You basically take every opportunity to tell everyone here that the way they feel doesn’t matter. That the things they worry about aren’t valid. That we’re all whiney brats, or just trying to find things to bitch about.
It’s one thing to offer genuine, well-intentioned feedback when someone is asking for advice. But it’s seriously not fucking cool to constantly put everyone down.
If you’re so incredibly emotionally evolved to be above all the things that worry us or that we feel we need to talk about, good for you! So glad that you’re able to just not give a fuck about anything, it must be very freeing!
But guess what, not everyone is like that. In fact, most of us here probably aren’t. We participate in this thread because we’re looking to share our stories and process our thoughts and ask questions in a supportive environment. We don’t come here to have you constantly putting us down and calling us whiny bitches.
Agree with Kate. Go out on a third date. Go with the flow. But it’s perfectly acceptable to not feel ready to do something grand and expensive like a broadway play. Keep it casual for now.
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.
I think it can possibly be a problem because unfortunately, a lot of guys have unspoken expectations. They feel that because they “invested” money in a date, she owes them another date or she owes them sex. It can create an awkward dynamic when you still don’t know someone well. I think accepting pricey gifts or letting him pay for pricey experiences is better left to when know you want to be exclusive with someone.
That being said, I don’t think there’s any issue at all with allowing a guy to pay for your date in general.
@Cleopatra_30 I am not legally allowed to work out there, nor am I allowed access to public funds (health care, etc). I’ve spoken with an immigration consultant and I’m not currently eligible for a work visa. The joys of moving to a new country!
Thanks Veritek 🙂
@hfantods we met on Tinder! He’s actually NOT Canadian… He’s from an entirely different country altogether. However, he was staying with family in a nearby city while waiting to find out where his work was going to send him and we matched while he was in my town for a meeting.
We decided to continue getting to know each other even though he had no idea where he might end up at the time. But things were really great so, when he got the UK offer, he asked me to come visit him. And I did, and we’ve been together close to 2 years now 🙂
Damn, time flies!
Thanks guys! And congrats Lucia on your new kitten!!
Wendy, I have you and BGM to thank in part 🙂 You both told me to go for it and get to know this guy, even though I knew he was moving away.
I’m nervous to move overseas, but really excited to close the distance and take on this new adventure with my partner!
I’m not shipping anything… I looked into it but it’s WAY too expensive. Just bringing two suitcases of clothes / personal items plus my cats.
I’m currently starting on all of the paperwork to bring my kitties with me. Really nervous because I found out that the UK requires all animals to enter the country as air cargo, so my girls have to travel in the baggage compartment. I know tons of animals travel this way every year but it’s still scary.
Well, it’s a done deal! I sold my house and I gave notice at work yesterday! I’m moving to the UK in August 🙂
