My wife has her joining date extended from Randstad and no joining date has been provided. What are the chances of her offer getting revoked. She has around 1 year of experience in HR. She got to know about this just on the last day of her notice period. She doesnt have any other offer as she didnt expect the joining date to get extended. Randstad. If anyone is open for hiring, please let me know. I can share it with her. Morningstar Tata Consultancy Accenture JPMorgan Chase Wells Fargo Infosys

Aww this is so pure. Don't stop applying for roles until you have an offer.

Same - i was exclusive with my wife after our first conversation 😅 i strongly believe if you really click with someone, you just want to hang out with them
You don’t know what your original dude is doing when he’s not with you so why not continue exploring til you commit? Life is short

Well an affair with a chat bot right😅

I don't get this and I'm gonna go against the grain here. You like this guy. Why not have the exclusivity talk with him? Who said it's too early?
And while others may say he might be seeing other people, guess what? Maybe he isn't! You found something you like, instead of going for it, you want to go against your feelings (and guilt) and go on a date with another guy. It's not like the first guys said no and you're trying to explore other options. I just don't get it.
Came to say exactly this. She will play the field, get her emotions confused, signal to the guys through action she’s trying to have fun vs. serious (which is nothing bad), and the guys will take the cue and treat the relationships with her as such. But then she’ll come back here and say things like “men aren’t serious”, “men are dogs”, etc. Where all that was needed early on was just to have a conversation, see where things stand with the guy she already like, and make a decision from there.
The US dating culture is absolutely bonkers. This whole belief is there’s always someone better out there and I have to keep my option set super open, is part why.

I dont get the US dating scene sometimes but I always asked for exclusivity early on

I agree - maybe we are just too old
If you and the first guy haven’t talked yet about being exclusive, it’s fair to assume he is seeing other people. If you go on a date with the second guy, you are not lying or going against any kind of agreement with the first guy.
I was in this same situation myself a few times- I ended things with one of the guys after things got more serious with the other one.
This is the way dating is supposed to work. That's what makes the decision to see someone exclusively is kinda nice and gives people that "Oooo" nervousness and warm and fuzzy feeling.

You should go and keep your options open. You’ll notice you don’t like the original guy as much as you thought 😂☹️
I see him still updating his dating profile😅 so I think he is still exploring options. I do feel a little hurt tho 😅
Thank you both! I will have the conversation when I see him tomorrow. It’s either go deep or go home 😅
