You both are so cute! I always liked Mickey ears but never got any. I went to Disneyland twice as a kid and once as a teen, and then once in college. It’s been a loooong time…
Dude, if MoV’s sister is this… demanding/high strung (I’m searching for the right word), I can only imagine how she’ll be when she’s actually planning the wedding and you have bridesmaid duties. 😛
I once dated a guy who was very very into Disney. I had no idea there were people like him out there. His whole house was decorated in Disney stuff. Tasteful, but still, all Disney themed. He even contributed to some podcast about Disney. And I found out later that he had a fiance, whom he had split with only a few months prior to my meeting him, and they were all set to get married at Disneyland. Apparently it is totally a thing. I had no idea. (Bullet dodged there I think!)
Veritek, something similar to this happened to me, years ago. This guy I had gone out with one time, after incessant and escalating harassing and me telling him to leave me alone, etc, ended up getting into my apartment building and came to my door one day. He even forced the door open with his foot when I tried to shut it on him. I went to the police after that, and they said that because he hadn’t done or said anything threatening, I couldn’t get a restraining order against him. However I could file a police report, so that all of the evidence and my story was recorded officially and was on file in case anything escalated from there.
Luckily I never heard from the guy again. But I would look into filing a report. It’ll at least get it in the hands of the cops and hopefully you’ll never need to follow up on it. This is super freaky regardless and I hope he never returns!!
This is an interesting topic!
I remember when I was younger and was working a good job but just making ends meet due to stupid-high cost of living where I live. I remember going on dates with various guys, usually in tech tbh, and SO many of them were so… clueless. Like, they didn’t understand why I didn’t go on vacations or go snowboarding all the time, or why I cooked so much/didn’t eat out all the time. I was just getting by and paying my bills and they didn’t even know how much money was in their bank account. (I knew how much I had, down to the change.) It was very off-putting.My boyfriend and I found out each other’s pay but it wasn’t in a serious conversation or anything. He makes twice what I make (almost exactly!) and he thinks it’s crazy because he thinks I work harder at my job than he does at his. Although his job actually could be dangerous (elevator mechanic) vs. my office job. Anyway, he usually pays for dinners when they are more expensive, and I always get breakfast/lunch and dinners here and there. If we do something like a spa day, he pays for both of us and I’ll buy dinner. We went on a 5 day vacation and he paid for the hotel and I paid for the plane tickets and rental car. He also owns his house, a total fixer upper, so he’s also focusing on spending/saving for repairs and such, and he knows I have debt I’m working on paying off, so we’re not doing anything too lavish.
Also, oooh Veritek! 😀
Did someone call my name? Haha.
OMG, I went on so many terrible dates in 2015-2016. So many dates that I thought had promise and then… didn’t. I learned a lot in that time, that’s for sure.
When I click on the thread, it always takes me to the top of the very first page!
@shakeourtree, I’m so sorry for your loss.
I know *exactly* what you mean. I once dated a neighbor (like 10 years ago, it did not end well either) and it went exactly like you describe! Except we met at 4am outside my building when the fire alarm went off. 😛
But yeah. I, for one, get what you mean!
Yay, Copa!!! I’ve been reading along and I’m so glad this guy is so nice and genuine! I also think it’s a good sign you’re not feeling that infatuation. I, too, took some time with my bf (who I met on Tinder of all places) to see how I felt about him. I knew there was something I liked about him, and figured that was enough to keep seeing him. And it just grew from there. As long as you are enjoying your time with him, just see where it goes!
Also, Ktfran, that’s really cute about the gummy sharks!
Yay Missd!! Congrats! That is super exciting!
And Ollie sounds adorable!! I love kitty cuddles!
This reminded me of when I was in my early-mid 20’s and had a sort of fling with one of my neighbors down the hall. He was a DJ as a side thing and invited me to some of his shows at local clubs (and I went and brought friends along so it wasn’t weird) and he would flirt with me, even though he supposedly had a girlfriend, until he announced to me that they had broken up. Then, we finally hooked up a few times and, after I had to ask, he told me he wasn’t looking for anything serious and I pretended to be fine with that. I realized he was actually really obnoxious once I got to know him and he stopped calling but I would still run into him at really awkward times (like taking out my trash or carrying a bunch of bags or being sweaty from the gym) and it was just really bad for awhile. And then he got a new girlfriend and sublet his place to move in with her and that was that, thank god.
All that is to say, I feel for you, and don’t beat yourself up too badly. But definitely unfollow/block him.
I know I don’t comment often but I have to say- Copa, *good for you* for confronting him (neighbor). You were more than nice about it, quite frankly. What an ass.
Also, WTF bumble dude. Seriously what is up with these guys?!? I’m pissed on your behalf!
Cleopatra, that is SO cool you’re going to PEI – the Anne of Green Gables nerd in me is very jealous. 🙂
Copa, sounds good- next time for sure!
MissD, have fun in the UK with your bf!!
I’m also working on paying off my debt- my credit card will be paid off by the end of this year, god willing. After that, I’ll pay off my car. And then go on a nice, long, vacation!
