I'm flirting with a guy who is a few years younger than me, but I've always dated older men.
Is this weird? What should I look out for? (I'm 30 and he is 24)

No, not weird at all, enjoy, lady! The only thing that comes up for me is if you want kids, but thatā€™s if you are thinking of this with long term potential.

Iā€™m dating a younger guy, basically same age difference. I would say you have to keep the kid thing in mind and be accepting and aware of some things that will be diff. For example my bf is not in a career job, still has to Finish school. While I am the more ā€œadultā€ I have to accept and embrace his youth and not rush him to settle. Instead look at it as a way to bring my age down (age in behavior anyway). Reap the fun benefits of my job like a great paycheck, WFH, travel, all while enjoying the free spirit of acting 24-25 while Iā€™m actually 28. Itā€™s been so fun, and of course also challenging. Been together 6 years

Not bad, but in my experience most young guys donā€™t really know what they want. But hey, itā€™s a quarantine - flirt away. Just donā€™t share any pics. Also a request younger guys think is okay. Uh, yeah, no.

Depends on what you are looking for at this stage in your life. Keeping in mind he might not be ready for kids/marriage for some time. If you just want some fun, then sure

Hi fishes! Nagarro declined the counter offer letter ā‚¹33,00,000 + shares worth 4.5LPA

Nagarro offered 18LPA. Initially I told HR for 22 but he mentioned 18 into their internal portal to their senior so after clearing all interview rounds I got 18.

When I asked the HR, he told me to accept it for now and bring the counter offer letter so they can revise offer letter.

But now they declined. Weird.

Does it bother you when someone you care about won't let you treat them (like on special occasions such as birthdays and stuff)? I don't know why it's upsetting me so much, and I'm trying to figure out what the root of my issue is. I'm getting overly emotional about it. It makes me feel like I'm making it about me vs. them, which is not what I want to do at all. On the contrary, I want them to enjoy whatever I treat them to, but this is all backfiring because I can't control my emotions.
