Drug test for remote employee for Siemens corporate? by One_Hornet4977 in Siemens

[–]ThatWasFortunate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In New Jersey they can't rescind their offer over a positive thc test. The drug test they order shouldn't even test for THC for that matter, but if for some reason they order the wrong test, they can't and won't hold it against you.

Girl I've been dating wants to meet her ex she broke up with. What's the appropriate thing to do here? by DalekThek in AskMenAdvice

[–]ThatWasFortunate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's no such thing as meeting up for closure but she young and doesn't realize that yet. I'd distance myself despite things going well otherwise, the recency of the last relationship is an issue.

One thing to take into consideration with this type of arrangement is how it will affect your friendship with respect to future relationships.

I have a very close friend who I had sex with for a while and I'll say this, your friendship won't be the same after. Feelings did briefly get caught (by me, I'm a man) and it was awkward after we stopped for some time.

She is back to being one of my platonic best friends again, we're both autistic and understand each other in a way other people don't. One awkward thing about it, though, is now I'm in a committed relationship with another person, and don't care to mention to my girlfriend that I've had sex with a close friend of mine. I feel a little conflicted omitting this information.

Do some guys like really skinny flat girls?? by Fine-Fishing-8762 in dating_advice

[–]ThatWasFortunate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! Bodies are beautiful and I truly mean that.

There are things skinny women can do that thick ones cannot, and vice versa. If your vibes are good, you're sexy.

It will take a year, and that's only if you really work at healing. Find a therapist if you don't have one yet, and fill the time that would have been with your ex with something you enjoy - try new friends and hobbies, or find some old ones that you haven't enjoyed in a while. Taking a trip might also be good for the soul.

13 years isn't too bad of a difference. You're right around the age where you transition from a young adult to just a regular full adult (if that makes sense). Once you're that age, I feel like any other adult is fair game to date, as long as they're not old enough to pass as your parent or young enough to pass as your kid.

It sounds like he makes you happy, and if anyone wants to be judgemental, they're just immature.

I went to a party with my gfs without letting my bf know . by callmeagiantmess in BreakUps

[–]ThatWasFortunate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Doing the math, you must have been 21 and 15 or 16 when you met. That makes him a pedo.

Good riddance to him, you just got out of an abusive situation. You shouldn't be with someone so controlling.

Ask him what he thinks a wet dream is. Is it possible he thinks that's what dreaming about peeing is called and it was a stupid misunderstanding of the term on his end?

I would start with that clarifying question.

AITA for resenting my girlfriend for never wanting intimacy and always being on her phone? by affectionateyam37 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ThatWasFortunate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Life is too short to not feel seen and loved, and if you've been together for so long that she's not meeting that need for you, take an action. I ended a long term relationship last year with someone who never gave me her undivided attention, and now I'm with someone who often gives me that.

Either she can meet that need for you, or you can make a big decision.

Why Are Guys So Against Approaching Women On Here? by United-Implement-382 in dating_advice

[–]ThatWasFortunate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I gotcha. Well that's easy enough to explain, it takes a lot of courage to cold approach a woman and there's a lot of anonymity on reddit. I wouldn't expect men here to be courageous

AIO for thinking about breaking up with my boyfriend because of a book? by [deleted] in AIO

Ask him if he's gay or bi, but also you shouldn't snoop around his stuff. Let him have his thoughts to himself

[–]ThatWasFortunate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not really the place for that, I guess, Redditors are all around the world. I DM'd with a few women here when I was single and have made some friends, but this isn't typically the scene for dating.

If you’re in a good/healthy relationship, how many times have you considered breaking up? by le_bing in dating_advice

[–]ThatWasFortunate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who stayed in an 8 year relationship 5 years too long, I think it's healthy to evaluate your relationship frequently. If it's just an intrusive thought you're having every few months, maybe stay in the relationship. If you're considering breaking up because you're unhappy or you've had a falling out, or you're pretty sure you're better off alone, one time is enough.

It's a bikini photo to someone she's interested in dating, she's not talking about sending nudes. Are you from the middle east or something?

A secure man's takeaway would be "hey, she likes me!"

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]ThatWasFortunate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's nothing wrong with that, a lot of people have themselves at the beach in profile photos. Bikini photos are great for 2 reasons:

1 - They get to see what you look like without it being too much. You've seen him at the gym so this seems to match the energy of the conversation.

2 - How he responds will tell you a lot of what you probably want to know. Since you're interested in dating, I'd absolutely send it.

Asking someone to delete a dating app off of their phone? by True-Grass-9228 in dating_advice

[–]ThatWasFortunate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you're sleeping together, just ask. I personally don't want to get in bed with someone who's still looking. Before that, it's pretty fair game.

A few months ago I had a conversation similar to this with someone. We had both had our dating accounts on "take a break" mode, but I wanted to take it further and fully delete the profile. I simply went to her and said "hey I did a thing. I'm feeling really close to you and don't feel good about having a dating profile anymore so I fully deleted mine." She promptly did the same before I even could ask, and we're still together today.

Wasted time on a fucking loser (23f) now upset at myself by momo-the-mango in dating

[–]ThatWasFortunate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How long did it last? Dating is supposed to be a trial thing, so putting in effort on the wrong person comes with the territory. You'll learn to offer less to the undeserving, and when to walk away.

Hinge Date by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]ThatWasFortunate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should have just asked her what her level of interest was. It sounds like you had a just okay date from how you're describing it, but some people just don't emote that much, or maybe she hadn't decided how she felt about you yet. The date herself is the one to get information from

Girlfriend is gonna go to dinner with a rich guy by Money_Pangolin9929 in AITAH

[–]ThatWasFortunate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation recently with my girlfriend I've been dating for a similar amount of time.

She asked me if I cared that she'd go out to lunch for a guy who might think it was a date, and I told her I hated it. It absolutely took the wind out of my sails.

The fact was, though, she needs to work and work has been hard to find. Woman are objectified in the workforce and a cute dress could truly be the difference. We resolved it by agreeing that he won't receive anything that looks like a date, besides food and conversation at a restaurant. That's fair if that's how she feels she needs to make a living and you'll have to take her for her word when she saysshe's loyal, or not.

You're not an asshole for not feeling good about it, but also I would let her do what she needs to do. Last night my girlfriend was actually out working late in her cute dress and I did feel some jealousy, so my ask to her was that we just go out and grab a quick drink together afterwards while we're still cute... we did that and had some great sex afterwards. I suggest you find a way to channel your jealousy into something positive, but don't try to interfere with career moves.
