Rambling Rosie's Retreat

[RosewoodTulip]

I love the Dead

But also from Detroit

Oh that was lots of fun! Great energy there

 

[Deadfreak]

I got to see some of the members (he said member) play when they were older, 1970 was a bit early for me.
Saw Grateful Dead teens of times
Thanks for letting me play DJ for a second on your thread, couldn't resist when I saw the Ramblin Rose.

 

[LupineOne]

I mean I'm pretty curious now after seeing it be so highly recommended by you and @Biggalute
Looks yum...

If you like drinking liquid smoke that tastes like a peat bog, more power to you.
Unfortunately my palate isn’t sophisticated enough

 

[Deadfreak]

Try this

No problem at all.
Like I say, I always appreciate a good recommendation

You should really go into sales with a pitch like that

Yeah I'd try it once properly just to say I have but it doesn't sound like my kind of thing

Same. I tried it once and had the above reaction along with the involuntary-shudder thing

 

[RosewoodTulip]

I liked that.
I liked at the end they gave each other a look as if to say "yeah that'll do for that" and just stopped haha

Am I remembering properly that you like a bourbon more?

You are. My palette runs sweeter in general. I like a good rye too.
Scotch is not my thing generally.

I don't think I've ever had rye
I do prefer a bourbon to the Scottish and Irish versions but my palette runs on a limited budget haha so I haven't tried very many

Couldn’t have said it better myself, Wolfie. Give me a Speyside single malt or a nice bourbon or rye.

 

[NorthernCardinal]

I've been thinking a lot lately about relationships.

I've been trying to get a little casual something going with this guy for quite a while now - pretty sure we're cursed haha but I still have hope. Not a lot but it's there...

But as much as I like him I've realised that we message when he's free. We work around his schedule. If he goes radio silent for a few weeks well that's ok isn't it? It's not like we're serious or anything..

Its hard to know what, if anything, I can ask for in a situation like this. The whole point is, well, that it's casual... easy... uncomplicated.

And I try to be the chill girl
That holds her tongue and gives you space
I try to be the chill girl
But honestly, I'm not

Maybe I should call the whole thing off or maybe it's worth talking about. I don't know.

Has anyone here successfully navigated a casual, fwb type of thing without going mad from overthinking?

Nope.

Nope.

Helpful. Thanks

It's hard when you feel like you are dancing to his tune. I don't know, cos as a massive overthinker myself, this is exactly what I do.

The thing is, there is nothing to be gained by playing games. If he is the one with the constraints on his time and attention, then it comes down to how much you are prepared to give HIM.

This doesn't stop you still putting yourself out there for someone else. And then if he misses his chance, he does.

I'm coming to be a big believer in if things are meant to work out they will. The one thing you can't control is what HE does. Only what you do.

Do what makes YOU happy.

Wise words

Wise words indeed.
Most of the time it doesn't bother me. I'm busy.. life is stressful.. which is why I'm not looking for a full commitment thing. But I would like more I guess.

Completely agree with this, plus I sometimes just have to tell myself to 'cop myself on', to stop worrying and just enjoy lit and online stuff for what it is, fun, flirty and sometimes making good connections.

I haven't ever successfully pulled off a casual hook up... If you figure it out could you give me some pointers?

I'd say everything is worth talking about and then if he says something you dislike - call it off. Good luck! I hope it works out and is fun for you!

Thank you

Don't hold your breath for those pointers haha cos I have no clue what I'm doing

Yeah it's being a big girl and using my words isn't it? Dang it.

None of us knows what we're doing. Lol.

And yeah, having to be a grown up totally sucks sometimes. All I will say is whatever you're doing with your man, it's gotta work for you as well. Good luck, babe!

Nope, I used to pull, and have first date sex, and I wasn't deemed as being anything more, and to that point there were girls I met who I would want more with and were not interested in going further with me.

I met my ex and fiancee both online, and if you want FWB, you need to cultivate a relationship, and with that be clear at the beginning as to what you want. I'd be useless though, because if you fuck me, I will probably fall in love and will move you in.

But, those days are behind me.

I found being confident, complimentary and funny help. It also helps being pretty too, lol.
