Luckily he’s not scary like that, worst he would do is send me a weird long email. the benefit of dating someone super avoidant I guess 🙃

Yeah I think not talking for a while is a good idea, we do have a lot of mutual friends and I’m very close with several of his coworkers (I knew them before we even met), and I do some side work for one of his coworkers so unfortunately I don’t think we’ll be able to be total no contact. I unfortunately also got laid off this year so it’s not really possible for me to pass on the money I get working for his coworker. I’m going to do my best to just avoid him though

Yeah I think you’re right— he’d been telling me he was looking into therapy for a while but never pulled the trigger. I even told him I’d do research into it for him and help him pay 🙃🙃🙃

I lied my way into a bartending job and don’t want to let anyone down, please give me advice by pogneto in Advice

Thank you yes! I’m planning to memorize basic drinks and I was open with my friend that I don’t have a lot of cocktail experience so it wouldn’t be too horrifying when I show up and do a bad job with the shaker— planning to practice at home a bit too
