Tell me some good news. Tell me about your happy place. Tell about some goods things in things your life.

Big or small, dating related or not, we want to celebrate the good times today!

Yeah the title could use some work.

I thought we could try something new today. It's an idea that's been floated before, by a few people.

Tell us of a recent victory or two, dating related or not. It doesn't matter how big or small. We just want the focus to be on the positive for this thread and thos day.

Let's hear about those victories!

I messaged him first and he liked my message enough to ask me out immediately. 😁 His profile lists him as widowed and he makes it clear he's seeking a relationship. I have no clue how long he's been widowed as we've had very little chat. One of his pics has him holding a sign dated a year ago, smiling.

I guess I'm a little lost as to how to ask about history. I usually ask how long a guy has been divorced since in the last year I've been hurt by two men who got too involved with me too soon after their divorces. The last one left a high water mark on my soul, to borrow the words of a frequent contributor here. I just need to know how healed this new guy is and how open his heart is. How do

I had been using this brand of red miso for the last couple of years because that's what was available at my local Kroger owner store. But while making an Amazon purchase I bought some of this popular brand. I use their white miso as well.

There is a major color difference, which I know is caused by many factors, including how long it was fermented. The Hemisfares brand states it was aged for 3 years. The Hikari brand doesn't state it anywhere and an amazon reviewer said they received no reply when they wrote and asked the compan

He said that he didn't see this going anywhere and that he had hoped it would be about more than sex but it hadn't turned out that way. Being away for the last 2 weeks he realized he didn't think about me as often ah ought to have.

I'm surprisingly ok, though a bit sad. It's both a shock and not one at the same time. I kind of saw it coming. I believe he really tried to make a relationship but he wasn't clear and direct in his intentions. And I held back a lot, having trouble opening up and showing investment. On that trip we took though I can see what he means. That's where it became clear that there was something missing. Some kind of lack of companionship or conversation or something.

What are thoughts and personal guidelines on this? Does the age of your kids matter as to how soon you might introduce the new person? Does the potential seriousness of the relationship matter? How big of a step in the relationship do you view this to be?

Those being introduced to an SO's kids, what are you thoughts?

Yesterday comments were made in a thread here on SO30 by several users that promoted Red Pill ideology. And in fact these comments are appearing more and more frequently on dating, relationship, and sex subreddits lately due to a number of factors, including the growth and popularity of Reddit in general, and subreddits such as r/sexover30 specifically.

The moderators here at SO30 want to make it very clear that we do not allow the promotion of Red Pill (RP/TRP) ideology here at SO30. It is considered to be misogynistic and even misandrist and it will not be tolerated. Users will be banned for promoting it.

Tell me about the best boss you've ever had. Have had one that really inspired you? One that taught you a lot? One that gave you that job that started you in a years long career you loved?

Tell us about them here!

Post a poem today that taught you about love or relationships, even if it was a sobering lesson or a hard truth.

It can be romantic love, platonic love, familial love, or love in and of itself.

Bonus points if it's something like Shel Silverstein, Dr Suess, or others in that vein. :)

The breakroom or kitchen. Does your workplace have one?

Do you have any pet peeves related to it? A lunch thief? Annoying political commentary from idiot coworkers sharing what their friend just posted on Facebook? Who keeps the breakroom clean? Do you have a janitor who cleans it or do you all take turns?

Vent about it all...bonus points for making us laugh.

This one is for discussion.

What moments, words make you feel vulnerable in a newer relationship? How do deal with it?

And are you cool with that? If not what would/could you do to change that?

Are you sharing a phone plan? A Netflix password? Amazon prime?

Is this saving money?

Can it go wrong / get awkward?
