I had an online friend for a long time who was one of these 'live free or die, laws are for idiots, rules are meant to be broken' types. Ate ground beef and was just like "it's good, I like it". He convinced me to try a little piece. It was mid, I can't say I get the fascination. But some people are all about it and that's why they have to tell them to stop because it can make you sick.
Okay fine, I'll stop shitposting for a second and be serious. Real talk, I'm not a fucked up weirdo. Nobody who meets me even believes I play video games, let alone know who Chris Chan is. But if I announce this here, what does it get me? Anyone can claim to be normal and me saying so isn't going to suddenly change people's opinions of the kind of person who uses this site. It just makes me look autistic.
This website is going to attract a certain number of weirdos no matter what, because it's mostly anonymous and heavily revolves around internet culture. Yes, you can be into internet culture and not be weird, but that doesn't change the fact that a lot of weirdos are also into what we like. I don't think lolicons are more likely to be attracted to a website that regularly doxes them and makes fun of how ugly and gross they are over any of the other sites they could be using where that's less likely to happen. You're going to get the occasional gross lolicon here because there are gross lolicons everywhere on the internet. Here, at least they get bullied.
Nothing wrong with a feral friend.
I guess so, if it's not a symptom of mental illness, but in her case it was the tip of the iceberg. Hindsight is 20/20.
In my personal experience (and probably the experience of many people in this forum) if you need to brag about how hot, successful, cool and whatnot you are on the internet, you are probably neither of those.
If it's not a proposal I'd just do earrings, you're risking secret disappointment.
I have a savings account in a separate bank from my checking account. When I get a large amount of money I immediately put most of it in my savings account. It takes 2-3 days to transfer funds to/from the accounts so I don't get tempted to spend it. And then I get interest so win/win.
Earrings, a necklace or a wristband would do nicely. It's better to keep rings for very special occasions or you might send the wrong signals
Last and first was 3 months a long time ago. Since then it has been a very long dry spell
That was moreso for TV's Adam West to gauge the ring question, but I also understand you.
Going on 5 years.
And you haven't made her your fiancee yet?
I'm weird, I don't really believe in marriage. I don't think that I need a slip of paper from a court to prove I love you. And we aren't exactly in a financial situation for a marriage, either tbh.
if you want to stay with this girl forever but you don’t care about marriage ceremonies, at the very least elope. even outside of being religious, marriage is, in fact, way more than a slip of paper.
It's less of a reddit atheist, more so "I have never seen a marriage that's healthy enough I want this for myself. " I truly love her, we've had some ups and downs, but hot damn. There's a lot of issues where her dad always preferred her sister, so she got hand me downs. I want to get her something nice, so what do you suggest?
Set a portion of the money aside for savings, set a portion as your normal income got the month and then a portion to spend on something nice. What those portions are depends on you.
Well less than five years. You risk her thinking it’s a proposal and bring sad if its not.
It costs a couple of hundred for a licence or whatever you need to get hitched. Potluck supper, get everyone to bring good amd booze. Provide music. Done.
You do understand that there's no alchemical property of marriage that will transmute your healthy five-year relationship into a toxic mess, right?
Send it to meeee. For safekeeping, of course.
Are you two on the same page about this? Have you had the discussion, or is it more casual than that? If not marriage, do you have a permanent anything as a mental option or ultimate goal (generally, or with her), or are you more into (and I mean this neutrally, honest) separate lives/ dating as good approach?
