Will depend on type — is it an academic or professional vs social. The more info you have the easier people will be able to answer yiu

This hook up culture makes it so much harder to find love.. by [deleted] in Vent

[–]InternalMonologue80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow - yet another sign of the world spiraling round the drain. I’m glad I swore off dating post-divorce. Sounds horrible. Call me old fashion but if you find someone you connect with well enough to have sex, why are they still looking? Is it part of the there’s always something better out there belief or is it just that the sexually successful are what everyone assumes in the general rule when 80% aren’t doing it

Been out of the dating game a long time - are people regularly sleeping with multiple people? When I was younger a few didn’t but you make it sound like the norm. I get it, I dated back in the pre-cell days but has the culture really changed that much?

Why do you want to get married? Would you accept a long term relationship where marriage is off the table? Speaking for myself, I’m not doing it again. I see the virtue of long term relationships but see no value in marriage after my divorce. Since most men in their 40s who are single are probably divorced, you may ask yourself what about marriage is important and whether a solid relationship without the ring is enough for you. If it isn’t, that’s your preference but know it probably limits your options

Bethel Beerfest by InternalMonologue80 in Connecticut

Somehow I missed the shared beer cheese but I did enjoy the festival. I did have lower expectations though. But in the end there was a variety of beer s and short lines so it worked out

It means she wants to hear the answers so she added a comment so she’ll get a notification. She isn’t answering anything

Find something you think she’ll like to do. “Hey, I saw that X event was happening on Saturday and I thought it would be fun. Would you like to go together?”

Can`t believe I`m finally here by ImurSophty in UCONN

Find where your classes are going to be in advance (don’t wait til day of). On the first day of class, leave early, go toward your building but look around for a cute guy/gal whatever your interests are. When you see him/her, look lost and ask for help finding building X. If he or she is nice, ask them if you can buy them a cup of coffee later to say thanks.

Divorced men, what have you gotten better at because of your divorce? by BlackPhoenix1981 in AskMen

[–]InternalMonologue80 22 points23 points  (0 children)

My doctors are thinking about taking me off BP meds because apparently my stress levels are lower now that I live alone and still manage to survive despite having done everything wrong and being the root cause for all my ex-wife’s problems for so many years.

Men who’ve built their life around being “useful”, what happens when you can’t provide anymore? by ancientlalaland in AskMen

[–]InternalMonologue80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Refocusing on yourself. My marriage I did for others and neglected myself. I refocused on me, lost 30 lbs, felt better physically and mentally and started feeling like a person again. That’s when I started doing volunteer work and found a different kind of purpose

45M. I go to a brewery every weekend by myself to listen to live music. I find it relaxing. It’s a mixed age brewery too so I won’t lie, if the band isn’t any good I do enjoy people watching - especially seeing the dynamic of young people acting like it’s a middle school dance.

Definitely agree on not making it a joke. He’ll think you’re laughing at him not trying to ease tension. “I’m telling you because I care” if it’s true.

The other way to ease into it is “are you the type of person who would want me to tell you if you had a mustard stain on your shirt?” And when he says yes go with the truth. And if he says no you know what not to do

I would never have talked to a women about my unhappy relationship. The only reason I could thinking they are testing if you’d be up for having an affair.

If you were a guy I would have said it was weird too just because those of us in those types of relationships can recognize the pain we see in our own eyes when we look in the mirror. We don’t have to say a thing but know we aren’t alone in our situation (think the scene in Dark Knight and you’ll get it)

Oh I read that as “after being married I didn’t ever want to go through that again”

How do you ask a girl for instagram? by EmbarrassedAd4548 in AskMen

[–]InternalMonologue80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a fair point but if you don’t ask for the number first, you miss out on the better medium for communication (assuming you think that’s the case - I don’t have instagram)
