I just want a big 🐻 to cuddle with and do monotonous activities with. Is that so wrong?

How’s the dating scene in Austin? Any advice for a single 30 yr old Male who recently moved here?

Anyone else expect there to be loads of attractive people when they started work and end up thoroughly disappointed?

Is it irrational for me to get an “ick” for this?

I went on a “date” recently. I paid for the tab as they were going to the bathroom. As we were leaving they said “thanks for lunch” — I was hoping they’d at least ask to Venmo me half as a kind gesture. Following lunch we grabbed dessert. I was hoping they’d offer to cover dessert since I covered lunch but it didn’t happen.

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?

May not be the right bowl but I need insights. Guy likes me and vice versa, was over at my place helping with something, had a huge erection but said or did nothing. I can’t figure out why..

29 M - Any one in Montreal for a relationship?

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

I thought having unprotected sex with my partner was the ultimate expression of trust in a relationship, but then I loaned him money yesterday. Far more nerve wracking 😬

For those of you in your mid-20’s, how often do you go on dates with your significant other? In a serious relationship for the first time since college and trying to gauge what folks consider normal for dating frequency (excluding nights in). Context - we’re 25, dating for 3 months, live 5 mins away from each other, decent WLB

What do you do when your date expects you to pay? I don’t mind paying for the first time, but it’s a bit of a turnoff for me. I also don’t want to set the expectation that I’ll be paying for the following dates.

I’m a female who lives with my SO. We’ve been dating for years and we fight a lot so it’s possible a breakup is near. Do you think it would be difficult to date while living with my ex as roommates in a 2br/2ba? We have a lease that’s not even halfway done. In other words, would a man be uninterested in a woman who’s living with her ex (but of course being appropriate after the breakup)?

No flex ZONE. Jk.

Thoughts on casual relationships? How to initiate? Be upfront in the dating app bios or go with the flow.

Anyone want to go on a date today? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I recently asked everyone’s age filters on dating apps and there were some mentions of fear of baggage and that’s why you don’t date older than X. What baggage are you afraid of? Ex spouses? Kids from prior relationships? What is it?

Starting at BCG in about a month. How have those working long hours able to find their SO? Should I give up on looking for an SO and try the toxic hookup culture? 23/M for reference.

Thinking this is the year i iA find someone, prayers for all of us single 🐟 wanting to take that next step!

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?

Anyone else’s love life so DRY that you find yourself having a crush on an older man at work who is in senior leadership? I keep it professional, but I feel like I’m doing something so bad by having this crush.

At work do you ever describe who you’re dating without using gender specific pronouns just to avoid finding out if a co-worker is going to act weird about it? Lol

CIPD vs. SHRM?

I am currently a medical biller and coder that just graduated. I am currently in an entry level position because I am still studying to get certified. I will have a year's work of exp in July and will sign a contract for another year because my boss is training me in more I don't know.

I'm wondering what the pay is for someone in my position without certification. I live with family and want to afford to move out but I am single and only make $18/hr. Is that standard or am I being underpaid?

My mental health has suffered tremendously over the past month. I have a therapist that I probably should see more of but I’m jobless and need to save. I am an aspiring entrepreneur with an inspiring business idea (to me lol) but my anxiety and depression is hindering me severely… fuck my brain. Any other founders here? It’s f‘ing tough.

Deal Lingo - I’ve seen a “Book of Banking Jargon” from L&Ws. Is there one out there for M&A? Also does anyone really know what dupe/duped means?! I use it not fully understanding it’s meaning. (Junior Tag)

Does anyone have any good books or podcasts about how to develop leadership/ managing skills?

Hi everyone,
So I had my NIPT and NT scans last week and I’ve been getting pieces of the results back from my doctor in the patient portal. All seems okay but I’m a bit confused. Does anyone know if FirstScreen is the same thing as NIPT? I was under the impression that NIPT was in 90th percent of certainty for Down syndrome but the result we got, labeled FirstScreen indicate 83% certainty so I’m confused if there are more results coming? I messaged the doctor but haven’t heard back yet.

Visiting Boston in a few weeks if anyone wants to grab a drink!

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?

Hey. Is anyone here from Capgemini? Looking forward to interact.

I keep watching Schitt's Creek reruns now and then. It makes me feel warm and mushy, but also super lonely. So tired of being perpetually single. I know it's been posted about here a bunch of times before but it still sucks. Venting and knowing you're not alone, helps a tiny bit. =) Also does anybody else thing Patrick is essentially just a 'too good to be true' fantasy boyfriend Dan Levy dreamed up and put on the show?

When you’re on a date, how do you explain your job?

I’m in SF but nervous to officially come out to my friends even though I’m sure they all know/assume anyway. :(

I need to switch teams or firms. Been here for a year and no development or projects with my team. Gay network help! Lol

I could be your next husband. Slide in my DMs to find out.

Anyone at the Q center today/this week?
