I’m talking to THE nicest woman, but I’m not sexually attracted to her 😭

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?

Late twenties M here. I like to travel, go on hikes and am pretty easy going. Any f wants to chat and see how it goes?

Almost said the wrong name in bed yesterday; caught it right at the moment - the low-key panic I felt damn 😳

Hi all, when do y’all think is a good time to have the “what are we”/“are we exclusive” talk? After how many dates?

Which city would you recommend for single men in late 20s trying to find good opportunities in career & dating? Leaning more towards to NYC but not planning to live in Manhattan due to the high rent so I am not sure that would be okay. Also don't want to drive that much.

Has anyone been to the Zoolights at the Zoo? I have never been, I'm relatively new to the area. Is this a good event for a casual walk around date night?

Should people wait till marriage to be intimate? If so, when should they get married? If not, when would it be acceptable?

Hooked up with a guy I really like in Montreal, too bad I live in the States :(

Moving to Boston from NYC and work in Cambridge. I’ve been recommended Back Bay, South End, and Seaport. Where do you recommend? Where is best for dating life?

Good ways to meet women in DC? I’m a 27/M if it matters.

Last night I slept over my boyfriend’s apt. We are sexually active together but this time he woke up at 4/5am and started fingering me and eating me out. I was somewhat awake but I don’t know how to feel about this. Thoughts?

What's dating like in SF? New to the area.

29M single looking to meet some new people and grab some drinks !

27 years M from suburbs Chicago looking to date

35F divorced with a kid. I think I will never get remarried or in a serious relationship again. Lots of men don't like dating women with children. At my age either the guys are past their prime, divorced/ing and have to provide half their income to their first wife. Many with kids live on the same street as their ex wives so they can be close to their child. I'm not comfortable dating guys like that. On the flip side there are the ones that were never married, which by this age cont

Poll on general attitudes towards open relationships? I’m in one and find that some folks are totally non-judgmental about it, while others are so vicious/rude about it. Curious about your opinions! I understand that every open relationship is different, and each couple defines their own arrangement/rules. For context, ours is a passive one that’s hardly acted on, but we both have Grindr and meet guys for fun on the very odd occasion (whether together or apart). If you’re in one, describe yours!

I’m a female who lives with my SO. We’ve been dating for years and we fight a lot so it’s possible a breakup is near. Do you think it would be difficult to date while living with my ex as roommates in a 2br/2ba? We have a lease that’s not even halfway done. In other words, would a man be uninterested in a woman who’s living with her ex (but of course being appropriate after the breakup)?

How long after you start a new job is it appropriate to take a vacation? And for what length of time?

If I didn’t have to take the MPRE previously but looking to waive into DC, when do I need to take the MPRE? Prior to applying or can I apply and submit my score following submission of my application to get the background investigation going?

How many billable hours per week is considered at capacity? I’m getting pushback on boundaries I’m setting about additional matters and marketing work from my firm when I’ve been billing 60-75 hours per week for the last 6 weeks, and I’m still behind on my work. I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.

Is it awkward to ask your second MBA recommender to be your additional reference for Sloan, such that they know that you are not using them as your 1st refommender choice?

For the context, Sloan only requires one LoR.

Also related, how often does Sloan contact the additional references?

What is the max package we can ask for band 8, informatica background? Have 1 yr exp on snowflake cloud as well. Total exp 12.

I got an email last night from a 7th-grade parent because her son said I mentioned the words "male privilege" in class, and she is very concerned about how that is related to ELA (she said "reading"), and she is concerned about this being taught in public schools. To be clear, I didn't do a lesson on this subject but we did discuss rights versus privileges. I've had multiple parents contact the school/get upset with me because of things like his. It's exhausting... Thoughts?

what is the % of appraisal you got today versus your rating. Is it correct that annual appraisal is always higher than that of mid term appraisal

During meetings, why do some people blurt out the first idiotic thing that comes to mind rather than taking a second to intelligently think through their answer?

Just tell me what you like and what you don’t ffs. I don’t want to have to “talk” about it.

I have an offer for a company abroad. Originally they wanted me to fly out and start the day after Thanksgiving (not celebrated in their country), but because of the holidays I suggested starting in either December or January with the ability to take some holiday days in December to fly back home for Christmas. They then proposed starting out remotely “as soon as possible” in the US as a contractor and then moving abroad to start full time abroad. (Cont)

What is your favorite holiday tradition/event to attend in San Diego?

To fellow Agency Producers. how often are you doing print producing, as well as video production? My agency doesn’t have a print producer in house, and I am finding myself doing that job + the normal video production of campaigns we continually do. I feel over worked and underpaid. Any advice or thoughts?

Hello Amex Fishes, I have an offer from Amex. If I get a better offer from other companies, Can I re-negotiate here at Amex? ( I have received and accepted the OL, accepted LOI 2 weeks back, and BGV has also started)

I’ve been dating a guy who’s in the process of separating from his husband. I’ve found it emotionally difficult that he is not available as much as would be expected - he has to sleep at home most nights, we can’t really have a social life together yet, our weekend time together is weaved in around his family obligations (they have a child), etc. How do I tell whether I’m being unreasonable or whether I’m in an unhealthy situation?

Carl Nassib 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Anyone ever had a relationship with a significant age gap (20+ years)? Queer women in particular, but interested in any experiences. Definitely not a sugar mama dynamic.

Thoughts on the term “latinx?” I see A LOT of straight “Latinos” reacting poorly to it.

I’m worried that my voice, communication style, and body language comes across as too effeminate for our straight clients and peers. I’m transitioning to sales now and am insecure that my personality and appearance may hinder sales gen? Client industry is very old school. Can LGBT partners//Ds/MDs chime in how they managed the same transition?

My brother-in-law (age 30) told us recently that he is transgender. How can we support him? (‘Him’ as we haven’t discussed pronouns yet). It was a surprise to us!

Really struggling today. Consulting is so lonely. Random hookups are fun and plentiful but afterwards, I just get more lonely alone in my hotel room. How does everyone deal with constantly being alone

things to do in Vegas? favorite restaurants, hotels, spas, etc?

Kinda bummed. I’ve been single for 6 years (I’m 31 now). I live in ptown and talk to guys in Boston on tinder. Was talking to a guy for about a week who is my type. I asked if he wanted to FaceTime tonight and he said sure but caveated that he isn’t into long distance (ptown to Boston) and that we would most likely stick to chatting. Idk what’s wrong with me. Everyone tells me I’m a catch but guys I’m attracted to are never into me 😭 just needed to vent

I’m in SF but nervous to officially come out to my friends even though I’m sure they all know/assume anyway. :(

Someone I’ve started seeing uses they/them pronouns. I’m trying my best but still feel like I make mistakes. When I want to address them is it ok to say how are you or should I say how are they?

Did Someone say jockstrap Friday?

Gay men think having a muscular body makes up for a mediocre career, lack of emotional or intellectual depth, and think they can pull dudes that have it all. Think again scrub 😌

I followed a guy on IG a few years back because I think he’s cute, he followed me back and even liked some of my pics. We never spoke but I got to know that he just passed away today because of cancer. Feeling super sad 😞, even tho we don’t technically know each other.
