    Well we we started watching a Netflix show together and she introduced me to her dog. So you could say it's getting serious.

    In the past when I'd have a nice couple of dates I'd usually be really quiet about it with friends or family because I didn't want to then have to go back and tell them it broke off. Complete opposite with this one; I'm the town crier announcing the news in the village square (ok not quite, but yeah).

    Welp. It wasn’t flat out rejection because he cares about me too. He just want to stay friend’s. I’m okay with that but not gonna lie it hurt. x.X

    Edit: Scratch that it hurts more than I thought. Trying not cry because I have to work for 4 hours with a bunch of asshole kids. Hopefully they don’t sniff out my weakness today...

    Proud of you for putting yourself out there. Regardless of the result, don't lose sight of the part where you bit the bullet and did the thing; you won't have to regret the "what ifs" thanks to that bit of courage. Survive those four hours and then go home and process that shit. You'll be alright.

    Based on a couple of recent Facebook posts by my sister-in-law, I'm pretty sure my brother got divorced and no one bothered to tell me. I mean, I'm terrible about communicating with family, but this is going to make for a really awkward call to my parents in a few days to ask about it and tell them I'm engaged...

    Also, I'm proposing to my GF on Valentines. Technically she proposed to me a couple weeks ago and picked a wedding date a year and a half ago, so it's kind of a formality

    Hey, you found the courage to put yourself out there, and that's the important part. Too many people get content drifting along in a status quo that's ultimately to their detriment. Ripping the band-aid and finding out one way or the other how you move forward is an A+ good choice and I genuinely commend you for it.

    Something of a cross post (mainly for those folks who don't make a habit of lurking in the LGBTQIA+ thread)…

    This is the fella that I would move heaven and earth itself for if it made him smile:

    He's wearing the cap. I'm...well, not, obviously :lol:

    Did I mention that he has the most adorable smile?

    Half alive in a whitecap foam
    Half in love with a white half moon

    Always fun when you've been talking to someone on a dating app and it is going well and they ask where you work and you have to tell them you are on disability actually and then you are waiting to hear back.

    Totally not nerve wracking.

    Totally doesn't make you feel judged and worthless.

    Had a really really great time with Jason over this weekend. They got along great with Christine and I, and there was lots of smooching and snuggles and food and games and other things and they left today and I'm a big sobbing mess

    So I was in a five year relationship that ended three months ago. It wasn't super dramatic; neither of us were really getting a lot of happiness out of it anymore so it made sense, but I was still in pretty rough shape until recently. I decided to try out a dating app since I pretty much only see people at work and when hanging out with a close group of friends, and when we do go out the tavern we frequent isn't particularly hopping. I've been taking care of myself a lot better since the breakup, including my environment, but I haven't really spent money on stuff in a while so I decided to splurge and buy some art and new curtains and stuff for my apartment, which made me feel great! I somehow got a bunch of matches on the app within two days which was astonishing, and someone messaged me. We ended up getting a pretty questionable meal at a restaurant near here and then watched three hours of adventure time and cuddled on the couch and it was very good!

    Yeah I was a little hurt at first but I'm glad I told him. It really doesn't change anything. I still have feelings for him and we both agreed we're important to each other. I don't plan on waiting around for him but if his feelings change I'm happy to accept them. At least he knows how I feel.

    That's entirely the new fella - he has one of the kindest, most expressive faces I think I've ever had the joy of being able to look at. When he smiles, it just lights up the entire room, and he gets this twinkle in his eyes sometimes that's just...heart-melting *happy sigh*

    And that side of my life is really really great, I'm still a little confused about that actually, it's just been so smooth, I'm halfway waiting for something to go wrong just because that's what I'm used to, I guess?

    I'm totally in the same boat with my GF, too. When I'm with her, I'm confident things are going great, but then I start second guessing myself when I'm not.

    Speaking of which, we have a Valentine's weekend date on Saturday at a fancy restaurant (with *gasp* reservations). I don't know if I'll get her flowers (they're beautiful, but they die in a week. I don't like what that represents), but I do have a box of bourbon chocolates I got from my trip to Kentucky, and a sequined makeup bag she mentioned she liked on our first date. And in it are some mini Pachimari clippy plushes that she's had her eye on for a while.

    If you don't like flowers, you can get a small succulent or bromeliad instead. They're nice to look at and lower maintenance than many house plants.

    My gran disliked cut flowers because they made her think of funerals and death and I've never been able to get rid of that association. I second a houseplanty thing. Or a piece of art?

    I'm working on a case study regarding education reform for one of my classes, and the girl I'm seeing who agreed to be a serious thing relationship whatever who teachers 5th graders asked if she could read it. So she did and then Sunday we discussed it together while working on other stuff and that was really enjoyable!

    Of the valentine's day flowers.

    The only place it irritates me is the roses, which I can generally buy pretty cheap (and roses are one of my favorites, so I often do), but I see the price go up significantly around Valentine's Day.

    Otherwise I generally consider the cost of flowers (and the cost of a good arrangement) to be very worth it.

    That is going to be an ungodly heavy bouquet if those bag have anything in them. Perfect for your partner to bludgeon their enemies with once you've given it to them. The perfect gift. Let's see you do that, flowers!

    I got flowers from the lady I leased my car from and I nearly cried

    They were very pretty

    That's the sum total of my flower receiving experience

    I've never gotten flowers and, while flowers are very pretty and I would be very appreciative of the gesture, that's probably for the best because I don't know if my copious allergies could handle being near them for long periods of time.

    Plus I prefer to see flowers in a garden setting where I can also visit the lovely bees and other insects that come with them
