My mind boggles at how many ppl have to break up in public because their partners can't behave rationally.

[@VastDivide]

That's basically what I was going to comment. I really do not blame this guy.

[@SeraphicSorcerer1]

Yeah, kinda sad really

[@andersondawn3631]

Shouldn’t break up with someone in public period. Just shitty attitude thinking they won’t make a sense because people are around. If someone is concerned for their safety then break up over the phone.

[@SeraphicSorcerer1]

@@andersondawn3631 generally I’d agree but in some situations it’s the safest option, and breaking up on the phone is shun down apon and seen as rude

[@chaislaw5014]

@@andersondawn3631 maybe but alot of ppl think breaking up on the phone is a shitty thing to do too. Simple answer is for ppl to behave like adults. If someone doesn't want to be with you why on earth wld u want to be with them. Have a little dignity and walk away. If someone can't deal with breaking up its unlikely they are mature enough to be in a relationship in the first place. But this is ideal world speak, and it rarely works out tht way unfortunately.

[@oOAvatarFanOo]

Once I served a table with two young students (guy and girl), obviously they were good friends. It was at a student bar and I was studing myself. After a few drinks I came to their table again and the girl asked me if I was single and I said yes and asked "why?" "Oh, great, my friend here is also single and I think you'd be totally his type" While she was talking to me I noticed that the guy had only eyes for her and looked devastated. I asked her if she was single and when she responded yes, I said "oh great, I think you would totally be his type - why aren't you getting together?" His eyes lighted up and he gave me a big smile and nodded. She was like "nah, we're just friends..." I responded "you should try it, maybe you'd be a perfect match" and left the table. A few drinks later they were making out like crazy at their table and I felt like amor. A few drinks after that I saw them sitting there, the girl talking serious and the guy looked defeated. The evening ended with her vomiting and the guy caring for her and bringing her home. - poor friendzone guy (Sorry for any mistakes, I'm not native in english)

[@mathiassvendsen9788]

Ignoring the poor ending, that was an awesome story!

[@HasufelyArod]

Nah, I am not a big fan of the term "Friendzone", despite probably having been there before. Now that I think about it, I haven't been there entirely. Back to why I don't like it: I believe it is a term made by grudge-holding people, mostly moody guys, who feel resentment when their feelings are not reciprocated, WHEN IN FACT, your feelings don't entitle you to anything, as the other person is precisely that, a human being. The feelings are just not reciprocated at all. Take it, move on and, as Arianna Grande says: Thank you, NExt. I don't even like Arianna at all, however this phrase makes a lot of sense. Take Hal from Megamind. Boy, did I hate his NiceGuy Simp demeanour in which when he's rejected, he throws a fit and throws a temper tantrum. If I hate him, that means his character is well-built and properly created.

I went out on a date with a guy like the SF nerd guy. Besides the fact that he barely let me talk he also made fun of everything I did manage to bring up. My hobbies, tv shows, books, etc. then he asked for a second date. Also he was such a loud talker that our server had to ask him to quiet down. In a bar.

[@Shadowwind4]

What made you decide to go on a first date with him? Was he initially attractive?

[@katrinaquezada42]

@@Shadowwind4 I was in a dating rut and so I said yes to people who I wouldn’t have normally said yes to. He was awkward acting and looking but I thought I’d give him a chance since he got the nerve to ask me and I wasn’t opposed to the idea.

Cake story, I heard a similar story, wife had been cheating on the guy with his best friend, the affair partner confessed all to his wife and she forgave him and then she told his friend. He was NOT so forgiving, gave her a cake with divorce papers.

[@NordicEagleVids]

I work in a cafe so…. a few months ago a girl and a guy came in to the place where i work, they had some stuff and then had a seat. I overheard alot of what they said since they sat very close to the till area and it was generally a quiet day. They had the usual first date conversation topics like what do you do for a living, what are your goals in ln life etc (they were like 20) At some point, the guy mentions that he likes video games and for the next 40 minutes he goes on and on about fallout lore like a tape recorder set to fast forward. The girl could not look more uninterested and barely even answered him alot of the time while being on her phone under the table They eventually get up to leave (i think she arranged fake emergency to get out) he goes straight in for a hug but she just steps back and offer a handshake instead. Never saw them again but my money’s on that there were no second date

[@rugalbernstein5913]

At first I caught myself hoping the guy being drunk when his date showed up didn't spoil her impression of him, but then I realized, there's no justification to being 3 hours late, so really she left a much worse impression than he did, even with her driving him home.

[@QUEERVEEART]

Honestly I’m so worried about sending a message to the person I’m talking about, everytime i send a message about another person i check like 3 times who i am sending it to just to make sure XDDD and its not like I’m ever being super cruel about people but sometimes you just have to vent to friends about family or other friends ya know and it might hurt their feelings a lil if they saw what I’m saying, not that its super mean or anything but still.

I don't understand these people who wait so long when their date doesn't arrive on time. I'd wait half an hour, tops, because I have better things to do with my time than wait around for someone who doesn't place the same value on time and punctuality that I do. Why would you wait 1.5 hours? Value yourselves and your time, people!

I went on a date with my now ex gf back in my senior year of high school to a Texas Roadhouse. For some background we dated from our sophomore year until last year and she was usually a nice person but was very sexual so often. Anyway we were at the restaurant with some friends and she was sitting next to me. While we were waiting on food she caressed my private area above the pants and I stopped her before she could go any further. That happened a few times over our relationship and was one of the reasons why I broke up with her

[@vladimirenlow4388]

The baby back ribs part was amazing, ngl. I don't know if I would have had the guts to do that but props to the OP. 13:50 and this one turned out to be unexpectedly wholesome 22:25 reminded me that I used to be alot less social than I am now and I wasn't a conversationalist at all (in college I felt so bad that I couldn't hold a conversation for long) and sometimes instead of my phone I'd just bring a book even on family reunions taking place on a restaurant, a bit awkward to say the least. 27:34 or never as the other comment said, I used to laugh at those back in an all-boys high school (so it was prison and male rape jokes) in part because I didn't know any better and now I just cringe when thinking about it.

[@turbopokey]

I just realized something listening to this.(not this part it’s the setup) the aspects of good and evil are not on a line, it’s a circle. Specifically the the yin-yang circle of light/dark, good/evil. “Good” is primarily characterized by altruism, “evil” by selfishness, self entitlement and even apathy. This is the place for an in-depth discussion of the wheel of morality, but what I’ve realized that in America (not exclusively in America but that’s where I’m looking) there’s a decent amount of personal freedom and thus a significant rise in personal gratification (aka, hedonism) and the teachings of altruism (usually taught by religion) have been mostly cast aside even by the major religions, to embrace a hedonistic lifestyle and philosophy. The outcomes of massive amounts of people embracing such a philosophy results in a next generation of children being even worse than their parents as they are not taught proper altruistic methodologies in dealing with other people. All they know is “give me what I want or I’ll behave badly”, in other words, evil. America is becoming evil and is therefore doomed. So embrace the prepper ideology in order preserve yourself and your family as long as possible to bridge the chaos of a collapse/invasion. I don’t mean saving up a little food and supplies that will take care of your friendly neighborhood ravenous horde for a single day when they break down your door, kill you and take all your stuff, no I mean adopt the mindset that you will survive and learn the strategies and skills of wilderness survival that will help you do so in a complete “grid down” environment. Even if the society doesn’t collapse all the way down to zero, those kind of skills would still be useful even in a partial collapse. Ok, I’ve gone a bit off topic so I’ll stop now, thanks for coming to my TED rant.
