I've always typed up a letter of resignation. I schedule a meeting and hand it to them in person, then email them a copy so they've had physical, electronic and verbal. Makes it easier for them if they want to show it to somebody else, and you've got an email record of it so they can't dispute that you've handed it over.

I can't understand it at all. If I don't wake up tomorrow, I'll never know that I haven't woken up, so what's to fear? I fear heights, because I'm afraid of falling. I fear growing old and feeling like I've not accomplished anything in life. I fear being alone all my life. These are fears because these things can happen, and I'll know they've happened. But I'll never know non-existence. Even if it happens, I'll never know it, so how can it be something I'm afraid of? I was being (somewhat) flippant. I do think it of the people who so adamantly believe it. Who can't imagine a possibility of there not being an afterlife. However I don't think it of people who would like to believe, or are open to the possibility. Taking @Sheikah's or @Goafer's points, that your atoms once made up a "soul" so they could again has sense to me. Obviously I don't find that narcissistic.

Of course I've pondered it, been confused by it. But I don't understand fearing it, because you literally won't know that it's happened.

I created the heavens and the universe.

I find the firm belief in an afterlife to be so narcissistic. You literally can't imagine a universe without yourself in it. If you're struggling to grasp the idea of not existing, what happened before you were alive? Personally I'd only really reconcile an afterlife based on some sort of solipsism. I've never understood the fear of non-existence. What exactly is there to fear? You're literally fearing nothing. It's not like you're aware of your non-existence in order to fear it. I was non-existent for 13+ billion years before I was born, and that was perfectly fine. What about if you get a quote notification?

Clearly you didn't say it enough; women love commitment. Say it again.

I know, but it was the best image I could see without scrolling after googling "upside down mouse".

Congratulations! I'm happy for you. Good luck on the oncoming little 'un. I hope he/she doesn't grow up to be a spurs fan.

The kitten was biting her.

Don't take any chances on giving he mixed signals. You need: Candles Mood lighting Barry White on the record deck (also consider Marvin Gaye or Spandau Ballet) Wine Wine glasses (don't assume she'll be fine drinking out of a dirty mug with dried coffee in the bottom) A spliff Cat litter tray in the middle of the room Meow loudly at your cat mid-sentence A KFC bargain bucket Works every time.

You have to say something about yourself. Think about how hard it is for you to think of a message. Then remember that they're trying to think of a message as well. You need to make it as easy as possible for them to reply, otherwise they'll just think you're not a good conversationalist or that it's too much effort to bother with. Yes (most) women want a guy who's a good listener, but conversation is a two way thing. Women get inundated with messages, so if yours doesn't feel like it's going anywhere then they'll speak to someone else. Plus if they're going to meet up with you they want to know something about you. They don't want to feel like they're being interviewed. For every message (at least in the beginning before the conversation starts flowing) make sure you answer their question or add something about yourself, and then ask them a question. Don't worry too much about sending long answers. On OKC people aren't on it constantly, so will rather go on it an hour in the evening or something. If you're only going to be sending 1 or 2 messages a day (or every few days for some people) then you need to make the messages count. On something like Tinder then stick to short messages. Yeah ten is a small amount. Half of them probably aren't even dating anymore, and they're not all going to be attracted to. Think about how many women you've known in your life, and then think about how many of them you've been attracted to. Those sort of percentages are what you're aiming for.

That awkward moment when you realise somebody has you on their ignore list.

Pretty sure that's the definition of voicing an opinion.

Yes it would. Put it in the banks and you'll get £30-40k a year. That puts you in the top 20-30% of earners. Much higher than the average salary of £26,500. Sure you won't be buying mansions and supercars, but You can live fairly comfortably without ever actually dipping into your £1,000,000.

I live in a swanky loft conversion. Well my parents keep saying they'll convert it, I'm sure they will soon. But I don't mind, you get used to the bats, and after a while the loft insulation stops giving you a a rash and kinda tickles.

I think it was a combination of your previous posts in here, and your post in the self improvement thread, plus people not properly reading your post. Belated as it may be, congrats. I'm glad it's working for you.

Roses are red Violets are blue Shorty is happy So let's all stop misreading his posts and trying to give him advice that he doesn't need, OK? Maybe it doesn't quite rhyme, but it still fits better than half the ones I've seen floating around the net.

@Shorty, for some reason I thought that you'd said something to her and she'd pushed back, but did you just chicken out from having the discussion altogether? You need to do it. Yes Tinder is used as a fuckbuddy platform, but I've known plenty of people meet through tinder and end up in a relationship. What have you got to lose? You ask her where she sees this relationship; either she says she would like to make it more serious, great, or she says she's not looking for something more serious, not great, but at least you know and can make a decision as to whether you are happy to continue as is. You need to have the discussion as living in confused ignorance clearly isn't working for you.

I'm focusing on career goals at the moment. Currently doing a professional course to improve my career prospects. Looking to change jobs next year. I should get back on fitness improvements. I did do well for a few years, regular exercise and a slightly improved diet. I lost a stone and a half. Since then I've stagnated though. My diet is really good (thanks to living as a couple rather than my own volition) but I do no exercise anymore. The only exercise I do is walking to work daily (about 3 miles round trip). It's not a lot, but when I started walking to work over a year ago I noticed my weight improve. At the time I was exercising regularly (gym, football, badminton) but wasn't seeing much improvement after I'd lost a stone. But adding walking to my regime helped me lose that last half a stone. I would like to lose another half a stone, and also gain more muscle, but it's not a hugely important goal so I've lost the motivation.

Sorry to hear that, @Daft. That's a hard decision to make. Sometimes you wish that things were shit so you it would be easier to just end it and move on. I hope you can maintain your relationship.

We'll be arriving at Hyde Park around 12.15.

I'd love to come and join you for a day. Do you know whereabouts you're going to be next weekend (20th or 21st)?

This week on posts that got taken too seriously...
