I've never been a person to go on dates and have trouble accepting such offers. I feel a lot more natural in group settings and don't mind hitting it up with someone there and then carry it forward. Anyone else had this issue? What did you do? Really looking forward to meeting smart men who can appreciate Desi jokes in the 24-26 age bracket

Exact same boat from male point of view! The constant travel doesn't help the situation any better.
Most smart women I do end up meeting are taken, for good 😂
On the other hand dating apps and the constant feeling of putting yourself out there is draining.
I'm definitely not helping your case but wanted to say my eternal optimism is the only hope keeping me going on and I'm sure things will work out along the way..

Is this your way of asking me on a date OP?

Hey OP, where you based out off ?

You got the feeling exactly right ATK1! I couldn't have said it better.

Funny you mention Chicago @OP!
As much as going on dates may not be our usual thing message me at 910.fbowl@gmail.com if you would like to meet / talk.

Yoooo let us know what happens. Lit AF

🍿

The new dating app :)

See ATK1, you're being awesome but I'm having jitters and thinking million times about it. And feeling that it would be so much better if a couple others were there and we could all just grab drinks and stuff!

Again, exact same feeling! It may look easy on the outside where I'm asking you to message me (quiet frankly putting myself out here again), but I'm willing to take that shot.
Hey, every shot you don't take is a shot you missed correct? What exactly can I say / do to make this less scary for you? Fellow fishes, need your blessings here 🙌🏻

This now seems more of a scene from a Bollywood movie.

Aww I think this is becoming so chummy

ATK acquired by Deloitte. Or is it the other way around?!?

ATK has extended an offer to meet and talk at a neutral location, not sure what D is thinking

Btw OP what do you mean by desi jokes?

Will definitely email you ATK1!

Jokes in reference to India on a banning spree, for example D1

Banning porn, beef, and anything else that is mildly offensive to any group? Lol

Yup. Porn, beef, orgasmic moans in a movie.. the list goes on D1! While it's perfectly okay for thousand sto gather in a public space and collectively shout cheap lyrics which translate into 'do you want me to come and f*** you, Aunty?'
It's an interesting country to say the least!

Curious what anyone thinks about cologne? Is it a turn on? I am not really into it.. but I just got a whiff of this dude at the gym and the cologne did something to me 🥰 It was really subtle. I tend to just like the way a man smells (not body odor but just natural scent) and don’t usually like it covered up, but wow this guy tonight 🥵 I might might buy some but i figured it would be gay to ask him “what are you wearing” because that prob isn’t something the bros at the gym do.

Hi everyone,

Here my question is should i take this opportunity. Cause since this is only for 6 months. After that, what i can do, where should I try to get the job?

In mid size firms, people won't pay as much as big 4 pays.

Should I take it or am I making a mistake by taking this.
