Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) Is it me, or has valentines day become less about actual couples and more about single people desperately trying to tell the world how they're OK with being single? Is that just because of facebook though? On the whole, I thought it didn't seem all too bad. Had a few people doing tag-ins showing they were doing something, and one guy put a status about what he was doing but that as due to being an open invite to singletons, few other people tagged the people they were spending it with, and one mate happened to casually send me a photo of something in the pub that I suspect wasn't all that pressing but clearly showed me he was out and doing something. However considering a friendlist of like a few hundred friends - I'd say I saw less than 10, which isn't all that terrible. Having said that, The Oatmeal Valentines Day (also recommend checking out some of their awesome valentines) Edited February 15, 2016 by Rummy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 15, 2016 Money is a very small reason for having a job. What? Money is the only reason I have a job. Surely no one goes and gets a job just to meet women? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 15, 2016 Okay, the coffee machines also have something to do with it. And the free water machine as well, that was a selling point for me. Anywho, got myself another date after work tomorrow. Slightly nervous, but that's to be expected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) And you can show off your brute strength when the bottle needs changing. Yeah, just don't take your shirt off first. When the Diet Coke guy does it, it's sexy, but apparently when I do it HR have to get involved. Edited February 15, 2016 by Goafer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's just a health and safety thing. One thing I have noticed is that dating sites seem to utterly suck here. Compared to where? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 15, 2016 That's because you missed the theme music that goes along with it...... I tried to play the sax, but it just made things worse to be honest. Spilling the water bottle all over the place probably didn't help. Gave my rippled abs a good sheen though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 15, 2016 If I were to get a full time job, it'd be at detriment to the site and would cause the site to die. No thanks. I don't ignore advice. I've taken a lot of it to heart which is now why I'm getting responses Not trying to get on your back or owt, but one could look at your situation and say that the site is to the detriment of your life. Just another way of looking at it. A work place has its plusses and minuses. One of the best things about it is that you're able to connect with others and meet new people with different interests. You're then able to connect on different levels and talk about a wide range of things. It changes you as a person. There has to be a middle-ground, a balance, where you can do something that you enjoy doing and then have all of the other good things in life, including good people. It's also something that I think gets harder with age. Do you really want to be in the same situation in, say, 10 years from now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I go out practically 99% of opportunities that arise. Nights out, trips to other cities etc. Just because I'm not working a 9-5 job doesn't mean that it's at detriment. If anything, I'd say it's the opposite. My time is flexible so I have the opportunities to enjoy life more than most. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 15, 2016 I'm in a bit of a predicament... The lady told me she'd like to go abroad for 3-6 months once she has her Bachelor's degree and after that she'll probably move to a different town and do her Master's there. Thing is, I don't want a long distance relationship and there's no way I'll be able to go with her. I told her that, I also told her that I don't want to end things because our relationship is great. Why is life always complicated? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
