Ladies, how do you handle it when your date is just not that good at texting? 😂 I am certain that we like each other and in-person is great chemistry, but his texting style just looks really cold and makes me not want to text him much. I even told him about this and he tries to use more emoji/exclamation marks now but still… texting him is not very enjoyable 😂

Really simple answer to this: pick up the phone (call/video).

Communication is very simple when we don't force people into boxes. Use texts to confirm straightforward info or to send quick updates.

As long other methods work well, it's reasonable to make the adjustment.

Makes sense! We have been friends but just started seeing each other very recently so calls/vids are still not super natural to me, but maybe soon!

This is interesting! My husband is not a texter and somehow we worked it out 😂 I think we just hung out in real life a lot so texting in between wasn’t super necessary.

Same here actually! We see each other a lot in general throughout the week but he is now out of town for a while so it's a bit harder when I miss him 😂

He is also just bad at asking open ended questions in texts too I feel! So sometimes its like monologue from me

Celsius vs BlockFi now that BlockFi has all the cease and desist orders? Seems like celsius pays better AND now may be a safer bet?

I’m also concerned about more states piling onto BlockFi and turning them into a bitconnect or cred or something. Unlikely i know but curious about folks thoughts.

Hi everyone! I am in a weird situation right now that I haven’t been in before and could really use some advice especially from women who might have faced or seen something similar. Long story short, I was brought into my current firm and promised that the work I want to do is within the team/solution they recruited me for and aligned me with in the system. However, once I started working on the project, it became very clear that I’m in the wrong team and on the wrong project (continued below)

Do you think it’s fair to pay full price for a missed appointment? Long story short, I lost track of time by 30 minutes. By the time I realized I messaged her and she said she can’t extend the time due to other clients so I suggested we reschedule for next week. She’s now asking for full payment of $175. I tried to renegotiate so she brought it down to $115. Does this seem fair? Looking for other perspectives
