There's too many of us in this boat lol. I've personally been connecting with people online, and if we have similar interests, we plan a meet. It's not as organic as in college but it's been kinda working for me.

Mostly Bumble BFF.
If social platforms are not your thing, try saying hi to someone when you you are waiting in line for lunch or coffee. I've met some of the best people that way as well. And I like I said, a lot of people are in this boat - the person in line is probably looking for friends like you.

My friend just got out of a relationship and hooked up with his ex's best friend a week later. They're now dating and seeing each other everyday.
I couldn't help but feel like this wasn't an appropriate thing to do for both parties. He also revealed that he cheated on his past exes.

I'm naturally feeling a bit weary of his character and questioning whether this is a friend I want to keep close in my life. Perhaps I'm being too judgmental?

Any tips for hard launching partners on social media? For context, I’ve (Indian American female) been dating my white American boyfriend for 3 years and we just got engaged after two years of convincing my parents. They are very happy and excited now, but I’m scared shitless about being ostracized / judged by my extended family and Indian community in the US once I “let the cat out of the bag” on the engagement news. I want to be proud and confident about this but could use some moral support.
