Texas has been trying to abolish daylight savings time since around 2017 and yet, we're still doing it. There are already something like 7 states that do not use Daylight Savings time, so it's not like there is no precedent for this, but once again, so much red tape and long processes surrounding this that have delayed what most hope will be the end of realizing you've gone to work an hour early or missed a flight due to the time change or the annoyance of having a young child/pet not able to understand the time change and having their schedules screwed up.

im wondering if leather pants is hot for women

I am part of a new friend group comprised of this guy, his cousin, best friends and their long-term partners. I really like him. I’ve only briefly met him twice. His cousin and cousin’s partner were keen to set us up, so was his best friend and his fiancé. The best friend and his fiancé still are but his cousin and his girlfriend changed their mind claiming we aren’t each others type. I was told by her to leave it at few months for a relationship. She is very obviously bullying the other girlfriends, trying to split her boyfriend from his cousin and friends etc. I honestly don’t trust her. I don’t trust she’s looking out for me.

On Saturday, his best friend and his fiancé (who I am actually now closest to) got us briefly talking. He asked me if I was single, my age (which he knew) and said ‘I’m 24 too! At 24 I feel rushed to … a relationship. How do you feel about it?’ (I can’t remember the actual word he used). He asked about my previous relationships and tried to joke around with me for a bit before cutting the convo as everyone else was putting on their coats. Before our convo, he had randomly put his hand on my shoulder twice when I was just standing beside him and made a point of loudly expressing concern about waiting for me to be collected.

My mother claims it means he’s looking a relationship and feels pressured in a good way. I took it as that. But since, I’ve started to wonder if he meant he feels like he should but it isn’t what he wants. I would like to message him but it’s not worth my time if he means he wants something casual.

What do you think he meant? Should I message him?

My good friend is going to have a wedding and I'm one of the bridesmaids.

But unfortunately, we still don't agree so far, we both lean towards green, but I prefer sage green, she likes olive green, I said "bridesmaids are 5 people, and there is no problem with the green color, but it is difficult to communicate".

I am very distressed!

28F, I gamed online frequently with two guys for a little over 2 years. We never met in person & over time the two of them stopped playing as frequently. Now I ended up unfriending one in Dec 2022 bc over time I got irritated with him. While he was clearly a better gamer, he came across as arrogant at times & if there’s one thing I can’t handle it’s a conceited man. He wished me merry Christmas, I didn’t answer & he follows up maybe a month after on IG. He acknowledged that I unfriended him & wanted to know why, I was blunt & he apologized etc. It was a mature conversation & shortly after he tells me that his apartment burnt down after an electrical fire. He’s complained about the complex for the whole time I knew him but for it to end that way is absolutely insane. By the time we talked about it he already moved into his new place, confirmed his ps5 was safe & we left it at that. I checked google & there was a go fund me page for he & his wife. This conversation was in Jan this year & we haven’t spoken since, I added him back on the PlayStation app maybe a month later. He’s been online but not as often, we’d usually talk most of the time he was online but he hasn’t reached out & I feel awkward. I see him online & we’re playing the same game too but nothing. It may seem like an obvious AITA post but tbh if he didn’t say that conceited shit when we were still talking I’d very very likely check in with him by now. I haven’t gotten over it completely, even though I accepted his apology 🤷🏻‍♀️

WHAT IS MORE DESIRABLE AND SEDUCTIVE TO MOST MEN?

Asking for a relative who's much older. They got married in their 40s after 6 years of engagement, there was nothing really stopping them. They also got divorced almost 4 years later..

I feel like a lot of people do at least a little.

Kinda like when you're playing strategy games/sports where you read someone's movements and adjust because a different action is the better play to maximize your chance at winning. Sometimes you draw up plays with your boys/girls and most of them are usually bad at giving advice but every now and then there's someone who has mastered the game.

If you think this is terribly inhumane and manipulative then I'd love to hear your success story and/or what advice you'd give to someone who's terribly shy and socially anxious. If it's "be confident" and/or "be yourself", how? It isn't that easy for some people. I'm speaking from experience.

I think it's all fair unless you're intentionally doing something that you know would hurt someone just for your own gain. Often both men and women want the strategies to be done on them. This doesn't have to be super complex. It could be as simple as positioning yourself closer to the person you like.
