I was unexpectedly laid off as soon as my assignment ended. They said it was due to limited pipeline, but I’m seeing hiring continue (small consulting firm) which makes it hard to reconcile. It definitely makes you pause or did I piss off a partner?

WEEKLY DEAL THREAD: POST LINKS TO SHOPPING DEALS HERE - March 23

Haven’t done the dating thing in a while so need advice! (F here) Met a guy at a party on Sat, followed each other on insta, then I dm’ed him my number saying “lmk if you want to get drinks sometime”. He then texts me and says something along the lines of “yeah let’s do it” but doesn’t offer any concrete plan. Does this mean he’s not super into it? Or am I overreacting and I should initiate the plan? I initiated the insta follow and the dm so I feel like it’s his turn…?
