I wish GOOD gyms were only like 30-40 a month, most gyms here that have a decent selection and are large enough to accommodate people are around 80-120 a month. Nice thing is my work pays for half of the membership.

If she doesn't, which seems pretty unlikely after all of those massive signals, then just apologize and say you misread the situation and that you just like her a lot and thought there might be something there. Nothing to lose, everything to gain

Nazzadan posted:What the hell is going on between me [29M] and my friend [30F]? I want to stab this moron in his goddamn face over the internet. Jesus loving Christ. How dense can one person be? Just kiss her, feel her up, give her an intimate massage, anything rather than sitting there like an idiot robot. I almost feel bad for the girl because she did literally everything short of forcing him down right there. Reminds me of a really old post with the most pathetic story about a camping trip where dude's female friend was repeatedly masturbating in the tent right next to him and he's all like "I dunno, do you think she's into me guys?"

Sure but after a point a reasonable person has to realize this dude is not picking up what she's putting down and either give up or escalate. He is entirely in the wrong, but if she wants that dick enough, she has to drop all subtlety.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:I don't think he's a scumbag but I would take steps to end things in that situation, it sucks but she's not going to help herself for a long time. I've been on either side of that one and it's not particularly fun for me in either case. Recognizing a partner is suffering because of the relationship but not so much that they're actually muster the activation energy required to end it is a pretty cool thing to do, IMO. I don't want to keep an arrangement with someone if I think I'm hurting them. That's fair I guess but I would say most people, particularly in the age range, do not operate the same way and she's gonna have to learn that lesson sooner or later for herself. I saw that poo poo happen a ton in college and while I felt bad for a couple of my friends that were the ones who wanted more I didn't really think the other person was doing anything inherently wrong either. I would not personally do what he's doing because I'm not really a fan of casual relationships but it's hard to fault the guy for basically getting exactly what he wants when he was very upfront and clear about it. Breaking up with her for her is probably the most moral choice here but it certainly doesn't make him a bad person for not doing so.

Yeah they were never dating exclusively and people are pretending like he's her boyfriend. He's not her boyfriend.

If anyone was curious, the "just discovered my wife has a dick" story from a few pages ago had an update. (it's from a few years ago):quote:UPDATE: thanks to everyone for your advice. I met with her today for the first time since she left and we spoke in length. She apologised, and explained her reasoning behind not telling me. She said that she knew she loved me as soon as we met and she wanted me to be the one she would marry, but she thought that I would reject her if I knew she was a man. She said she had always considered herself as a woman and didn't want her being born a man to get in the way of us being together. They're Catholic, apparently. (Not Orthodox Jews, sorry!) Comments seemed pretty united in denouncing the wife as a liar. I'm personally torn: I mean, she did keep some very important information from him for a year, but she never actually lied to him (as far as we know), and her reasons are... understandable.

Nazzadan posted:What the hell is going on between me [29M] and my friend [30F]? quote:At this point it's about 4:30 am. My friend expresses that she is tired and kind of wanders off to bed. Us guys chat with the roommate for a bit, and then make our way to the door. As I'm about to leave my friend comes out grabs me by the arm and tell's me to come watch Bob's Burgers with her for a bit. I agree and think I'm going to get some action. So we're just laying in her bed side-by-side laughing at the show and chatting a bit, and I suppose I should have just jumped her bones right then and there but I didn't (I'm an idiot). I kind of figured she would make some move to be honest since she grabbed me and pulled me back there but maybe she figured she lead the horse to water... So we watch an episode or two, and both start to drift off. She rolls on her side facing away from me (dammit) to get comfy. So I sort of spoon up to her and throw my arm over her with my hand on her stomach. Zero reaction. She doesn't lean into me, say anything, or even make a noise. But she doesn't react negatively either and she isn't asleep because she mentions the episode being over or something like that at one point. After a bit I move my hand to her leg. Zilch. I resign to myself that it's not gonna happen and we drift off.

But seriously itd be unheard of to have no kissing prior to marriage for a Catholic and lying about that is like the ur idea of annulment and prototypically theyd have to do pre marriage counseling through their church where "I am a man" may have come up.

I don't find it at all hard to believe. Purity Ball's are a thing and it's not exactly far fetched for religion to be madly controlling, especially over women. That all sounds like a really difficult and upsetting situation all around. Wonder how it ultimately played out.
