I've heard an old man use it this way a long time ago in the west. You would only hear it from someone who's very old or thinks they're a polite cowboy.

Can confirm. When we moved back to Colorado from Austin, we drove all day at 55mph (truck was speed limited) which was about 13 hours, and we were still in Texas. It was very disheartening.

I honestly cannot tell if anyone is flirting with me or not. I also cannot imagine that anyone would flirt with me in the first place, but if anyone did, I still wouldn't know. The only flirting I knew was when my wife called me up and lectured me for not asking her out. Apparently, she had been flirting with me and I didn't know. I am not bright.

I still feel bad for the 1 kid in jr high whose parents refused to let him do the sex ed section. 13yos are assholes enough, they didn't really need something else to use to make fun of him for.

Kids can learn to be quiet. Maybe libraries don't need whisper voices anymore, but inside voices for sure. Teaching kids (and adults it seems) to respect a public space and the people who are using it is not kid hostile. Sharing a space means all sides have to compromise and get along.

I went back to school. You can find tons of online courses in just about any subject, and some will count for real college credit if you ever want to turn it into a degree. Many are free, but some will cost you and most are worth it. A way to make your addiction productive.

I would go along with it and hang out and don't expect anything more. At worst, you have a fun new friend whom you like to hang out with --that's a win! Since she has no problems making the first move, if she wants this to be more, she'll let you know. Just have fun with your new friend!

My dad is a gun collector, so I was around them my entire life, but gun safety was also part of my entire life. We understood what they were and what they could do. So if my friends ever said "can we see your dad's guns?" It was always "no."

Applause to you for this.
