Even before my husband and I got married, every time I would get my period, he would open a bottle of bubbly and we both do the happy dance.😂

    Why would you go and even get the table? Thats an extra type of karma so you may want to get tables for other couples a hundred times NOT at the expense of a date to even stevens that §hit out.

    With over 386K followers on Instagram, ‘Overheard Dating’ collects interactions people have eavesdropped on or experienced online. And since the submissions are anonymous, it keeps things light-hearted and guilt-free.

    “Dating is like a rollercoaster,” the Overheard HQ says on its website. “Sometimes it’s fun, other times you are left crying, screaming, throwing up in public. Some people fall in love, others send us dating app conversations that will make you want to launch yourself into the sun. Ah, romance!”

    Ha. I have a FWB that doesn't involve sex. We pet sit for each other, she has her packages sent to my porch (safer), I sometimes pick up prescriptions or something at Costco. I fixed her toilet and replaced some lights this summer. So yeah, benefits I guess. :)

    The only thing you mentioned that even hinted at reciprocation was pet sitting. Everything else is stuff you're doing for her. If you pet sit for her, receive her packages, pick up prescriptions or groceries and work on her house you are friendzoned, not FWB. I see why she keeps you hanging around. She seems to be getting a lot out of this "friendship".

    Overheard HQ also runs accounts that capture everyday conversations from cities like London and LA, covering more than just dating talk. They describe themselves as “the social-first public service organization with an ear for city life and local culture.”

    “The first eavesdropper was a social-climbing Neanderthal who overheard where the best overpriced berries could be gathered. Renaissance artists shared marketplace banter on frescoes, which townspeople would tap twice to ‘like’. By the 1930s, walls were made thinner to bring overhearing to the people. Overheard continues this rich history of overhearing in our society, getting all up in other peoples’ business for the future of humankind,” the organization proudly and wittily states.

    But let’s get back to the topic of modern love—is it really that bad? According to the Pew Research Center, it might be. Their 2020 survey found that nearly half of Americans believe dating is harder now than it was ten years ago.

    ADVERTISEMENT
    ADVERTISEMENT

    Of those who feel dating has become more challenging, 21% point to increased increased dangers, including both physical threats and the potential of being scammed or lied to. Others cite reasons like the impact of technology (12%), dating becoming more impersonal (10%), the rise of casual relationships (9%), and changing societal expectations around morals or gender roles (8%).

Single mom of 2 small boys. 6 years later, at my sister's Christmas Eve party. Doorbell rings, I answer it because she's busy. Hi, I"m OttoKatz! He answers Hi, i'm Mike, and my face turned beet red, I hadn't recognized him! But I guess those 6 years made a difference because we talked non-stop, and have been happily married 21 years now.

A 2022 U.S. study revealed that four in five adults experienced some level of emotional fatigue from using dating apps. Similarly, research from Hinge found that 61% of their users describe the dating process as “overwhelming.”

    I get it, some people don't want to date with too much of an age gap so if they were born in 1990 they'd be 34 now and probably not interested in someone who is max 24.

    Love doesn't know your age... Unless one of you is under 18, then the other better be very close. Or the older one is rich/famous and that is the basis of your relationship. i have cumpleanos problem with a 25 year old saying's a 50 year old it it's because of love. However, I would caution that 25 year old to think about what it will be like when the other person dies 25 years before them...

    “Dating apps changed the digital dating landscape due to the collection of convenient features they brought to the table, which I have called ‘intimacies of convenience,’” explains Dr Rachel Katz, a digital media sociologist at the University of Salford, in an article for Vice. “They are often image-based, mobile, geolocative, use a swiping mechanism, and have a ‘consent to chat’ feature. People had an active role in choosing who they wanted to match with.”

    “People like the convenience these features enable,” adds Katz. “But at the same time, this convenience can also bring negative experiences: transactional language, ghosting and objectifying language. Moreover, there are fewer social ramifications to these behaviours on dating apps compared to real-life interactions—it’s possible that repeated negative experiences might lead to dating app fatigue.”

    I've got a strong suspicion that if they can't see you parallel park until the 3rd or 4th date then there's a good chance that nobody should ever have to see you (try to) parallel park.

    One tricky part of trying to find a spark online is that it’s hard to form a meaningful connection through a screen, especially when you’re not fully sure of the other person’s intentions.

