A girl (she’s 22/23) in my condo is showing keen interest in me. I’m 31M, single and feel this will be a disaster to proceed with. It’s not like that I hate her or something. I just never thought about her.

Also just recovered from a bad breakup after 7+ years of relationship.

I know this is a different kind of heartbreak, but I just had to make the difficult decision to go no contact with my parents after years of toxic and narcissistic behavior. It’s a weird feeling of immense sadness but also freedom. Can anyone else relate?

How would you fix dating apps?

After 21 days of no contact, he contacted me. He told me he was in town (we were long distance) and then he got drunk at a bar and kept trying to get me to meet him. I replied once and said let’s talk tomorrow. We got coffee, then coffee turned into drinks and we spent the night together. He left this morning. I said everything I wanted to say, got answers from him and told him where he messed up/how he hurt me and he held himself accountable. He told me he had a panic attack (continued)

What is something toxic you experienced in your family growing up but didn’t realize it until later? And how are you processing it?

I have pretty strong social phobia and am worried about making friends. I'm going to be working for an engineering company so I imagine I don't have to be really up on the latest trends or anything but how can I talk to people without making it sound unnatural?

I hate that I still want to hear from him. I just have no idea what I want him to say or what I want to say. I feel like if I get anywhere near him he’ll be able to sense my pain. Are we sure the no contact rule is only 21 days? I feel like I need 21 months.

Do guys talk about their girlfriends as much as girls talk about their boyfriends?

I've been with my gf for almost 6 months now. For context she's still in grad school (we have a 2 year age gap) and I'm struggling to feel physically attracted to her. I have a good job, decent amounts of stress, I like to work out, spend time with friends, and am very outgoing. She's super sweet, kind, sensitive, and brilliant. I find her attractive but I find the fact that she's always up in my business and available to me unattractive. She also just got an amazing job in another state (1/2)

I'm currently serving notice period and had taken some sick leaves. Now the supervisor has escalated this to HR on the grounds productivity loss and all. HR is saying the LWD will be extended to compensate those sick leaves and asked me to check with my supervisor as they can't do anything.

Can anyone advise on this.

Super curious to understand commission structures for those in tech solution sales. What’s your base comp? What % of GM hits your bottom line? I’m currently at 95k base, realizing 8% at an estimated 40% GM. Unsure if this is a competitive structure.

0 billable hours this week. I’m a recent corporate lateral (2 months) and have reached out to the work coordinator and other partners/counsel but still nothing - should I be concerned?

Hello! This is a long story, so I’ll try to keep it brief. I work for a very small supplement company - it’s myself (marketing/acct mgmt) my coworker (sales), and the owner. My coworker is struggling to complete his tasks/meet his goals, and the owner is coming to me about angry clients. I’m afraid my coworkers inability to complete his duties is somehow being reflected onto me? What’s the most tactful way to have a conversation, either with him or the owner? Can provide further detail if needed

I would appreciate any insight on management-side employment law in Dallas. I am a MLA at a large firm in LA pondering a move for financial/family reasons, but it doesn't seem like there are many open positions in DFW and I'm wondering if this area of the law is just not robust in Texas.

I (33M) got booted from Bumble for "promoting social media". I do not even have social media and I can't stand seeing Instagram or TikTok in a girl's bio - it's an instant turn off - so why would I do it?

Anyone have experience fighting a ban? Bumble was really the only app I liked.

We're about to start planning our wedding. I have a huge family and friend group (100+) that I want to invite and she has a very small family and group of friends (>50). We haven't talked about this yet, but I wanted to get some opinions on this before hand. Should I reduce the be l number of people I want to invite to match hers? Is it unfair to her that I'll have a significant majority at the wedding?

Has this ever happened to you that each time you meet your bf/gf , there is extreme nervousness from both sides ? It’s a good kind of nervousness (shyness , awkwardness) and almost feels like meeting someone you have known forever for the first time?

When did you move in with your partner? Is it a good idea to suggest this if they haven’t even told their family about me? I feel like the answer is no but we basically spend every night with each other anyways. Been officially dating for 5 months, less serious for just over a year now

A friend of mine told me I should have Narcan on hand for my boyfriend who does coke sometimes. I'm firmly against it. He knows I hate when he does it and I don't want the emotional weight of carrying it around in my purse. Like, if he's going to do that, he should carry his own damn Narcan. Am the asshole? She thinks I'm being cruel since it can be lifesaving and you can get it for free.

My husband seems to hate everything about me. He finds everything I talk about boring, and if I don’t talk, he calls me boring. I looked at my phone for 2 mins at a dinner and he started to scream at me for being phone obsessed. If I talk about work, he tells me I am pathetic. I am struggling to conceive and he keeps telling me I don’t care about having a family. I am so sad and exhausted all the time. What can I do?

If a person were worried that their fiancee could potentially be with them purely for monetary gain, would it be wrong to test them before the marriage? By test I mean have a third party offer a decent amount of money to break off the wedding?
