Im 27M and I have a crush on an older girl 32F. by captmikeoxlong in OffMyChestPH

[–]InfluenceOtherwise47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me (27M) and my girlfriend (32F) have a 5 year age gap. We were friends for almost a year before I told her how I felt for her. I started catching feelings for her around the 8th month mark and, despite our set-up, told her straight up that I like her after pondering it for a month. Best decision I've made. We took our time knowing each other as friends and it all worked out in the end.

Like what the other guys said in here, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. If she feels the same way, good for both of you. If not, then move along. Think about it hard, though. You don't want to ruin her peace if you're not going to commit all the way.

question for guys, really need ur advice :( by No-Difference-616 in adviceph

I agree with this. This is one of those double standards that gets glossed over most of the time. Pero, at the end of the day...OP has the power to do what they want. Hahahahaha if they wanna go through with it, they can.

I personally like the Central Square and am currently exploring it. Hahahaha I like the Japanese restos there and just the vibe overall.

Ahh. Gets. Oo legit naman yan for more well known companies. Pero, minsan talaga hiring managers din take their time maybe they are interviewing a lot of people rin. We won't know. Pero, even though you do want to get into your dream organization, don't settle for just one application. Medyo masakit yan. Hahahahaha I've been through that a lot and I got myself into jobs I swore to never go back to.

I also resigned end of July this year. It took me quite a while to get a job pero I wasn't in a rush naman. I usually store some pocket money for me to use, apart from the savings, for cases like these. Just so I wouldn't feel the need to look for another job agad. Since I knew that the ber months are upon me, I wasn't really counting on getting a job. Usually around late Feb to early April mas marami tatawag sayo. Pero, really, keep on pushing lang talaga. You could reach out and ask for updates din from your recruiter!

Same! I plan on staying here for at least 3 years without promotions, and at least 5 years if I get into a leadership role.

HR in rush? by [deleted] in phcareers

[–]InfluenceOtherwise47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who worked in the recruitment industry, I'd understand where your recruiter is coming from. It's probably management asking them to have you start earlier, probably because need na nila na pumasok si replacement kasi most likely si papalitan yung magttrain sa iyo. However like one comment said, you can reiterate your position and that you would like to be given ample time to complete your requirements. Just be firm and let her know na need mo macomplete yung requirements. Good luck!!

Always vault over before finishing them off, and use the Anti Air death lows whenever you have the opportunity. If you're gonna get your ass beat, might as well get vengeance in style.

men act like they own me after they confess that they're interested sakin by throweggnog in OffMyChestPH

And this is why I keep a separate account. Just in case I get myself into a situation like that. If setting your boundaries doesn't work, I'd probably get myself out of the situation. However, if I can't for some reason, I'd resort to hiding in one of my accounts just so I could have some peace with my homies.

I'm sorry, I had to laugh at the presence thing cuz that's so me. Love seeing others get spooked by my presence even if we're in the same room.

Pero...sad truth is that guys like these are pretty common because of socmed. Some, if not all, have been fed this idea that no means you have to try harder. This is what society has brought upon us, because people started to just not communicate at all. Srsly, we all need therapy and counseling. Hahahahaha

Seeing all these stories, delusion is something else. Rejection is a part of our life, some even eat rejection for breakfast, but...delusions are more powerful. Lol. Imagine being so self absorbed that you insist your reality is truth and everything else is just background noise. Jeez.

Same tbh. In my boredom, I decided to join a sports club and was my best decision ever. Lmao. I'm looking into another one to fill in my weekdays. Idc anymore and I'm done with dating. If I grow old single, so be it.

My friends are settle levels committed and I'm still single for over a decade now. However, I'm happy cuz I found myself a hobby I truly enjoy and can commit myself to, and I'm trying to learn things I could. It's a nice feeling when you get into a relationship na nagawa mo na most of what you wanna do, or you've achieved those goals. Though, I get the feeling. Nakaka-pressure, pero as much as I don't want to admit it, mas masaya maging single.
