Search Results: will he break up with me

Someone at my workplace is undergoing this issue. She broke up with her ex boyfriend but they have a cordial treatment because of their baby girl. The guy is always there for the baby. Their baby is slightly under 4 months old. She doesn't want to be a mother anymore and feels she won't provide the care and love the baby needs. She's thinking about placing their baby up for adoption (to a new family) but the ex boyfriend will oppose and likely request to be handed his baby girl.

If your ex girlfriend doesn't want the baby anymore and is thinking about giving up the baby for adoption, would you accept being a single father? Would you let her give the baby up for adoption or raise the baby yourself?

A few months ago, a new guy started at my place. He works in a different area and he caught my eye. I noticed that sometimes he would look at me and smile.

I only see him about 3 times a day in the canteen (for morning break, lunch break and afternoon break). He sits at a table with his colleagues and he is normally looking at his phone.

For some reason, I’ve been paying more attention to him recently and we will glance at each other across the canteen but I always look away first.
I’ve noticed that he will gaze/stare at me and then smile. I’m always the first person to look away.

Sometimes it will catch me off guard, for example, I looked up and saw him staring/smiling at me while I was chatting with friends. I decided to do something about it. The other week, he was walking towards me and we smiled at each other. I said hello to him and he smiled even more, and looked down.

A couple of days after, I looked down at him while he was sat eating and we smiled. Ever since then, he has been avoiding eye contact in close proximity. When he walks past me, he will turn his head away and won’t look at me.

Then yesterday, we were walking towards each other and I looked up at him and smiled. He looked at me, smiled and said “Hiya” in a soft, quiet voice as he walked off. Is he just shy or something? Could he be attracted to me? Not sure why he is purposely avoiding eye contact. We do look at each other from a distance but it’s only a quick glance and not very often.

So I'm deciding between Bali or Korea for next year spring break 2025

So for the Bali trip, it's for a sociology class that would be for two weeks (March 13-March 30, 2025). We'll be living with a host family like we're the locals. For the most part, I'm told we'll be going to temples, do prayer rituals, help out with the local community, learn more about their economics (tourism). I'm also told they have restrictive diet mainly consisting of vegetables & fruits.

The total cost of this Bali trip is $2,000 (accommodations, meal plans, & main class activities will paid for within the $2,000 price). I would need to pay for the flight ticket by next month (Dec.) but they'll reimburse me. The class also gets a grant that will help pay for the trip too ($500 for undergrad & $1,000 for graduate), the remaining balance for trip should be paid in cash two weeks prior the Bali trip.

While Korea trip, it's just for fun. I will pay out of pocket for it of course and I was thinking of going with my sister. I was thinking of flight dates around March 17-March 22, 2025 since that's my spring break next semester. I was looking up on Jeju air and I had estimated around $323 or $343 sum round trip for one week in March (around those dates listed above earlier). I had friends who've been to Korea before told me that I can just live off the convenience stores for food since they're so cheap. I was told to check out their Airbnb too since they would be cheaper to stay at. And a lot of cool places to check out there too such as the Gyeongbokgung palace, starfield library, cool & unique cafes, etc.

I've never been to either Bail or Korea. However, my heart is torn on which place to go for next year spring break 2025. Please help me decide lol. For Bali trip, I have to use all of my next paycheck plus some of my savings while for Korea trip, I can pay the roundtrip now with half of my next paycheck & just save up some money for accommodations, food, etc. next year.
