i did this in college to my ab*ser (mental, emotional) i knew i had to get away from him but it was difficult in the circumstances plus his parents had just become private plane-level rich and it was right before christmas so why not milk it through valentines day

likesmart

i got to check out the plane! but by the time they really got to use it, i was so repulsed by him i had absolutely NO desire to travel w him. thankfully i was able to get out not too long after :)

Yes. I have totally done this. I was a promo model and the guy I met was the VP of Finance in the hospitality industry. He paid for trips to AZ, manicures, massages, housewarming gifts, my Burberry trench, LV bag…. And no, I did not sleep with him. Not even a kiss!

likeupliftingfunny

Was the guy old and married? Cause I can’t see a single man do all of this without a kiss or more

M&C3- fair question, I’m usually the one carrying the conversations. I love meeting people, am great in person and have a fairly full social and travel calendar, at least, I did pre-pandemic.

I caught feelings during the pandemic (it’s mutual) and am getting married this summer.

Even now, I’ll run the nap test. If a date/event feels like a chore, we stay in. There’s no shortage of things to do at home.

I’m interviewing with the company although I have offer signed with another (going though background checks, so didn’t wanna stop before knowing 100%). Really love the process and the team, but unless something goes sideways with signed offer won’t be joining them. I have a colleague who is probably even better fit for the position, I know that she will enjoy the team too and would be happy for a chance to interview with them. How do I approach this?
