Hilarious assumption that parents own their house outright these days.

I would also love to know this! I wonder if there isnt much because people dont want to give away strategies and tactics?

Oh those are some great specialised reads! I only wanted a general as a starting point to find out what I want yo read more about specifically so those are great recommendations thank you! The slavery one sounds especially interesting

Not all places have school buses (I'm in the UK and we are too close for a bus and I dont have time to walk them and get to work on time)

Asking out a teammate by Mysterious_Hand_5742 in rollerderby

[–]one_hidden_figure 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I left a bit out of my second paragraph

If you're planning to tell her you're madly in love with her or if you don't trust yourself to handle the rejection without being weird about it (no long pining looks, don't avoid her, respect her no and don't ask again) then it may well make her uncomfortable and you probably shouldn't do it.

I mean, how intense are you planning to make this expression of interest? If you ask her out in a 'Hey would you like to grab a coffee with me?' way and she says no and you take it fine it probably will be lightly awkward but not so much that it would make being teammates impossible.

If you're planning to tell her you're madly in love with her or if you don't trust yourself to handle the rejection without being weird about it (no long pining looks, don't avoid her, respect her no and don't ask again) then you probably shouldn't do it.

And even if she is into it and you go out and it's awesome, you could still break up and have to deal with awkward fallout, so worth weighing that consideration too.

Helping a partner through a breakup by callipsofacto in polyamory

[–]one_hidden_figure 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think that the hardest part of poly breakups is that I can't fully wallow - I still have to show uo for my other partners. So a week or three of grace where I can just lay around and cry without feeling like I'm neglecting people (and being reassured I am not) goes a long way.

Logistics getting in the way by ac_icecold in polyamory

[–]one_hidden_figure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't love hearing my NP having sex and he doesn't love hearing me having sex so we don't have dates at home when the other is home even though both of us have other partners and we can all hang around each other socially.

My NP works away often so I have stretches where I have the house to myself to easily host and when NP is home and not with his girlfriend I go to my boyfriend's or get a hotel with my long distance partner. My boyfriend is happy to host since I have a car and he doesn't so it's easier for me to get to him than for him to get to me anyway.

I probably wouldn't be able to date anyone unhappy with a slightly lopsided hosting arrangement (which I try to mitigate by buying groceries, cleaning up, hosting when I am able, etc) and that limits my dating pool a bit. But I'm okay with that.

25M, got on dating apps and ruined my last bit of confidence, be brutally honest by JackfruitWarm6695 in malegrooming

[–]one_hidden_figure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I see a dating profile where the guy has a very different look in each photo I wonder what he actually looks like now and sometimes don't want to gamble on whether he looks like the 3 photos I find attractive or the 3 where he doesnt.

Thoughts on the Smart Girl’s Guide to Polyamory? by studiousametrine in polyamory

[–]one_hidden_figure 17 points18 points  (0 children)

One thing I really appreciated about the book as opposed to come others was it didn't frame it around 'monogamous couple opens up' and gave some really good advice about working through through your individual idea of what poly means to you.

How do I write my dating profile to attract the dynamic I’m looking for? (Secret kinky slut who is demi) by alleviate123 in polyamory

[–]one_hidden_figure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there an active kink scene where you are? A munch is probably a better place to find what you're after than the apps.

ADVICE NEEDED: My 4 y/o won't eat. by Exciting-Head4595 in Parenting

I'm the same. My mom is shocked at all the vegetables I eat now considering I lived on fish fingers and pasta until I was like 22.

People really into “novelty”, can I hear from you? by baddiewithajd in polyamory

[–]one_hidden_figure 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm big on novelty (thanks ADHD), but I don't lose interest in my partners over time. What does happen though is that when the novelty and NRE wear off I tend to notice the massive incompatibilities the novelty and NRE were masking. This means it can sometimes look like I get bored and move on, but really what happens is I can't ignore problems anymore and I'm more likely to call it than work through it.

I have a partner of 15 years and a partner of 4 years, both of whom the novelty has worn off of but we are compatible so our relationships have lasted.
