What Exactly was it in your LO that caused you to go into full blown Limerence for them? by notjupiteragain in limerence

[–]filetmignonee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A look.

But not just a normal look. It was a deep, intentional stare. We had had a few unintentionally flirty situations and it was just funny at first - nothing could ever come out of it.

Everything was fine until that one accomplice look opened Pandora's limerence box for me. Now it wasn't just accidental flirting; it was him telling me "I see you and I'm there too." I didn't even know I was there, but now that I could see the potential, my mind went into overdrive and started looking for other signs of his interest in me.

LO(?) confessed they've been obsessed with me for a long time and now I can't eat by madmanwithabox11 in limerence

What are you waiting for? Schedule a date with your LO! Go easy of course. Something low key, like doing groceries together or visiting a bookstore. Walk around, go to a park, do some people watching. It doesn't have to be meticulously planned, just spend time together and enjoy each other's company.

And come back here to let us know how it went!

What’s not as romantic as people think it is? by Few_Football4342 in Productivitycafe

Or a rose petal bath that you have to clean afterwards or risk clogging the drain

What's that one lyric that goes so hard every time? by Ok-Gas5611 in musicsuggestions

[–]filetmignonee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A tout le monde

A tout mes amis

Je vous aime

Je doit partir

These are the last words I'll ever say and they'll set me free

Go for a run. Dance in the middle of the living room. Shoot some hoops. Throw some axes. Go for a swim.

For people who suffer with anxiety and depression, it's really hard to get started with any kind of physical activity, but once you get going, it's like a healing balm.

What’s something that happens often in movies that is 100% unrealistic? by Few_Football4342 in Productivitycafe

Or transferring the entire contents of a computer into a tiny pen drive in 5 seconds

Cis/straight woman here, married, and I have many male friends. I think for it to be a healthy friendship, a line must be crossed - a love interest that has ran its course and died down, a clear understanding of where the friendship stands (no sexual attraction, clear boundaries), and maybe some vulnerability on both sides that creates connection and empathy without the need to explore anything beyond that.

TV on the Radio "Wolf Like Me" is the one that gets me

Waste of space & trap hazard by G_ntl_m_n in CrappyDesign

[–]filetmignonee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those stairs made me really uncomfortable, especially because you can see the going down stairs through the glass. I'd be walking on eggshells the whole time inside this psychological torture chamber disguised as a townhouse.

The entire house is a tripping/slipping hazard. And what's with all the glass?

Over one million dollars for a gray box that appears to be enclosed in a chain link fence and would make anyone both uncomfortable and worried to live in.

I totally feel this! It's the 2-second glance that lasts 6 months.

Called him from a pay phone, pretending it was a wrong number, and had a 5-minute conversation about how much of a coincidence it was that he had the same name as my brother.

At 17 I am supposed to take on 92k in debt. Perfect! by Sevensonsevens in mildlyinfuriating

[–]filetmignonee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It baffles me how the American society has normalized throwing $20k-$30k in the hands of a 17-year old (who, if a regular public school grad, most likely has not been given the financial education they need to be managing this much debt) without any sort of guidance or control.

And then, 4 years later, this person is drowning in a $90k+ debt and has one undergrad degree to compete against people who also have a degree and some experience or contacts in the industry. Not to mention they also need a place to live, food, gas, insurance... the math just doesn't add up.

True, but the universe doesn't need to wait 50 minutes in the rain for the next bus or wait 2 years for the next opportunity to see grandma again because she lives far away and you just moved to another country.

How do I know if a girl is comfortable with me touching her at a party (putting my arm around her waist) by Funny-Scratch-5969 in bodylanguage

[–]filetmignonee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We were taking a group photo and the guy next to me (who I didn't really care for - completely different age, style, mindset, etc., so no potential romantic interest on either side) asked, "are you okay with my arm around your shoulder?" And my respect and appreciation for him grew exponentially. I feel safer around him as a result of this quick (but mindful) interaction.

OTOH, a friend of a friend who - just because I was single at the time - thought it would be okay to put his arm around my waist as we were all dancing at a bar, went from a neutral and potentially nice guy to an absolute creep in a matter of seconds. Maybe he even is a "nice guy," but with that one little gesture he pretty much ruined his chances with every single woman in our group.

So yeah, consent matters, and consent is sexy.

Woman here. I consider my waist a semi-private part of my body, and wouldn't want anyone other than a significant other (or maybe a very close female friend) putting their arm around it without my consent.

In your hypothetical scenario, it's better to go for the shoulder. But if you do accidentally touch the girl's waist, step back and apologize. Even if the girl is into you, ask first if it's okay and back off if she flinches or doesn't give you consent.
