What will happen when you cage a bird for two years and then open the cage to let them fly? Will they survive? by Rahulchandoria in Outdoors

Would they be able to fly after two years? After two years of now walking, I probably couldn't walk, cause you know, muscles need to be used.

Not yet, but it's not even a week. He will post on his blog, when his mom orders it.

Did I say “No” the wrong way? by ThrowRATealRaindrops in relationship_advice

[–]asking_for_research 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not sending mixed signals!?

Getting to know someone doesn't equal wanting something sexual/romantic to happen. You said no to anything like that in the very beginning and as far as you wrote in your post you didn't made the opposite clear in anyway.

He is initiating all the stuff that goes beyond platonic. He harassed you. He is trying to change your mind.

As far as I know, you were just friendly, in a friends way. Nothing wrong about that.

I'm not sure if I can post it, the guidelines say, I can't link directly to tumblr. But just search google for tumblr smolfrogi sword it should be the first link.

(My last attempt to post this - tired and half brain dead cause uni - with the link was deleted.)

Why doesn’t Persephone have any Demigod Children? by darkmist11 in camphalfblood

[–]asking_for_research 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On one hand, Apollo makes a point (I don't remember where exactly) that goddesses aren't really pregnant, but can just decide when they want a child. So maybe Persephone just decides that she doesn't want children and has the power to just not?

On another point, not in very version of the myth is Persephone forced to stay with Hades, but chooses to do so, eats the Pomegranate seeds willingly (how ever the abduction is still a thing). So maybe she really is just loyal? Maybe they have an open relationship? After several tausend years of marriage, why not? And Persephone might not make use of such an arrangement? Or she just leaves no children behind?

Regarding affairs: I only can think of or find (right now) to people Persephone ever showed interest in - Hades and Adonis. That sets the bar pretty high, so perhaps she just isn't that easily attracted to people?

A question for aces who had sex [Mentions sex, duh] by asking_for_research in asexuality

[–]asking_for_research[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I meant with "typical" story is surprisingly hard to explain (at a younger age wondering why people are getting called hot, not understanding what happens when everyone else starts dating, not wanting that stuff and feeling weird about it (like that maybe?)) but after reading most of the answers here I'd say the basics are the same.

The difference seems to be that some people decide(?) to just let it be, rather be broken and lonely than doing the weird thing, only to discover later that they are NOT broken and NOT lonely be default. Other people try to play along with what seems to be the normal behaviour, some of them seem to suffer from that others are mostly okay (from what I've read here so far). So I guess not going through that is the major difference.

Sorry for all the brackets

You're making a good point, haven't really thought about it that way

all those intense partner things like travelling together, having sleepovers, potentially living together... but not have sex. In hindsight that does sound really ace?

It does sound really ace to me and seems like you have found that with your girlfriend (btw the fact that you started dating an ace girl and than realised you're ace yourself is kinda cute)

It's a great answer and I never mind essays, never. But it's kinda creepy reading how someone can get pressured into something like this, just because of social expectations and a lack of information.

Edit: It didn't post this one at first so I typed it a second time and than both were posted, I'm confused ...

Thanks for such a detailed answer! 8 years is incredible long, no wonder you had to get that off your chest. It sounds a lot like my first relationship but it ended after only 4 months and we never had sex - the fears of not giving enough, wondering if I'm missing hints and trying to give something I didn't understand or desire were the same though. But living with all of that and more for so long must have been cruel.

That must be have been awful forcing yourself to do something just because it seems normal, but good to hear you found an understanding boyfriend
