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.

Do you think you and your significant other should have similar personalities? My significant other and I are doing long distance and I feel like when I FaceTime with him, I emote more and show interest by asking more questions but from his end, he doesn’t always have a reaction or just nods, and it makes me feel like he’s uninterested. On his end he sees it as he’s comfortable.

Need advice and help.

I have realized I grew up in a household where my dad did not treat my mom as an equal. He belittles her, is rude and convinced his way is the only way.

It is painful to say, but some of this shows up in me and in my relationship. I am starting to catch myself, and it to me seems to be more of a reaction than anythjng that is ever intentional.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar, and any success in making changes besides therapy. Cont. in comments

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F
