Best coffee shops for a first date in Lincoln park, old town, or river north?

There are too many men out there who think that just because I'm being polite, it's a sign that they should flirt with me while I'm at work. I thought this was 2022, why haven't we as a society gotten past this yet?

What's the cringiest word you've ever said in a sext? I'll start: panties

Accidentally left my apartment door ajar… realized it while I was in my front bathroom, peeing, and I heard brand-new Neighbor Guy in the hall. Jumped up mid-stream and verrry softly closed closed my door… Neighbor Guy SLAMMED his in response. 😳😳
(It’s the slam that’s killing me… pretty sure that was meant like, “ Fuck you, you careless, disgusting little URINATOR!” I’m on month two of a two-year lease, so fuck me indeed. 😭)

Kinda bummed. I’ve been single for 6 years (I’m 31 now). I live in ptown and talk to guys in Boston on tinder. Was talking to a guy for about a week who is my type. I asked if he wanted to FaceTime tonight and he said sure but caveated that he isn’t into long distance (ptown to Boston) and that we would most likely stick to chatting. Idk what’s wrong with me. Everyone tells me I’m a catch but guys I’m attracted to are never into me 😭 just needed to vent

For the people who dated throughout their 20s, do you feel you would’ve missed out if you met your future partner at 24?

Dating a girl - been going great. Suddenly she is saying there’s too much going on in her life (her mum is ill, doing dental training) to go to the next level, but that I’m a great guy anyone would be lucky to bag etc. At the same time she says she wants to stay in touch. I said for her to tell me if she’s not interested and we can leave it - she told me she is interested but the timing is wrong. I said ok let’s leave it - she said it’s my choice (despite inertia from her).what to make of this?

Anyone have to determine collecting consent- both affirmative and negative (obviously stop at the no)? Can not find any directive or recital in GDPR/ or upcoming ePrivacy to decide on this paradox! Ie. Collecting 'no's' is or could be an important record of stop/start consent.

Looking for case/precedent or thoughts!

Ever tried Googling or even searching legal dBases for consent? Man- I don't need spanking and consensual yes v no consents for sex!

Just went on a first date with a gentleman. Such a lovely time...great conversation. Until he walked me to my car. Stuck his tongue down my throat and looking to cop a feel multiple times. I’m now sure I’m going to die alone and having major itch to contact ex. 😥

I can't stop thinking about my senior manager. I don't have romantic or sexual feelings for him, but just keep wanting to impress him with work etc. I really respect him and treat him as a mentor,...

So I met a girl on muzmatch and we’ve been talking for a little bit now. I like her a lot but often find myself leading every conversation and her questions to me are usually, “what about you?” type of deal and never something that I haven’t just asked her. It’s not like she doesn’t respond but I get the feeling that she’s not into me as much as I’m into her. Thoughts?

Tired of dating... Just looking for a husband at this point. Anyone interested? 👀 I'm a very fit, very smart, 30F.

Recommendations on date spots in Boston?

25 F 🐠 anyone free for a drink in midtown?

Any of you folks stray (ie cheat) / currently straying in a relationship? How’d it happen? Why’d it go down? Did you tell, etc?

I know there are a lot of people here that are in an open relationship - for y’all: did it ever cross over into something more than just physical?

does anyone have recommendations for first date ideas around the LA area? 🙏 (trying to stay away from crowds and social distance too)

How do you check for red flags with guys on dating apps before meeting up? I can't tell if this guy is too good to be true or if I've just been scarred to the point where "nothing wrong" seems suspicious

Who is excited about first gay kiss in an Indian mainstream movie? (Watch trailers of Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan)
SO looking forward to the controversies it’s going to generate!

I keep running into mean girls at work and my social issues hold me back. Don’t know how to deal anymore.

I feel like a lot of straight guys would benefit from a woman friend reviewing their dating profiles to tell them which pictures to use.

Any F in Austin would like to catch up for a lunch over the weekend?

When is the cheapest time to buy furniture? Like which holiday sale is the best?

❤️💛💚💙💜🖤 Fishbowl love scores, go! No but really, meaningless as they are, it would be fun to have a leaderboard wouldn't it? Like even if was by Agency or title.

Thoughts on Creative Strategist title? Facebook uses it for a lot of their folks who came from agency world and held more traditionally titles. What do you think about the title and those who fit it?

What are the chances of getting a change in the project/client if I request for a change to my manager?
Tech consulting

Thinking of moving to a new agency. And want to be assertive about pay. 5 years of experience producing national broadcast spots. The job I’m applying for is running production for a small/young agency. Is $75k realistic for South Carolina?

What other firms are folks moving to from Accenture? I feel we're in a very tricky comp band which doesn't leave us with many options.

I’m going to quit in 2022. Posting here to hold myself to it. I was asked to work on a discrete project that shouldn’t take more than 4-5 hours which has now turned into me having to join a call with the client at 9 am the morning after thanksgiving.

Those of you with billable years starting Jan 1… how many hours are you at for the year (and year/group)

Hi, wats the process to shift from EY GDS to EY India. As I know someone in EY India who is leaving so I want to join for his replacement there but that requires going out of EY GDS. So can someone share whatever they know or have heard about the process

My Obgyn is offering weekly classes that range from “childbirth” to “infant cpr” and mom/dad “meet and greets”. Outside of the cpr one which seems important, did anyone attend classes and find them useful? Or did not attend classes and wish they had? The recommended curriculum is about 20-30 hours in total over 2-3 months which is a time commitment. Thank you!

Hi Fishes,

I have an offer of one company. Also selected in other company but for HR discussion they are asking me some documents including my current offer which I am holding.
Can I share the the offer which I am holding to them?

As a lifelong Republican and a Trump supporter since 2015, I am now switching my vote to Biden because of his VP pick. I don’t know what it is about her, but I can’t wait to finally vote for Kamala! This is real, by the way.

Do you feel empowered by brands today?

People with kids, how much do you spend on daycare?

Looking for a monthly parking pass around the fulton river west area (near the Jewel on Des Plaines). If anyone knows of a place that has availability or aren’t using their pass that I can rent, let me know!

Whenever I hear debates from the radical left and conservative right on gun control, it's always about Chicago being a war zone. It's crazy how far removed I am from it all in the suburbs. Kind of makes me feel a bit bad like I'm not really contributing to a better Chicago

Fishes, any recommendations for interior door companies?

How you guys feeling about the Bears this season?

How is commuting from Evanston into Chicago (the loop)? Specifically, if you don’t live in walking distance to the trains in Evanston is there parking at the train stations or is there a bit of walking from the parking to the trains? Just trying to figure out commute time if we I were to buy a house in Evanston not near the train. Thanks!
