I was recently talking to my friends about a guy I asked out. We're supposed to have a third date tomorrow, but I'm having 2nd thoughts.

There's nothing wrong with him. We have a great time when we're together. I just feel strange about being the one to ask him out. Don't get me wrong, he always seems up for it, but the closer it gets to the date, the more I want to cancel. I don't know where this anxiety is coming from. I used to be so excited for a third date, but now I feel "irritated". I'm starting to feel like a groupie!

Maybe it's my pride? Part of me is saying don't cancel. Another part is saying he's going to cancel anyway so do it before he does. Is this avoidant attachment?

Last week, me and my coworkers were talking about lunch and I mentioned going to my favorite wing spot to get some fries. One of my coworkers yells out "I would never eat there! It's run by Arabs!" I was freaked out cause she said it so damn loud and with such venom. I asked her what she has against Middle Eastern people, she then goes on a rant about how they want to "kill all Americans". Hello??? Are the lights on in your head?!!

I went to lunch yesterday with a coworker and we were talking about the sea. They told me they believe that the "real aliens" live at the bottom of the ocean. I explained that the ocean floor as multiple species that have adapted to their environment, but they are not aliens. This lead to us speaking about space. That's when they told me they believe the sun can fit in the ocean...

I asked if they understood physics and how mass works. Their response? "Yes! And I still believe this 1000%"

YOU THINK THE SUN CAN FIT IN THE OCEAN???? AND YOU MAKE MORE THAN ME????

My intelligence is challenged everyday here! I love what I do for work but I feel like I'm losing my sanity! I'm made to look like the bad guy when I tell people I don't believe in being friends with your coworkers, but look at the material!!
