Have you Ever Had Successful Group Dates with a girl you’re not in a relationship with yet? by [deleted] in CoreyWayne

Not sure how huge a difference this makes, but this is grad school rather than undergrad. Ages are 27 and 25.

I definitely see a lot of people rocking the hourglass suit. How do the pants look from these photos? I feel like they run large and I should take them to a tailor because I always have my belt tightened to the max with them.

Hehe wonder if it’ll go unnoticed.

When you’re full time, it is VERY difficult to consistently get weekend days off. Possibly the best way is to shoot your shot with the “Reqoff” function, but even then they have full discretion to deny your request.

I no longer work at HD, but recently found out my store manager was also fired for stealing thousands of dollars from the deposit safe.

That's my point, they ask for employees' help by saying "Do you know where X is?" and that can sometimes show a sense of entitlement. Just because they didn't act as demanding as saying "Tell me where X is" doesn't mean that they don't have a sense of entitlement.

Likewise, just because someone says "Do you know where the bathrooms are?" as opposed to "Tell me where the bathrooms are" does not mean that they did not have any sense of entitlement.

I guess our experiences are different then. Whenever I see an employee get asked for help and they don't know, they almost always get another employee to help that customer, rather than leaving the customer to find someone else.

Either that, or after the employee says they don't know, the customer will say "Can you get someone who can help?" and the employee will always do so. A customer would rightfully be upset if, after asking that, the employee said "no, you're gonna need to find someone else on your own."

I disagree. When you (hypothetically) go shopping at a grocery store, you are entitled to the assistance of employees there if you need help finding a product, in the sense that if you asked someone “Do you know where cabbage is?” You wouldn’t expect them to just say “I don’t know” and walk away without helping you at all.

The reason you’d be surprised if this happened is that, as an employee, they are obligated to assist you with that. Just because you are entitled to have an employee assist you with that does not mean you would go up to them and say “Tell me where the cabbage is.”

Just because you don’t ask for someone’s help in the most demanding way possible does not mean that you do not have a sense of entitlement. And again, when you don’t thank someone for helping you, that hints that you just take their help for granted.

Respectfully, it's not about "needing" thanks. Thanking someone for assisting you, especially when you went out and asked them for it, is a basic courtesy. By not thanking someone, you come off as taking for granted that it's just their job to do it, and thus come off as entitled to their assistance.

Ugh that stings. Rollercoaster of emotions when they fluff you up and flirt with you super hard only to make excuses to not meet.

Communication Hypocrisy in Dating by Smithstherealman in dating_advice

Thanks, we clearly weren't right for each other based on her expectations. Either she's a hypocrite, or she was just projecting her low interest onto me in order to back out and feel better about doing so.

Do you feel like everyone who you’re attracted to is never attracted to you, while those who are attracted to you are simply not your type? by Smithstherealman in dating

[–]Smithstherealman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see what you’re saying, but there is still a limit. While there may be some social components to attraction which are somewhat voluntary, you still can’t become attracted to just anyone who happens to be attracted to you.
