The closest thing to flirting we use is maybe a \"(;\". \n\nThe first time we talked on the phone/face timed we talked for over 3 hours. Talking to him comes so naturally. I am really at ease and comfortable with him. We just recently last week went on our first date. We went to dinner then hung out. I had a lot of fun. I felt like I was hanging with a great friend...and that's the problem. \n\nI like him, I think he's cute, but I don't feel the kind of attraction where I want to be involved romantically. There's no spark. I don't think about kissing him and I feel pretty neutral on the idea of kissing him. I think he likes me to the point of wanting to date. \n\nHow do I explain to him that yes I love talking and hanging out and I do think you're cute but I don't want to involved romantically right now? This has happened before to me and a few months later I actually started liking the guy romantically. So who knows maybe in the future I will feel different. He's such a nice guy I really want to let him down easy. \n\nI don't know if I should just say hey right now I am not interested in anything serious but that doesn't mean we can't still talk and hang because maybe down the line I will feel differently or if I should be blunt and say I like you but just as a friend and that maybe the best course of action is to not talk as much. I don't want to give him false hope and I'm worried that by saying \"maybe\" in the future my feelings will change will do just that. I'm worried that if we just stay on the same path, talking the same amount, etc...that he is just going to be \"waiting\" for my feelings to come around. I'm worried they never will and then he will feel basically lead on. Any advice would be appreciated.", "role": "user" } ]

I get to do what I love, in a killer place, but I don't really make a lot of money considering the field I'm in. I work in a non-profit museum institution doing video production, and AV technical support as a secondary element to the job. My salary is barely ok for an entry level position in my field (~30K), even though the work I've been doing up until this point is quite beyond entry level imo, but that's neither here nor there. \n\nMy predicament is that my boss is taking a job elsewhere, his title is manager of AV, and they want me to take his job, but keep the creative responsibilities I have now. While I agree I do want to keep making creative videos, I'm weary that they're going to try and dump his work load (relatively little in comparison) on top of mine with a minimal raise. There is very much a rank non-profit culture here, very top heavy, and upward mobility is notoriously difficult (just as a caveat to anyone who might understand the particulars). \n\nAnd so my question is, how do I figure out in a cordial and non-confrontational way how much is fair for them to offer me for the promotion with additional responsibilities? I realize I could just ask my current boss how much he's making but that doesn't seem proper or legit, plus he's been here for 20 years so they can always pull the seniority card.

I was 16 and my family went to a new church for a change, and on our first day there I saw her. She was tall, fit, blonde hair, bluest eyes, amazing smile and the sweetest person. Eventually I found out she was the pastor's daughter. \n\nFast forward a little, we started attending the church regularly. I was working in my church's nursery. I've always been great with kids and loved taking care of them. One day while working my boss said that we have a new volunteer. It was her, \"Jane.\" \n\nAt this point in my life, I was 16 years old, 5' 4\", looked 12, and weighed maybe 120lbs. I had zero confidence. So, given the fact that I thought I was pathetic and that she was this goddess I never asked her out. I talked to her, but never made a move. \n\nFast forward some more. Our church now is a multi-site church. This means we are the same church with multiple pastors in 2 different locations. I have since been attending the new site because it is closer. I went to school and graduated in Mechanical Engineering and have a fantastic job designing military aircraft components. I am 5' 10\", 185lbs, athletic and very built and now know I'm actually quite attractive. I've had 2 serious relationships since this time and dated a lot but I have always thought she was this incredible angel and that has never really gone away. After switching to the new site (I was 18), I haven't seen her except when I see her tagged by mutual friends on facebook and good god (oh know I used the Lord's name in vain) does she look incredible. \n\nI would love to go up to her and ask her out, but I don't know if I should make an attempt of some sort of contact first (i.e. facebook). Would love some sort of insight. Appreciate it!", "role": "user" } ]

