As a teenager (back in the day…) before every single person had a cellphone, i wasnt able to get my own cellphone until i had a job and could pay for it. I still remember my first phone and how awesome it was. My parents bought me a (used, old) vehicle for my first car too, but i had to pay insurance. I do, in hindsight, really really wish i had started a high yield savings account when i was younger. I can only imagine where it’d be now !!! My parents did not tell me what to do with my money beyond ‘pay your bills.’ which i appreciated.. I am the money saver of me and both my siblings though (Now at least!) so they didnt worry about me too much lol
In complete agreement with @Skyblossom.
“This comes down to whether the way you do something is more important to you or whether the relationship is more important to you. It is a choice.”
Yep.
On the Basis of Sex is such an inspiring movie
Really is happening more and more. My cousin is huge into the dna stuff and last year found out our grandpa had a daughter 9 years prior to having my aunt with my nana. They weren’t together yet and so not as scandalous as some of the stories but my mom finding out she had a half sister was pretty mind blowing. My grandpa passed when mom was 17 and we all are pretty sure he had NO idea (it was kept fairly hush hush from what little we gather) but still.. crazy
Sorry to hear that @JD. I can sympathize. I was told when I was 13 that me having my own biological children would require (ridiculously expensive) intervention and I really didn’t grasp it as a young teenager, but it’s really affected the way I am in romantic relationships in my 20s.. in the back of my mind, i’m always like, if I can’t provide a family, what man is going to be okay with that? It’s tough.
Manfriend of Veritek and I live almost two hours apart. We see each other, at minimum, once a week. It’s not too far away if you really want to see someone.
Exactly. And for 3 months until I’m there? SO TOTALLY DOABLE.
@courtney89 so, he took a while to text back and that was a sign to delete him and move on?
No, no. Not being a quick texter is fine. We’re all busy and he has a demanding job and I totally get it. But I reached out that night after we went to brunch, he took awhile (not a super good sign but OK, understand) and I decided to let him reach out to me. He didn’t. That’s when I was like OK I don’t want to accidently text or call him and deleted him :shrug: still hasn’t reached out, so onward and upward.
@courtney89 Yeah, that’s always disappointing. Two hours (by car, I’m assuming?) isn’t so far that two months of making that kind of trip would be out of the question for someone who is super interested. So, I’d probably write him off even if he does reach out again.
Yep! Going to delete it and not give it another thought if by chance he does. Its an easy 2 hour drive, totally doable and like I said I’m up there a lot already so he probably realistically wouldnt have to make much effort! So it goes.
I had what I thought was a great first date, met this guy on match, lots of laughs and we had a great vibe and he even told me afterwards ‘that was really fun, I had a great time.’ lots in common to talk about. I am moving to his area in two months, I live about two hours away. I texted him when I got home thanking him again and telling him I had fun and he took awhile to text back and I took that already as a bad sign. I haven’t reached out again. Onward and upward! Just sucks when you had what you think was a good date and nothing came out of it. I am happy I did it though! It’ll be interesting if he randomly reaches out in November though because I told him that’s when i’m moving.
I dont get why someone who seems so annoyed and bothered with every response in every thread even bothers commenting.
“Just ignore JD. I think she has proven on this and every other thread that the complexity of other people’s feelings is beneath her.”
lol TRUTH @MissD.
Yeah, after getting stood up the first time, that would be IT barring (very few) certain circumstances. I’d be PI$$ED. Clearly he didn’t respect you or your time enough to let you know beforehand.
