Just had a friend over for lunch and watching the game. I'm in love with him. He knows that I'm into him but doesn't love me back. It's so hard on me. For the entire time he was with me, I only wanted to kiss him. Is it karma that all the other guys I've dated or been dating wanted me but I don't return the same feeling?

No, it’s not karma. It’s just one dude who doesn’t like you back. There’s a million just like him. I’d separate myself from him if I were you.

Don’t hang out with him for awhile.

Sounds like he’s playing mind game with you. Doesn’t want to be together but wants to hang out. He’s reaping all the benefits while you’re only getting maybe half of him

It’s not karma. It is how women who have their shit together fall in love. I fell into that trap too many times. You can either not pursue him, continue to have fun with him as friends, date other guys and see if he comes around. Or, be forward with him and start a sexual relationship. (Most guys won decline that unless there is a real lack of physical attraction). The huge risk of the latter is it could put you into a FWB zone permanently and lead to bigger heartbreak.

I’m so sorry OP. No it’s not karma. It’s good to distance yourself….that way you can protect yourself. It’s so hard….I know the feeling 😔

I’ve had a really tense, emotionally exhausting week. Things wrapped up yesterday and now my body feels so strung out and exhausted. Any tips for coming down from being so strung out without relying on toxic habits and just shutting down/procrastinating? (My brain is saying “go for a run” and my body is getting stuck picking at my eyebrows for two hours) I feel like my central nervous system is on a roller coaster.

PMs, If your company is an AWS shop, they just released two new cool features to Cloud Watch that is extremely valuable to PMs. The first one is Cloud Watch Evidently that allows for non-deployment A/B testing and the second is Cloud Watch RUM for user and performance monitoring.

Hi there, I got an offer for an early stage cyber security saas startup in Canada and they offered me 130k base and 10-15% commissions which they estimated at 160-240k additional a year. They only have 1 sales person at the moment and I would be 2nd and they are hiring for 3 more. I’ve always been on a 50:50 model and never done the % of revenue. Average deal size is 40k. I got 12 yoe in enterprise tech sales. No stock options upfront but potentially after the first 3 months. Good deal?
