Gee idk, maybe because the person he's actually talking to isn't emotionally invested in their relationship? The dude can always break it off with her gently in the future as long as she doesn't know he doesn't really want to be her friend (IF that's the case)

Idk what you're even saying here

He wasn't even venting to the girl.

purposefully acting deceitfully to get something they want and then get angry they didn't get it

I miss when this was a fun topic about sharing funny pictures of guys texting girls in a cringey way

No, it's just normal and reasonable to interact with the opposite sex for the sole purpose of sex.

wouldn't be entertained if the roles were reversed

The blue is demanding that he care about her

How much of a doormat simp can you guys be lmao

The entire universe has exploded and imploded twenty times

No. I had done research into the Mayans for a 6th grade project. I knew the apocalypse stuff was a misunderstanding of ignorant people. The Mayans never claimed the world was going to end. At best maybe some big disaster could have happened but people would survive.

Mayans believed in different eras of time. 2012 was supposed to be the end of an era not the entire world

2038 may be an actual situation.

The blue text is the one who's the dick here tbh

I thought the world was ending in 2016. My life basically did, terrible year for me.

I dont like looking at bare feet

Prove it didnt

my cousin lives in Guatemala. On that day, he went to a Mayan site, expecting the extraterrestials to land their spaceship

he was disappointed that day

I cry evry tiem

Anyways makes me irrationally angry.

to getting divorced to being kind of a man whore

BTW, sorry about your 6 year relationship ending a few months ago. May I ask what happened? You doing okay? You ever thought about actively trying to date now? :)

This is the major disconnect I can't fathom. Most people are chatting with multiple people if they are actively trying to date. That phrase is important, as if someone is just sitting around and suddenly they are interested in someone, then sure it would be weird to start suddenly chatting up others as well. But if actively trying to date, then likely you have been chatting with lots of people, which is normal.

The thing is that the majority of people under a certain age (40 maybe?) have used dating apps at some point, so that is mainstream now. I would also argue it isn't that different than someone who is going out to bars and such and trying to find someone.

Your comment about someone you already know in person is different and if that is your experience, then I see why you feel differently. I had been friends with my now fiance for 3 years prior to dating. After my last relationship ended, we kinda reconnected platonically, but then I asked her over to finish watching Schitt's Creek together (we both were near done), and it ended up turning into a date. I had been chatting with two other women at that point, but I immediately stopped, because it felt disrespectful to my friend / potential girlfriend.

I have to ask, but have you dated much?

Ever since my divorce, I have dated quite a bit. Everytime I decided to make things exclusive with someone after a couple dates (this happened like 5 times), they were shocked I was talking about exclusivity so fast. Now, they all said "yes" but it was unexpected. This is how it works, like it or not.

And I seriously doubt you know how your friends feel about it. Doubt you have discussed it.

If you have and phrased it as "dating multiple people" you might have not realized the distinction that I (and likely they) are making.

Somehow I doubt you actually know that

Flirting, chatting, first dates are looking for compatibility. There are no promises, there are no commitments. Nothing wrong with casting a wide net.

This is how almost everyone does it, likely including your female friends.

There is nothing disrespectful about any of this.

Seeing a guy", as in a first date? No, I am not presumptuous. You are simply wrong.

Would they be against actually dating a guy chatting up other women? Sure, that seems likely.

You are having a hard time understanding the difference.

Yeah, all of us (minus one) know this

Once again, you are in the minority on this one. Cool if you want to behave that way, but know that any woman you are interested in is probably chatting with multiple guys. So your judgment is just that, judgmental.

I think our views on dating differ. Simply chatting or going on a first date isn't dating someone.

evreything

literally everything

You seem to think you know me and you seem to have something out for me which is not based on the reality of who I am at all.

I am exceedingly anti cheating and I am also all about honesty.

if you're not involved with either, then no,

t's not. you are seeming pretty cringe right now, lol.

My birthday was pretty shittt

He literally stopped texting one woman to pine after another.

He never went on a date with either. That is not "involved with romantically".

Even going on a date or two with multiple people is completely normal and almost everyone says there is nothing wrong with that.

I am not talking about sex, I am not talking about a committed relationship, I am not talking about cheating or lying or deceitfulness.

You just sound kinda clueless tbh

Seriously? You object to that?

Why would you pursue one person with blinders for everyone else?

Reread what he wrote and he clearly screwed up by suddenly ignoring one person in favor of another.

I am not saying to have sex with both of them.

The day my cat died. Though the time since has felt like one long day that won't end.

Never put all your eggs in one basket. You can go after both at the same time

That is a reuse of that video.

It's not as often used anymore, but movies and TV shows used to do that fairly frequently. I usually saw it more with child actors than adults though.

No, I'd like to live somewhere tropical where it's hot most of the time