    “Dating apps make initial matches text-based,” says psychotherapist and couples’ counselor Hilda Burke. “In his book Silent Messages, Professor Albert Mehrabian developed the theory that only 7 percent of meaning is communicated through what we say: 38 percent is through tone of voice, 55 percent is through body language. We are so text dependent on dating apps, we’re only getting about 7 percent of what that person means. It allows for ambiguity to develop.”

    Another unfortunate part of today’s dating scene is how ghosting has become a common and accepted practice. It can happen in the middle of yet another chat on a dating app, or even after spending months with someone, only to suddenly find yourself blocked on social media. A study by the University of Georgia last year revealed that two out of three people have both ghosted someone and experienced being ghosted themselves.

    I've never understood why society has developed so many rules that interfere with the ability to eat efficiently. If there's a good sauce on the plate the only practical options are bread or my tongue, and a lot of things that have a good sauce may not come with (enough) bread.

    Unfortunately, I've been there..

    “People that ‘ghost’ are too afraid or too rude to address their own feelings of discomfort,” says Dr. Tirrell Degannes, Psy.D, licensed clinical psychologist in New York City. “You don’t want to be with someone that cannot comfortably address their feelings anyway; you’re better off not hearing from them. Letting go of hard feelings means appreciating the nuances that separate them from those you clearly dislike.”

    When it comes to dealing with the ups and downs of dating, the Thriving Center Of Psych suggests that embracing these difficulties is part of the journey and can help you move forward. “Finding someone to date, opening up, and having a spark is hard, and that’s just the first part of dating. You then want to agree on important things and figure out if they are someone you can see yourself being with,” they explain. “Dating is so hard, and there are obstacles. But there’s no need to rush. Take your time, do something you enjoy, and learn to open up so that you’re ready to have an honest conversation when the time arises.”

What gets me is when they name them after other US places - if you like it so much there, go back!

    1 year ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    Canola is rapeseed that has been genetically modified to have less erucic acid, and is processed using solvents. Cold pressed rapeseed oil, by contrast, is the oil from a rapeseed plant.

    Or ghee or coconut oil. Palm oil if sustainability sourced. Tallow, lard, even butter. Never canola and not olive oil unless your idea of heating food is gently blowing on it.

    "Stanning" is when you're a huge fan of something (usually a celebrity.) So to say "I stan Stephen King" means "I'm a huge fan of Stephen King." So, the person is saying that they like "slúts" and are asking how many guys the person slept with because they are apparently turned on by the person being a "slút". The term "stan" comes from a song Eminem wrote in the early 2000s which was basically a mini-story about a fictional crazy fan of his named Stan.

    Are you really a proper adult if you don’t own a plunger?

    And make sure you have a toilet plunger and a sink plunger. You can use the same for both, but the toilet plunger doesn't work as well for sink. Plus, I don't want the toilet plunger used in my sinks or tub, even after bleaching it! 🤮

    Sink plungers are just slightly smaller versions, and are easier to handle in smaller spaces

    Only an idiot would flush again if it clogged. Doesn't anyone else know how to use a plunger? Idiots, the world is filled with idiots. My wife is so lucky. I can clog a toilet and then unclog it.

    How do you live in your own home as an adult and not have a plunger? No wonder the toilet overflowed. Poor guy.

    PSA: Have a toilet plunger in your home. Sooner or later you will need it.

    I'm 64 and it took me one nanosecond to figure it out. Are you okay?

    Had to Google it myself. "A chain of eclectic boutiques, stocked with trendy women's clothing & accessories." I imagine the meaning behind the person saying that is they mean that the salespeople working in an Aritzia make a fuss over you and compliment you in order to butter you up to buy expensive products.

    Maybe he was on a date with a woman, and got upset that she had a boner? So maybe she was trans and didn't tell him?

    At least it wasn't a video. My ex recorded a significant portion of 4th of July fireworks show we went to early on (first 6 weeks-ish) of dating. Should have predicted he'd spend the next 8 years experiencing life through his phones lens and constantly sending me videos to watch. "WHAT? You didn't watch the video?!" No. I hate videos in general as you really should know by this point..

    I don't understand. Doesn't one generally approach a buffet and take an empty plate from a stack of them near the buffet? And if the buffet is busy, one must wait their turn rather than just ramming through the other people getting food?

    Seeing them standing in line for a buffet with an empty plate turned them off from that person. Was something that made them basically be no longer attracted. I guess it’s funny because it’s strangely normal and it still turned them off 🤷🏼‍♀️

    Maybe because he couldn't decide on food at a buffet
