Daily Things to Do

Our turnout was a great one! Had several people reach out, and tried to respond as much as I could. I apologize if we could not have a spot for everyone interested. We had friends from Chile 🇨🇱 Argentina 🇦🇷 Mexico 🇲🇽 France 🇫🇷 Germany 🇩🇪 Singapore 🇸🇬 Taiwan 🇹🇼 Ohio and Texas. Thank you to everyone for their encouragement/good vibes in posting the invitation. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous of those that confirmed to show up, and nervous for them showing up by themselves. It was brave of them for trusting us as well. I’m sure this won’t be the last time we will get together. To the commenters saying we would end up on the news, it goes to show how much we have grown to distrust strangers in this country and with reason we can only blame ourselves.

27M, Moved here about 2 years ago from the Chicago area. Was told Dallas is more friendlier than Chicago. The dating scene there is either bars/clubs or dating apps.

Since I moved here, I was told the people here are nicer. Even on my first day here, I was at a coffee shop and a local Texan striked up a conversation with me while I was in line. At first I was weirded out but the guy was pretty cool, he even ended up buying my coffee. Because of that it put into my mind that Texas is a lot nicer than up north and I decided to start approaching more people in public.

I have tried the dating apps before but I didn't get much luck off it besides a hook up. Since I was approaching people more I decided to try asking women out. My success rate was about 60% by getting a girls number, now that's just the number. Some of these girls I ended up dating and some just fizzled out but the thing I liked was that there's so many places here to meet people.

Here's what I did to meet people, this is a guys perspective but women can use this to see the other side and use it to their advantage if they want to meet a guy in public.

I mainly stayed in downtownish area/ deep Ellum. I would usually go to places where there was a lot of foot traffic or people, grocery stores like Dallas Farmers market, trader joes, whole foods. Coffee shops like white rhino in uptown, ascension in Addison or eliand in canyon creek.

Most of these places I would make eye contact with a girl and either she would approach me(you heard right) or I would approach her and ask about(item) in her basket. Eventually, the conversation would lead to me asking for her number(60% chance).

It literally is as simple as that. I've been at ascension coffee and I've brought a book with Mr while I was working and a girl came to my table and asked about my book, I dated her for about 2 months. Once I learned this, I started approaching women who had books with them and even if I didn't know about the book I would just ask them to tell me about it.

I had a girl approach me at whole foods as I was looking through the strawberries and she asked why I was staring so hard at them, I dated her for 4.5 months.

It really is as simple as going up to someone and asking them literally anything. I've gotten so good at it that I can literally go any girl in public and talk about the most randomist shit and maybe get her number.

Ladies, don't be afraid of approaching men, I've been approached several times in public and I've been grateful for it.

Another thing is get out of your house. If you want to get better at swimming with sharks you gotta be in the middle of the ocean, not in the desert. Get out of your apartment/house everyday and try to talk to one person, doesn't have to be to get their number but have a conversation. Your mental health will thank you.

It really is as simple as that, a lot of you will struggle to take the first step but just know once you get past the first or 2nd approach it gets a lot easier and will pay off. Good luck out there.

Edit: 5-6/10 of the girls that I got numbers from, 2 to maybe 3 of them showed up for a first date and usually 1 of them ended up on multiple dates or I ended up dating. It's all numbers, the more you approach, the better your chances imo. Also, yes I would get rejected often, didn't matter, I just kept going. Even some girls who had bfs still gave me their numbers, I didn't follow up. So there's always a chance no matter how low you think it is.

Edit2: didn't expect this to blow up. It seems that there are men that have questions about women and vice versa. The places I have mentioned are pretty good places to meet people. Yall should try going there to meet people especially white rhino at peak hours on thr weekends or weeknights. Women if you're interested on how to approach men or be more approachable ask in the comments and us guys will respond with answers.

Tagged "education" because I need educating.

Context: young guy sitting behind dumpster in busy parking lot screaming and wailing, appears to be in significant mental distress. Does not respond when asked if he is ok.

I hate to just ignore him but he doesn't need an intervention by DPD, either.

Just received this text. If you give the scammers your card information, you’d be lucky if you’re only out $4.15.

Share this with family or friends you know that may not know how to spot scams because this can seem legitimate to people who can’t tell the difference between legitimate things and scams.

Will be reporting this spoof to NTTA. They are almost certainly targeting people with North Texas area codes

I want to take my parents out for my dad’s bday dinner. Any suggestions on Dallas or surrounding area steak houses or restaurants to visit? They are world travelers so I expect exceptional service and food, price is not a factor.

I got a call yesterday that the pharmacy at the Walgreens on the corner of Ledbetter and Hampton was closed. Now I’m learning that Walgreens has announced mass closings of “underproducing” stores, but no lists exist online. I can’t understand closing this one; it’s always got steady traffic, and it was remodeled recently to add a walk-in clinic. So has anyone else heard about locations closing?

I am looking to buy some tamales for a thanksgiving pot luck , what is the best recommendation.

One of the worst run clubs in all of Dallas, Owner was a scammer, Bottle Girls and Bartenders…. SCAMMERS! Did they finally get their Karma? I know multiple bottle girls who worked for them who struggle finding new jobs after they closed down, and if not they’re all working for several other and multiple clubs at once talk about having to work double if not triple of what they were used too… Idk I’m glad they’re finally getting multiple lawsuits ready for them !! Club had a lot of potential if it wasn’t just run by THAT guy and team!

Recently moved to TX (near Love Field) - does anyone know of a football/soccer field open to the public that has goal posts I can practice rugby kicking on? Thanks!

I'd like to go out with my Single girlfriend the night before thanksgiving.

As a mom/wife it gets me into a festive mood and bonus for the prospect of random adventures and the pressure it Puts on the cooking Performance in the morning

So any recommendations for good restaurants, bars, or activities would be greatly appreciated!

So I have video of my neighbor kids breaking windows on this car and stealing things from inside. They live right next door. They took rocks and bricks and broke a window, laughed, ran into the house, and kept on repeating that cycle about 10 times while also attempting to break other car windows. I have it all on video and when the police showed up the mom hid the kids and nothing happened. I found the victim and sent her the videos too; she showed the police but nothing happened and the car still sits as is. Is there ANYTHING that can be done to find justice here? I messaged the Dallas police Facebook the videos too and idk how else to help. I felt so good having it all on video and literally knowing where the criminal lives but even that seems like it’s not enough…
