Removed also means distance, kinda. You might also say "I'm looking for a house somewhat removed from downtown", similiar concept. |

For "removed", you then go the other way. For each generation after your current generation, it's considered to be one level "removed". For example, your first cousin once removed is your cousin's child. You're still technically cousins with the kid, since your first ancestor are your grandparents. The "once removed" just goes the other direction. |

The rule is: Xth cousin-> last common ancestor. Grandparent is first, great grand parent is second etc. X removed-> generational difference. For ever generational difference, add another degree. Parent's/children's generation is once removed, Grandparents/grandchildren's generation -> twice removed. Note that you can be about the same age as your cousin once removed, if two prior siblings had children at very different ages. If my grandmother only had children at 40, and my mother again at 40, but my grandmother's sister had children at 20, her daughter at 20 and her daughter again at 20, then I would have a 2nd cousin once removed, who is about the same age as myself, but we would be seperate generations. |

Cute coworker split up with her boyfriend
About a month ago. So, what should the plan be? Her ex and her had been together for about 5 years which is an incredibly long time. Shall I give her some time and let her enjoy single life since she has not experienced it in a long time? Or should I try and make my move.
If I were to try to make a move, it may lead to awkwardness, but she is just a part time worker and only works a few hours every few days while I am a full time worker. |

I'd post this in the Dating thread.
As for your question, give her some time; she's probably not in the mood to think about that kind of stuff right now. It's not good to take advantage in this situation.

Every situation is different. Especially since every kind of job is different. Not to mention the people you associate with. I don't think you can just make a generalization like that.

Frankly, I'd recommend a dating service like eHarmony. Otherwise, her options are "church of choice", taking classes (either non-credit or credit), or annoying "friends fix up". Obviously, I do not recommend the random "bar hopping" option.
Crafts, hobbies, learning, activities - places where people with a known chance of like-minded tastes in something.... Several of my friends who have successfully found new companions in "after 30" life all used a dating/matchmaking service or activity clubs to narrow the search down.
