Date a single dad

I would actually recommend NOT listening to words, but looking at actions and whether those actions are consistent over time. There are plenty of men willing to promise you the world early on without actually meaning it. Or maybe meaning it in the moment, but not having the capacity to live up to those words.

That being said… girl, are you sure you want to be doing this? I feel like approaching dating from this angle has the potential to end very poorly.

Ask upfront

Yeah and they fabricate answers

If he’s got a dad bod he might be a good father figure.
Jk. Honestly, probably the same way anyone does—have the conversation early. The right guy won’t hesitate if he knows what matters to you. Trust your instincts, set the right expectations, and stick to your plans.

I think the question should be, how do you ensure YOU want the guy to be a father figure?

You can ask, but also, you need to look for consistency over time. You won’t know a man’s true nature until months into a relationship

Any EU attorneys who went for an LL. M. in international commercial law (or other) in Europe?

If so have you found it "worth" the year of your time? I am currently working at a firm that specializes mostly on commercial law and has a lot of foreign clients. I have some options regarding the possible LL. M. One of them is little less prestigeous that would allow me to stay working at law firm as I am studying. The other would mean taking a year off work and pursuing the LL. M, Thanks for help

I’m job searching right now and applied for a job I was a little overqualified for just to shoot my shot and get my foot in the door with a great brand. The hiring mgr took the time to email me to tell me I was overqualified and offered to help me get connected to his network. He’s been so kind and helpful and I’m kind of in shock at his generosity. Even if an offer doesn’t come from it, is it weird if I send him a Starbucks gift card or something as a thank you? What’s appropriate?
