Have a crush on my co-worker. He asked me out to go rock climbing one-on-one after we were texting for a while and I acted awkwardly when we went because I didn’t know if it was a date (nothing was explicitly said). Now I’m stuck in this weird limbo state where things have fizzled out but I’m re-reading texts and think he might’ve actually had a crush too and I pushed him away. Ambiguity sucks.

In my 40s, here in the larger NYC area for a couple weeks visiting family. Male, athletic. If anyone's interested in chatting (admittedly in a playful mood currently, so that's my current preference), drop me a DM.

Do you think it is easier to overcome cheating in a relationship that has or does not have children involved? Listening to an interesting podcast and would love to know peoples take on the topic

How many dates do you give someone if you don’t feel a “spark” in the first 1-2 dates but genuinely enjoy their company (I.e. talking and learning about them etc)?

How do I politely decline that I’m not okay to make out in the first date or when the guy calls me over to his place after we meet/eat/drink? I want to take things slowly & know the person before getting physical. Not everyone might like this but that’s what I am & this whole thing appears off-putting.

Saw a post in the confession bowl so I wanted to check this bowl out. Any hot, smart, rich and single guys in this bowl?😁

Any single females want to grab drinks/dinner in the city?
28M for reference!

Started talking to this guy through group a group telegram and one day he offered to pay for my lunch as I had helped him out with something. Since then he has been offering to pay for my dinners, salon visits, shopping etc and I have accepted 3-4 times. I am in a steady relationship and my boyfriend doesn’t know about this. The other guy just says he likes paying for my stuff and there’s no agenda. Is this a little weird?

Here's an update re the matchmaking as promised - one (potential) match has been made! 😜😄

But not enough profiles to create more matches 🤷🏻‍♀️. There are some great candidates waiting to be matched tho but more submissions are needed.

Men in your 30s and 40s - what is the number one quality you're looking for in a woman? I like to think I'm compassionate, intelligent and independent (as much as any other woman), but I'm still struggling to find dates. I would say I'm attractive, and I take care of myself pretty well. What am I doing wrong?

I gained weight during my last relationship (probably around 30 lbs, and I’m 5’9”). Before my relationship, I felt like I could get any guy. But I’ve been single for 2 years now and it’s been so hard to date. I’m not sure if maybe I’ve lost confidence, but I legitimately don’t know how to get a guy to be interested. Any pointers?

Have been dating SO for over a year. Amazing person (thoughtful, kind, supportive) but couple blockers 1) I don’t know if I’m ready to settle down yet (30y/o) 2) We’re on different financial paths (have self made NW close to $1M vs $0); this puts constraints on trying to buy a place

I feel bad for feeling this way but wondering if these are valid blockers?

Any female fish want to grab a drink this weekend?

Is it just me or other people have also seen people hooking around near cricket ground in Infosys Pune campus.
In the afternoon and night shifts obviously..

My GF and I are dating for 2.5 yrs , She met an office colleague (he has a GF) recently who she initiated a friendship with. I feel that they interact a lot and I'm a little worried of her getting too close to him. A day ago she asked him for lunch and they were out for almost 4-5 hrs. When I expressed how I felt she keeps saying there's nothing going on. I feel that when start to get emotionally close to some other guy than SO then it's not a good sign in relationship. Am I overthinking? contd.

Have any of you started using a virtualized platform (WVD, AWS, etc.) environment to virtual offer full computer access and specialized software for your scholars regardless of their home device? (Expensive, but very beneficial!)

Anyone here had success in purchasing a book? If so, would love to hear about transaction and how it went.

From a financial standpoint in this market, which would be a better approach in Austin -

1. Buy a ~8-850k house that meets most of our ideal criteria (size, schools, interiors etc) to stay long term

2. Buy a ~5-550k house that’s not ideal with the plan of moving into an ideal home in 4-5 years when kid is ready for school.

How easy is it to get a mortgage for the second home?

Household income - 300k

Happy to add more details as needed

Thanks

Hi , is the Gym in sab labs Bangalore opened? Also will be open on Saturdays?

My career goal isn’t to make it to MBB or a unicorn or FAANG. It’s to feel fulfilled and challenged as I progress. I can’t be the only one that isn’t title or company chasing.

Motivation to work: non existent. 🙂🙃

I know absolutely nothing about football (or any other sports). I’m up $360 on super bowl bets. Spent the second half of the game watching a drag show. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I broke up with my EX mainly because the relationship with my child and her was not the best, it sucks but I have to look out for my child, So far I am able to do the things I can do now. It is not the I am not Hoeing around but the simply fact that I can hang out with friends and go watch my son play baseball is a great feeling now. I feel at peace now, in somewhat of pain because of the breakup but I am at peace now.

I feel some OPs are using people as free therapy in this bowl. Just saying, although I'm happy to be a free therapist.

This guy Elon is hilarious. Trolls everyone, sleeps with people's wives.
When I grow up I wanna be just like him.
Even roasting other billionaires like Bezos and Gates.
I always thought to reach to the top you'd have to act a certain way, but this guy simply does what he wants and does not care.
