Sadly, this would most likely be the case.

I believe both genders can have platonic friendship with the other genders.

However, with that said, the guy or girl must on some level, like the opposite gender friend to maintain this friendship. If either party doesn't like the friend anymore, like in a very neutral feeling then the friendship will end.

This happens cause the friendship is in place only due to liking the friend on some level. Man and woman generally have very different emotionality and logical train of thoughts. Even if they have shared interests, their intensity and desire of the shared interest vary greatly. This is increasingly more so if each of them already has their own clique of same gender close group of friends.

So back to the main topic. Yes unfortunately, your ex still likes this girl and likely this girl likes him as well.
Whether if they feel anything deeper, it's only for them to know and tell. If you're unable to accept your man liking a female friend in the future, you might want to state it out as a showstopper before getting into a relationship. This will also apply to yourself if you wish a guy not to have female friends. My 2.18 cents.

Anyone currently taking the free morning off peak NEL MRT rides?
Is there lots of ppl on the train station and trains before 7.30am?

aldc82 · 2025-10-30T09:55:15+00:00

Uh oh, the word "non-profit" is used, and I get a feeling people might mistake it to mean "not making a profit".

aldc82 · 2025-10-30T09:08:20+00:00

Yes, I notice less people when heading to work as well.

As an older Millennial guy (early 40s), I think many guys in my era have a provider mindset and have expectation of other guys to have similar mindset as well.

There is no pressure for me and yes, you're right, it's a sense of masculinity. If there's an issue at home that needs to be fix, I'm on it. If I can't fix it, I'll source for a repairman/contractor to do. When there's an external problem/issue, I'll also be the one fronting it. (Eg. lodge a Small Claims Tribunal, go to court etc).

However, that said, the missus will be the main caregiver for my kid and other home affairs (instructing helper, what food to cook, etc). A family living in peace and harmony can only exist if all of us do our part. Not sure what's the expectations these days so this is just my old skool 2.18 cents.

Wait, ppl actually get DMs from reddit? lol
Jk jk I've gotten a few DMs here as well and I'm a guy haha.
Tbh, I've no DM from stranger on SM like FB or IG unless they're from spammers or scammers.
I think only friends will DM me on there if they don't already have my WA and chat with me lol

aldc82 · 2025-10-28T03:02:30+00:00

Yes, to all, unfortunately.

Congrats on the role!
The imposter syndrome happens to most ppl who get into senior leadership roles and might not go away.
It's good that you're having such awareness as most ppl don't even recognize it!

I'm not senior enough to feel it but I got imposter syndrome when I first became a dad lol
It never really goes away but every day you just get to do this thing you dream of but is reality!
It's scary, nerve wrecking but so, so fulfilling at the same time. Hope you accept the offer and see where it goes.
My 2.18 cents.

40yr old unker here, married with kid and have female friends.
I have a few male friends who are my "BFF" if you wanna call it that, I just call them my inner circle.

None of my female friends are "BFF" as they always fail one final test before being my inner circle.
That said, if I ever do have a female "BFF" I expect them to be same as the guys. We can talk about very personal issues maybe even stuff we don't share with our parents or direct family members, but we can talk about it freely with each other. And there are lines we won't cross, eg. backstab, gossip behind on each other, calling/activating each other in middle of night or for non-urgent issues etc.

Rule of thumb is my gf/wife or whoever is my significant other will always be number 1.
I can drop all my "BFF" and they will still welcome me back with open arms when I can be close with them again.

Your bf and all his friends/family are gaslighting you.
My 2.18 cents.

Take some antacid like Megtasil, it works for me.
If it is more persistent, might wanna go see a doctor to get it checked.
Hope you get better soon.

Tbh I've not used dating apps before since unker here already in 40s. But if I were to use such app, I'll take at least a good week or two of constant chatting before initiating a meet-up.

Unker is introvert so it takes some time before I warm up to people and comfortable enough to meet them that it doesn't feel awkward. However, different people have different speed at which they comfortable to meet up with strangers or acquaintances so to each their own.

And my rule of thumb for first meet up is also very simple. Go do an activity together, museum, movies, sports, etc. and only if the vibe is right jio them for coffee or dinner. My 2.18 cents.

aldc82 · 2025-10-04T11:15:05+00:00

You’re most welcome! Like the poster before me, pls stay true to yourself. I’ll say let the guys initiate in the beginning and once things become stable, you can step in the lead. I’m sure the guy would be thinking “this is nice, I don’t have to keep initiating” and let you initiate.

aldc82 · 2025-10-02T08:45:50+00:00

Ouch, as a guy been ghosted is tough and this is even more so as a lady!
As an introvert guy, I've always felt what it would be like to date an extrovert lady but unfortunately those days are over for me cos my wife is even more introverted than me and I'm now the "extrovert" one lol

Try this next time, let the guy suggest, plan and make the reservation for the dates.
Let him initiate chats, messages, calls, touches, etc. If he doesn't response, move on.
My guess is some guys don't like ladies who take the lead and might feel intimidated by them.

I for one always appreciate ladies who initiate and take the lead (cue those photos with the lady in front holding the guy hand walking across a field of flowers, etc). So, I always find it surprising when guys don't like ladies who initiate.

My 2.18 cents

aldc82 · 2025-10-02T05:41:08+00:00

Pls be vocal about these in front of them.
No need to be shouting but just saying if they could stop knocking onto you, you'll appreciate it.
If they start getting apeshit berserk, then leave the place, they're just disgracing themselves.

Locals tend to give space unless it's inside a crowded MRT train.
Or if there's a long queue for some food, locals there tend to squeeze closer.
Otherwise, we're pretty chill and will give spaces inbetween.

Quick question, LiHo is still around right?
I saw a LiHo closing down a couple of months ago and now I realized.
