Or if we get married, I can apply for a spouse visa, since he’s settling there and will like apply for PR. My understanding is that he doesn’t need to be a citizen, he just needs to have a valid visa.
@lucia_la he’s just there on a work visa. His visa is valid for 5 years. I haven’t made any decisions yet, but if I do move there, my hope is that I’d be able to keep my Canadian job and work remotely. In which case, I’d just have to leave the UK every 6 months (I can stay up to 6 months at a time with just my passport). I’d be traveling back to Canada often anyway, to visit my family and check in with my work (if I’m able to keep my job).
But yes, if I did have to find a job there, I would have to find a company willing to sponsor me for a work visa.
It’s true, you never do know what they’re thinking. I’ve had guys ghost me after specifically telling me how much they like me.
In other news, last night bf specifically told me that he wants me to move to the UK and that he would support me on his salary while I look for a job. Lots to think about. So I told him we should both think on this a bit and discuss it more while I’m there in person, maybe talk about what this means to both of us and what sort of timeline he’s got in mind.
Copa, she probably wants you to know. She probably gets some kind of kick out of it. Definitely don’t do anything to let her know that it bothers you, or that you’ve even noticed. Just keep on movin’ on…
Do you have another date planned with this guy?
@Kate I’m really interested in what you’re doing with your new job! I specialize in digital advertising strategy, so I know all the ways that Facebook owns people and while it’s a bit creepy, it’s also fascinating and amazing for creating a targeting strategy 🙂 I’m on LinkedIn if you’re ever interested in connecting outside of DW.
Boyfriend just told me he’s taking me to Belfast for a weekend 🙂
Only 27 days til I head back to the UK! I just mailed him a care package of goodies and HOLY SH*T is it ever expensive to send international parcels! Yikes, won’t be doing that again any time soon.
@copa good for you! I have not been successful whatsoever lol. I’m really struggling with preparing meals.
Anyway, I just remembered a meal replacement shake that I actually like so I did that for breakfast this morning and it has definitely helped (so far haha).
I think I need to lose 15 lbs to be at the higher end of my comfortable weight range, although I’d settle for 10.
Oh yeah I forgot to count on that…. getting engaged after 6 weeks is a recipe for disaster (although I’m not sure if Copa was exaggerating to make a point lol).
LMAO yeah, that shit certainly didn’t work for me. Took me 2.5 years of being single, tindering, bumbling, POFing, coffee meets bageling, taking breaks, trying again, taking more breaks, repeat. Meeting my boyfriend was not because of any magical positivity formula, it was just dumb luck.
I read it a few years ago. I don’t remember a lot of it. I do believe to a certain extent that our attitudes, moods and emotions play a roll in the things that happen to us and around us, but I’m not really down with that whole “The Secret” power of positive thinking shit.
I don’t remember if it was Finding Your Half Orange or something else, but I vaguely remember this piece of advice about looking in the mirror and saying to yourself “Today is going to be the day I meet my partner!” and I felt like, 1) that’s inauthentic and 2) that’s just setting yourself up for disappointment.
And this time, don’t unblock him. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking you can be friends or even friendly. 100% zero contact ever.
