I have a really crazy scenario with a girl from work. She was in a relationship when we met. Then she broke up and we got into some serious flirting. I tried to get her to come out with me, but she kept saying that she needed to get home to her daughter after work, & weekends were tied taking care of family. So we kept flirting. One day I got pissed as I found out she was now in a relationship on Facebook. She told me that it's a guy she was in a relationship with before, who was around fixing cars at her place, for her housemate, so they didn't need to date, to get to know each other. I've ordered that we both tone the flirting down, which is happening. And she was flirting heavy at the start of their relationship. Since then, we get along, but now she's been promoted, and guess who's now my boss? Haha! Yep, she is. Now we have to interact a lot more, everyday. A long story, but we're both in a position where it would be hard to get another job, & we don't want to either. I go round in circles. Sometimes I feel deeply in love and get hurt, sometimes I'm doing fine. I am doing stuff in my life. I am also dating other girls, not just sitting there. It's a mad world. Any positive ideas are welcome. @thejoshspeaks love your positive vibes about a tough subject, that's a help in itself. Thanks.

IMO it's possible to stay friends it just takes a few things to get used too

Totally agree, the hardest part is being able to put your feelings aside and to focus on maintaining the friendship part of your interactions. If you can do that then I think its totally achievable.

Great advice. One of my biggest issues is impatience. I want the boxes checked quick so I can decide if I want to stay in it or get out of it. I feel more pressure now esp since I'm getting older. I feel pressured to find that person to check boxes faster.

When he said "boxes" he meant "standards" but he forgot what if those boxes are red flags and she ticks even just one of them, it's still a huge red flag and just one can make a huge difference😅
@TheJoshSpeaks10 сағат бұрын
Boxes and standards could be synonymous. Looking for good qualities doesn't mean you're not also filtering out bad qualities though. A person not meeting one standard might be or might not be a reason to disqualify them though. Let's say for example you are religious and wants a partner who is also religious. If you hit it off with someone that ends up being agnostic, that might be a deal breaker or a red flag for you. For other people, it might not be.

You literally put into words what I've been feeling for the past months... "How would they know that if you guys became friends again you would honestly JUST be their friend" Unfortunately I was the one who rejected someone and not just anyone, he was one of my closest friends and ever since he confessed his feelings and I rejected him everything fell apart. I haven't talked to him other than 2 times because this sentence describes what I've been thinking ever since. He says that he would be ok being friends but I can't stop questioning if it would actually be true. I know I shouldn't be avoiding him but I just don't know how to handle any of this at all.

I know with me it depends on the type of smile. I don't smile much so if you get a sustained smile out of me, there's a 99.5% chance I like you, the smile I have when I'm into a guy is what I call a daydreamy smile, where I forget to swallow my saliva and eventually develop a cute little lisp (actually I sound like Sid the Sloth when that happens, but let's pretend it's cute), the other kind of smile, the excited smile is when I'm so happy about something I'm smiling or we're talking about a topic I like. But as I said, I'm not much of a smiler so another way to know I'm into you is if I make a lot of eye contact with you and if I flip quickly between talking up a hurricane and just saying "yeah" over and over again. And if I forget to swallow my saliva for a few minutes. Maybe the reason I'm still single is the saliva thing, haha. Or maybe it's the fact I live in overalls and am 5'1", I've been told I look cute in the way a little kid or a puppy is.

@TheJoshSpeaks2 күн бұрын
I would agree with you there. College is ok for short term dating but realistically any period where you are in school is temporary. When you graduate you are opening up yourself to the world around you which puts pressure on college couples trying to maintain what they had in a more contained environment prior.

I always had a feeling deep down that there was way more to it than confidence. There is such a thing as OVERconfidence, such as "If I say/do X to 100 people, 98 of them may turn me down, but 2 just might click with me." Well, most who try won't even get ONE! Most of it is factors beyond the person's control, that no amount of confidence can change.

Sometimes dating somebody the same age isn’t an option Like most of the times guys/girls whoever your attracted to are often immature and childish when your younger And when your younger sometimes you’d rather just wanna be with somebody who’s more mature then being a complete mess When your a younger person like 18-19 going in your 20s you’d rather be with somebody older because most guys/girls sometimes aren’t mature enough as you want them to be or you just fall for people who’s older because your so easy to fall in love and that’s ok I don’t like dating guys younger because they don’t fully respect woman and can’t respect me as a person and aren’t fully mature enough for me to be with and I tend to fall just for whoever regardless the age like 20-30 for me it’s just the appeal and the attraction and that they have manners

Simp behavior right here. She was just making that excuse because she didn’t expect you to fit her crazy criteria. However, if it wasn’t an excuse, that’s even worse, it was an ick. If it was an ick, that’s beyond major red flag 🚩. That shows she wants to dictate your life, from the way you dress to the way you conduct yourself. Also, I saw in the comments, why hang out with her after that? You were just validating her behavior.
@TheJoshSpeaks3 күн бұрын
I'm not sure exactly how this is simp behavior. I don't buckle under a little criticism, nor do I let my ego lead me to make brash decisions to avoid feeling hurt. I would agree that it was an ick for her, but it clearly wasn't enough for her to be turned off from the idea of hanging out with me again. Sometimes, you do something that turns someone off. Granted, her way of handling it was a little brash, but then again, that's what negging is all about.

This feels very slanted toward anti-man. Claiming the guy was ‘obsessed’ and ‘intimidated’ by her body count just makes him look like a petty human. You leave out key details. Was there relationship monogamous? Was she just increasing her body count and he felt to do the same? Body count is a major red flag for me that shows attention seeking behavior, narcissism, toxic femininity, and lack of trust.
@TheJoshSpeaks3 күн бұрын
Hey, this short is part of a longer video on the topic but from what I remember they were monogamous. He didn't want to settle down though because he felt like he wasn't experienced enough compared to her. She wanted to be exclusive but was open to the idea of him trying to get with other girls if it was a matter of him feeling like he needed to get it out of his system. You mentioned that body count is a sign of toxic femininity. Do you think that men who pursue a high body count are also demonstrating toxic femininity? Or toxic masculinity? Or do you come up with some weird reason to hold a double standard here? I don't think I said anything that was anti-man though. Men can be insecure as can women. Identifying how and when a men is being insecure is not anti-man.

To the other kids commenting that they’re scared of a new school: I was too! I had to switch multiple times throughout grade school, middle school, and high school. But each time, I grew a bit more. Developed more courage, and made great friends along the way. The best advice I can give is this: be kind, and you’ll attract kind people. Good luck everyone!

Personal experience and some insights. Most of them are broke and broken people. It's not passion driving them into that business, it's the incapability to make it elsewhere. Many of them have deep rooted trauma to battle, suffer from depression and struggle with trust issues and relations to people since childhood. Then the business itself. They have to attend hundreds of men with all depravities imaginable, the guys tempt them with money, pursue for meet ups and shower them with (shallow) validation all day long. I don't say that's true for all of them, but I would say for the majority of them. It's the opposite of what a trustful and empathic relationship requires. They all can change though, but that takes too much work for many, facing their past and forging out a future of self-love and self-respect. I know many will jump me for saying this, claiming they only do it for fun or to express their sexuality. We all are very good at lying to ourselves.
