Hey, I've made two friends through online dating in the past two years.
I get that the ruling class intends to keep it complicated (I got banned from Facebook dating because I mentioned cocaine in a status). But going to places and meeting people is at least a step.
Edit: also, exploit limerance? I'm unsure how that would work. I'm oblivious to those kind of things and sort of worried now.
With one of my current friends, it started out with romantic intentions for both of us. If I take everything I have been told as honest truth, it's not off the table for her, and I can say it's not off the table for me.
I'm not sure I even understand what romance is. Is it just adding sex to a friendship?
I desire the emotional intimacy. I desire intellectual intimacy. So long as I have that, physical intimacy can wait until I find someone who is ready for that (if I'm even ready myself).
I've gone over two and a half years since I had sex with my now ex wife. I'm in no rush. I saw where that got me.
You might be reading too much into that. The article stated Mexico's naval personnel removed them as the personnel acted on the information they had. I would highly doubt they were going to go to great lengths to confirm the exact coordinates of the boarder.
Do I think that's what the Americans were trying to do? Yes. But Mexico didn't waffle it.
Oh, there's a lot of ways to beat Nazis without bullets to the head. Bullets to major organs and vessels will do it. Fire is pretty effective, more so if you use thermite (I fucking love thermite). Carbon monoxide, compressed nitrogen, chlorine gas.
Rapid percussive force. Blood loss in general. A baseball bat. Hell the katana you've been saving for situations like this. Bows. Not crossbows, interestingly.
Yeah. Nazis are just squishy monsters with a crunchy interior.
I have experienced it apparently. I don't recommend it. How did I get out of it? The fuck if I know. Distance? Time? Severe and Jarring life stressors unrelated to it?
I want to add that some people are completely unaware that they are being creepy. Others are entirely aware, and I don't understand how they dont realize they're gonna get got one day.
You are a creep if:
You like to get closer than you realistically should. Ask to close the distance if you were originally sitting apart, then let the other person get comfortable. If they adjust their distance, don't get any fucking closer than that.
There are a lot of things you might want to say sober, but don't. Probably a good idea to pay attention to these things if you have liquor in your system and notice when you no longer have control over that. If you don't notice, maybe it's better not to drink and rethink your life.
Don't fucking grab, sniff, tickle, or seductively eye the other person. Just don't. Grow up.
Don't go diving through their social media like you need to learn all about them before you meet. Chances are they know exactly what is public, and they intend that public information to be a different person than they really are.
If you don't know something about them, ask. If they don't give you an answer, stop fucking asking. God. They don't want to tell you.
If it involves sex, and you're in public, don't talk about it. That's creepy.
If you ever receive a inconclusive answer, that's a hint to back the fuck off that discussion.
There's too much to list, but those are like a bunch I've frequently seen.
Fuck
My
Life
Edit: that is exactly what happened to me as a teen. And might be happening to me now. Goddamnit.