In September of last year my house was flooded. It was obviously a stressful time for my wife and me. We had to stay with her parents while we sorted out our mess of a house. Long story short between gutting our old house, selling it, buying a new one, and living with her parents and eating her mom's cooking and tons of restaurant meals I packed on some extra gut weight.\n\nThose pictures show where I was when we moved into the new house and where I am now. I started running seriously around May. I have been gradually increasing my mileage since then to about 80 miles a month with an average of 20 a week. I would like to keep bumping that up but it seems like the weight loss I am experiencing is taking from places I would rather not lose. My chest, shoulders and arms are getting to be a little skeletorish for my liking and when I run into people I haven't seen for a while they ask if I have been sick.\n\nSo if you are still reading the question I have for you all is if you have any recommendations for a good weight training plan to complement my running that would help add back a little bulk? Also as far as diet goes should I be increasing my caloric intake? I get around 2000 a day from nuts, lunch meat, pastas, and chicken or pork for supper. Obviously I also eat other things but those are my normal everyday foods. As far as supplements go I have a protein shake after any run over 6 miles for recovery. \n\nI have an Olympic sized weight bench and pull up bar along with various weight dumbbells. So any recommendations?", "role": "user" } ]

I said yes because I know they're really stressed about all this and I wanted to help in any way I could. I was kind of worried that I might get in trouble for it, but decided to trust her. She's asked me to take the money out in lots of €500 euro multiple times a week, so that she can pay the guys who are working on the house.\n\nI know this all sounds very dodgy, but I'm certain this money hasn't come from drugs, robberies, etc. I know that my mom used my name/Personal Public Service Number to pay \"me\" for \"hours that I worked\" in their shop, so I think that's probably where the money came from (probably not much better in the eyes of the law).\nAm I at risk of getting in trouble here?

She seems to be able to snag IT positions fairly easily (especially internal desktop support), this is because HR departments seem to go all wobbly in the knees when they see a women in IT, but when she gets into the job, no one respects her as IT is, lets be honest, dominated by neck-beards and people who just like hearing the sound of their own voice. Any ideas she comes up with are often regarded as bad ideas initially, but after a week or so, a guy draws the same conclusion and its the greatest idea in the world without any credit to her.\n\nCurrently, she's in a low-pay customer service position, not her ideal job. We would move to another city, but I've found a very good job that's helping to solidify my career that I can't give up (I also work in IT, and I can't believe the crap she has put up with as I definitely don't notice the same in any recent jobs I've held).\n\nSo, she's expressed an interest in working from home, obviously these kind of jobs won't be posted on a local job site, is there a resource out there that actually guides you to from working from home?

Since finding out this truth which was eventually admitted by my ex I tend to feel very insecure about my relationship (although there is no reason for it).

Our rent cost us $650, our cell phones cost $70, and utilities usually cost about $70 (with internet). We still have to pay for gas and food. We've been sent to collections because of my medical bills and a credit card (which we haven't been using for nearly 3 years). We still have 7 months on our lease, and can't ask for any money from family, because I have already tapped them out. \n\nPlease, if anyone has any legitimate advice (no \"just be more careful with your money\" advice, please), I would love to hear from you.

It's not a physiological thing, as we do everything else, but I am absolutely terrified of pregnancy.

I would never have unprotected sex, and if I did have sex, I'd wear a condom (she's on the pill).

I will have sex one day, but I think I should be ready to be a father, should that happen, when I do have sex. My GF knew about how I felt about sex from basically the beginning of our relationship and said it wasn't a huge problem and that we could work around it. She now says it's a problem and that we need to talk about it and 'work towards it'. I know it's a completely reasonable idea, but deep down I know I'm not gonna change my mind, and I'm scared she's gonna leave me because of that. What should I do? Do I tell her outright that I just won't change my mind? Or do I say \"we can work towards it\" even though I know it probably won't change? I love her and don't want to lose her.

So part of this does come from a health standpoint.\n\nHowever some of it is also, admittedly, my own preferences. I like thicker guys over thinner ones - I'm not expecting him to get ripped or anything, hell I'd prefer a little chub on him over that. I'm kinda fat myself, not grossly overweight but still pretty tubby, and when I want to do anything intimate - like sitting on his lap or something - I feel like I'm going to break him, or that I'm crushing him - which I get is my own insecurity, but I don't think its helped by his weight. He's really bony too - sometimes it genuinely hurts to hug him properly or have sex because his hipbones jut out a lot and hit my thighs.\n\nI just don't know how to approach this topic without coming off like an ass, because I know how shitty it is when people comment on your weight. And especially because its fifty percent me being worried about his health and fifty percent about my actual attraction towards him.

