Went on a date yesterday

Thumbnail
I'm 24m and have basically no dating experience. At the beginning of October, I met a 23f while doing some volunteering. We would often see each other while volunteering and chat briefly. I got to know her a bit over the last few months. One day, she is talking about a political event she is going to, and I tell her I'm going too. She says it will be fun and a great time. She had gone in the past, but I've never gone before. The day before, she asks what my schedule is for the event, and that she will see me there. I am there, and we eventually meet up. She introduces me to her friends and begins taking me around, and introduces me to politicians and people in state government. I had a great time and got to meet so many people, and really enjoyed seeing her. The day after, she texted me and said she was so glad I went and could meet her friends, and that she had a great time hanging out. The next week, I was thinking about her and how I really wanted to see her again. I decided to ask her if she was free that week to go bowling. She said she would love to, but was traveling for the holiday. So I suggested the next weekend instead. She said that sounded nice, so we made bowling plans. Yesterday we finally went bowling, and it was great. I was worried at first because we weren't really conversing as we bowled, but eventually things got better, and all of my nerves calmed down. Bowling was fun. It got really competitive. She initiated touch by high-fiving me a few times. After we bowled for an hour, we went and got some food and just chatted. The conversation was great, and it turns out we have so much in common. I paid for the bowling and offered to pay for the food too, but she insisted she get the check. When we left, we were talking about how much fun it was. I walk her to her car, and she says Let me know when you are free again. I am not sure if this was a date or not. I intended that it was a date, but everything went perfectly, and she seems really interested in me and wants to see me again. I really like her and can't wait to see her again.

So my wife’s going to a gala tonight — as her client’s “date.”

I’m 44 and my wife is 44. She works on an art advisory committee, so attending galas, events, and client meetings is part of her job. She often meets clients for coffee, lunch, or dinner, and I don’t always know the details and that’s completely normal because it’s part of her work. She’s always professional, transparent about her friendships, and I trust her judgment completely. Recently, she mentioned she’s going to a gala with a friend, S. He’s a wealthy client she met about a year ago, and they became friends professionally. She introduced me to him once, and he seems like a genuinely good person. He invited her as his “date” to this gala, and my wife said it’s fine. I did ask her though, if she’s actually going as a “date,” and she just laughed and said, “Date doesn’t always mean romantic.” She said it’s important for her she could get networking and meet new people. Then she smiled and said, “If I get into this gala next time, I won’t need to take that man with me, I’ll take you...

I accidentally started a fake relationship with my dentist’s nephew and now I have to bring him to my cousin’s wedding

I swear this isn’t as insane as it sounds. Or maybe it is. I don’t know anymore. So I had to get my wisdom teeth pulled last month. All four. It was horrible. I cried when they put the numbing stuff in. Not from pain, just vibes. The dentist was this sweet older guy, probably in his 60s, super gentle, gave dad energy. Anyway, after the whole thing I’m in the waiting room with a mouth full of gauze, looking like a bloated chipmunk and trying not to drool on myself. This guy walks in. Maybe 20-ish. Tall, curly hair, kind of goofy looking but in a hot way. He smiles at me and goes, “You look like you fought a squirrel and lost.” I flip him off. With love. Apparently he’s the dentist’s nephew. He was dropping off lunch or something, I wasn’t listening. I was trying to keep my face from leaking. He sits down and starts chatting with me while I wait for my ride. I don’t say much because again, gauze goblin. But I must’ve made an impression because later that night I get a message on Instagr...

I got into a fight with a Netflix actor and didn’t even knew who he was

So this happened last year. I was working as a bartender in this kinda fancy bar in LA where a lot of people come to show off. You get influencers, actors, TikTok people… that kind of crowd. One Friday night, this guy comes in with a girl. He looked like some Hollywood dude. Tall, kinda flashy, wearing expensive shit, beard perfectly trimmed, just screaming “I think I’m important.” The girl he was with was one of those types that look like they live on Instagram. She didn’t say much. He, on the other hand, was being loud and acting like he owned the place. Demanding a table that was already reserved, talking down to waitresses, trying to be funny but really just being a jerk. Then he said something to my coworker (who’s really sweet btw) like: Are your hands good for anything other than pouring drinks? She just looked shocked. I saw red. I told him, Yo man, maybe treat people like people, not like background extras in your life. He gave me that look like, you don’t know who you’re tal...
