Sure, she could totally have the baby (or a complication) 3 weeks early. A woman I work with had hers 9 weeks early and it was really traumatic (everyone is ok now). If the question is, is she being unreasonable, no. It really sucks to have to miss your brother’s wedding, and the “won’t let me” language is a little weird, but she’s not being unreasonable.
My dad wasn’t there when my brother was born, and he thinks there was a switcheroo.
@Copa, I don’t think it’s his age… All my friends are late 30s to mid 40s, plus my parents, older relatives, etc… they text like you text. My dad texted me and my husband the other day that he was at the place he was supposed to meet us, and we both texted back “new phone who dis?” just to mess with him, but he got it and was like “it’s your father-in-law haha” or something. He’s 67.
People who text like this guy are generally that kind of communicator. If it’s just his texts that are like that, maybe he’ll kind of pick up on your style and adapt. If he’s long winded and formal in general, that will become apparent.
This story about a guy who was having a shit time with online dating until he let his mom take over is really cute and encouraging.

I am sure he means it… a visit is fun and no-commitment, right? So he’s saying, if we’re still in contact and like each other, you should [spend thousands of dollars if it’s summer and] come visit. I think he’s being pretty reasonable about the whole thing and at least he’s not BS’ing you like, yes! I totally see us together 6 months from now! Taking it day by day makes sense.
Wasn’t he talking about you visiting him already, a few weeks ago?
Not personally but there are a lot of video reviews on YouTube. It seems like people get good results with them. I might try one. But I have free blowouts for a year, second time now. I show up for my salon’s anniversary party and bid in the silent auction and no one else does, and I end up winning free cuts and blowouts and since it’s for charity it’s a tax deduction. So if I want the bouncy waves, I leave it to the pros.
It’s still impossible to read.
I guess, yeah, I tried dating a guy who lived 8 hours away because he talked me into it… I realized he was seriously sketchy, but if I hadn’t given it a shot, I might have thought we had this amazing connection and wondered what might have been. We had some fun times, but neither of us would have moved.
And you know, call me a cynic, but I kind of don’t trust a guy who seems to be trying to start something serious when he knows he’s only there temporarily. Like, why go through the charade of seriously dating? And suggesting YOU come visit? I’m trying to think of the word for that. Presumptuous? Disingenuous?
I feel like a good, sincere man wouldn’t be trying to date right now, and/or would be totally honest and up front from date #1 that he’s only in town for a little while and just looking to have fun.
Maybe I’m totally wrong…
I don’t think he’s “joking.” Why would he be? He’s just expressing kind of a hope that maybe this could be something. Or, at worst, he is only trying to keep you “sweet” while he’s still there. I’m just pretty sure you do NOT want to spend the next couple months getting all into this and then deal with an intercontinental LDR.
MissDre, I would part ways now. He knows he’s going to, what, the U.K.? You’re not looking for that kind of an LDR at all, are you? And you’re not up for moving wherever they send him, which it sounds like changes pretty often. It sounds like your lifestyles aren’t compatible, which sucks but is a deal breaker. I know, Wendy and Drew, but they were in the same country, a couple hours flight, and one or both of them was able to move to be with the other. Without that critical component, ability to move, I don’t see how it could work.
I don’t think so, KTFran. For short hair I think a mini flatiron is your best bet. You need to have hair that’s longer than the brush is wide, so you can get it in close to your scalp while holding onto the ends for tension. But if they make a version of it that’s not a paddle but more of a narrow / traditional brush, then yes.
