It sucks. I will say since you're a dude I'd hope it'd suck less for you, as a woman a lot of the dudes popping up are in the navy (aka expect you to want to move w them when they transfer again, been burned there).

Are you in actual Jax or outskirts? Actual Jax has a decent amount of women in nursing, banking, logistics etc just looking around my friend group lol

I'm not sure what else I did other than being respectful and not giving flip at the same time but (4) mature ladies in my office flirt with me every chance they get. Some of my M colleagues are beginning to notice and giving the prod. I must confess it comes with some perks as I do appreciate how fast they process my requests/orders which a M colleague literally told me is biased. Recently one of them offered to bring me her cooked food and asked that I do the same..(Cont'd)

Haven’t done the dating thing in a while so need advice! (F here) Met a guy at a party on Sat, followed each other on insta, then I dm’ed him my number saying “lmk if you want to get drinks sometime”. He then texts me and says something along the lines of “yeah let’s do it” but doesn’t offer any concrete plan. Does this mean he’s not super into it? Or am I overreacting and I should initiate the plan? I initiated the insta follow and the dm so I feel like it’s his turn…?

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭

It’s a crazy feeling for someone semi close to you, to of “been in competition” with you. For years. And you’re just now noticing. Like, girl. Is that why you act so conversationally constipated from time to time? You’re just a hater? 😂😂
