How do 40ish single dudes meet women these days? I’m trying to help a friend who has never really dated, but I’ve been partnered so long that I think things have changed a lot. From what I remember most apps were a terrible experience from the male perspective.

Surprisingly, I hear linkedin is a great place. People are generally open to networking with others in their field and if a networking lunch turns into interest, terrific. If it doesn't, you still had a good chat with someone similar and of value.

That’s a really interesting idea!

How close to 40 are we talking? I’m asking because I think there’s a difference in how/where you meet someone in your 30s/mid-30s and early 40s. Early 40s seems to consist of a lot of divorced people who have less patience for a lot of the typical dating spots.

Let’s say turning 40 this December.

I know a lot of ladies looking in the DFW area. I hear Hinge is decent. DM me - I can invite your friend to a gathering.

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?

Setting healthy boundaries with family is HARD. Specifically a family that suppresses emotions, gets defensive, won’t talk out conflict, tons of gaslighting.

I’m just so exhausted trying to make it work with them. I don’t have many friends (hey pandemic) and it’s so, so lonely.
