    Yeah but you can show interest by texting her the next day and saying you had a good time and would she like to go out again.

    Asking for sex on the first date just shows interest in sex, do you get that? It in no way shows interest in the woman, getting to know her, or dating her.

    Yeah, what Wendy said. I personally would err on the side of not asking someone back to your place at all on the first date. The first date should just be a quick drink or two to make sure there’s some attraction and interest in spending more time together. Going back to a guy’s place the first night you meet feels chaotic and unsafe to me, and probably a lot of other women. And it sets a tone that this is a hookup, which I think is in conflict with what you actually want. So just probably don’t do that. Have a nice time, get out of there, then send a text saying you had a nice time and ask her on a second date. If there are fireworks on the 2nd date you can ask her to come in at the end of the night. Once. Twice IS pushy.

    Shoot, I’m sorry. I’ve seen and heard worse though!

    Do you and Lyn live together and own a single phone that you’re using to post, because you have the same ip address.

    And just in general, this isn’t the kind of conversation to have unless somebody specifically asks you your advice / opinion. ANYTHING personal like this, I can think of tons of examples.

    Fwiw, when I’m logged in that doesn’t happen.

    Divorce is always okay.

    I don’t remember your wife’s situation that caused the chronic pain, but it sounds like it’s mental. Like she’s mentally very unwell, and it’s manifesting as this condition of extreme pain. Is that accurate? Or was there an accident or something that caused this, and the pain is driving her crazy?

    Either way, it sounds like it’s already over, and yes, of course it’s all right to move forward with a divorce. You can still care about her well being and support her in getting the help she needs, but you don’t have to be married to her.

    Apparently Chanel bags used to have real 24k gold plated hardware and excellent quality, everything perfect, so if you get one from the 90s it’s going to be fantastic, vs. now the prices have increased to a laughable level and the quality is inconsistent. Stitching can be wonky, zippers crooked, things break, pearls fall off, and the hardware is just gold-tone metal. Buying vintage is a much better idea than new.

    Unless you’re buying very pricey, timeless clothes, I do think it’s normal for them to be wearing out and also they might be looking a bit dated if you care about that.

    I think Gen Z wears blazers to the club with like a corset or bustier. But I don’t go to the club so wtf do I know.

    You did look incredible in 2013-14 or whenever that was!

    Oh and not to mention making your summer dresses work-appropriate.

    I’m going to go so far as to say, if you buy anything, buy jackets. You can rent or go inexpensive on tops, sweaters, jeans, but jackets have to fit you right. Honestly as soon as I put a jacket on, I am taken more seriously, and it can take any jeans and top up to a boss level. The blouse alone will not do it.

    This can include a fleece jacket like a Patagonia, with or without your company logo, a (faux) leather jacket, the jacket from your suit, a good blazer, even today I’m wearing a casual blazer made of sweatshirt material, but it signals maturity and power. I’m not kidding. You can get a cheap lightweight blazer on Amazon to wear on Zoom all summer over your tank tops, and it sends that same signal. I used to resist jackets, but you have to get on the jacket train. A couple pairs of well-fitting pants are worth buying too, but the jacket is almost everything.
