Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Met one of my friend's friends earlier today and seeing him, I get the eye thing ("ooh he has some pretty eyes")that my coworker has with guys. I don't know who I am anymore, but one of them had nice eyes. Dang her!

Chicks dig the guy's with the dreamy eyes. Just make sure he's more than just dreamy eyes and you'll be just fine...

That's always a good place to start. I think that's probably a good idea.

I mean, I can easily take the Mi Mix 2 for an extended period. It's not that I'm without choices. I wouldn't mind the G7 but I'd need to see it in hand. Plus, I like the idea of how the ported Pixel camera app for the V30 supports the wide angle lens...

I would certainly try the Key 2 and the G7 if this was the old days. Eh, I got enough time to knock about and figure something out.

I think I'm too chicken to actually consider doing that with this one (this guy is a good friend of my friend). My other friend, who I'm also going to the game with tomorrow, keeps saying that he'll like to set me up with one of his friends and I always say no to that. He's a cool guy but I feel some kind of way about doing that, because I know what I need and expect with a possible partner isn't normal for most people.

I don't know if guys do it with one another but I wouldn't ever want to be the one that a friend's friend goes back to him and say, "why didn't you tell me this about her?" and not in a good way.

Hmm, that's also an idea. That is true that you have time, and also patience too, which helps!

You won't go wrong if you just be you.

So this is what draining the swamp is supposed to look like, right????
On a serious note, I have never been more embarrassed, confused, and disappointed by the state of affairs here in the States. I'm truly dumbfounded.

Actually it's going to get worse before it gets any better. And all the talk of this Blue wave but I am not that convinced. The majority is not going to become a minority with a whimper.

Oh and another thing I have been noticing.
Lol nothing matters GIF is quite good at describing the current administration shenanigans.

That's true, but it's easier to do the process of elimination the practical way, rather than the high expectation come up with the strong letdown, since I have strong things that I will not compromise on. (I'm aware people have these things too but I have a unique combo, so it makes sense to be a realist about it.)

An example I can give is with a girl I follow on YouTube. She's trans and poly-amorous and those are her big things. She personally says that she only deals with guys who like trans girls and she might give a chance to guys who aren't also poly, but they have to accept that she is. Her experiences are interesting (she gets a lot of dates, like she's the kind of girl who used to go on dates for fun and to eat free meals) and while those aren't mine, I can relate on having things that you cannot ignore.

If you know what you want, and are working on yourself to be a better you, then things will be fine. The life course is ideally supposed to be about learning and growing. There's a lot of fluff out there...lots of wolves disguised in all sorts of non threatening things. There's lots of badly scarred nice people, there's lots of people like yourself too.

You won't know what's out there until you're out there too. You shouldn't be committed to anything you don't feel comfortable doing.

Everyone's life course is different. The smart folks figure out how to pull what works for them from others around them and make their own informed opinions.

You're so right. I am trying to work to be a better human, little by little. Ugh your point about the wolves being disguised is so true, so I could never assume with anyone.

I'll admit that I step in and out with this, so I don't always know. I do wonder how I could date someone with being in school part-time and working full time but at the same time, this is my life for the next 2 years so I feel like I should at least try anyway but not enough to exhaust me.

Everything you said is so true though.

People make time for what they think is important.

I dated the GF, commuted full time between work, school and her. I thought it was worth it, so I did it. Some people date long distance, international even. Some people are married with young children and travel alot for work (*cough*99*cough*).

Unfortunately, being an adult means you've got to juggle multiple things simultaneously as best as you can.

Looks like it went quiet here. Maybe sometimes that's not a bad thing.

True.

Well I was out at the game with my friends and it was awesome!! It's amazing to go to a baseball game with people who are into and actually know the game and are also fans of the teams playing. Best game experience ever, even though we lost.

Let's also just say that the level of my fandom has finally been laid to rest...

Wow that's a lot! I do wonder how you did that, but it must have worked somehow because you finished your Masters and you are still with her, so nothing (that I know of course) seemed to fall apart.

That is true.

It's funny that you say this though because I had an interesting conversation with my friend's girlfriend about this. She's doing her PhD in Immunology and something else I can't recall right now. She just completed her first year and I was telling her how I am amazed with her time management to be able to be working, school, and labs AND see her bf (my friend). She was telling me her own experience and told me to just try out the apps (she suggested one to me, the one that they actually met on), but don't put too much into it if you feel like you can't. We were really able to relate to that, so I guess more effort should happen. I'll look into it probably.

Don't force what you're not interested in for the sake of "keeping up with the Joneses."

As I say a lot, you are right.
At this point, I wouldn't consider being with someone just to be with them. That's a waste of my time but I am interested in trying for what I'll like my future to be. We talked about that too as well about not having an issue with being single but considering things that she wanted in her future (marriage and kids), she had to put herself out there. Additionally, we feel the same about dating people in the program and at work, which is a no, because we value separation...so where else?

The thing that makes it interesting for me is that I'll be in school for the next 2 years, which is a while considering that I was originally saying that I'll wait to be done to really do it. After I hit the midterm period of my first semester, I changed my mind on that a bit since I have seen how I can handle the work and school things. At the least, it doesn't hurt to begin the process.

Well, good luck. It's a different sort of balancing act being a woman as the social expectations are different - unfortunately.
