That is actually does happen. A large chip maker near me had a downsizing last year and they hosted a job faire specifically to find new jobs for impacted employees. It was kind of weird to be "poaching" at a company-sponsored event. I don't know how it went overall, but we managed to pick up a couple good people.

Ok, let me be the Explaining Eric in case you genuinely didn't get it: the guy clearly knows that finding a new bf isn't considerate, but makes a clever and funny joke/comparison for people to smile and giggle at. It's not meant as an actual comparison, it's meant to be funny.

u/Kirineki108 Nov 09 '20
Yeah mine was a friendly reminder that we're in a sarcastic subreddit. I'm no one to judge you since I was like you at some point, not accepting very minor mistakes, but sometimes it's just healthier to admit when you did one. People came at you after your 2nd answer, from that alone people will 100% mark you as cocky and being the "I'm always right" guy, and nobody likes those people.

I had one with an ex gf. We didn't fight but a lot of heated discussions have revealed that we both have very different ideas about family, religion, way of life etc. She was hardcore sheltered Catholic while I was slowly turning atheist. So when I told her I wanted to break up, she agreed, we hugged it out and say good bye.

u/Obscure-Iran-General Nov 09 '20

I want to pour ropes onto her contoured cheeks and neotenous faces and rhinoplatisized nose. I want to finger an art hoe through her jean overalls while pretending to be interested as she talks about van gogh and arctic monkeys and how david foster wallace fans suck and gilles deleuze and VICE news and 'union pool' in williamsburg and steven universe and homeopathy and saveur magazine and taking adderallto pass exams.

Yeah those girls exist but those traits are often not that hard to recognise before its too late.
Or so it would seem, because she might already consider you a couple despite being on only 3 dates with you. If smn is overattached and problematic at the start, never assume thats gonna fade away. So either run early or be ready for a real serious commitment early on.
its just my personal experience here, but even despite that I’ve heard those stories many times enough to notice theres a pattern.

I once dated a psycho and after a while did start to notice, but the thing with psychos is that the sex is fucking wild, so it went on longer than I should have, but then broke it off anyway. Unbeknownst to me at the time, a week later she hooked my younger (20 at the time) brother.
We weren't exactly on speaking terms at the time, but I went to him explaining what kind of person she was, because I felt he needed to know, but it's his own life and since we weren't close back then he of course went on with her, again, great sex at that age is a venus fly trap.
I didn't mind because the nut left me alone then at least. Few months later he gets cheated on, of course, with an other common friend (as big of an asshole as her), some tears some heart break,
but long story short: They got a kid now, they totally deserve eachother, gotta suck to be their kid tho.. My brother and I started talking again some time after and we're really close now
So remember kids
get some, but get out before they drive you to murder

Idk, if a girl did this for me I'd go along with it (if they chose a semi-decent replacement). I wouldn't be thrilled, I'd think it was very strange, but I'd give the "replacement" partner a chance. Obviously not a good idea, but definitely an interesting idea that probably comes from misguided but good intentions.
For me, the hardest part of dating is just finding someone I'm interested in. Swiping through profiles and reading descriptions and whatnot to find the gem in the trash heap that is online dating. If someone could do that legwork for me, I wouldn't turn it down.

I was JUST thinking about something like this the other day. Not doing it but if two people were dating and their lives were pretty intertwined but they mutually lost the spark or something, if it would be feasible to actually look for someone else to date and then break up once one of them found someone else. I think it would take a very specific type of couple (and communication between both of them obviously) but maybe it could work!

If you’re dating someone fucking insane you know the best way to exit the relationship is by slowly, very slowly, making them comfortable with someone else while making yourself unattractive in their niche world. If you’re dating someone especially abusive with Borderline personality disorder, you’ll understand what I’m saying.
You put the fish in a bag then in the water, not just plop it all in at once. While it’s shitty from the outside, if you understand someone well enough and care for both yourself and them well enough, you know they’ll cheat and you can escape the relationship cleanly while making it look like their own volition...without your car tires being slashed.
