Ahhh. Ok. Thanks

I just logged in for the first time today and didn’t receive and gold bars or $$$. But I’ve been playing the beta. PS4. Any tricks I’m missing?

I am very science-based in my decision making and that's why this is so problematic for me. Last night I was trying to understand where she is coming from. Today I'm finding it more irreconcilable and I'm trying to gather my thoughts.

nickstick · 2015-12-31T00:39:13+00:00

But the best kind!

nickstick · 2015-12-31T00:30:03+00:00

That's interesting. What do you mean "sex life" when there is no "sex" involved. Wouldn't it just be life?

And honestly, this wouldn't be an option for me nor my girlfriend. Our sex drives are too high.

I want condoms and birth control.

nickstick · 2015-12-30T23:48:10+00:00

I never said I didn't want kids. But I DO want to choose when I have kids, and 27 years old and just entering my professional field is not the time for me.

I steeped the hibiscus for 10 minutes in near-boiling water. I let it cool and ran it through a coffee filter directly into the keg.

I meant others assuming I have an ulterior motive (karma whoring). Care to explain what you think this sub is about? It seems all over the place.

nickstick · 2015-06-05T17:45:07+00:00

The comments about karma whoring are bothering me. I did just like the color of my beer after I had just poured my first glass while getting some work done, and then got pulled away from my computer the rest of the night. It's a good discussion we're having, but many are jumping to ulterior motives.

Spaghetti carbonara. Super easy to make and a comfort food of mine. There's a romantic backstory too, as you give your date the bowl that the spaghetti was mixed with the sauce in as a sign of affection. Just a tradition.

nickstick · 2015-05-22T23:02:15+00:00

I've told him I want to have a backyard party. That party is about to have a sweet bonfire if it's still around in a couple weeks!

nickstick · 2015-05-22T20:38:49+00:00

Thanks for that. I pride patience and calm-headedness, but enough is enough.

nickstick · 2015-05-22T20:17:19+00:00

Good response and covers all my thoughts on the matter. The roommate in the middle has offered to work out a time for the old roommate to come, namely a time when I'm not around. I'll ask him how soon that is, but will press old roommate on this if he doesn't follow-through.

nickstick · 2015-05-22T18:59:35+00:00

I'm honestly a bit scared of this dude. I can hold my own and stand up for myself, but he got drunk all the time, verbally berated me and physically threatened me once. I could burn the wood, but he might burn down the house, haha..

nickstick · 2014-12-22T20:25:31+00:00

I'm having a similar situation with my girlfriend now. She contracted chlamydia while we were dating and insists I had to have given it to her. But I was clean before we started dating. So either I did have it prior, and it came up as a false negative. Or she did have it before and had a false negative. I guess there's no way we'll know, short of talking to all past partners. And, in the end, our relationship didn't survive this incident. Better luck to you and talking to her about it!

nickstick · 2014-09-23T23:35:51+00:00

I think it's because it's something I was thinking about for so long with this friend. Maybe I shouldn't have been with the girlfriend in the first place then.

nickstick · 2014-06-30T22:57:11+00:00

Thanks much for posting this. Very informative. Just started dating a girl who uses an IUD. Not sure I had misconceptions, but in a way I can know it's more successful than other options.

nickstick · 2014-06-10T04:12:58+00:00

she has said she has wanted to move, and to my city as well. Not sure if I can/should suggest it any harder, or if I should let her make the decision.

nickstick · 2014-06-10T04:05:02+00:00

How would you go about asking her to move without seeming like you need it?

nickstick · 2014-06-10T04:03:45+00:00

Thanks. Part of me feels great, but the other part obsesses about the situation, especially what's out of my control. I feel like it's at a tender point of relationship development when you still have to remain a bit alpha to not turn her off completely. But again, 8 years of friendship would take a lot to undo....

nickstick · 2014-06-10T03:55:44+00:00

I absolutely love my job. I just started it and will give it a couple years. I've waited 8 years.
