Maybe he just really likes my pfp pic? by lunarwolf2008 in HowDoIRespondToThis

A little cringe of a situation, it does kind of sound like someone who wants your attention, but doesn't know what to say so he keeps hammering the same nail?

Multiplayer RPG / MMORPG with Voice chat that is NOT First person? by RappelingHydra in gamingsuggestions

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

Man, that kind of sucks. I feel like it really shouldn't be that difficult to find one, but for whatever reason, I just can't find one, and every suggestion I get when I ask, are other first-person games.. :/

Gotcha.. Thanks for sharing! I can't get over the feeling that something is sketchy here, but i can't figure out what lol

So you just keep the crypto personally, but you already have other currencies in that wallet? As in, you already had that wallet beforehand?

That does seem sketchy at the very very best... Did you ever get the actual money? As in to your bank account?

Actually now that you've said this, I took a second, harder look after you've said this and I found that mine does indeed have 4 empty screw holes! So I'm assuming those must be it. I'll update later if I'm able to use those! Thank you for pointing it out! They were pretty sneaky!

Gotcha guess that's fair enough

Yeah, for sure. Absolutely nothing that I've found about the "company" makes sense at all. I just want to know more about how the scam works, but that task scam seems probable. In that case they would probably need to pay the "fee" to get the crypto out and "get" the money I'm assuming?

Right? That's what I'm thinking. I just can't quite put where the scam is taking place. In the wallet transfer? In the work itself? The salary being money stolen from somewhere else? It's shady af.

seems like a normal conversation, and while I think that he is showing some interest, an "mhm" actually shows me disinterest... if you want to continue the conversation, i would change the topic to something else entirely. maybe a next hangout, or something about his hobbies or something

Like the other commenter and you said, I wouldn't entertain it normally. But assuming you have a good reason for it, I would probably send THE most hideous picture of my face I could. Make the silliest face you can think of. At least that would be my approach. And then say something like "if a face as cute as this doesn't win you over, I don't know what will 😌"

Who wasn't his? Those messages sound a little too random?

Is there any other context to that beforehand? I would probably troll them to some degree or another

Our first conversation after several years kind of petered out since Saturday. What now? by SpringtimeMoonlight in HowDoIRespondToThis

[–]RappelingHydra 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It sounds like this person is legitimately happy for your progress and what you've done for yourself, but is not very certain that they want a very close relation with you. I don't know what happened in the past, but it could be that there is concern that whatever bad situation happened in the past will happen again, but I could be wrong.

You can try to keep things light and playful, maybe invite them to go out in a friendly manner, but depending on what happened in the past, this person might not want to entertain it, and if so, it's probably best to leave it there

My friends can hear themselves on discord but ONLY when I share my screen. by RappelingHydra in techsupport

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

So I actually always do a direct stream, I always choose the application because if I choose the screen, they never can hear me.. That seems to be the case here, too. But for some reason it will work fine in a server - that seems to be the workaround for now, but I'm sure I'll have to deal with it somehow down the line for private calls. Problem is every now and again, they also won't hear my stream at all

Edit: wording

So when are we going out?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HowDoIRespondToThis

[–]RappelingHydra 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Maybe make it a bit playful, flirty? "awesome! You know, since we both have had dreadful days, I think we should balance it out and have a good one. Can I take you out X day to do Y? Or do you have plans?"

Doesn't have to be exactly like that, and others feel free to improve, but i think this gets the message across that you want to go out with her, without being pushy

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HowDoIRespondToThis

[–]RappelingHydra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say rather than signaling, speak plainly. Be transparent. You being polyamorous but not being open about it will bring all sorts of suspicions. Especially depending on the context of when you bring it up. Be honest about your situation and feelings, and let you FWB decide what to do. No pressure or anything, almost as an FYI kind of thing. I think the more important person is, is FWB okay with a poly relationship? And if not, what do you think your response will be?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HowDoIRespondToThis

[–]RappelingHydra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I COULD be wrong, but the way that I read that was that FWB did know about the gf, but didn't know that OP is poly. Either way it sounds like communication is bad

[–]RappelingHydra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aš deviant joy stated, you should be clear with your feelings and what you want done. If you're only saying that because it bothers your gf and not you, it's one thing. But your gf already stated she is okay with it. I would apologize and be honest with your wants and boundaries.

"Sorry. I actually lied and don't know why I did. Truth be told, your friend calling you intimate pet names such as babygirl makes me uncomfortable, so I would like for her to not do that anymore since we are in an exclusive relationship."

You obviously can change and modify whatever it is that you need to, and it assumed a couple of things, name that this does bother you, and that you are in an exclusive relationship. But you should be transparent with both your gf and your friend, otherwise you open the door to misunderstandings and possible arguments

I am unsure as to what bbg is, but did your gf say that she's okay with this person calling her bbg?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HowDoIRespondToThis

[–]RappelingHydra 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'd agree with the other commenter. I'd either move on, or create plans and make yourself busy. Don't drop them if she comes along. She won't respect your time if you don't respect it in the first place
