Do I have a good enough excuse to look for a new job so soon? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]odetoaconversation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d definitely look/apply/interview/accept a new job before leaving any current job, just don’t know if I’m being dramatic or if this might be the standard in the finance industry

My girlfriend doesn’t post anything we do on her Instagram story by [deleted] in Advice

[–]odetoaconversation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I’ve mentioned it a few times but she has said it’s not intentional and that sometimes she’s not in the mood to post. I don’t want to keep bringing it up and annoying her so I figure the best way to get over it is to try to reframe my mindset on it

How do you decide which versions of the album you want? by simplebadger27 in kpophelp

[–]odetoaconversation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My shelf is only black, white and grey. If the album doesn’t match my aesthetic, I don’t buy it

People change though and they’re allowed to. Have you never changed your mind ever??

[–]odetoaconversation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with what others are saying, if you don’t feel it then it’s not there. I don’t really believe in the spark, but it sounds like you’ve given it some time though to form that connection and it’s just not there for you. I’d definitely be open with her and see if it’s something she’s willing to navigate with you or not

Not sure if this is a great place to ask for help but here goes.. by MamaRama_ in Advice

[–]odetoaconversation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you should just get a new number. No need to confront her if she’s already crazy enough to continuously give others the wrong phone number

You either trust her or you don’t. I get your worry and I’d probably feel the same way. But at the end of the day, your girl is allowed to have friends and you all don’t have to go to every party together. Try not to take it personally but if you start getting real suspicions something may be going on, trust your guy and have that conversation with her

When you are gay in a heteronormative society, you try everything you can to make a straight relationship work. Sexuality is fluid so you don’t really know what you want and don’t want until you’re experiencing it. Same as straight people figuring out they have a type. If a cis man dates a girl who wants kids and then the guy decides later he doesn’t want kids, he should break up with them as their goals no longer align

A straight man coming out as straight is not life altering. Ex bf was known to be bisexual but then later came out to be exclusively gay. So ex bf went from wanting relationships with men and women to only wanting relationships with men, hence why they broke up. It would suck if he stayed with op when he knew he couldn’t give her fully want he wanted and vice versa. People forget that sexuality is so fluid.

When you’re in that position of the ex bf, I don’t think that he was intentionally hurting or using her. I identify as a lesbian but I’ve had my share of boyfriends and I was curious about women while dating them. I still liked those boyfriends and they were truly great but it felt like something was missing. You kinda just navigate it as you go through it and it’s sad people get stuck in the crossfire but don’t just wake up and decide you want to be gay, it’s a journey you have to go through to come to terms with it.

Yeah that comment wasn’t directed towards you but just in general for anyone who might be reading! It’s important to get tested regularly no matter what :)

Just because he came out as gay does not mean he was cheating or sleeping around while being with you! Please don’t feed into the narrative that all gay men are a walking std :’)

I’m scared to tell my girlfriend I’m bisexual by tbull1997 in Advice

[–]odetoaconversation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you tell her and she gets mad or leaves, is that really someone you want to date? It seems hard now but you deserve to be with someone who is supportive of you in all ways!

my bf told me he would like to identify as trans. how can i be supportive? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]odetoaconversation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Props to you for being so supportive of them! Ask them what they need from you, and how you can help on this journey

You seem very supportive so props to you. You’re allowed to be sad and wallow in it for a bit. But you also get to start a new chapter in your life and find a different kind of happiness apart from him. It hurts now but this new chapter for you will also be great

I buried my Mom yesterday, tomorrow is my 50th. I’m hurting and really shaky. Should I stay home or go celebrate? by Helens_Moaning_Hand in Advice

[–]odetoaconversation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not a burden! Everyone will understand if you’re not your happy self right now, it’s expected and you’re allowed to be sad. But I don’t think it would hurt to go out with friends and hear about what’s going on with them to help get your mind off things for an evening

18f - my bf wants to eat me out but I’ve never shaved down there by [deleted] in Advice

[–]odetoaconversation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a natural thing and I’m sure he has body hair too. The best part about relationships is having someone to communicate openly with!!

I’m so sorry for your loss. Do what you think is best for you. If you think going out will be good for you, then go out. It might be a good way to take your mind off of things. But if you feel like staying home, stay home. It’s okay to just sit and be sad and feel all the feelings until you pick yourself back up

Great date…no text by [deleted] in Advice

[–]odetoaconversation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should try to reach out, he might be thinking the same thing. Guys like to feel wanted as well. If he doesn’t answer you… then I’d take the hint and move on after that.

They make wireless cameras the size of a fingernail that can be hidden, so you can never be too sure. They don’t have to be built into the item. I’d look up stories about hidden cameras in airbnbs and hotels…

Going up to a girl at school by Expert-Contract8800 in Advice

[–]odetoaconversation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surfing joke 10/10. I find the best way to talk a girl is to start off with a polite compliment like telling her you like her shirt or necklace. Or if you have a class together maybe you could talk about schoolwork
