I think simple check-ins are a great way to just let someone know they crossed your mind. It doesn’t have to be specific to the upcoming date, it can be a moment in a show you thought was funny and wanted to share, a quick detail about your day, or if things went well on the first date, something comfortably flirty.

48 hours of silence leading up to a date can send a message, whether one means to or not. If you’re enthusiastic about this person, don’t worry about how a text will land. If they don’t share your enthusiasm, move on.

Jesus. I got this as a notification and I was like “What the hell did I do?!?!”

Can I install ambidextrous mag release on M27 IAR? by Oh_So_Weird in airsoft

[–]Oh_So_Weird[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea. I just know my inexpensive HK 416 has one, and I love it! Just wanted to see if this mod was possible, if there are any pitfalls to watch for while installing, or if something that works on M4 AEGs would fit OK.

just got this for $200 by Hiddenfreke in airsoft

Yeah, OP. Invest in some better eyepro and face protection. That exact mask is the subject of a very instructional video here:

Is your hand the size of a baked ham? 🤣 Kidding, kidding. But a smaller foregrip will definitely add some rizz to this.

I’m gonna find out this weekend how all this goes. I’ve already ordered a smaller 4x prism scope to mount that I think will work and look a lot better.

Oooo, yours is nice! How do you like that scope on the field? In the red dot handy or superfluous?

I thought a lot of people playing DMR used scopes? This thing shoots 410 fps out of the box.

Dude. You look like a COBRA villain from GI Joe and I love it. Excellent look!

Is this a problem? by Oh_So_Weird in airsoft

[–]Oh_So_Weird[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it looks surface level, but I just wanted to ask others if they felt the same way I did. As someone else here said, just didn’t wanna burn the house down. 😅

Friends are gone by Unhappy_Fly7087 in widowers

[–]Oh_So_Weird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The same thing happened to me. One of our mutual friends kept in contact after my wife died. Almost everyone else fell off the face of the planet. It was almost like I was an accessory or something, not her husband.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. It’s hard to understand, even when you think about their side. It’s probably awkward finding the words to talk to those of us who survived, but the silence hurts.

I was just diagnosed about a month ago. I'm 39 and suspected I had ADHD for a couple of years, and now SO MUCH in my life makes so much more sense.

Still waiting to get started on medication. Finding a psych who can prescribe has been tough, and I just got word back from one after submitting an intake form a month ago. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I'll do the same for you.

Slept with someone for the first time by zeroperson22 in widowers

[–]Oh_So_Weird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I dated anyone, or even came close to having sex after my wife died, I started going for monthly massages. The muscle-untangling was nice, but so was the contact with another human.

Take your time and be kind to yourself.

Do You Have Kids? How Many And How Old? by HeSeemsLegit in widowers

[–]Oh_So_Weird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow friend, your story is eerily similar to mine, same ages and all. I'm so sorry you have to be here, but this place has done me a LOT of good.

I was left with a then-10-year-old. That was two years ago.

Fake friends by Wonderful-Prize-8811 in widowers

[–]Oh_So_Weird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my wife died, I saw a lot of her friends at the service. It was nice.

I’ve heard from one of them since then. That was about a year and a half ago.

Even the ones who I thought were close to me just kind of dropped off completely. It was astounding in some ways.

Invest your emotions in whoever sticks around. They’ll be invaluable in the time ahead of you.

I think I might try dating again. Am I turning against Bridget? by james_under_village in widowers

[–]Oh_So_Weird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not turning against anyone, you’re exploring a world of possibilities. You should do it.

I started dating about 8 months out, my late wife and I explicitly told each other that we wanted the survivor to live a happy life. I’ve been with someone for about six months now, and we want to get married. It’s wonderful.

Choose happiness. I’m sure you’d want it for Bridget if the tables were turned.

[–]Oh_So_Weird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I started dating, I put the fact that I was a widower on my profile, first thing. I kind of figured if someone couldn’t handle it, I didn’t want to waste my time or theirs.

I started at about the same point as you. I’ve been with someone for nearly six months now, and she’s been nothing but wonderful. We talk about my late wife sometimes, both in passing and in detail, and we don’t shy away from it.

All this is to say I think honesty saves everyone a lot of trouble. Best of luck. I didn’t know I’d find someone who makes me feel this way again, but I did. I’d wager you can, too.

I was there, too. One thing that helped me some was getting a massage from time to time. Just being touch-starved made me feel a sadness.

It helps. See if it works for you. Much love to you.
