Need suggestions for how to intro someone with no sense of a controller. I'm bored of playing Uno together.

I tried an untimed Worms tutorial, but even that got too frustrating for them

What systems do you have?

Fighting games might be a good option, since even if the person smash buttons randomly at the start, they actually get some result? And then you get more used to the grip of a controller without feeling frustrated all the time that you are always losing. Even a newbie can put a good fight in Smash Bros with a Kirby and smashing buttons 🤣
Also, maybe the classic grip is frustrating them? I have a friend that plays everyday for years, but still puts the controller on her lap and plays as an arcade because it’s more comfortable for her like that…
Lastly, try to find something they are interested in, since the longer they play, the better their coordination will get.

Try a racing game or a sports game, if interest exists. Try not to play any games with too many "gamer concepts" that people who have played all their life just know.

For example, sprinting is sometimes mapped to a button, health/stamina bars, inventory, object orientation puzzles, etc.

The closer the game is to something in real life or the more it resembles a boardgames, the easier it will be to learn.

For your very first game together, you could try uno with a controller - so the controller is the only new thing they need to deal with.

Then branch out from there to games that have a similar button mapping as uno. Play it by ear at that point based on how quickly they adapt

Try world of Warcraft 😂

I slept with a guy this weekend and went home without saying goodbye (aka waking him up to say goodbye). When I got a taxi, I sent him a text saying I was leaving because I was late for work (which was true). I didnt want to wake him up, but he considered this rude and unpolite from me. For me rudness was if I woke him up just to say goodbye 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yet another friend/colleague got engaged this weekend. It’s become impossible to celebrate people’s relationships. I’m a POC woman and I’ve been single since coming to the US 10 yrs ago. A handful of men have been interested but they were not Christian or back in my country. So many childless, single women in my church and I’m terrified I’ll be them soon. My non-Christian family doesn’t understand why I’ll only date Christians, or the dating scene in big cities, so they put pressure on me

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

Is it irrational for me to get an “ick” for this?

I went on a “date” recently. I paid for the tab as they were going to the bathroom. As we were leaving they said “thanks for lunch” — I was hoping they’d at least ask to Venmo me half as a kind gesture. Following lunch we grabbed dessert. I was hoping they’d offer to cover dessert since I covered lunch but it didn’t happen.

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?
