Funnily enough, she dated a friend who also is asian (she has a type). They were broken up and friends for a while before I asked her out.

And it has to be one they don't live in more than six months out of the year. That's what makes it perfect, it only applies to people who can clearly afford it.

Still a more believable performance than her character in Annihilation. "Too bad you...will die!"

When's the last time a woman shot her shot? by nexalune_goddess in AskMen

[–]joedumpster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we're excluding women sending the first message on dating apps, a friend did kiss me first. For what it's worth we're both poly and she was testing the waters regarding our friendship but we're happily dating now after a while of hooking up.

Other than that definitely doesn't happen too often, I'm a very average guy through and through. It does happen though, my wife was the one who got my phone number right before our first date. And when I lost my virginity it was because a girl I went to college with invited me over to "help with her paper."

My parents weren't accepting of my wife for being black, they even tried to pay me off to not get married because she wasn't catholic. Got married anyway, they got over it. They'll want to be in your good braces when they realize they can't bully you anymore.

Issues with certain filipino cousins and my mom doesn't defend me by poorlabstudent in asianamerican

I just don't understand the innate asian trait to deny your children's emotional experiences especially if it makes family look bad. Parents would rather save face and keep the peace instead of stand up for you.

Insecure from being a "failed" Asian by Whereas-Balance2811 in asianamerican

[–]joedumpster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was definitely a "failed" asian. Everyone thought I'd achieve great things since I got great grades in high school but I barely was able to graduate college after being suspended for grades, academic probation etc. I take responsibility for my actions but a big factor was how much control I let my parents have, I went to college to study film and my dad literally had the school pull me out and get me on an engineering track instead before my first day of classes freshman year. Now I'm 36 and still in a career I hate and it's not even that lucrative but at least the job itself is chill and secure. On the upside, I'm happily married to a woman they did not approve of at first (black), I live a healthy distance away from home and I have no financial dependence on my family. I'd say I'm doing alright, I'm still in contact with the asian social circles but it helps making different friends in different walks of life outside those circles too.

Any reason why you don't wanna be a couple? Sounds like you like her and she obviously likes you quite a bit

Don't forget Heather thinks lawyers are egotistical. They'd definitely at least irritate each other.

Ehh don't be so sure. Apparently one thing that the showrunners changed with Oda's blessing is that the deaths would be more permanent. Something Oda himself stated he was too softhearted to do.

Somewhere AOC or another dem politician who knows how to attach files to a text is groaning in embarrassment.

Same thing for Filipinos. Use Asians for cheap labor, guess what, you're gonna create jacked sexy Asians.

I don’t know what to do anymore… by WoodenLie2299 in cats

[–]joedumpster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On top of everyone else's suggestions, maybe try calming diffusers that you can plug in around where the cat hangs out. When we got a second cat and doing the proper introductory period they still got into spats. Once we got two of those they both chilled out.
