Search Results: reading her friends

I want to give someone an audiobook as a gift. I am asking more poeple age 40+

Some friends are going to a reading by the artist soon.

Is a CD with an autograph nicer as a gift than one without? To get an autograph, you have to unwrap the CD. I don't know if they'll like the audiobook, and if the CD is still sealed, it would be easier to give the gift away if they don't like it.

Note: It is impolite not to keep a gift, and I would never know that. But I understand that not everyone may like what I like. However, I never say when I don't like a gift. For me, that is and remains rude, because the other person has put thought into what to give me, and rejecting it is hurtful. I feel the same way about myself. If someone rejects my gift, they don't get a replacement.

Hi Guys and Gals!

I came across an article after hanging out with a few friends yesterday.

Reading closely, the article reinforces the idea that on some level we're basically flirting with most people we grow close to... friends as well as folks we consider "relationship material". Hmm. It reminded me of what y'all said reply to a few of my previous behavioral questions:

• How often do you text someone (opp gender) who you're just friends with?
• Why would someone with reductive thought patterns suddenly want to be friends when he doesn't value his interactions with women?
• Be honest, someone writes you a long message/email (1+ page), do you read the whole thing or just skim?
• Girls, Ladies, ever had a friend who claims she "considers you a sister" but is constantly stabbing you in the back?
• Seems one of my guy friends has caught "girl next door" fever... WT* am I supposed to do?
• How do you know if a guy just sees you as a potential "side piece"?
• Go Fish: Do guys "fish" to see if their close female friends are interested even if the gal only sees him as an elder brotherly figure, nothing more?

(It's a lot... those who have time to browse can, those who don't... skip ahead to the poll. I'm just trying to tie a few things together pertaining to a behavioral issue I'm trying to assess and resolve amicably.)

SO...

• Please see which type of flirt you think you are...
• Share the strangest flirtatious comment someone used on you...
• Share your biggest (or most interesting) flirting blooper.

I’m 34 years old female

I’ve had some short relationships but I’ve only had 1 serious relationship for a year and 3 months (mainly long distance but 1st half was in person then the 2nd half was online). Supposedly friends now. I’ve been on other dates since then but no new relationship.

However I am happy being single and living my life to the fullest right now. I don't know if I just need to branch out more. I do volunteering, reading, Zumba, yoga, painting in my free time but some of my friends tell me I should go where there’s a lot of guys.

Dating apps and dating in 2025 in general honestly kind of sucks lately. Maybe I’d have better luck asking family & friends instead?
