We flew on SAS business class to Copenhagen from the US just to spend 2 days there and eat at Noma when they were still the #1 restaurant in the world and they announced they were closing. This was just my wife and I, not part of any business trip/expenses.

K1, I tried to book a table for Geranium (before they were ranked) on that same trip and couldn’t find a table. I’ll have to come back fro Geranium and Noma 2.0.

SM4, it was very much an experience and the food was tasty too. It was a game of trying to figure out what was edible on the plate. “Oh that’s not a rock…it looks like a rock…wow this tastes nothing like a rock!”

I bought dinner for 8 to celebrate my mother graduating from a Registered Nurse program.

In my early twenties,
earning about 25k annually.

It was a lot of money but someone had to do it.

Kudos to you. Lucky mom to have such a thoughtful kid, it's not even about the money.

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?

Edit: to clarify, I don't mean hitting on women at work. I would just like to meet quality women, and I don't go partying or to bars. It's very hard as someone in their 20s coming out of a pandemic to meet people.

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit). He has mentioned a few times that he’s worried I’ll get bored of him when I know he can’t afford the same things I can. I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
