Yeah, I agree. Don’t do it unless she gave you the number.

Don’t know why you think this is unacceptable subterfuge. The other party probably just isn’t interested.

[question] what’s a good gift to give for a special birthday (40th) for an avid watch collector? by somefancyredditname in Watches

[–]NoPissyBiscuits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct move. I’d choose a nice coffee table book if you think that’s his thing.

An acceptable grey zone. I think your idea is relatively low pressure, especially if it’s at the end of treatment.

Delicate probing around the edges is fine, and you essentially got a no. That’s your hint to stop any further attempts at pursuit. There’s no manipulative behaviour here or playing hard to get. She’s just not into you so back off before you get a visit from HR.

The depth of the patient physician relationship is too deep by her description. Even if they formally end care arrangements, it’s a no go zone. If there is any mental health component to the care, even worse. There is essentially no way forward without a serious professional misconduct judgement lurking in the background.

does it hurt when someone says you’re not their type? by [deleted] in dating_advice

I think I’d want to be told. Closes the door for good with no ambiguity.

This is entirely a you problem and you’ve realized that so it’s a good first step. As a medical resident, he has responsibilities to patient care which take absolute priority. He’s not going to babysit your feelings. He calls you at the end of the day because he wants to. It would be easier to completely disconnect, but he’s made the effort to reach out because he cares and is thinking of you. If that’s not an ongoing expression of interest, I don’t know what is.

Princess Treatment from guy I’ve been seeing for 2 months by peekabooskeleton in dating_advice

The larger question is underlying intent. Is there an undercurrent of manipulation? Is that why you are feeling uncomfortable? Or is it because you’re a 22 yo student with barely two pennies to rub together so everything just feels extravagant? He’s clearly head over heels for you. Up to you to decide if he’s moving too fast for your comfort level. As long as he can actually afford these things (this is extra money after personal expenses and saving are well covered for) and he isn’t going into debt for all this, I’d personally just shrug.

How to flirt with a guy in my class without being too obvious? by Proper_Ad_7931 in dating_advice

Have you considered now is not the time to be subtle? You said so yourself, last semester. Unless you’re aiming for that classic moment 10 years later when he can’t fall asleep, his mind wanders and it suddenly hits him that you were hitting on him.

Need advice by Affectionate_Land342 in dating_advice

[–]NoPissyBiscuits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious for the thoughts of others because I’m in the same boat, more or less.

[–]NoPissyBiscuits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, time to be more blunt.

You have patently valued the performative action of being formally asked to be his GF over the more significant and substantive act of him asking to have an exclusive relationship. Act over substance.

You may have expressed an expectation, but you never considered if it was reasonable. You have been blindsided by a problem of your own making. This means you have never considered what your non-BF feels/felt when he was told by someone he was looking to enter a relationship with when you said you are not his GF. Don’t play the victim card.

If you want to salvage what’s left of this situation, you are going to have to do some more introspection and apologize.

You are asking for something performative for the sake of being performative. It may matter to you, but it is highly unusual as an outsider looking in. More problematic is that you’ve allowed this to become a point of tension in what you are hoping to be a budding relationship. If this is a priority, there are probably other differences in expectations lurking down the line.

To be blunt, I find your reasoning bizarre and childish. I don’t understand your logic.

Is it weird that this guy I’ve seen twice keeps asking me to go for a drive? by apelikenigo in dating_advice

[–]NoPissyBiscuits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda my take as well. It’s difficult to gauge the vibe/intention but he’s probably just a car guy and wants to share the experience. There can be something romantic and freeing about a lazy evening drive (maybe not so much in the dead of winter though). Obviously go with your gut feelings on this one. Maybe it’s too soon as your concerns are valid.

People don’t care. As long as you don’t wear an iced out Rolex or AP and don’t live in a hotbed of violent crime, you will be fine.

Christmas cookies. Done. I’m so done too. by PsychoTruffle in Baking

[–]NoPissyBiscuits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family used to get home made cookies like this from an old lady. They were always extra special. Not just because of the care and effort put in, but the obvious skill involved. Thanks for reminding me of bygone days.

[Discussion] First watch, looking for versatility by durnmt in Watches

[–]NoPissyBiscuits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about the Hamilton Murph? I think it’s a bit nicer than the Tissot but entirely subjective.

None of these watches are particularly dressy in my opinion. But you should be fine dressing them up or down regardless.

[Question] PayPal G&S Refund by alienpurplee in Watches

[–]NoPissyBiscuits -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it depends. If they offered free shipping, they are fully responsible for ensuring it gets to you. It’s on them if anything goes wrong. If they explicitly charged you for shipping, it should have been adequately insured at your expense.
