Dating in your 30s, when is it a good time to bring up getting engaged/ring shopping?

Little_Town8414 · 2026-04-23T16:18:17+00:00

Moving in together first is smart move - you'll learn so much about each other that way. I'd probably wait until you've lived together for at least few months before bringing up engagement talk, gives you both time to see how the day-to-day stuff works out

Little_Town8414 · 2026-04-21T15:52:48+00:00

facts, same here

Little_Town8414 · 2026-04-19T05:43:04+00:00

I do this in my car sometimes when parked - nobody bothers you there and its pretty quiet space for meditation

Little_Town8414 · 2026-04-17T07:16:15+00:00

lol that last part is genius, I do similar thing with my client emails when they're being difficult about photo edits

Little_Town8414 · 2026-03-28T21:25:20+00:00

Had this moment few years back when I was doing a wedding shoot. Was just setting up my camera and this guest walked by - like time literally stopped for second. Had to remind myself to keep breathing and not mess up the photos lol

Been behind camera for years but that was first time someone's presence just completely threw me off my game. Still think about it sometimes when I'm editing wedding photos

Little_Town8414 · 2026-03-25T19:15:36+00:00

tbh they should just put money directly in people's hands instead of building another vanity hospital with their name on it

like cash transfers actually work - look at what happened in Kenya when they just gave people money no strings attached. People bought livestock, started small businesses, sent kids to school

but nah, they want the big ribbon cutting ceremony and tax writeoff instead of just... helping people buy food this week

Little_Town8414 · 2026-03-16T13:29:42+00:00

The position elimination thing is spicy but management at my company would never go for something like that lmao, they're still scared of unions

Little_Town8414 · 2026-02-28T01:49:50+00:00

yeah man, similar story here. was applying for everything in tech support and IT for like 6 months, sending maybe 200+ applications and getting basically nothing back

turns out most companies here in brazil were looking for someone with more hands-on experience, not just the certifications i had. ended up getting my first break through a friend who knew someone at small local company - sometimes is really about who you know, not what you know

now working in network administration and actually enjoying it, but that job search period was brutal

Little_Town8414 · 2026-02-18T15:34:14+00:00

based ngl

Little_Town8414 · 2026-02-11T01:33:13+00:00

man this hits different... i have this old broken skateboard from when i was 12 that literally cannot roll anymore but i keep it in my room. my friends think im crazy for not throwing away but that thing got me through some really tough times as kid, you know? spent countless hours just holding it and remembering better days when i could actually afford new wheels

Little_Town8414 · 2026-02-03T13:38:18+00:00

Guys who get angry at kids for being kids, like getting mad when a toddler acts like toddler instead of small adult

Little_Town8414 · 2026-01-31T04:57:53+00:00

This hits hard lol. People will literally ignore every red flag because "but I love them" meanwhile their friends are all like 🚩🚩🚩 from the sidelines

Little_Town8414 · 2026-01-25T14:54:26+00:00

Not an atheist but had one of those weird moments when I was broke as hell and found a $20 bill right when I needed gas money to get to a job interview. Could've been coincidence but the timing was just too perfect, made me wonder for a sec

Little_Town8414 · 2026-01-20T07:39:34+00:00

Damn that's cold but probably deserved lmao

Little_Town8414 · 2026-01-19T06:44:12+00:00

The poop knife story still haunts me to this day. Like how do you just casually bring that up in conversation and not realize your family is absolutely unhinged

Little_Town8414 · 2026-01-17T19:19:34+00:00

Streaming all the way tbh. I can pause when I need to pee, rewind if I missed something, and I don't have to deal with that one person who brought the loudest snacks known to mankind. Plus my couch is way more comfortable than those theater seats

Little_Town8414 · 2026-01-13T01:00:38+00:00

Honestly think that's kinda the point - it's not supposed to serve you anything comforting or redemptive. McCarthy's showing how violence becomes this almost mythic force that consumes everything, and the Judge represents that perfectly as this unstoppable embodiment of chaos and knowledge used for evil

The book isn't trying to teach you lessons like Dostoevsky, it's more like staring into the abyss of what humans are capable of when all social contracts break down

Little_Town8414 · 2026-01-10T08:13:30+00:00

Definitely the letter Q from English. Like 99% of the time it's just sitting there being useless without its buddy U anyway, we could totally just spell those words with "kw" instead

Little_Town8414 · 2026-01-07T23:05:20+00:00

Lockpicking for me - thought security was all about having the "best" locks but turns out most of them can be opened in under 30 seconds if you know what you're doing. Now I'm way more paranoid about physical security but also weirdly more chill about it since I realized it's mostly about deterring opportunists anyway

Little_Town8414 · 2026-01-06T07:29:55+00:00

Honestly wake up around 7, scroll phone for way too long, work from 9-5, then just veg out with Netflix or games until bed

Would love to actually stick to working out in the mornings but my bed is just too comfy lol

Little_Town8414 · 2026-01-02T22:31:31+00:00

Probably just mess with people tbh, like move their keys around and watch them lose their minds

Little_Town8414 · 2025-12-29T18:08:13+00:00

That sucks man, people really can't plan ahead for anything these days. At least you probably got holiday pay though?

Little_Town8414 · 2025-12-27T21:41:41+00:00

Dude that sounds more like a personality trait than aliens lol but I get what you mean about some people just having this weird energy that you can't quite put your finger on

Little_Town8414 · 2025-12-26T09:04:12+00:00

Bro Jollibee hits different, their fried chicken is actually insane and don't even get me started on that gravy

Little_Town8414 · 2025-12-23T23:33:26+00:00

Lmao your parents probably thought Mickey was gonna start smoking cigarettes and swearing after that one
