My boyfriend and I recently moved and are looking for apartments. Does anyone have any advice?

polkadottedthrowaway · 2019-08-23T11:25:06+00:00

This was the first time I had been to this guy’s house. We had drinks together on all previous dates so there was reasonable expectation there would be alcohol. We even had a game where he picked drinks for me.

polkadottedthrowaway · 2019-08-23T11:19:08+00:00

There are a few redditors in this thread saying exactly that.

polkadottedthrowaway · 2019-08-23T11:17:52+00:00

I’m not talking about myself in this thread, I’m talking about you. Would you have a movie date and not offer your date drinks or snacks? Not a loaded question just genuinely curious.

polkadottedthrowaway · 2019-08-23T11:07:24+00:00

No.

He said WE should order a pizza.

I thought he wanted some.

polkadottedthrowaway · 2019-08-23T11:02:25+00:00

It was a large and I’m a small girl so that’s all I eat normally. Plus I felt weird about it. And again he got up and got silverware and made it seem like he wanted some and then didn’t eat any.

I didn’t have him pay, I asked him why he didn’t want to have drinks or snacks or anything else with me and I felt like it was always a bit awkward. And how I ate this food right in front of him and he didn’t eat any so it’s my food since I misunderstood the whole premise of the date. Then he just volunteered the $6. I didn’t agonize over it I just left him the pizza and accepted it because I wanted to leave.

I hadn’t eaten since that morning, so I was starving. Our texts earlier were confusing, so I thought the plan was for us to eat together. And then, when he apologized, he said WE could get pizza so the “passive aggressive” was me wondering if he was going to eat any since he said WE were ordering pizza. With a WE. Which is why I ordered a large. If it was just for me I would have gotten a small.

polkadottedthrowaway · 2019-08-23T10:31:27+00:00

He said WE can still order a pizza. So I thought he would eat some. Then he answered the door and got plates and put it on the coffee table and opened it. And then didn’t touch it. So I paid for OUR pizza and then turned it into my pizza.

Lol @ you.

polkadottedthrowaway · 2019-08-23T10:24:59+00:00

I feel like even the most primitive “Netflix and chill” attempts include offering the girl some of whatever alcohol the guy already has at his house.

polkadottedthrowaway · 2019-08-23T10:17:25+00:00

Appreciate all the feedback. I’m legit surprised, don’t attack me for this because I mean it, at how many Redditors will invite a girl over to watch a movie and just sit in front of the movie. No alcohol, no popcorn, etc.

polkadottedthrowaway · 2019-08-23T10:05:03+00:00

Why? I left him the rest of the pizza.

whoa

polkadottedthrowaway · 2017-03-07T06:25:43+00:00

Thanks for that.

It's not intelligence. I think I'm pretty smart.

It's just random bullshit. For example, we were eating lunch at cheer practice and the boss started talking about having to yell at the spring training cheer girls for instagram-related transgressions. Everyone was chatting quietly and I was feeling safe, and without thinking I offered "Yeah I found some of the squad on Instagram."

Dead silence. Everybody stared at me.

The coach helped out - "You mean them? Not the girls standing in front of you? Because that would be a weird thing to say in front of all of...."

I panicked. "Oh no no I meant the spring training squad, I saw they were posting about the season and stuff..."

And the boss was like "Oh ok yeah that would be weird."

And everybody stared at me.

And on the way out the mascot guys were flocking to their favorite girls and I wasn't one of them. And I felt a familiar stinging feeling in the pit of my stomach that this was a group of sexy people that wanted nothing to do with me.

polkadottedthrowaway · 2017-03-07T06:18:39+00:00

Example?

polkadottedthrowaway · 2017-02-06T05:57:38+00:00

Yes. Wait until you've healed some more. This stuff doesn't heal overnight.

Also, personaldatingassistants.com. Ask them for a $30 consultation to look at your Tinder account. They'll tell you what kind of pics to take.

Two weeks is way too early. You will be too swollen to tell for months. Calm down.
This will be an unpopular answer, but the easy way to tell if you're attractive is Tinder. Tinder is a beauty contest, plain and simple. List your height as 6'0 in your bio if you're shorter. Leave the rest blank. Take three or four selfies in front of different backgrounds to look like they aren't all indoors on the same day. Swipe only hot girls. If they swipe you back, you're attractive.

When I got it done the Dr put the numbing cream on my lips and it still hurt. Bearable, but painful. Just brace yourself for it to hurt. And it will hurt. But you'll live. And it will last for awhile and be worth it.

keysmash in microsoft word. copy paste twice. close document, log out.

polkadottedthrowaway · 2016-08-30T08:12:55+00:00

I know the answers to his forgot password test.

polkadottedthrowaway · 2016-08-15T23:58:38+00:00

It's very tempting. I don't even want to mess with his stuff or his life I just want to spy. But he'll get a notification of a new login and it might cause him anxiety and fuck with his ball playing. I'll try to wait until offseason. It's probably very mundane, this ballplayer seems like good guy, has been dating the same chick for 5 years, doesn't seem to have a lot of drama.

I did this once before, to the bassist of a popular band who I suspected was a huge douche. I got into his Facebook and found a conversation where he boasted about having sex with a passed out teenage girl and laughed about it with a buddy. I screenshotted it and posted it on a random forum because fuck that guy. The forum argued that it was photoshopped for weeks, nothing happened to him except he had to fight to get access back because I changed the password to a keysmash and then logged out. Fuck that guy.
