I hate the point in getting to know someone, where I wonder if they’re enjoying my time or just see me as a fun way to pass the time & never see it going anywhere. I’ve been playing it cool for a while but cuddling feels so bittersweet now. Used to bring me comfort, now it just makes me sad.

I’m not sure if I’m overthinking this but I (25M) have a feeling a friend(23F) is hitting on me. Whenever we hang out she’ll get really close and keep touching/poking me whenever we need to turn corners, cross the block, etc because she’s the navigator. When we sit next to each other on the bench she’ll be up on my personal space up. Just a lot of shoulder to shoulder touching. I had other female friends this touchy as well but I wouldn’t think anything of it because some people are touchier 1/2

I’m a single 29 year old guy and I’ve been staying with my parents through the pandemic. Still have an apartment 2.5 hours away from my parents so I go there once and awhile to chill by myself. Every time I go to my apartment I realize there’s nothing in this city for me other than my job as most my friends are in my hometown or elsewhere. I just sit in my apt alone and end up drinking and missing my family. Anyone else experience this? Should I just move back to my hometown despite...

A girl (she’s 22/23) in my condo is showing keen interest in me. I’m 31M, single and feel this will be a disaster to proceed with. It’s not like that I hate her or something. I just never thought about her.

Also just recovered from a bad breakup after 7+ years of relationship.

I love watching my 3-year-old's engineering hacks... he wanted to pet the cat so he built a fort out of pillows and waited, now the cat's purring on his lap and they're both asleep

I have ptsd and it sucks. Not all the time, but man have I been going through something rough. Could be hurting my newest relationship 😔

For the older 🐠 out there. Have any of you successfully re-dated an ex and end up getting married? Haven't talked to an ex in 2 years and really hit it off.

I’m feeling so depressed. My project is remote and I hate it but no way out. Looking for a new job. I just moved out on my own after living with parents, but now I cry all the time even though (contd)

Anyone in Southern California who wants to be accountability partners and work out together? I do better when I have a friend to keep each other in check.

How difficult is it to be a single parent? (Soon to be one)

I’m breaking up with my GF of 3 years today.. going to be a tough one.

Would it be weird to send my ex a goodbye letter in the mail? He leaves for a military deployment soon for almost 1 year, and I generally care / miss him.

I’m 28 and just moved to San Mateo with my SO. Any suggestions on how to meet new people/get connected in the community?

16 weeks and so worried all of the stress I’m under is going to hurt the baby. Between work, my own scary (non-pregnancy) health stuff, the pandemic, my mom (who is a widow and lives alone, basically isolated by choice due to covid) is having health issues, and pressures to keep billable hours up, I’ve been having complete breakdowns. Today I spent almost the entire day crying and now have to make up the billable time this weekend. I really worry abt what effect this will have on the babe.

People with kids, how much do you spend on daycare?

How soon after marriage do guys start demanding kids? Asking for a friend

Would you be upset if your SO showed up at your house without an invitation but knew you were going to be in the neighborhood?Even if you weren't expecting them, would you leave them outside knowing they were there?

Anyone in California familiar with SB 9 and 10. Curious if you lot split a single family home that is currently zone multi-family as when I was reading the bill it said it was for single family. Just wondering if anyone might have any insights from their research. Thanks!

Does the world outside consulting also have :

Networking and playing politics to establish your brand?
Endless compliance trainings
Multiple performance cycles in a year
Independence and restrictions with how you/your spouse manages their finances?

Happy Monday!!! Have a great week everyone.

Currently working in product management for a SaaS firm, and want to break into finance- preferably within wealth management (investment related role, preferable not as a quant or middle office). What pathway could I take, give me both options, including and excluding B-School.

What I’ve considered:
1) transition to consulting and from there to IB
2) B-school to desired industry
3) go all guns out trying to get into IM directly

CFA L2 candidate. How else could I position myself?

CAIA or CMT?

I do institutional sales for an asset manager. Am graduating in the fall with an MBA from a top 40 school. Would like a designation but dont want to do the CFA.  Between the CAIA and CMT: which one is more applicable to asset management, and better status/recognition? appreciate any insight

Has anyone taken the CAIA ? Any tips ?

Does anyone know what the approx. TC range is for investment analysts/associates at ARK Investment Management? Any other feedback from people you know who work there?

Spoke with a friend for like 8 straight hours and I’m slowly beginning to think my friend is a narcissist

Should I quit my job before I have another one lined up? Really can’t take it anymore

I saw that the Warner Bros. Discovery group has started with massive layoffs over at CNN. Is any job safe right now?

What are some good books to read if I want to learn how to better show up for the team as a manager?

2 days late, negative on the test. Why is my body being so difficult? Just let me period so I can start the next cycle. Ughhhhhhhhh

Started a new job > made a simple post on LinkedIn > colleagues and friends congratulated you.

But some people didn’t click “Like” or responded but bothered checking my profile page for whatever reason. I shouldn’t care, but it’s kinda a bit annoying.

Those some people include my *ex* boss.

Seriously how can a person become a deeper person not merely logical!

I get triggered by all the carb haters out there. I’m not bashing keto or whole 30 or whatever other short term diet you’re into but stop telling everyone carbs are bad for you, the root cause of weight gain or that they should be eliminated from your diet. A well balanced diet includes healthy complex carbs. Do your research people.

Kinda bored, anyone wanna chat?🙃

Trying to spend more time alone but it’s hard on a sunny Saturday afternoon

Sadness.
Dan Wieden passed away. To those that don’t know, he is the reason we “Just do it”!

Anyone here ever gotten laser hair removal on their faces? I (M 24) just don't want facial hair and don't think my tastes will change anytime soon, but I have to massacre my face with a razor every 1-2 days to not look like a bum, despite taking pretty good care of my skin otherwise. So I feel like if I didn't have hair growing on my face, I'd save like 20 minutes each morning not shaving, my skin would be better, and I'd probably be a bit happier. Has anyone tried this, and what's your report?

The relatively small town I grew up in is now majority immigrants, and I wish there were a good, less fraught way to talk about the fact that while I love the vibrant multiculturalism that exists now, I mourn the loss of the unique culture that existed during my childhood

I have my Masters in HR and my PHR but I don't think HR is for me, or I may not have the confidence for this role. I want to quit my job and live off my savings which can hold me over about 6 months, but then what??

When I get deliveries, I always ask the delivery person to “just scribble” instead of a signature as it’s not good for either of us to be touching their screen. I then ask “ha how did you know what my signature looks like?” Always puts a smile on their face 🤣

I just watched return to space and I cried when the crew made it to the ISS. More respect to the Space X team ❤️💙

How do you and your new gf text? How frequent

My best friend set up a date with me and a guy who’s a crazy multi-millionaire and I’ve been leaving him on delivered all day because he sent me a nude on the first day of us talking… and that’s just soooooo boring 😩 Like been there, done that, what’s new 😩

Awesome sex with wife of 8 years to end a horrendous and hard week - I guess not everything sucks 😜

We had new neighbors move in across the street a few months ago. A couple with a child of about 7 years old who clearly has a cognitive disability of some sort (I suspect autism). I’m becoming concerned about him. He seems to spend a good amount of time alone outdoors. He often flags down passers by to chat. I thought perhaps his parents kept an eye on him through the window, but today he was hanging on a neighbor’s front stoop for a good half hour. I went over to talk to him and see if (con’t)

An acquaintance of mine posted an IG post with her Venmo asking for people to send her money directly for her to buy herself a birthday present (a concert ticket). It’s super off to me, but there are enough people who seem ok with it that makes me question myself a little.
