However, I will call you on your BS every time if I think it crosses over into the land of absurd. Mostly I read your brain droppings and laugh. However, the idea that you do not sin crosses into the what the hell is he babbling about territory.
Oh really? Since you do not read the book that is the basis of your religion, do you even know what are the 7 mortal/deadly sins? Let me help and let's examine if you've displayed characteristics of each.
Lust: How many threads have you created dedicated to women you've lusted after but cannot have?
Gluttony: Your beer drinking is the very definition of gluttony
Greed: You do not seem particularly greedy. Maybe even the opposite, so that's a win for you.
Sloth: Laying around. Not working. Drinking beer every day. Sound familiar?
Wrath: You've used abusive language towards other, including myself, MANY TIMES.
Envy: I suspect that you are envious of those that have things you're lacking like money, intelligence, charm, wit, a chiseled body, etc. However, you've never displayed it overtly (at least that I've seen) so only you know what's in your heart. You get a pass.
Pride It's obvious you have none so you're free and clear on this.
Let's do the math. That's at least four of the deadly sins that you display on a daily basis.
I live on a cul-de-sac right next to the water. I have four neighbors two of whom are in houseboats. The one houseboat neighbor is rarely ever here. I'm pretty sure the other houseboat neighbor is a drug dealer, but no worries. His clientele is mostly upscale. I've spoken once in eight years to the neighbors on my right and the couple across from him are awesome. They run a doggy day care. Since I typically prefer animals to people that's perfect for me.
I was just thinking that lying about my age would be counter productive. It's so much more helpful when a woman thinks I look good for my age or she says, "you can really still do that?"
Talking about exes doesn't bother me. However, I've nothing bad or juicy gossip type stuff to say. It's not necessarily a subject. It's a feeling I get when I'm being asked questions that are trying to figure out how this is all going to work. I'm way more relaxed than that and typically just chatting/flirting. .
Nit necessarily intuitive, but it usually doesn't take intuition to see if someone is in a flow of conversation or seeking "specific" information.
I guess personal is the right word. I s'pose it depends on your definition of personal, though. Certain questions that would be deemed personal don't bother me. Others raise my hackles.
That's not entirely true from my perspective. Let's say you're messaging typical friendly banter with maybe a touch of flirting. All of a sudden the other person switches to interrogation mode or twenty questions if you will. I'm not sure how the person being interrogated is responsible. I cannot answer for anyone else, but this has made me uncomfortable on more than one occasion. If I want you to have certain information I will volunteer it usually in anecdotal fashion.
This pretty much sums up my thoughts. Thing is though, what do you do when casual conversation leads to what you think is uncomfortable levels of messaging?
Much of the past decade's socializing appears to be almost exclusively online. This is especially true in 2020 for obvious reasons.
So... You've been talking to someone you've grown very fond of for days or weeks. Maybe you've video chatted and that seemed to go well. All of a sudden the communication falters or perhaps you're ghosted. What's your reaction and next move?
