Are you saying you're only allowed to date 1 person, ever, at a time no matter how serious it is? sephiRoth IRA posted:In all seriousness, you seem so angry about this, compared to say, crazy ex stalking an entire family or whatever rawr i'm mad on the internet.

It's not wrong, I disagree with you there. But I will agree that it doesn't sound like either girl is aware of or comfortable with the arrangement and OP knows this, which makes him a bit of a dick. Then again if you aren't exclusively dating someone you don't get to decide what they do with their time when you aren't together either.

I'm curious what the arbitrary time limit is between dates? If they were a single day apart and the ticket taker said the same thing, would he still be the gallant hero striking down the perfidious Lothario?CharlestheHammer posted:lol so your going back to the thing were we are ignoring the girl apparently has no say in this.

I mean I'm with OP that the service worker hosed up but the appropriate amount of time between dates is 'long enough so that people around you don't say "hey weren't you with another girl literally a few minutes ago?"'

Yeah there's a reason he was trying to hide it, it's a faux pas bc on dates many people want to feel special, like you planned an outing just to see them. If they learn they're a number on a list, well. Yeah. They won't be happy. His spot got blown up but he's not cheating, just cheap.

Dude should have brought a new change of clothes and maybe a wig and fake moustache/glasses. The cinema must be pretty empty if the guy can remember someone from two hours ago. There is nothing wrong with going on other dates if you're in the dating stages - especially if you're talking first/second dates and you haven't even banged yet. But you should be honest about it if asked!

I think it's common courtesy to have enough buffer not to smell of Woman the First before starting on a date with Woman the Second, but my opinion doesn't matter, the important opinion here is Woman the Second's, who was unhappy to find out about this and left, and OP's, who thought this wasn't her fault but the service employee's.

It's "wrong" to comment on someone's relationship if you're not sure in a service situation is because the person might not come back, it's not a moral judgment either way. Dude taking the tickets doesn't care, but the manager clearly does because the guy buying 4 movie tickets in a single day is probably going to go somewhere else for his dates. Hotel and restaurant employees understand this well enough, the situation likely doesn't come up as often at the movies (who wants to spend 6 hours in a day in a theater anyway).

My argument has always been and remains that it's her right to feel any way she'd like and to terminate a date for any reason, and that it's none of the ticket taker's business. I apologize for my unwillingness to play your strawman game.

shut up about the dude with two dates WIBTA if I demanded a friend wear a different dress to my wedding because the one she chose is ugly? quote:
the community? quote:I assumed that, as we are all members of the community, she would understand what was and wasn't appropriate to wear. I would hate for there to be a scene at my wedding, but it's not out of the question that she would be disallowed entry. quote:Two main reasons: Respect for the venue, my community church which was built over 1000 years ago. I don't think her dress is appropriate to wear to the location. You may disagree, but clothing is a sign of respect, and we are from a traditional background. quote:I don't know what to tell you. Colors matter hugely in church, not just mine, but many others.

AITA for asking my bf to edit the caption on his Instagram post?quote:throwaway for privacy. Last week we were at his niece's birthday party. A few days later he posted a picture of them with the caption "My most precious princess". For info, when we got together I asked my bf if he could call me princess and for 3 years he always exclusively did that.

AITA For telling my wife that she hijacked our anniversary tripquote:My wife and I have our 5-year wedding anniversary coming up this fall. To celebrate, I booked us a trip to the same place we took our minimoon after we got married. I figured it would be a nice way for us to celebrate 5-years of marriage. She loved the idea when I told her and we are both looking forward to it. "For you it was the greatest time of your life... for me, it was a tourist destination."

Don't put it on service minimum wage employees to keep your secrets. it's this kind of. he's not deceitful or dishonest or cheating (lol) or any of that nonsense, but he is lazy. and being lazy about dates is disrespectful. the assumption is that you're dating other people until you have a conversation where you ask the other person not to do that. out of politeness, you do not generally talk about who you are dating to the other person, or introduce them to each other or whatever. ticket taker was still being an idiot rear end in a top hat, but there's not any real villains in this story. just a couple dumbasses and a lady who wasn't taking any dumbassery

OP's still a fabulous rear end in a top hat, even extra points for reinforcing the stereotype of a stubborn churchgoer who realizes they're wrong, then takes pride in not changing.

Care to share what you've found? None of those terms strike me as particularly offensive. Lime green satin is a pretty aggessive color I suppose, but not to a fainting couch degree.

These are stick thin models making the dress look as good as possible and it's still not selling it well imo.

I think our mainstream advice columnists are really getting into horrible advice lately. quote:Dear Annie: My wife said that you would never print this letter because the subject matter was not worth your time, but I’m going to try it out anyway. For the past six months, my wife and I have saved $5,000 to have our basement redone. We have four children. Given the current political situations, I asked if instead we could use some of that money as a protection shelter should there ever be a nuclear bomb. She said if life gets to that point, she would rather die with her fellow Americans than live in a shelter. -- Just trying to prepare quote:Dear Prepare: I tend to look at the glass half-full and believe that would not happen. But with all that being said, I am a strong advocate for readiness. Better to be prepared and never have to use it than to not be prepared and not have it. Perhaps you could compromise and build a shelter into the basement
