No, but I've had some really good conversations with men my age, and made a good friend. It's basically a bar. Take your earphones out, look up from your screen, make eye contact.

Also, just curious? Why are you having trouble meeting people in Chicago? I live here, and I feel like it's pretty easy to date here.

I am on a Monday - Friday travel engagement, I really don't go out much when I get back. I have dated at client cities before, airport dates could make travel much more fun, I think

@OP fair enough. It's easy to date here, but I don't do a lot of it for similar reasons.

I run into the same thing - I usually don't see anyone I want to approach in bars, or people are with huge groups

Friend did! She noticed his college class ring and struck up a convo. They got figured, dated and married.

Both companies have good MBA placement. What would you do?

For those who already have a baby - I (36f) just had a baby 6 weeks ago, and my wife (33F) is now back at work (WFH) and I’m still on leave. Since I have the baby all day and get up with her all night, my wife basically “takes over” baby duty when she stops working. The problem is that within an HOUR she has lost all patience with the baby. She gets frustrated so quickly if the baby is crying and will say things like “I’m just going to let her cry since nothing im doing helps” (cont)

Going back to work Jan 4 and my 3 month old won’t take a bottle. We’ve tried since she was 1.5 months and she just holds the bottle nipple in her mouth but she doesn’t suck.

For now, I’m ok with breastfeeding while working, but just in case with meetings and whatnot, it’d just be awesome if my husband could feed her.

Any advice? Is it possible to get baby on a feeding schedule that I could just put on my Google calendar as “pumping” time?

Hi everyone! I’m switching internally to my company’s LA office (from Boston). I only need to be in the office 1 or 2x per week and am toying around with the idea of living in San Diego and commuting up that one day. It’s likely be a 2.5hr drive or so each way, which seems like a lot. Can anyone speak to whether or not I’d go insane with that setup or if there are ways to make it more tolerable? I just have more family / friends in SD and would prefer to live there if possible :) thank you!!
