You're going on a one week business trip. Montreal or Toronto? Which City and why?

Montreal hands down. Richer history and way better night life IMO.

Can't wait until Netflix Canada get their head out of their ass and make season 7 availaeble.

Just get the showtime app, lots of free trials out there. Or use hola.unblocker

Yep...and while you're in there, binge Ray Donavan. Show is incredible...

Thanks. I've been to Montreal several times n love it. I heard great things about Toronto but never been there. I agree with you about the nightlife in Montreal. It's like Europe without the plane trip

I've been to Toronto quite a few times for work. Never really enjoyed it much.

More to do in Toronto

But Montreal, IMO, has better food and a great street. (St. Cathern's Street.

Toronto felt similar to London culture wise to me so Montreal tbh. I did love Toronto though.

Hey guys, some of you know me, I've been posting here since January and I feel a really nice bond between me and this online Celtics' community, I feel free to talk and I do not dislike or have any problems with the posters here. Since all that I come here to know you guys opinion about a situation I'm at. I'm 20 years old and I'm in the first year of med school, before that I used to take classes at a post-high school course for med school "SAT" exam here on my town and since the beginning of the year there's this girl that caught up my attention, we started to talk and be friends, but she had a boyfriend back on the town she lived in, she moved just for studying purposes. After a few months they broke up due to the distance, we all now that long-distance relationships don't last that long sometimes. I didn't want to be that guy that right after the girl is single he just jumps over her to try something, I took my time, waited a while until she was mentally free from the break up thoghts. 2 weeks ago there was a party at friends' house and I invited her with some others friends to join us, we all went and had some beers (here in Brazil you're able to drink since you're 18) and I got a little drunk. I told her everything I was feeling for her since the very beginning of the year. She told me she didn't want anything with anybody right now, she was still thinking about her ex and she just wanted to go back home to solve things up. She said we could be really nice together, but it's not the right moment for us, since she is still applying for the med school SAT and I managed to pass on it on July. I think this is the girl that I'm liking the most since I broke up with my ex in 2015. These days she had some kind of crisis and was really upset, I went to her home and stayed the whole afternoon with her trying to help and cheer her up, mission was accomplished, she was feeling better when I left there, but I wanted to be more than a friend to her... What should I do now guys? Should I move on or fight for her?

^^ Move on brother. If it was meant to be, it might work itself out down the track, but she has flat out told you she doesn't want anything at the moment, which is either true, or a way of letting you down gently. Move on, be 20. You'll likely want something different when you're 21, 22, 23 etc.

Neither?

If she doesn't view you as more than a friend, then she doesn't view you as more than a friend. If you get out of the friend zone, it won't be because you fought for her.

Or maybe she does view you as more than a friend? It sounds like you put her on the spot that one night.

Do you and give her time to breathe and if it's meant to be maybe it'll happen.

How long has it been since she broke up with her ex? More than two months? It was a bit unclear.

Here's my advice if it has been months since they broke up:

First of all, you need to figure out how you really feel about her. Could you actually remain friends with her? Would you even want that?

In my experience, I remain friends with roughly one in a dozen women I date (I'm talking about short term relationships here). Most of the time we just mutually agree to not hang out anymore regardless of who ends it. That said, some of my best friends are women I went out with once and never clicked with romantically/sexually and my best friend is a woman I who I was with for four years.

So figure that out, even if it takes you a few more weeks, and then tell her how you honestly feel again (when both of you are sober), and explain that you want to take things slow (a casual first date or something). If she turns you down or is vague, move forward according to the conclusion you came to regarding friendship. Cut off contact or remain friends and only friends with no expectations of anything more.

Best of luck, man, hope it works out for both of you in whatever capacity.

Edit: if it's been a month or less since she broke up with this dude I would just move on.

As 3D Chess said, move on. Continuing to push for something will get you nowhere and make you seem desperate(trust me I know from experience). If she really was genuine and not letting you down easily, the ball is in her court now. She already knows how you feel, so if she does decide she's interested in pursuing something with you, then she will make the first move. The biggest thing though is that you can't harp on it. Don't let your feelings for her get in the way of living your life.

Yeah, I've thought about that as well... I'm currently not talking to her for quite a few days, I'm giving her plenty of time and space to think all the things through and see what she really wants. I was thinking about talk to her about those feelings again during mid-december when all the exams are over and we're free to talk without pressure, but I don't know if that's a good idea.

Oh yeah, just to clarify I didnt mean it as a gender thing, I just rarely have enough in common with the random people I date to be friends.

Don't be friends with her. All or nothing. Pretty rare to escape the friend zone......and it sounds like you might have one foot in already. Don't waste your time by being buddies with her. If she wants to take it to the next level, let her make the move and have her call/text you. Hanging out with her like her lapdog isn't going to do much for you. Trust me. I wasted some of my prime years yearning for someone who had me in the friend zone.

Oof. Depends on where the hotel is, haha.

I'm pretty ambivalent on it, though.

Montreal has a much different feel to it, while Toronto too closely resembles US cities to be super interesting enough for me. I saw a game at Rogers Centre when I was there passing through, and didn't do much else. I prefer Ottawa, Montreal, and Quebec City to Toronto.

I think for me, I have been to Montreal a bunch, and TO, not so much. Toronto is also a much more diverse city, and I think I would enjoy getting out into the neighborhoods, if the trip allowed for it.

Vancouver **** on both.
