Hi Manager 1.
Send me a dm and let's connect .
Promise not to ghost you

Lol well yes and most of the women that have reached out here were married or engaged 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣

But I do have a story.

Out of a very casual group conversation here a woman DM’d me, appreciating my response. In a completely organic way, with no intent or expectation on my part (and I think her too) we fell into a DM conversation, honestly innocent and beautiful, I have re-read those first exchanges many times and it’s wonderful to see the gravitational forces bringing those two people together.

It became VERY intimate very quickly, taking us both by surprise by the speed and intensity and beauty. It deepened over days, and finally she said she was married (but obviously not going well). I didn’t care, she had become and amazing friend and 2000-mile apart lover. It’s funny but it became one of the most nourishing relationships I ever had and I think her too, we marveled over that. Eventually we starting talking live, eventually had a run of talking every day for 6 months! She was fabulous (is) and I do believe we BOTH got a lot out of our, transparency, honesty. She said it was a rare situation where she could fully be herself.

As for me well I felt trapped in my own situation, been long-term in a ENM marriage with a number of approved outside friends, and obviously this wasn’t great from my end, however funny she was in her own complicated situation.

We eventually met a year later, a few times, some of my best times but maybe by then she was just curious to meet me. I felt these moments deepened our relationship but I realized she was pulling away.

She NEEDED to do that, work on new long term LOCAL relationships as she got divorced.

She increasingly pulled away and it’s been almost 2 years since we spoke live though she said she was up to catch up.

I am grateful for every second. It was the right thing to move on, but I miss her tremendously and think of her 10++++ times a day, every possible trigger in play.

How are we even justifying sleeping with someone while you are still married?

I think the make or break is when they see what the other person looks like .

Yeah, physical attraction is likely a big factor behind some ghosting. And some folks get cold feet. It can be a bit intimidating meeting someone on an app like this. It happens. Doesn’t make it right, but it happens. Better to be upfront if you don’t think the person is what you’re looking for, even if it seems, feels, or is shallow.

Ghosted - exchanged messages, switched to text, made plans, he said he was cooking dinner and never wrote again 🙄

Story timeeeeeeee

Seems like everyone responds are F. This is weird 😂

I was ghosted, emotionally manipulated, and led to believe I was essential to their life—only to be blocked and discarded without warning.

So sorry ro hear about that. Send me a dm and let's connect. Promise I won't ghost you 🤞

Not this bowl but this app

Ghosted - had an amazing connection. Started talking about meeting up and poof - disappeared.

I’m available. 40 M. 5 11. Fit.

Not on this bowl, but I have ghosted by the same guy 3 different times! 😂

Is there a website that shares announcements of recent contract wins by federal contractors across all federal agencies?

Sometimes the leadership does not even inform you on the status of a submitted proposal unless we win the work. I get why they are doing it but it would be great if there was an external source/website that would share this info instead of us waiting around to hear from them.

Signed up for a matchmaking service a couple months ago after getting tired of the apps. And while I’ve been underwhelmed with their process so far, I finally have my first match date this weekend. Haven’t been on a date since pre-pandemic. And never been on a true blind date like this. Wish me luck.

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.
