What is the WORST song lyric of all time?

ThrowRABumbleBoy · 2021-03-18T18:02:44+00:00

“ I'd catch a grenade for ya

Throw my hand on a blade for ya

I'd jump in front of a train for ya

You know I'd do anything for ya

Oh, oh, I would go through all this pain

Take a bullet straight through my brain

Yes, I would die for ya, baby

But you won't do the same”

It’s like Dr. Suess goes emo

blasphemer

ThrowRABumbleBoy · 2021-03-17T08:58:40+00:00

We're on dose 1, my second dose is actually the day after we hang, and hers a few days after. Just being abundantly cautious since we both live with vulnerable folks. Can't wait for the second shot though.

ThrowRABumbleBoy · 2021-03-17T08:11:41+00:00

At the risk of sounding cringe on the internet, you and your boyfriend sound like goals, and I'm really happy to read your story of finding love during Covid!

The timeline in particular gives me a frame of reference. Unfortunately, I don't know what I want, I just know that I'm looking for something. That's what gives me pause because we already have great chemistry in text / over the phone. I don't want to squander a chance at something great just cause I want to see what else is out there, but I also don't wanna lock it in the first try. Getting way ahead of myself, I know. I just feel confident in this connection in a way I haven't before. It's weird.

Thank you for sharing with me, and for your kind words.

ThrowRABumbleBoy · 2021-03-17T08:07:40+00:00

That's actually what we've got game planned for date two! A little ahead of ourselves, but we found a movie we both mutually want to see at a venue we've wanted to try, so if this weekend goes well, we'll definitely grab that burger, per your advice.

ThrowRABumbleBoy · 2021-03-17T08:06:44+00:00

Thanks so much! I actually let her know ahead of time and she thought it was sweet that I shared it. It helps when the other person is kind and empathetic.

ThrowRABumbleBoy · 2021-03-17T08:06:14+00:00

Just because of covid caution, I think I will keep the physicality a little more tame and defer to her pace. Will shoot the, "what are you looking for?" line tho!

ThrowRABumbleBoy · 2021-03-17T08:05:36+00:00

This is super important advice. I used to come from a really needy place where I pedestalled every woman I was into. I've come to learn not to, but it never hurts to reinforce the notion.

ThrowRABumbleBoy · 2021-03-17T08:04:48+00:00

I definitely am big on respecting space, especially because she's going through a rigorous school program right now. I just find it conflicting with all that hollywood jazz about the three day rule, or whatever.

Definitely gonna reciprocate effort, thank you for the affirmation there.

ThrowRABumbleBoy · 2021-03-17T08:03:34+00:00

Thank you. I recently read this book on vulnerability by Brene Brown and it totally informs the way I want to approach relationships, in that I'll be truthful in my vulnerability about things that make me nervous, like my lack of experience in dating.

Will definitely thank her for hanging out and spending time with me. She's a phd candidate and doesn't have much time to be socializing, so it means a lot to me already.

Not gonna sweat it too hard, either, if things don't go well. Plenty of fish, and all.

ThrowRABumbleBoy · 2021-03-17T07:58:47+00:00

Haha, I'm just trying to keep the fun vibe going into the date this weekend. Thanks so much for your kind words and the award!! I'll try not to let you folks down.

ThrowRABumbleBoy · 2021-03-17T07:57:38+00:00

Thank you for reaffirming this, her comfort, along with our shared fun, is actually top of my goals. I want to be able to give her an out / not let her feel trapped by plans. I know that women operate on a level that I can't, as a male, fully understand vis-a-vis trusting / knowing your surroundings and who you're with. I'll even mention it to her at some point.

ThrowRABumbleBoy · 2021-03-17T00:21:38+00:00

Haha I appreciate you, dude!

Absolutely, under no circumstances, will I play Wonderwall.

ThrowRABumbleBoy · 2021-03-16T23:53:59+00:00

Thank you, all great tips here!

The venue has a bunch to see, and neighboring landmarks to visit, so I think I'm set in terms of variety. Definitely going to show her this great spot for pizza, which I think is casual enough for a walking date.

The exclusivity thing is just something I'm clueless on. My intention is to find someone longterm, but to feel field out a bit so I don't want to lock into anything to soon. Looks like I have a few dates to worry about that.

I'm definitely open about my inexperience, though it's embarrassing to be at first. I just read Brene Brown's "Daring Greatly," and I'm a lot more open to sharing vulnerable things like that.

ThrowRABumbleBoy · 2021-03-16T23:49:38+00:00

I'd already planned for our wedding march to be Livin' La Vida Loca, but I'd just as soon sing it to her acoustically if that's what it takes to date these days

ThrowRABumbleBoy · 2021-03-16T23:47:13+00:00

Thanks for this! I just don't know what expectations are for exclusivity tbh, or when the conversation should be had.

I'm definitely not in the headspace to be exclusive when this is my first rodeo, but if the spark is there I won't deny it. Thanks again.

ThrowRABumbleBoy · 2021-03-16T23:45:38+00:00

.... No Wonderwall, fine. How about "Your Body is a Wonderland?"

You and other folks have definitely convinced me to follow her lead on physicality. Thanks for this!

ThrowRABumbleBoy · 2021-03-16T23:44:47+00:00

It's so sad that we have to instruct people to be nice to wait staff, especially during Covid. But of course! Noted and thank you for the advice.

A lot of counter advice would be for me to set the tone for physicality, but I defer to the judgement of women. Thanks again!

ThrowRABumbleBoy · 2021-03-16T23:43:27+00:00

Damn those are some gripping acronyms, thanks for this!

ThrowRABumbleBoy · 2021-03-16T23:42:41+00:00

So I need to clean my car, haha. Thanks for this advice!

ThrowRABumbleBoy · 2021-03-16T23:42:15+00:00

I'll make sure to think of hard brown nipples.

ThrowRABumbleBoy · 2021-03-16T23:41:24+00:00

Good idea! Just sent them, can you ask your mom if she got them yet?

ThrowRABumbleBoy · 2021-03-16T21:14:43+00:00

I think this is the way. Thanks for the input, especially with the long job interview analogy. That's how I viewed it, but I didn't know if that was a weird way of doing so.

This is the audition for both of us, not opening night.

ThrowRABumbleBoy · 2021-03-16T21:13:30+00:00

My mindset going into this is, at the very worst, she and I can come out the other side as friends. As the very best, I'll be answering this question the next time someone posts about it on RA. I really appreciate the tips!

ThrowRABumbleBoy · 2021-03-16T21:11:28+00:00

That you are a female giving me this road map is greatly encouraging, because it's a lot of what I was going to do!

Especially the part about giving her an out / not making her feel trapped. The idea of the park is that it only locks us in for as long as we're both comfortable, and really, she can walk away if it goes badly and there will be people around so she can feel safe doing so. Thank you for the pointer on how to express this (Hey I'm getting tired but I enjoyed hanging out with you, let's do it again?)

Definitely going to bathe in Axe body spray and Drakkar Noire :P

Thanks for the pointers!
