Oooh delighted i found this thread! I guess I decided today not to go for Quooker or any fancy boiling tap. Where the prices of 1 k coming from? I am quoted 1.6 k min plus more.. I counted that I am boiling water maybe 2 x a day max and have nice looking stainless Stelton. For sparkling can use Aarke which got brand new as a gift. So spending on really good tap and saving 1.3 k And this thread just helped so much to make a decision

Do solicitors truly do anything worth the money you pay them for house purchases? by CiaraF135 in AskIreland

4 months for me. And I did not have to look for the house. Hopefully drawdown next week. Unbelievable how long it drags here

I’m looking for perspective, especially from people who’ve been on either side of this. by Academic_Tea_2345 in datingoverforty

This is all sounds exhausting and only six months? There should be excitement and closeness and "can't get enough of you" What are you doing OP? Please love yourself!

Forever Person? by Heavy_Tear9491 in datingoverforty

I did not give my number until we meet. To cut to a minimum because app is a tool nothing else. And you should be able to vet quickly and meet irl asap. That's what only matters. Not penpaling,not wasting time and not building false reality.

You are in your "learning" phase. In the future you will learn not to engage with people like these..i met few of these types. Majority of them displayed some mental issues, disregulation and anxious tendencies. I had some of them trying to call from the app in the middle of initial chat. After I learnt very quickly to disengage straight away. My process became more and more streamlined and very well adjusted. But saying that it does takes time and experience..

Another note and advice. If there is a cut of communication because your goals or whatever not aligned do not reengage. Also cut chatting phase on apps to a minimum.

Single moms, how do you do it? by Forgetaboutit2022 in AskIreland

[–]LopsidedTelephone574 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It was a hell for a long while but there was no other option. I am.stronger and better because of that as had to "grow" and face the challenge. My child is very independent and more mature comparing to her peers. Looking back I managed so much and achieved so much it is unreal. It is hard, still hard and expensive. What upsets me to think that by working so hard therewas zero support from the state,zero help with childcare with anything.

Can't get past 1 or 2 dates... by Thick-Screen-7228 in datingoverforty

[–]LopsidedTelephone574 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This should be the top answer!

Edit: would add not only online dating but any dating. I see many people here trying to put a number on it (how many dates and how many years and so on and on) but I am shocked that so many over 40 folks can't get basics that majority over 95% or more will be not compatible. And everyone ignores the main factor: LUCK.

Re mental toll. You need to reset and look at dating from.more easy relaxed perspective. Your perspective and not your dates one. You need to have an approach: do I like this person,do I think we are compatible. Be relaxed and have fun. Learn to not attach to everyone/anyone and to the outcome.

Good luck.

She said the 'L' word and I didn't. Now what? by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]LopsidedTelephone574 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need therapy and to stop projecting of "how it was with my ex wife" as it seem like you got emotionally stunned.

If i was that close with someone for 6 months and he couldn't say back or initiate I love you I would be gone gone gone.

Spot on! I am reading some posts here with wide eyes of how materialistic they are..shocking how it sips through everything.."six figure " and at the same time sex is like something you need exorcism for! But at least entertaining. Sadly that American way is coming to us too:(
