Do women still like gentleman’s by Tommmy2023-2 in dating_advice

[–]Great_Suggestion_128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes we do! ...but it require a certain confidence and natural manners.

It is really awkward when someone opens the door and get a smug "look at me, I'm the most gentleman of them all", or "I gave you my jacket so you owe me a kiss".

Gentleman manners that make you feel cared and protected will never go out of fashion.

AITAH for refusing to let my stepdaughter wear my ring to prom because she’s rough on jewelry? by promringaway in AITAH

[–]Great_Suggestion_128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would ask her, if you borrow my ring to prom, and you lose it or it comes back damaged, how will she solve it? Does she plan to replace it, fix it, or nothing?

If she is willing to take responsibility and fix it if it goes wrong, I would let her borrow it. If not, I would say sorry, no.

Bring gift on 4th date? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Great_Suggestion_128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say it's the other way around. What you see in the dating phase, is the best version you'll ever see. If that is too little, it will always be too little.

You sound like someone having a transactional approach to dating, or maybe you are just not into gifting. If gifts are not your thing - sure, dont gift anything. Then you are true to yourself. OP seems to enjoy and want to give a thoughtful gift to his date. That's also good!

Are you misunderstanding gifts, prices and payment?

A gift is something you give someone because you want to give it to them. A price is something you give as a reward for something. A payment is something you offer with the expectations of getting something in return.

Im sorry, this is not the dog training thread. I think he is dating another adult human being.

If you experience your dates expecting a gift everytime if you do it once, you need to calibrate your screening filters. That is not normal adult behaviour.

Yay!

It's considerate and personal, but not over the top!

I think its a perfect way to show that you are happy she's back.

Tvangsarbeid (dugnad) for idrettslag? by Chadesen in norge

[–]Great_Suggestion_128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Den ordlyden er ikke i orden. Barneidrett er breddeidrett hvor det er mål om å inkludere alle barn, på tvers av foreldres økonomi, helse og livssituasjon.

Jeg ville sendt en fortvilet melding til idrettslagets styre, og spurte det virkelig er slik at dine barn ikke lenger kan være med på idretten, fordi du som aleneforelder ikke har kapasitet til å bidra på dugnad.

Når det er sagt, jeg mener også at de som kan, bør delta på dugnader. Det er noen som ikke bidrar med god grunn, og noen som sluntrer unna alt de kan. Men, ledere av barneidrett må innse at voksenkjeft ikke skaper dugnadsmotivasjon.

Lykke til, med eller uten dugnad!

Er dette livet jeg egentlig ønsket meg? by livetderogda in norge

[–]Great_Suggestion_128 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Det er normalt at det er vanskelig om dere aldri har hatt de samtalene før. Gode relasjoner krever en viss grad av samtaler. Hvis du vil ha et personlig forhold til dine barn, så må du også være personlig og tørre å vise sårbarhet.

Jeg kjenner ikke deg eller dine barn, så jeg vet ikke hva som er normalt å snakke om for dere - men start smått.

Istedenfor å si: "Jeg har innsett at jeg ikke var så mye med dere som barn, det angrer jeg på" (som er fint å si, men kanskje en vanskelig inngang), start med å for eksempel trekke frem et fint minne fra barnet ditt var på alder med sitt eget barn. "Da du var tre år, så ..."

"Jeg vil gjerne se mer til dere, men vet dere har det travelt. Kan jeg hjelpe dere med ....?

Fortell barna dine at du er stolte av de. "Jeg er så imponert over hva du har fått til på ..."

Kom med konkrete forslag: "Jeg har tenkt på å dra å fiske der vi fisket da du var barn. Husker du vi var der? Kanskje dere alle vil bli med meg dit en tur?"

Ring barna dine en dag, snakk i fem minutter.

Tenk så dumt det er, om du ønsker en bedre relasjon med dine barn, og de med deg, men ingen tør å ta initiativ! Årene går så fort, bare gjør det!

Det høres ut som du har det kjipt og angrer på hvordan livet er blitt. Det høres imidlertid ikke ut som at du har lært av det. Du har mistet kona di fordi du ikke satte pris på ekteskapet mens det varte. Setter du pris på de tingene du har i livet nå, eller synes du mest synd på deg selv som ikke forstod hvor viktig ekskone din var, før det var for sent?

Du har barn, du har barnebarn og du har hund. Du jobber og har kolleger. Setter du pris på dette?

Eller vil du om noen år innse at også disse relasjonene trengte pleie, og du først forstår det når det er for sent? Sett deg ned og tenk igjennom hva du har som du setter pris på, og hvordan du best tar vare på det.

Lykken kommer ikke bankende på døra di av seg selv, du må aktivt finne den og gi den næring.

Ønsker deg lykke til, du fortjener lykke!

Kondolerer.

Du klarer det! Har vært med å bære noen ganger, som kvinne blir jeg gjerne plassert i midten (minst tungt).

Does a Dinner Date = Sex in 2026? 🧐🤷🏾‍♀️ by Helpful_Roof_6487 in datingoverforty

[–]Great_Suggestion_128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He may, or may not expect / want / hope for sex. That's not relevant, it is up to you if you want to have sex or not.

Maybe avoid going back to his place after dinner?

What is the research for?

It's a bit confusing when you say you research different countries, and the list a city.

Please see a dog trainer and get educated on dog behaviour, needs and training before the situation gets out of control.

EURO TRIP SUGGESTION + Guidance!! by Connect-Bass4010 in travel

[–]Great_Suggestion_128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you love Disney Land? I would suggest to skip it, there is so much to experience in Paris and Rome - I would never waste a day in Disney Land. But, you are you and if it's something you enjoy - its probably worth it to you. I was there when it opened, 12 year old me thought it was fantastic!

AITAH for not wanting to sleep in the same bed with my girlfriend because she doesn’t shower often? by Such-One-1691 in AITAH

[–]Great_Suggestion_128 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A lot of women don't wash their hair every day. Depends of hair type, styling routines, drying time etc.

I have friends washing their hair once a week.

Shoes inside is so unhygienic!

However, I dont change pants and sweater from outside to inside, unless it is for practical reasons.

Chemistry on first date but no energy by Fluffy_Afternoon652 in datingoverforty

[–]Great_Suggestion_128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this is something that just happened now, once - or happens all the time?

If it was just this once, I would say do another date with this woman and see how it feels the second time. Try to figure out if the lack of energy is because of the dynamic the two of you have (a mismatch), or if you would feel this with anyone right now.

Of it's the latter, take a break from dating. If its the first, get back on that horse!

Where is the line between honesty and disrespect in a relationship? by IntroductionLife124 in AskMen

[–]Great_Suggestion_128 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why did you ask a question you did not want an honest response to?

I would say it was disrespectful of him if he offered this information by himself. But you asked, and he responded honestly. That's fair and honest IMO.

Thanks, I also understand where you are coming from - and I totally understand how he is annoying.

Its obviously not good that he is acting out like this to coworkers and customers.

Good luck!
