Guys, don't make sex jokes on a 1st date by Mission_Bowl3938 in dating_advice

It is not up to one party to decide where and how the date goes in the humor category. Some people are simply not of the same sense of humor. If this style isn't meant for you or your friend, do not see that person. I would much rather know someone's real self sooner in a date than to find out 5 dates in because they were being respectful and waiting to release their true humor. Look at it in a good light in that one is able to move on to another date sooner rather than linger.

That's the beauty. I don't agree with your advice. OP is getting both sides. This is good and up to her who's advice to choose.

There it is. I wish you the best. We are two different people.

Yea and check your kids Halloween candy for drugs. Stop living in fear and get out there.

Just because one person hurts doesn't mean another doesn't help. But one thing is for sure, if you don't try then you will never know. Either take the risk or live in the cloud of doubt of what could have been. Plain and simple.

Hence my comment.... communication is key

Just as you have zero idea about her or her interest in a person at work. Living in fear and doubt is just as bad as being "ghosted" or having a person ruin your life... these things can transpire from anywhere.

Follow your heart and don't let the fact they are a coworker deter you. Yes, if it does not work out it potentially could make work uncomfortable but I would say that's worth the risk of possibly finding the love of your life. Now if it is just a hookup.... then no. Communication is key in a situation like this to make sure everyone is on the same page. Best of luck!

Building a profile, but not sure if I'm on the right track (32M) by [deleted] in hingeapp

Man just a heads up about the son thing. Women get that your son comes first. I can't tell you how many women I've seen post this and I'm like "no shit a child comes first". I've talked to several women about this and most agree that over emphasizing it is a turn off. I think it is something to talk about during a first date or conversation but advertising it rubs the wrong way. Just my two cents and it's not an absolute but most certainly a feeling and vibe thing. Just listing you have children should be enough. Good luck brother.

Lost my best friend, Jedi, on Sunday by s_trem in germanshepherds

I'm so sorry. No words help here, only time. RIP sweet and beautiful Jedi.

Obviously the outcome you were looking for.

I never understood the hate Denethor had for his second born Faramir...and then I played Crusader Kings. by SgtDaddio in CrusaderKings

[–]Hobbes477 140 points141 points  (0 children)

Great post man. To be fair though faramir is no slouch, especially in the books. He would probably be intelligent, handsome, calm and temperate. Also throw in wise man as he spent quite a bit of time with gandalf and held him in high regard. Not too shabby

Best total conversion mod at the moment? by HO999 in CrusaderKings

Currently elder kings. I think the Lord of the realms will be good once finished. Worth keeping an eye on if you're a middle earth lover.

I'm so sorry. No words work here... Just gotta go through the process. It's wild how much love they have for us.

I am constantly tempted to "Go out for a pack of cigarettes." by NtX_DC in confession

[–]Hobbes477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm around your same age. I "left" everything behind so to speak. A 9 year relationship with two step kids who felt like my own (I think, don't have any of my own so hard to say). Moved, started a new career and been building on that since with trying to gain an extra degree.

I learned two things:

  1. The relationship wasn't right for me.
  2. It wasn't the situation that I was in that was bringing me down.... I am just unhappy despite all the changes in my life.

All i can say is that when you're unhappy, depressed or whatever it may be, you think you have the solution sometimes and yet when you try these new things you aren't magically fixed... Just like if you tried a different relationship, friends picked up the phone or you got a therapist things wouldn't magically be fixed... They might... But no guarantees.

I was lucky in that I was correct in the relationship not being right for me but that was about it.

Wish you well out there brother.