As far as my day to day responsibilities go, they are boring and largely not enjoyable. But I thought \"hey I'm lucky to have a good job\" and resigned myself to the fact that this is where my life has taken me and embraced the favorable career path in front of me. It takes up most of my time, which has caused me to mostly stop writing altogether. \n\nThen the other day, I got a phone call out of the blue from the Managing Editor of my local newspaper, asking if I'd like to interview for a staff writer position. I said yes, and have the interview tomorrow. It is not a glamorous position, but it does get me back into journalism and would give me the opportunity to focus on nothing but writing for the first time in my life. This brings us to the dilemma.\n\nI know that the staff writer position would likely pay significantly less than I'm currently making, so if I do get an offer, I will have to choose between a comfortable and promising career doing something I don't actually enjoy and taking a shot at my life-long dream while making very little money.\n\nI'm not looking for anyone to make my decision here, just looking for additional opinions as I way the pros and cons.

We talk a lot, have a ton in common, and generally have a really great time when we're together.

I also try to keep in touch with her all the time, exchanging texts when I'm at work or she's in class, and talking online when we're both at home.\n\nI feel like I'm being immature, or in this case very 'clingy', and normally I play piano or games or just browse Reddit/Youtube when I'm bored and not doing anything, but ever since I met her and things started getting somewhat serious, I can't focus on anything else other than \"oh shit what did i do why doesn't she want to talk to me now\". Little pangs of jealousy kick in when she's doing something I can't do with her, but I know it's absolutely ridiculous to expect her attention constantly.\n\nI want to get this feeling out of my system before it starts becoming a serious problem.

Please dont tell me in the comments what an asshole I am or how badly i treated her i know this very much.\n\nOur relationship started well and we were pretty happy together. About six months in the relationshipi cheated on her two times with one of her friends (not very close). I texted with this girl throuought the 2 years a few times mostly sexual things. I didnt tell my GF and 3 month ago about 2 years in the relationship it all came out. I continued to lie to her and only told her bits and bits and wasnt ever honest to her.\n\n When she found out she broke up immedieatly but couldnt let go so we „came back together“ more or less after 3 or 4 days. But at that point she still didnt know everything e.g. the writing things and one of the major things, that i texted the girl she should come over on the day of the first breakup. So she broke up with me again. Only at this point i told her everything. After a little bit silence (one week or something) we came back together again, this time for 2 months. We even had a vacation at the sea. But then on the day she finished school she broke up with me again because she said she cant forgive me and she cant forget it.\n\n She isnt angry anymore but just cant do it anymore. Now two weeks ago, about one week after the 2nd breakup we spend the whole week together, e.g. at the lake or in the park or at home and texting all the time but at Sunday last week she suddenly stopped texting for three days and tells me on Wednesday its over again. Fort he 2 years weve been together the only thing she is talking about is that she wants to move away for university as soon as possible. This is in approx 2 months.

Did my work out; leg press, leg curls, leg extensions, calf raises, etc. As I was walking back to the locker room, I saw a group of females coming through. Must be the girls' volleyball team. I went to grab my stuff to go shower; towel, body wash, and shampoo, and before I realized it, I locked my locker with my keys in them. It didn't process until I turned on the water. Now here I am, luckily with a towel, realizing I forgot my keys so I decided to go to the front desk. Luckily for me, our gym was small so the front wasn't too far. Unluckily, the girls' volleyball team was still waiting in the halls as the gymnasium was being set up. I went to ask if they would cut my lock for me, and thinking my towel was wrapped tightly enough, it broke loose...in front of probably 12 or 15 girls, and a few other pass byers...I booked it straight back into the change room, and just sat there and let everything process slowly. The guy at the front couldn't stop laughing, said he felt so bad for me and that all the girls are laughing as well...\n\nAll I can hope for is that no one else knew me, and everything will just disappear and nothing ever happened.
