Lol girl same! Bumble bff was so much work and I feel like all of the connections just fizzled out. It definitely highlighted the stressful parts of dating 😅

Yesss, i have been looking into joining some social clubs but my social anxiety kicks in looking at too many people and even that makes it demotivating

I made friends going to meet ups in a Facebook group with women more in my demographic. Bumble BFF and meetup never worked for me. I still haven’t figured out dating - 26F and worried I’m going to end up alone 🥹

I can totally understand your pain! But there’s always someone out there for everyone.. so hopes are high kinda lol

What do you mean by bad experience? As in you just didn’t click with the people you met?

Only a handful really. And then it just seemed like too much work for disappointment

What is Bumble BFF? That’s a real thing?

Yeah it’s a real thing lol, you can switch the traditional bumble app to friend mode or professional networking mode. BFF lets you set up a profile and such like a typical dating app, but the prompts are more friendship related and surrounding hobbies and such

Hi there!!

🥰🥰
I just want to say that I'm queer and married, in a Cis-hetero passing relationship 🤭

Do we have to talk about dating like all the time?

Can't we talk about other stuff? Like promoting THE AGENDA (jk)

No, but FR let's talk about being open and accepted in the workplace? How did you do that? How (un) friendly is the work environment?

Thankyaaaaaaaalll 😘😘😘

I went on ONE date with a guy that lives next door months ago. He told me he eats out every night and tips his doordahers poorly. That was a red flag, so I never talked to him again. Anyhoo, I bumped into him tonight, and he cussed me out so bad at a CVS. I’m confused as to what I did wrong?

I’ll start hooking up with someone with no intention of dating them because of red flags, but if the sex is good I want to lock it down for the future (even if we are not compatible in our personality, I’ll start to see them in a positive way and flirt more since it makes the sex even better)! The guy starts to think I want a relationship (which is half true) and then distances himself. Anyone else go through this cycle?

Hi all! I’ve been dating my bf for about 4 months now and there are some things he says/is into that make me believe he is either Bisexual or has gender dysphoria.

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?

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.
