| I'm afraid to touch things like yoga out of fear of getting harassed by the woke police for the unforgivable sin of 'cultural appropriation' and being labelled as another irredeemably racist evil white boy. :| Yoga was brought to the West by Hindus, e.g. Swami Vivekananda and Paramahansa Yogananda.... |

| You'd be surprised. I didn't think anyone would ever care that I wanted to work with Lilith as my personal deity considering that so many wiccans seem obsessed with her and transformed her from a Jewish Demon into a Goddess of Feminism. Then all of a sudden when I started asking on reddit about way... |

| The pastor's wife told me to pray to God to send me a man and he would create a scenario that would ultimately bring me to my soulmate! Hopefully the pastor, or his wife, can refer you to someone (e.g. a social worker) who can give you some practical advice, not just advice on what to pray for? IF ... |

Have you spoken to a social worker about the possibility of getting a home health aide? |

What are your son's hobbies, interests, if any?
Bars are generally not the best place to meet people. Are there any other, more focused group activities he enjoys that attract as many girls as boys? |

| It's an article by a woman who doesn't like the idea of specialized dating apps, e.g. for disabled people. She prefers mainstream dating apps despite all the problems she has had with them. The article was written in response to the existence of a dating website/app called Dateability , which specia... |

| Maybe hit the strip clubs or brothels if you're really desperate to lose your virginity. You live in Australia so escorts are legal there. You could get an escort and be 100% upfront about your lack of experience but you are willing to learn. Maybe get some sexual experience so when you actually do... |

| I think of friendships in same way as chemical bonds. Bear with me, this makes sense I'm sure! To get two chemicals to bond it usually takes a catalyst, pressure or temperature, plus time. So I could make friends, of a sort, at school because school is a crucible. It forces you together for long pe... |

| Should I text him and try to continue a conversation we had earlier, or should I ask if he'd be willing to play online games over the weekend or something of the like? I would suggest doing both. If you invite him to participate in something, make sure it's something you already know he would likel... |

What is your relationship to her? Are she and you of equal rank, or are you she supervisor? Do she and you work together, or in different departments?
Have you spoken to your supervisor about this matter? If so, what does your supervisor say about it? |
