Alright, so I literally just started dating apps for the first time and then I get asked out in person… Since I’m a dating app newbie, do you all tell your non-app dates that you are on apps talking to guys? Is that just a wait and see kinda thing? I’m 35/F if that helps lol

No. You’re single and owe no explanation to anyone. You, just like them, are vetting potential romantic partners. When you get to that point of knowing you might actually like the person and want to see where it goes, then you two will have to have that discussion…

As a guy I completely agree with this and the same would apply if gender roles were reversed. Being asked out on person is always the preferred way, right? Good luck!

You owe no one an explanation until there are talks of exclusivity and a mutual commitment.

You don’t have to explain yourself. But if it makes you feel better, you can be open about the fact that you’re seeing other people. No further details.

Well alright, that was easy lol. I’ve had previous friends and partners say it before and it felt kinda unnecessary. Looks like that’s the consensus.

I can ask you out outside of dating apps if you are in the Bay😅

I’ve been with my current company for a little over 5 years now and since the start of the pandemic have been WFH. I absolutely love WFH and have always wanted a position in which I could WFH. There is talk of bringing everyone back to the office full time and that’s not what I would like to happen. I’ve been searching for a new position in which it would be a remote role. My current company also said I am maxed out in term of what they are willing to pay salary wise.

Need advice. Very Shy guy and girl, met a while back for a side hustle both like each other a LOT, relationship has progressed in other areas but not in the physical realm, primarily because neither officially asked the other out. Guy is a very rough around edges, asked for a date by saying ‘anytime you need breakfast or lunch, let me know’. I am an independent gal and didn’t like the way it came across. I really want to take this forward but am out of ideas on how to make a date happen.
