On the plus side, you can view it as those who are actually willing to FaceTime are likely interested in a real relationship over a hook up. can use this as a period of time to weed out those who aren’t as serious. Just a way to look at it as the glass is hall full :)

I'm usually one to only chat on the app for a few days max before I want to meet in person and see if there is truly chemistry, but obviously that's not possible! This situation is helping me weed out the guys looking for hookups (I'm not sure about you but I'm still coming across idiots trying to "quarentine together") and the good conversationalists who are actually somewhat invested. It's definitely keeping me busy and challenging me to come up with good conversation topics, too. I'm enjoying it!

I'm setting online dating to the side for now.

As someone who hates spending time on the part of communicating (call or text) with someone I'm not sure I have a connection with, which only happens for me in person, it's just not an enjoyable process.

Is it ethical for an old job to reach out to you because they’re being audited and want specifics on a case that’s 2 years old?

*Sealed Classes in Java 17*

The sealed class allows one to describe which class or interface can extend or implement this class or interface. In short, we can put restrictions on who can use this class or interface. Suppose we have Student abstract class and if we make it a sealed class and permit only ScienceStudent and CommerceStudent to extend the class, then only those classes will be able to extend the Student and other classes will get an error if they try to extend it.

I just transitioned to a new role in a newly created team where I’m basically building the team (startup). I’m working with two execs who I like and have a lot of background with but I’m still really overwhelmed at the lack of structure. I feel like I could just wrap myself in circles. There’s so much that needs to be done and I feel like I’m drowning. Has anyone done anything similar? Any advice?

Hi ladies! Need your opinion and advice on a slightly awkward topic
I recently started dating this guy. He is really good in bed (well endowed, good stamina, great foreplay, etc). But he doesn’t cum after sex. Our sex routine normally ends at either of us getting tired after a long run but not him cuming. We’ve been together for the last 4-5 days and have done it many times (early phases of a relationship). And he came only once.
Is this something I should be worried about? Does this mean

I’m dating someone new and it is going very well. He is kind, not high strung, with great values and shares my sense of humor. It is so easy and natural to spend multiple days with him.
Still I am having doubts because I think he isn’t very “intellectual”. To be clear, he’s intelligent! He is a great STEM role that requires an advanced degree. We share a love of reading as well. However he is not really interested in world affairs, does not follow the news closely, does not have a strong grasp
