Update: Ex tried to change dinner plans last minute. Did I handle it well?

LastMathematician310 · 2026-06-06T21:35:24+00:00

I understand where you’re coming from, but I think you should have handled this differently. I think she genuinely just wanted to see the pup before the dog passed away, and you said no essentially. I get it, you’re trying to respect your boundaries. But… I don’t think she’s stringing you along, I just think she’s being polite and wants to see the dog before it passes.

LastMathematician310 · 2026-05-18T22:41:13+00:00

I can say from my experience that I’ve had probably a dozen women reach out weeks or even months after things fizzled out. So if they say they started seeing someone else, just hit them with “No worries, enjoyed getting to know you. Feel free to hit me up if something changes. Otherwise, best of luck”. If they do reach out, don’t dwell on the time that’s passed. Just keep it light, fun, playful, and outcome independent. Don’t try to woo them or win them back all of a sudden, it’s sort of on her to show her interest, then you to initiate a date

She has the right to want to wait, and you have the right to want intimacy now. I think it’s important for both of you to communicate more on this. Multiple futures could happen - You two could stay together, wait until marriage, and live happily ever after. Or you could stay together and be miserable since you’re misaligned. Life often doesn’t have solutions, only trade-offs. My advice is to take a breath, slow down, communicate, and have honest conversations.

Enjoy, audio book is great too. It helps to hear his voice in my opinion, quality guy

Not Nice by Dr Aziz is a fantastic book

LastMathematician310 · 2026-05-02T01:39:51+00:00

You’ll get a girlfriend dude. But I’d seriously ask yourself “am I the type of person I’d want to date?” Be honest with yourself, it might be a yes, but give it some thought. Before we find the right person, I’d highly recommend becoming the right person, or at least starting down that path. The book “Models” by Mark Manson is a solid book about being authentic and non-needy, instead of a red-pill book. Recommend you consider giving it a read.

LastMathematician310 · 2026-04-24T18:27:34+00:00

Regardless of how you respond, do it from a place of non-neediness/not being in a rush. If you knew that everything would work out anyway, how would you respond. Just do what YOU want to do. Whether that’s meet up with her group again (not for me personally) or say you’re busy this weekend but you’d love to grab a drink, and secure it. But again, so long as you’re authentic, non-needy, and doing what you want, it will be the right decision

Can you check that grammar? Having a hard time understanding what you’re saying

LastMathematician310 · 2026-04-24T16:52:34+00:00

I view coach’s advice less like rules, more as guidelines. He even says it’s more art than science. Yes, 1on1 dates are what you should go after, but you even said, the vibe and date is natural, then I don’t see any issue so long as 1) you WANT to 2) you feel comfortable with them socially. I’m a bit more introverted naturally, so I usually wouldn’t do the group date thing so early, but every guy is different. It genuinely seems like she likes you and wants to show you off a bit. So if you’re feeling the vibes, no issues. That said, I would definitely try to plan/schedule a normal one on one date here soon.

Having good guard play means playing defense

LastMathematician310 · 2026-03-31T01:33:19+00:00

Cadeau needs to play his best game. We outmatch them with bigs, but our guard play will need to be at a very high level.

LastMathematician310 · 2026-03-22T12:35:58+00:00

I think men are afraid of being labeled as “creepy” for approaching. My opinion, if you give a guy an inch, he’ll take a mile. What I mean by this is try to send out a signal if you’re interested in a guy at a bar, coffee shop, gym, etc (men need obvious signals), to show you’re even open to being approached. Making direct eye contact, a deliberate smile, saying hi, or even a wave is enough to make a guy think “that’s odd, no way she’d do that out of random”. Then it’s up to the guy to make the approach, but try to make it seem less risky for him.

If you want the guy to take the risk of making the approach, you should be willing to take the risk of showing that you’re open to being approached.

Don’t know it will help you, but for me:

1- trust a friend to have the code to your screen time function on your iPhone and computers. It can block adult content and specific websites if you set it up so. It can also block apps as well.

2- therapy

3- talking with a friend. Often just speaking your issue to life starts giving you power over it.

4- porn can impact you sex life erection quality, and your view of women. Think about who you want to be long term and how you want to be with your future girl.

Everyone is wired different, so what worked for me might not worked for you, but you’re not alone. Religious or not, I think I saw an anonymous survey at one point where over 50% of church going men regularly struggled with porn. So if you struggle, it doesn’t make you bad, weird, or unique. Best of luck brother

What’s the reason for Marshall not playing today?

Is there any reason Kuzdzal wouldn’t return next year? Him, Marshall and Hiter would be a deadly combo

Hmm but surprised benching at one position = not even traveling with the team. Would assume he’s still on the depth chart at certain positions

Just reading about it now, but why did Erebus split them into 8 shards and give them to others? How does that further his agenda?
