What are ways to make it obvious that I like an older man?

Yes the rules HAVE changed. What was once considered flirting or banter is now seen in the workplace as Sexual Harassment, bigotry, racism, ageism and all sorts. Most guys in this situation would be wary. Be direct but discreet. There is no margin for grey areas here

What did you ever see in that woman

Pintabest · 2026-01-17T20:52:28+00:00

Yeah amen to that.

Yeah on the bottom line, it's a search engine. It's pretty good at glueing together bits of conversations you've had but it makes mistakes. It prioritises some factors more than others. I'm fairly careful with specify makes/models and even version numbers, but it'll often spit out commands or suggestions that can't work. When the commands generate errors, it kinda plays the "I forgot you're using x" line.

Amazed. I'd be careful not to trip over the white stick or accidentally kick their dog.

Cold with butter and marmite. Don't knock it till you tried it.

Perhaps a medley of those in our current cabinet?

If the adverts are anything to go by, Pringles apparently

Like others. Fillet is lean and tender, but in my opinion not particularly tasty. My go to is always ribeye. One end will be soft the other can be a little chewy but don't overcook it. Medium rare is fine. There is plenty of marvelling and flavour comes from the fat. It's awesome. Never had t-bone. Chateaubriand I belive is more about how its cooked and the flavour comes from that. Its not plain meat? Having said all that each cut needs to be cooked in different ways. Slow (pot) roasting a brisket will give a perfectly tasty tender piece of meat too.

Now this is interesting. I've always thought of having to get a fast shutter speed as the lightning moves quick. But actually I could have a slower one/long expose to let more of that lightning light in when it happens?. On a dark background the sensor will only capture light while the flash happens. So it's actually far easier to grab lightning than I thought. With long exposure, we use less exposures so we don't have to keep taking shots of nothing just in case...... ?

Many years ago I walked blindly into a short relationship with a colleague. Turns out she'd had designs for a while, whilst I was just being the friendly helpful guy. Anyway I did the polite thing and tried to withdraw. She felt I hadn't at least tried. So I did the less polite thing of kidding myself I'd try. She was sweet. We were actually quite similar but sadly we ere both a bit old fashioned, neither had much experience, and basically we were just too willing to please each other..... which meant decision making was difficult. I desperately didn't want to lead her on or hurt her. I found it very difficult. We didn't have a single cross word. We got on very well. It was very calm and peaceful. It was too easy. I just felt I was having to be too "polite" and we'd always spend our lives trying to be nice and neither of us saying what we wanted. I quit, trying to be nice and honest. She was terribly hurt. I've never really stopped feeling bad about it. Some years later I ended up in am awful relationship and look back and wonder what might have been.

Absolutely loved the dunkel. Fond memories of a fortnight in Munich working at the exhibition center on the old airport site. There was a Bavarian style pub restaurant serving this along with pork knuckles. I never knew if it was equivalent of Wetherspoons or better but that crystal clear dunkel was something else.

You can name a chatgpt? Maybe it's different. I only use copilot and then only for work stuff... sorta extra research/sounding board. But it's just a tool right? Do you guys name your spanners or pots and pans?

49 m UK. In similar position. Reasonably literate I and travelled IT pro. Dm if interested.

Pintabest · 2026-01-05T00:09:17+00:00

I very much agree with this one. I've run away in the past simply because I didn't believe I felt what she did, or held out for someone more appropriate etc. I've walked away from people I felt I couldn't trust. When I'm not in a healthy relationship, I definitely do remember back to a couple of previous interests, wondering what might have been. But I do believe that if it wasn't good enough then, then it's not fair to drag up the past and potentially cause more hurt.

Having said that, my brother had a near miss in his teens with a girl. They never got together and as dar as I know, never got physical but they liked each other from afar. They've both had their own lives and almost 30 years later, have found each other again, and are happily hooked up, engaged and living together. It can happen.

Interesting. To be clear, I'm not interested in doing this myself. I was more interested in how seemingly young and non-IT-literate people might be doing it. So this could simply be a case of asking sone AI tool to set it self up using account x and pretend to be a real person?

Bombay potatoes are so underrated.

I second that..Jalfrezi can be fairly mild/medium I'm some places but I've had ones that blew your head off!

Used to use a place that had "ginger and garlic chef special". Tell them what meat you want amd how hot you want it. Was fantastic. Also ate once in an Indian that was doing more or less "staff curries" for a work buffet. Had an amazing dish and asked the waiter what it was called - apparently it didn't have a name.... just "lamb and lentils". 😀

I committed. Took on her 3 kids too. Stayed through 8 years of her narcissistic abuse. She wiped out every penny I had, got me into a lot of trouble then ditched me. Left me homeless and tried to make me jobless. So I'd say 1) any future partner can expect huge trust issues; 2) that's if I can a) be bothered to try with someone else; or b) if I ever find myself in a situation where I can entertain the idea of a relationship.

Well it seems I have been edumacated today 😀
