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

Have you considered moving to Boston? That could solve some of your problems.

You have a mortgage but that doesn’t mean you can’t sell and move if you want to. Seems obvious, but I’m mentioning it only becuase I know some people that feel like a 30 year mortgage is an actual 30 year obligation to stay in/keep the same house, and it’s not.

It’s the middle of winter baby boo…in four months you’ll be lathered up in a Speedo heading to afternoon tea. Enjoy the downtime, spend a few weeks in NYC, Boston, DC and see what that does for you

Move to any major city. It is as simple as that. You may be a catch, but you're not accessible, and with a population under 3000, Provincetown doesn't offer many options.

I’m not sure I understand. He didn’t say he wasn’t into you. Just not into long distance situations. How far are the two cities apart anyway?

I’m married, and one of my coworkers flirts with me. Nothing super overt, but definitely not professional. We’re good friends and work together constantly because we’re on the same client, so I don’t want to make it awkward. Do I just do nothing and let it go? It is mostly just odd I’m not super offended, but I’m also clearly uninterested!

Finally went on a date about two weeks ago, a week after I told her I like her and said she never thought about us being romantic. Today I got the official friend zoned text.

Currently a Wealth Advisor for Citi but I honestly hate it here with a passion it’s the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life and I’ve been in Wealth Management in the banking channel for over a decade. Series 7, Series 63, Life, CFP, ChFC, and soon to have my MBA with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions. I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

What is process of background verification and do they check cibil as well for the onboarding process?
