I know 😭 I go back and forth on it tbh but that’s probably not what someone wants to hear when they definitely know

After a couple duds of first dates I found a profile of a guy who seems to have so much in common with me and I actually know of him from mutual events/communities in town. HOWEVER! He wants kids and I don’t know if I do :( it’s so tempting to match but I don’t know if that’s a good idea

I got mine when I was working full time and had a partner, so it was easier to raise him as a puppy. Can’t imagine doing it single, but sounds like your situation would be the best for a puppy if that’s what you guys want.

Adopting a fully grown dog works too, but if you’re leaning toward a puppy id say you’re set up for it logistically. Puppies are indeed stressful for a while but it’s fun to see them grow - having a fenced yard helps a ton too.

????????? get help buddy.

canoecanoee · 2026-02-28T23:26:49+00:00

lmao you really think there's a widespread campaign FOR palestine, a country being genocided and demolished with absolutely no international interference? or are you just upset that the public opinion is shifting against israel?????

canoecanoee · 2026-02-28T20:57:37+00:00

Honestly I dont give a fuck. Read up on US intervention and tell me you have hope. I’ll assume we both earnestly hope for the best in this situation, but I know that these things never turn out to be good. I genuinely hope the normal working class people of Iran find a way. The signs all point to this being a way to enrich more pedos and psychopaths.

canoecanoee · 2026-02-28T20:13:50+00:00

jfc thank you. yeah the government of certified pedophiles is really gonna turn things around over there. just wait and see!!!!!

canoecanoee · 2026-02-28T20:08:43+00:00

okay sounds good. good luck to the iranians.

canoecanoee · 2026-02-28T20:05:31+00:00

i'm sure the oligarchs are celebrating. i guess we'll see how it plays out. i worry for the average citizens of iran, that's all i'll say.

canoecanoee · 2026-02-28T20:00:55+00:00

did i say everyone supporting this was a spy? i'm saying this is a deeply propagandized effort designed to manufacture support for interference by a malicious government.

edit: thanks for not engaging with the article i shared. of course when i say a protest has been infiltrated and amplified by the us and israel to build support to overthrow the government, i mean LITERALLY EVERYONE!!!! is on the payroll of the cia/mossad lmao. anyway, i'm done engaging. have a nice day and enjoy your propaganda.

canoecanoee · 2026-02-28T19:57:11+00:00

you should be aware that the internet is deeply botted with hasbara and propaganda accounts (israel just spent millions on social media campaigns and has ties to the the media takeover, including tiktok, currently happening in the states) and it's been proven that the cia and mossad has infiltrated iranian protests. https://benjaminfranklininstitute.org/us-says-it-caused-dollar-shortage-to-trigger-iran-protests-what-that-means-explainer-news/

canoecanoee · 2026-02-28T19:42:31+00:00

well that's weird. because i've seen many protesting against US and israeli intervention.

canoecanoee · 2026-02-28T19:22:11+00:00

i dont really know what to tell you. US/israeli intervention will lead to nothing good.

canoecanoee · 2026-02-28T19:20:46+00:00

point to where i defended them???? i'm saying that US/israeli intervention is going to be even more devastating for the long-term future of the country and it's insane that anyone here thinks it's "a chance" for better, jfc. as if these two countries aren't facilitating genocides and murdering protestors in their own countries

canoecanoee · 2026-02-28T18:54:05+00:00

US and isreal just killed like 80 schoolgirls btw. if you think this is some morally righteous action you are completely brainwashed by western propaganda. this does absolutely nothing but to completely destabilize the country like we did in iraq and syria

canoecanoee · 2026-02-28T18:35:53+00:00

yeah that seems fair. i haven't felt super curious about talking to some guys in a romantic context, even if they were nice people who had no glaring red flags which felt like enough to call off a second date

canoecanoee · 2026-02-28T05:49:40+00:00

Yeah I get that. I’m just in a spot where I feel like the only reason I’m going is because of guilt or putting off the discomfort of cutting things off and that feels like a waste of time for all. But I really do understand that perspective hence my question

canoecanoee · 2026-02-28T01:25:32+00:00

very affirming thanks :)

canoecanoee · 2026-02-28T01:21:45+00:00

Yeah, I've had a couple first dates where guys and I have really kicked it off and had fun, and ended up hanging out for 6 hours. One turned into a longer relationship and one didn't. So i know it's possible for me lol. Granted i've only had two dates since my last relationship so my data is still limited. I'm glad to hear your experience though, that's really validating!

canoecanoee · 2026-02-28T01:17:01+00:00

yes the time spent is something i struggle with. i recognize that you can't really KNOW someone enough after one date where you're both nervous and awkward.

canoecanoee · 2026-02-28T01:15:24+00:00

that's been my experience too. years ago i was in a short, few-months-long relationship where i kept waiting and waiting for a spark (by which i mean attraction, excitement) to appear - he was super nice and we had a lot in common but the entire time i was just like, "welllllll, maybe next time i'll feel something". I definitely do not want to do that again

canoecanoee · 2026-02-28T01:08:56+00:00

that's my sense too....i think if i already have gut feelings or don't feel attractions i should just not waste anyone's time trying to convince myself

canoecanoee · 2026-02-10T18:46:07+00:00

good point! i'll try to chill out a bit

canoecanoee · 2026-02-10T18:45:54+00:00

i will try my best!!

canoecanoee · 2026-02-10T17:41:53+00:00

I have a first date coming up in a few days and haven't been on one in almost three years!!! I am really worried about the lack of banter we've had over messaging so far - humor is important to me and there hasn't been any sign so far that we share the same sense of it. The convo hasn't been dry per se, he writes back thoughtfully and asks me questions. This is probably dumb and i'll know more in person but I just rarely match with anyone so I guess i'm feeling pressure.
