    Hi love thread, check out what I got my wife for her birthday:

    61dng2ro9bam.jpg

    I picked her up and carried her over the threshold of the garage to show her this! I told her if she wanted cut grass she would have to do it herself! True story.
    She was delighted. She never liked how I cut the grass with a reel mower.

    Why doesn't she like the finish from the reel mower?

    Too uneven. We have a very bumpy yard with lots of weeds and reel mowers do best with straight, flat grass. I usually follow up with a weed-whip, but it still has more of a "natural" look after cutting. At least this way she can use the self-powered mower to do it herself which she's been asking to do for years, but the reel mower is not easy to use by comparison.

    Of course, our yard needs a total overhaul but that's a task for another day when we have free time to get new top soil, etc.

    Of course, I also got her a bottle of 1800 Reposado and a bouquet of carnations and peonies. I'm not a complete monster.

    And she's made out of paint coated metal! Truly, her burdens are great

    There’s a lovely person between Y and I
    on your keyboard… Just look :)"

    I only see another key. Which I'm glad of as I don't want someone standing on my laptop. Seriously though, today has been a day for new messages that I've not seen before.

    Oh dear

    So I met a friend of a friend about a year and a half ago when I went out with their group to a beer festival, and I flirted with him but nothing happened (which was fine, because I didn't particularly find him all that attractive once I had sobered up anyhow)

    And this poor thing seems to have realized belatedly what I was aiming for at the time, and now just sends messages every few months being all heyyyyy; I responded to the first one or two with short replies but then have just gone radio silent since

    The most recent one being this morning, when he messaged saying "hey! did you go to E3 this year?" and I just want to pat him on the head and say "oh my sweet summer child, I am not a member of the press, it doesn't work that way"

    I'll elect to go with silence again, I think, instead

    By the infallible laws of romantic comedy you must now get married or risk ripping the very fabric of the universe asunder.


    No pressure.

    (Hope you get to have that date finally.)

    He's not like, particularly scary or anything, especially compared to some folk in my past, and seemed to be pretty nice when I met him; it mostly just merits a tiny little sigh and then moving on with the rest of my day

    I think I find it frustrating because it's such a constant source of anxiety for me that I'm that guy to people, seeing other people actually being that way just sets that off.

    Wish I could agree harder! Communication is key, as with many things. It's always better to be upfront, and even if it's scary to ask, knowing is much more comforting than struggling with the anxiety of uncertainty.

    H isn't anything.
    Unless he has a really thick accent and is asking if you have an itch? Maybe he's just concerned about dermatitis.

    Man I was this guy once with one girl. I look back and shake my head. For me it was only for about 3-4 months, then I went "derp" and moved on. After that I went by the 2 requests method. Try to start a conversation or go on a date or something? I'd give it two shots then time to move on!

    My first boyfriend was the product of a guy persisting in asking me out even though I said no and just wanted to be friends, until I began to feel bad, pressured by friends, and thought "hm maybe I should how bad could it be" and it was very meh and I wasn't really into him at all but I felt kinda stuck with him then. Moral of the story: its not good and it works sometimes, don't let your friends do it!

    I think I'll stick with replacing that anxiety with the crushing certainty of being too broken and horrible to love.
