How to (successfully) hit on a coworker. - Page 11

Sounds like fun. No doubt the cousin has lived everywhere from Zanzibar to Berkeley Square. But, in the end, bipolar disorder, alcoholism and despair.

My mind can't process this.

Dude, totally a supervillain in the making!

Nothing major has really happened but a few minor updates:

The relationship is going really well at this point.

We confronted the Trumper about his false alias. For some reason he signed up with both account to go to the same event, yet only one of him showed. When presented with this info he went still until you could almost see the message "Abort, Retry, or Fail" appear on his face.

Also, if any of you are struggling to lose weight, you should try having a Transient Ischemic Attack. That has motivated me to lose 10 lbs in less than a month.

NobodyHere · 11-06-2022, 09:18 PM

There's kind of a effort in my meetup group to try to rehabilitate the Trumper into a decent human being. I'm actually kind of inspired by it.

GrantDawg · 11-06-2022, 09:28 PM

If you succeed, you should write a "How To" book. It would sell huge.

Those doctors and their Ivory Tower recommendations can suck it. They probably charge $1000s of dollars just for their opinions.

NobodyHere · 11-23-2022, 11:07 PM

Nah, we haven't scheduled walks due to weather an scheduling conflicts. So basically we haven't gathered.

NobodyHere · 11-23-2022, 11:14 PM

The Trumper used to refer to himself as Captain Blank*. But apparently he demoted himself and this is the reason.

So now it is Mr. Blank

We enjoy our walks, but the weather just makes it uncomfortable to schedule a walk at this time.

There was also one in Texas where several boats sank. Not a metaphor in any way.

If you really wanted to be annoying, you could give him a different title every time you talk to him. "Any checkmates today, Grandmaster Blank", "What's the scoop in the village, Papa Smurf Blank", "started any World Wars, Archduke Blank?"

Ok
The relationship has gone by swimmingly.

However I have yet to tell her that I root for the Detroit Lions.

How do I make her understand that I like to stare into the never-ending-Abyss once in a while and give into despair?

Ksyrup · 12-24-2022, 05:54 PM

Is she into sports at all?

I always imagined being a Detroit sports fan is like have a revolver aimed at your head with one or more chambers loaded.

How do I explain that to a girlfriend?

Definitely don't bring up that analogy, she may be freaked out about self harm.

How about a Dominatrix? You love her but she doesn't care what you think, she teases you, hurts you all the time, and only gives you a win once in a while?

SienaHigh · 12-25-2022, 03:38 AM

OMFG... it's not that hard. clearly she already loves an underdog. just tell her you can't help but root for a try hard hidden gem underdog team.

Flasch186 · 01-28-2023, 09:55 PM

Distant is not the same as mundane… make sure you recognize the difference. Mundane is another phase of a relationship. If you can make it through mundane then you’ve got something.

Yeah, I feel like I've been connecting with her like a 28k modem. She seems disinterested and I don't know how to make her feel otherwise.

I'm thinking that friend-zoning her is the best option for the both of us.

Izulde · 02-04-2023, 10:59 PM

3 months in is about 90 days, which is consistently when things drop past the initial heady phase in multiple arenas (which is why 90 days is often when benefits kick in for jobs).

However, I don’t think that’s the case here. Given it’s February 4th and y’all hooked up in October, this smells like a cuffing season relationship. Expect to get dumped shortly after Valentine’s Day, once cuffing season is over

21C · 02-05-2023, 02:21 AM

Long time ago but I had a steady girlfriend for a few weeks but wasn't feeling it. I eventually called an end to it and it was the best decision ever. I met my future wife not long after that so it was fateful.

Stick it out if you think there is something there. If you don't then use this as a learning experience or a stepping stone to something better.
