I have this neighbor who lost some weight, and now my interest is piqued. I could tell he used to like me, but once he realized the feeling wasn’t mutual, he just smiles and moves on with no more talks.

I feel awkward trying to approach him. He was really sweet when I first moved in, and we had some nice chats before, but I don’t know now—what should I do?

Your interest is only now because he’s physically more attractive…

Yes, LP there’s a lot wrong with that

He said "No, thank you" and I asked about a possible friendship, and he said he rather keep things "brief and cordial" :(

funny

Same SD1. I get the physical attraction argument (do not agree with it, just get it), and would worry that there were more shallow things on the horizon. This guy did you both a favor!

Gotta strike when the iron is hot, once it’s not, it’s hard to bring that back. No matter what the current waist size is ;)

Very Noob question: First year here that has done DD for a couple of deals representing the seller now.

Specifically, what does the buyer do with this? It seems like these provisions should trigger but nothing then happens...

I know I will get hated by saying this. Do you think gay pride events are portraying a bad image about our community to public? (Drugs, sexual, inappropriate clothes, and sometimes like strip clubs- some parts). I know it is right to present us but I just feel it is not the right way to show who we are. I wish the pride where everybody can connect in a more friendly way (outdoor game- team work, dance, drink something not too sexual.) there are some good parts of pride tho. Any opinions?

Almost midnight here and I'm cleaning my medicine cabinet so I can reboot having a regular skin-care routine. I'm listening to one of my favorite musicals, "Ragtime", specifically the song "He Wanted to Say". Living 9 time zones away from home out of the US and watching the BLM movement there, unable to do anything concrete about it from here - this song I've listened to countless times, today about brought me to tears.

I really don’t mean this to virtue signal - just wanted to share a moment.
