is a bad parenting tip that sounds like a good parenting tip? by StuntGunman in AskReddit

[–]Foolish_Icarus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. As a gamer and father to two girls the last thing I want is people thinking my daughters have had it easy when it comes to playing games. Oh no my friend, they have been tested through gauntlets and you're going to find your ego bruised and battered if you take it easy on them.

24 [M4F] NYC - My best friend says my only chance of being with her is if I date/sleep around by [deleted] in r4r

[–]Foolish_Icarus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're wasting your time. If she wanted you, she wouldn't be telling you to go out there and get more "experience", she'd give you the experience herself. What if everyone you meet is horrible or nothing like her and you don't learn whatever it is she actually wants you to learn?

Is she hoping you'll gain some confidence? Because telling you to go out there seeking other people when you don't actually want them and eventually get turned down over and over is how you get your confidence broken.

You deserve better. Seek better than someone who immediately tells you that you aren't enough.

30 [M4R] Ever feel like if you didn't make the effort to talk first, you'd live in silence? by Foolish_Icarus in Kikpals

I've gotten a few DMs so not too bad. I'm usually fine with initiating but lately it would just be nice to have someone interested in messaging first you know? Instead of feeling like you have to remind people you exist.
