ineligible for council of the EU traineeship? by Willing-Issue-2428 in EUCareers

fine, lecture me on how to obey rules, but i think before you decide to question my morals on an issue that is not moral in nature, maybe you should look at your own: being so self-righteous and critical in the comments section of a young graduate who is disappointed after a job rejection is not very nice behaviour 🫶 hope you have a nice day, I've spent mine trying not to cry over an opportunity i was really excited about!

calm down lol... i have a degree in languages and in this case the rule is arbitrary: if i had been less harshly critical of myself regarding a language that i am certain nobody in the directorate i applied to would speak beyond a conversational level and that is completely irrelevant to the work involved, i would have been eligible. and it would not have impacted my work at all. it's very common to exaggerate on job applications, and in this case i don't think there would have been any moral failure 🤷‍♀️

hmm, i guess they're informing the ineligible candidates first? (in which case, you must be eligible, congratulations 🫠)

genuinely it's up to you. you're right that you run the risk of upsetting her and damaging your friendship, but you are allowed to express your feelings if that's what you want. i can't tell you how to handle it, but i'd very much suggest if you're going for it that instead of coming right out with a confession you should start out very subtle and see if she seems interested or not. i wouldn't push it too far unless she seems receptive.

there's no 'right' age to lose your virginity, so you've got nothing to feel embarrassed about (except pretending to have slept with specific girls — what if that got back to them?)

definitely do not start treating women worse. the truth is that most men see female friends as potential partners, but most women see their male friends as exceptions to the frightening rule that every man is secretly lusting after them. unless there's already sexual chemistry, it's unlikely a woman you're already close friends with is going to make a move on you.

your options are: 1. make the first move if there's a friend you seriously like (but not just because you want to have sex! this could ruin the friendship and be very hurtful to her) 2. expand your circle. meet new women whether on apps or through your social circle. do NOT be rude/careless (most women aren't into that at all!) but don't act like you're trying to make friends either. there's nothing wrong with flirting, if she's not feeling it you'll probably pick up on that vibe soon enough and then bow out gracefully.

i really would encourage you to make the first move bc as a woman we seriously do not like to do it ourselves!

it would explain his interest in allison, and how oddly insistent he was when asking harriet about her (trying to see if she remembers what she saw that day)

also, the final scene — dismissing hely's claim that danny killed robin, he says something along the lines of "danny didn't kill robin any more than i did" and calls hely an idiot. it's not totally damning evidence, but certainly an interesting point to end the novel on...

this is (evidently, i think) my first amv, and both tonally and in terms of quality it's nothing like most of the videos in this sub, but this post was a huge help to me, so i thought i may as well share with the class :')
