Because of personal passion about my job, and a gnarly workload, I realized my mind “has taken the path of least resistance “ by deprioritizing my dating life so I can maximize my professional life. When I reflect deeper, I realize that I’m equally bored and stressed out about dating. I think this reinforces the behavior of checking out and focusing on work. How can I change my mindset here? I want to find balance my professional ambitions while finding excitement and courage when dating.

Do you have a desire in your life for a partner? If you’re independent and don’t get lonely, dating may never be a major priority for you. If you do feel lonely, use that to reinforce your excitement about dating.

You can also divert more energy away from work and into your personal hobbies or friendships if you simply want to be less work focused.

How do you know if someone likes you in the beginning of dating? I met this guy online who I thought was cute and we went on a few dates. He always texted me right after the date and always initiates another date right after or within a day. He’s been sweet to me (ie when I was packing for a trip, he noticed there’s dirty dishes in the sink and he just started washing them for me) but he never texts in between dates and doesn’t really initiates much physical contact (he reciprocates when I do)

Do you guys have a height preference? I’m talking to this guy who’s really sweet and I really like him but he just told me he’s way shorter than me(4-5 inches) and I don’t know if I should continue talking or just end it here. I always go for someone taller. I don’t care about physical appearances much but Idk if I can get over the height difference of this magnitude

People, I need dating advice. Based in a very conservative European place (just keep in mind). Have been here for more than four years now and didn't manage to have a relationship since then.

Any advice on what has been a successful dating strategy in your early thirties?

A question for the guys: was this a date?! Ran into a guy I knew in college at a bar, he technically asked me out (“we should get drinks sometime” etc), then paid for my drink. But as we were saying bye, it felt kinda platonic? Like just a hug and “good seeing you.” Or is he not interested? How often do you kiss on a first date?

Hi Everyone!

Not that I am planning to relocate anytime soon but wanted to have your thoughts on which country you think is a safer option to relocate to?
Earlier I was interested to move somewhere in Europe but with the whole Russia and Ukraine situation and now possibility of Sweden and Finland joining NATO and Russia telling them not to, I don't think Europe might be a good option in the coming years.
Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
