The best luck I've had is crowdsourcing within my network. I have always found a friend of a friend looking for something and haven't had to reach out past that. My current roommate was someone I had been to a few yoga classes with and overhead me chatting with someone else. See if you can get the word out that you're looking.

If you have been here a while, do you have something you do in a group setting? Well beside work, maybe church, bike club, yoga, etc. finding someone is not easy, I don’t envy you.

I'd definitely start with your inner circle and work your way out from there. Post something on Facebook and see if anyone is or knows of anyone who is looking. I'd always rather have some kind of connection with someone than just take a chance on a random stranger.

Hello friends,
I wanted to share that I am in my first job as ui/ux expert and I am the only ux/ui person in the team. I am expected to take care of entire research and design of the product. It becomes very overwhelming as the product that I am working on is in a early phase and I am expected to think about ui as well as ux and also design entire app on my own.There is no user interview or user testing happening as my project manager thinks it can be done after product is launched. Please help!

I keep watching Schitt's Creek reruns now and then. It makes me feel warm and mushy, but also super lonely. So tired of being perpetually single.

Venting and knowing you're not alone, helps a tiny bit. =) Also does anybody else thing Patrick is essentially just a 'too good to be true' fantasy boyfriend Dan Levy dreamed up and put on the show?
