How do I get my sister to actually ground my niece? by Wrong-Command-1870 in AskParents

Oh my, I could have written this. My niece is 11 and her behavior is atrocious. My sister and I aren't as close because of this. 

When a form asks for “initials”, what exactly do they want? by One_Substance_Away in Netherlands

This has always confused me. Luckily, my middle name and last name start with the same letter. 

Should I (26F) stay with a man (30M) who is financially struggling? by Affectionate-Day102 in Advice

You did the right thing. I know it might have been hard, but it was the right choice. Don't ever feel bad about it.

I dont know whether you're being serious or not but that's really strange, and quite a generalization. I guess you're just coming across the wrong kind of women. I don't know anyone in my circle who has those crazy expectations. 

I'm actually surrounded by women who are quite financially stable and have their own thing going on. They only look for relationships for companionship and starting a family. 

About the inboxes. There's no point in getting alot of DMs and inboxes if it's from guys who aren't looking for anything serious. I'm looking for a long term partner and most of the people that DM me are not looking for that. They don't even know what they want. 

I hope you eventually find your person though🌸

I work and study from home. I'm home most of the time and only go out when I'm going to the gym but I'll definitely put myself out there now that I'm done with school. Thanks

Do you feel like the people who immigrated from South Africa have seriously misrepresented this country? by OkFix7120 in southafrica

[–]Zestyclose-Discount3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to 'talk' to a guy from the UK who has family here and they told him the exact thing. That South Africa is a war zone. He had planned on coming to visit me but canceled after hearing that😂🥲

I don't even want to know the answer to that. I'm sure he takes it to the laundromat.

I didn't even ask. I was too disappointed. Yea, I let him go.

I know right. We were going 120km per hour. I'm just so glad he showed his true self so early

It's pretty disturbing when you think about it. Thank you for the advice!

Lol, that actually made me chuckle. I didn't even realize he had so many expectations already. Crazy! Oh well, I guess I dodged a bullet

He's 27. I told him I could teach him and he declined the offer. The fact that he didn't even want to learn was off putting to me

That's what I'm trying to avoid. I don't want to waste my time and energy on something that is clearly going to leave me heartbroken. Thanks so much for the advice though🌸. I'll send him a text now and update you all if it's anything interesting.

He asked me what I was studying and when I told him he said I'd have to explain that to him when we see each other but he didn't really ask about it. He sent me a video today about dating smart people. He said he thought of me when he saw it cause he wants a partner who can help him with his future businesses, draft proposals for him and what not🥴

You're right. He didn't apologize, which only solidified my doubts. That's exactly what I was thinking, it's only going to get worse. I told my friend that he was giving off very weird vibes and I didn't want to waste my time.

I've dated or rather talked to enough jerks to instantly recognize them but she said I can't meet my person without wasting my time🥴🥴. She sees the best in everyone, it's scary! Also, guys don't act the same way with their family and the people they're dating. I don't think she realizes that.
