if a guy (senior) on ur engagement team asks you if you want to join him for one on one lunch or dinner during workday, is it a sign of interest or just being friendly?

Dear fishes - any and ALL situations like this could go both ways. Asking on here isn't going to help you gain the common sense to read and understand the situation you are in.
Could he want one on one time because he's interested? Sure. Could he think you're easy and he knows where one date could lead? Sure. Could he want to give you feedback on your performance away from the team? Sure. Could he just care about his staff and want them to feel included/appreciated? Sure.
People, stop trying to analyze everything.

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit). He has mentioned a few times that he’s worried I’ll get bored of him when I know he can’t afford the same things I can. I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc

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?

How do I politely decline that I’m not okay to make out in the first date or when the guy calls me over to his place after we meet/eat/drink?

We had this talk and she said that she doesn't feel desire, the times we do sex she said she do bc I started but after that she enjoy (She never starts)
Have anyone had similar experiences and overcome that? We really have few sex relations and this bothers me a little
