There are many versions between the original and the TMBG version and after. My personal favorite

In my opinion what you are describing is way too fast. If someone did that when dating me, I would run.

But I'm not part of your situation, so my opinion doesn't matter. What matters is that it works for the two of you. You are fine with it, so that's covered. So my only advice would be maybe check with him if he is comfortable with it. Or be prepared to deal with the consequences if he isn't.

I think it's Sinterklaas and it was English-speaking Americans who changed it into Santa Claus. Probably misunderstanding the origin.

It's not necessarily as simple as "just observe his behavior". Sure, if this is someone who dates young women routinely and on purpose, the guy might show obvious red flags. But even if his motives are "innocent", the dynamics with even much smaller age gaps are usually very unhealthy and unequal, at least in my experience and especially when one partner is not at least in their mid-twenties. Often it's something they only realise much later.

Definitiv. Für mich ist es weniger Freude und viel mehr Erleichterung, wenn die Grünen gewinnen. Die Alternative ist in BaWü ja leider die CDU. Und dieses Mal Hagel (brrrrrr). Dann doch lieber die Kiwi-Grünen mit den schwarzen Kernen.

I live alone, so have a group chat with several friends and family members with the sole purpose of me sharing my location whenever I'm going home from somewhere alone at night and telling them when I arrived safely.

There are of course many bigger reasons, especially if you look worldwide. But sometimes it's worth looking at all the small adjustments we have to do in our daily lives. Sometimes I just want to walk somewhere at night without listening for every car approaching from behind to check if it slows down when nearing me.

Guys refusing to take a simple No for an answer always makes me think of Elizabeth's refusal of Mr Collins in Pride & Prejudice and how little some things have changed in the last 200 years.

Do not consider me now as an elegant female, intending to plague you, but as a rational creature, speaking the truth from her heart.

Including having to bring a man in (albeit the father, not a boyfriend):

[...] determined, if he persisted in considering her repeated refusals as flattering encouragement, to apply to her father, whose negative might be uttered in such a manner as must be decisive, and whose behaviour at least could not be mistaken for the affectation and coquetry of an elegant female.

I have tried it several times and it really doesn't work quite as well. There is a group of men between those who respect my words and those who only respect my fictional boyfriend's claims that this approach is working on, but it's certainly less effective. Worst case you get hit with a "you just haven't been fucked by the right man".

As a younger millenial I can't help it – Gangnam Style was and still is great

AfD und CDU schicken bei mir auch zuverlässig Leute zum Einwerfen, die entweder nicht lesen können oder für die Regeln nicht gelten

Similar story: At the time of the 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean, a song called "Perfekte Welle" ("Perfect Wave") was very high in the German charts. It was taken out of rotation for a while but not completely removed.

 

Baden-Württembergs Innenminister Thomas Strobl (CDU) hat den Vorstoß seines Parteikollegen Arnold verteidigt. "Für den Schmutz, den man macht, ist man selber verantwortlich", so Strobl.

-- Stobl, putzt bestimmt ebenso wie Arnold jeden Tag sorgfältig sein Büro und alle Klos, die er benutzt hat.
