I’m in a bos/nyc LDR with my bf of 1.5 years. Covid has made things difficult as he’s extremely cautious about travel and is much more ok with virtual hangouts than I am. He’s also thriving during quarantine with new hobbies/free time while I’ve been struggling missing him and feeling like a downer. We both have flexible WFH jobs, but feel it’s too soon to move-in together. I’m really struggling with toughing it out given there’s no end in sight. Any tips for finding clarity?

Agree with A1. But would suggest starting with maybe a week or 10 days if y’all are squeamish about moving in. And if while you’re there (or he’s with you) you like it.... then stay longer.

I think it’s a 4 hour drive, so just drive to mitigate his concerns about travel

Ask if you can come stay with him for a month. That way there is an out of things don't work out and you can frame it as a "much needed vacation" from your current location.

My company is in need of a update online, could use your opinions! We need to better showcase our culture (caring, supportive, fun, intelligent IT industry leaders) as well as diversity. We are predominantly white still but making strides to improve here. What’s the best way to approach? I don’t want to seem disingenuous or that we are singling out our diverse employees (asking for photos). We have a remote and on-site workforce about 350+ EEs. Non white EEs make up about 35% of the company rn.
