People do drift apart over time. It's just natural. You grow up, move away, get different interests, make new friends, etc. Sometimes the relationship becomes one sided and one person is making all the effort. At what point do you...

amylan I have been to quite a lot concerts by myself, but they were all classical ones or even opera, so being alone seemed not strange at all. But if it's a pop or rock music, I guess maybe it could be a little wierd as It's supposed to be a part of hanging out with...

amylan It totally depends on how i am charged for the service. Usually in France the bills of restaurant have already automatically counted in 15% service fee, namely the tips, so I don't leave any changes more than 1 euro except they really provide me exceptional...
