Hit it off with a guy two weekends ago and we’ve been talking every day since but he’s fresh out of a long term relationship (one month) and I don’t want to be a rebound. Any advice?

Just be upfront that you aren’t looking for something casual but that you understand he just got out of a long term relationship and go from there. See what exactly he’s looking for.

Agreed. Just be blunt about it.

Was he the one who ended the relationship? Or did his SO did and it was a surprise to him. If the former sometimes people are long done by the time the formally end it.

We are moderated sometimes and I'm more worried about her getting in trouble than me for not abiding.

Hi, ladies. How long has it taken you to find a new job?

I’m currently on the hunt for a new job and I’m feeling really utterly defeated. Over the past year I’ve probably applied to at least 100 jobs and I’ve been on 8 different interviews all with no offer. I’m not sure if I’m doing anything wrong or if there is more being done behind the scenes that have nothing to do with me. Either way, I’m getting frustrated and my productivity in my current position is slacking as a result.
