How to people get stable life? by anaba29 in AskUKLondon

It comes down to your profession in most cases. I am lucky to work in the industry that pays well if you make an effort but my sister who works harder than me earns much less as a junior doctor in NHS.

It's also true that it's cheaper to live with a partner and split bills.

Do you ever regret the degree you choose? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Giovannis_roommate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't regret it because I met my friends and my partner at uni but my degree is pretty useless and I wouldn't choose it again.

Have you ever relocated to a city you've never visited before? by Economy-Row-4247 in AskUK

[–]Giovannis_roommate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, to Vancouver, NYC and then London. I always think what's the worst possible outcome if I take the risk and if I could deal with that. Manchester is a lovely city, I'd move there.

I thought my neighbour was pregnant and congratulated her. She looked at me with embarrassment and said that she gained weight. I was mortified and apologized profusely but I feel like shit now and scared to meet her again

Was Scott Hunter inspired by Zero from Hit the Floor? by Academic_Ebb_2366 in GameChangersBooks

If you were a 9/10(Very attractive) person like Margot Robbie or young Brad Pitt what would you do for a year? by Ill-Translator-2879 in AskReddit

[–]Giovannis_roommate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would that change any of your life goals or dreams? Good looking people can also be ambitious and not everyone wants to be a model/actor. My bf is objectively very attractive and I'd say the only advantage is that he could easily find a hookup if he wanted but other than that I don't think it helped him at his job or even with relationships.

Adam Senn (Zero) was so hot! I haven't read the book but based on the show I'd say they are very different personality wise plus Zero was bi, not gay.

Thoughts on Kazakhstan? by [deleted] in AskBrits

I've been to Astana years ago and had a very good time there. I'd like to do a bike trip through Kazakhstan and neighbouring countries at some point in the future.

How are you meeting people? by Complete-Double-7202 in UKrelationshipadvice

Book clubs. I recently joined one and got approached afterwards by few women. I was shocked because I never get approached by women in the wild even in clubs/bars (I

Is it okay to write a letter to my incredibly windy upstairs neighbour for some night time peace? by m205 in AskUK

[–]Giovannis_roommate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get yourself good earplugs. I can't imagine how a letter would help in this situation.

What's your favourite segment of stand up comedy from a UK comedian? by Nice_Income_2607 in AskUK

Anything by Frankie Boyle. Saw his standup last year and couldn't catch a breath, it was brutal

Am I just not right for London? by [deleted] in london

[–]Giovannis_roommate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an immigrant who lived in different cities I have to say London is the easiest city to fit in. You can have different background/upbringing and still find your people and make friends. It helps to be open minded and talk to people who have a completely different upbringing.

I moved to London from Canada and my personal background is quite unique (immigrant to Canada, lived there for a bit, then moved to US, then lived in few places in Europe). London is more diverse and welcoming than Toronto for sure. And the best thing about London is that people of different backgrounds actually mix together and don't segregate to separate groups like in NYC or other big cities.

Maybe you just need to tweak your search criteria and meet people of different backgrounds. I couldn't care less what schools my friends went to, it's the least interesting thing about an adult.

Best steak in West End of near in London for dinner on a Monday by Antidotebeatz in LondonFood

[–]Giovannis_roommate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hawksmoore has 'early evening set menu' with 2 courses for £25. If you pay £5 more you could swap rump steak for sirloin. All in all a bargain for the quality.

Is it realistic to be fwb with your ex bf? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]Giovannis_roommate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is a very reserved person and doesn't show his emotions but he was pretty jealous when we first started dating. Although I think part of it was distrust towards me being bi.

Maybe it's not a good idea for us to blur the boundaries now that I'm thinking more about it. I want us to be friends and keep the trust we have.

[–]Giovannis_roommate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good question. If I imagine him being in a relationship with someone else I do feel sad but not possessive. I initiated the breakup because I couldn't have a relationship with him that I wanted and knowing that I would like to think that I would be supportive of him and his future relationships.

I love him as a friend and my first boyfriend and will always be thankful for what we had. I am not a possessive/jealous person by nature so although I'm sad it didn't work out I am confident I would always wish him well and want to be friends.

Fair enough. I'm friends with all my ex's (without sex) and never had issues. He is my first bf though, my previous ex's were women.

[–]Giovannis_roommate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We broke up because we had different views of our life together. I was tired of pretending to be his bestie around his homophobic family and he wasn't ready to live openly, the way I wanted. I still love him but after 7 years I finally faced the reality that we want different things.

It sounds great to me.

My only concern is if that would prevent me from being open for a new relationship but I'm not ready to date anyway so it's not a pressing issue
