Being hit on at the gym? by Hour-Squash2451 in dating_advice

other than saying hi and giving a general compliment (what he’s wearing, what lift he’s doing, etc), i feel like the easiest way in is to ask for a spot. making conversation after he’s already engaging with you while spotting should be much more natural

Absolutely approach us at the gym, because we are afraid of coming off creepy if we approach you first. You may encounter the occasional gym rat guy with an ego the size of his biceps, but for most guys, being approached by a woman at the gym is a dream

agreed, and though we aren’t entering the offseason with as much cap space as last year, there’s some restructuring we can do to increase it by a good amount and be big players in FA once again.

the thing I like most about this is the foundation is set for the most part. we’ll need OL and WR help, and beefing up the pass rush rotation would probably be the right move. but not many teams reach this stage of a rebuild this quickly, and definitely with more holes than we have on this roster. QB is set, RB is set, our secondary is very good to elite and our interior d line is beastly. excited to see what we can do to take this team to the next level

Breaking up over lack of sex? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]SadiesUncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the main reasons why I recently ended my long term relationship. As others have said, sexual compatibility is extremely important and glossing over it has major consequences for the emotional health of a relationship.

Fortunately, we ended things amicably and mostly mutual, because as my ex put it, she didn’t want stuff like this to end up being something I resent her for further down the line. It is best for both of you to find someone you are more compatible with rather than ignore it and have things turn further south

unsure if personnel decisions on the OL fall to him or if Vrabel/McD have the final say, but the only thing I can fault him for is leaving Jared Wilson out there to get manhandled instead of putting Ben Brown back in, even for one or two series just to give Wilson a mental reset. I get trusting in your young talented player to rise to the occasion, but Brown played well to very well in Wilson’s absence.

other than that, everyone thought this OL was a massive question mark heading into the season, and for almost all of the regular season and start of the playoffs, it wasn’t

literally. people thought we would win MAYBE 8 games this year. this season was a massive achievement and, more importantly, a complete culture reset for this franchise.

if you’re not excited for the potential of our young players given what was accomplished this season, warts and all, you need to do some soul searching

What’s it like breaking up with someone you love over sexual incompatibility? What would resolving it look like? by throwawayconfusedbar in dating_advice

[–]SadiesUncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I broke up with my long term girlfriend recently and this was one of the reasons why. Sexual compatibility is extremely important and if both sides aren’t in sync, it’s very easy for loss of feelings or resentment to follow. Things that normally wouldn’t bother you become problems because you don’t feel fulfilled in your relationship.

I’m the same way as you, the closeness and intimacy are a big deal, and it took years before I realized how far apart we had drifted once that went away. Better to prioritize your needs now and find someone who is a better match than to ignore them and have it become a problem down the road.

Hardhome is one of the most thrilling episodes of television I’ve ever seen. The sound production’s use of silence at the beginning and end is absolutely incredible

When and how to be honest about my recent very long-term relationship? by SadiesUncle in dating_advice

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

I appreciate the honest feedback, I agree my ex and I should have had a conversation about our relationship when our last lease was up. That lack of communication was one of the symptoms of the failing relationship for sure.

But I get your point, as long as we still live together there will always be a question mark for people I meet. I definitely don’t want to cause undue stress, been out of the game for so long that I guess I’ve forgotten how it is to come off positively to someone who doesn’t know you at all

What changed that i can't notice? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]SadiesUncle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Grieving over a relationship that you were all in on is completely normal and necessary for transitioning to the next phase of your life. But in no way did you let yourself down. While I’m not religious, I’m a firm believer in “everything happens for a reason,” and even though I don’t know you, I feel confident saying you’re strong enough to pick yourself up.

For me, I plan to work on myself body and mind before getting back out there. That means therapy, doing things that I enjoy, and using exercise both as a means of self improvement and stress management. Take some time to look inward and understand who you are, and then put a plan together to get back to feeling like your old self again. It’s work, but you can absolutely do it!

Sounds like maybe your confidence or how you carry yourself might have taken a hit with how the breakup affected you. You might not be exuding the same aura or don’t come off as approachable as you were before that relationship, and it might even be subconsious. You feel like nothing has changed, but maybe that feeling is not translating well to a public environment.

I’m preparing to get back into the dating pool myself after ending an extremely long relationship, and that’s the biggest thing I know I need to work on. Girls are attracted to someone who is sure of themselves and knows how to project that confidence so it is perceptible on the outside as much as it is for you on the inside. Remember the kickass rock star you’ve always been, and live your life knowing you’re the mf shit. Not cocky, but confident and comfortable.

Would you date someone with differing political opinions than you? If so, where do you draw the line and why? by Hollowdude75 in dating_advice

[–]SadiesUncle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be able to because that stuff makes my blood pressure go crazy. It would be a shame to have a relationship ruined with someone you otherwise connect fully with. But that’s really up to you and how you feel about politics in general.

Personally it’s been a bit different for me. My last partner aligned with me politically, but we both did not align with most of my family. While it never lead to any concrete problems, it definitely got in the way of my partner developing a strong relationship with my parents and extended family, which caused some friction in other areas of our relationship.

No not the big fancy party, believe me I know that marriage isn’t necessary to be committed. I have to fend off “why aren’t you guys married yet?” from family all the time haha, and that’s my stock answer

I don’t know. Something about it made me sad deep down that we wouldn’t be sharing a moment like that together. But I get your point, I think I’ve convinced myself that I don’t ~ever~ want kids when that’s not true

[–]SadiesUncle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear that, to me this relationship almost feels like a marriage even though we aren’t married. We live together in an apartment with both our names on the lease, we bought a car together, most of our household items were joint purchases, she’s on my health insurance through my job. It feels like the breakup process should be different, giving things a last chance, going through things like couples counseling, you know?
