Update: this did not happen. I backed out of it after realizing how pathetic that would be for me to go. Other guy was going to go but his girl got covid (apparently) the last second. Pretty tilted at him for this since he's been avoiding me and a few other friends to make NYE plans. Overall shitstorm and I told who I used to consider a friend to fuck off because I'm tired of being the "well all the girls canceled what are you up to tonight haha" guy

I wouldn't do that, because if the roles were reversed I'd see that as a red flag. Not maybe break up on the spot level red flag but a serious conversation.

I would be asking why you're in contact with your ex in the first place. The next thing I would be asking is how you'd feel if your current g/f still had contact with her ex and was accepting gifts from him….


…..and then had the audacity to wear the gift around you.

I don't see a problem with staying in contact with an ex, as long as there is nothing going on. One of my ex's is my bookkeeper and has access to all my finances. It's not been a problem for over twenty years. We're still good friends.

I think your case is an outlier (….there's a professional reason for the contact) and so is that perspective, but every relationship defines its terms…..but if it works for you?!?? Generally speaking, I don't think it's a good idea and most people would feel uncomfortable with exes still hanging around……for the sake of just being around.

You certainly have a point. For the sake of brevity I didn't go into detail but suffice it to say that we are more friends than business associates. We do just hang out from time to time and my current GF is fully aware of our past. We all get along fine and nobody crosses any lines. Maybe I am an outlier but that just proves that it is possible.

If I had one of my ex's as my bookkeeper I would be broke. I think maybe your case is an exception to the rule. The closest I have come to being in contact with an ex is being friends on Facebook.

Dude!!! You gotta fill in the blank

Got catfished for almost 2 weeks since Christmas.

Full on fake Instagram with followers, phone calls and pics in a nearby town you name it the fake person knew what they were doing. Until I found the Instagram of the person they were stealing all of their pics from. What a nightmare dating apps are nowadays.

Do people profit from catfishing?

The latest thing in the past year or so has been trying to get people involved in crypto

According to google, professional cat fisherman can make around $43k/annum.

I'm joking.

Do people still catfish? It happened to me after the first divorce in 2009. I just stopped after about 2 weeks. I feel dating in general these days is cat fishing mixed with first date sex and then they never see or speak to each other again. I also feel like if a person gets catfished these days, it's kind their own fault.

Guys guess what... I"M BACK IN THE STATES!

...and popped hot for the vid so immediately got shoved in q-tine, but at least it's not shitty ass Kuwait.

Went on the worst date of my life last Friday. Started off telling me about how bad she is with finances and how she's mostly broke due to shopping habits. As the drinks piled on she starts bragging about how many guys she's slept with, how she's been on dates with five other dudes in the past week, and what I need to do in order to make her orgasm. Later proceeds to diss my appearance and personality. Then asks me to come over to dinner later in the week.

Bizarre chick, haven't texted her since. I hope she spends her life alone.

Couple nights later, my ex wants to watch Spiderman. I go to pick her up...let's just say Spiderman didn't happen.

Where’s Sara ?
I always get concerned these days when a female goes radio silent, which is dumb bc it’s the internet and not like no one has seen them at their job for weeks.

Anyway……
