  • I’ve had several friends and family who got into this state and took a few months or years to decide what they wanted.

    Of them, most were just taking a break from the emotional labour of dating, which I totally get. Some went back to online dating but others didn’t intentionally look for a relationship until something fell in their lap (a new coworker, etc).

    Some just never dated again. I know a couple people in their 60s/70s who had just had enough and were perfectly happy to live alone.

    IMO there’s nothing wrong with taking this approach, and I think the best way to go in is to just say “I’m not dating right now”. Don’t say never again and don’t set an artificial timer when you need to jump back in.

    Things often work out if you don’t try to force yourself into doing or not doing something. Read how you’re feeling in the moment and go from that. It removes so much of the pressure on yourself to do or think certain things.

















  • An American-owned, bottom of the barrel fast food chain serving frozen donuts and mediocre sandwiches. Their coffee turned to shit 10 years ago because they mismanaged their vendors and lost their supplier to McDonald’s.

    They hire practically no Canadians and exploit the Temporary Foreign Worker program like no other restaurant business.

    There’s nothing left there that’s worth buying or saving. We’re at least 15 years too late for that.

    I was actually in one a few weeks ago and had a “flatbread pizza”. It was worse than the equivalent pizza I ordered on an Air Canada flight. But at least it was a couple bucks cheaper.
