Matched with a guy on Tinder. Had a great first date. We are stilling chatting on WhatsApp. But he has disappeared from my tinder (presumably, he unmatched with me). Is it typical for ppl to unmatch on Tinder when they are still interested in you?

I dated someone 15 years older than me and he always lectured me about what did I do wrong. From small things like where to squeeze ketchup on my plate to big things like how to live my life and pivot to a career that his “friends” do so well in right now. Almost everything I did or said he’d follow with some criticism. I ghosted him after another lunch date full of such lectures.

Hi Everyone,
I am currently working for KPMG. Really looking for someone interesting people for a relationship. Currently single. Any preference in Big4 is not there, just that I wish to be friends with people who don’t show any attitude.

Thirty some female looking for a friend and travel companion. I am a no nonsense kinda person and just looking for Pure friendship /(buddy) with someone who lives and likes to travel (no benefits , no relationship, no BS) . Visiting nature spots in the US and around the world is on my bucket list. Idea to have a travel pal who also has similar goals. Not looking for relationship or any sort of dependency.

Has anyone ever been on an online dating site and saw one of their co-workers on there? 😂 🙋🏾‍♀️

Single black female. Late 30s, no kids. Is it better to practice in a smaller market that’s close to major cities, lots of professional opportunities, but no real single professional scene? OR be in a bigger pond/major city with more professional and networking opportunities, oversaturated with lawyers of color, more competition for professional opportunities, but bigger dating pool?

In my 20s and almost exclusively attracted to men 40+ but every time I match with one on a dating app they end up being creepy.

How’s the Saturday night going? Anyone on a blind date? 🤓

25 F in NYC. I was born in the US and raised between US and Middle East. Looking to meet people :)

Started a casual relationship with manager now we both ended it. how can I get over the fact that i will keep seeing him at work (different team) and not to think about him sleeping with others?

A few months ago I totally blew a third date with a guy I really liked during a completely hellish period where I was billing 200+ hrs each month. Would it be weird to text him again now?

Men - do you try to get out of an argument/fight by pretending like nothing happened? Why so?

I matched with someone in Bumble but am actually interested in one of the guys from one of the group pictures he had. How rude will it be if I ask him? I know it’s rude but J lol - please don’t fry me

Best part about being single: Not having to hold in my gas ! What is the best part of it for you??

Just want some dating advice. I been seeing this guy and we both in for the long haul. He has this best friend, and basically I hate her. I’m a guy btw. She is like this dramatic annoying type who bosses around. I’m a very quiet guy and I don’t like drama. My SO really wants me to be friend with her but I genuinely hate her. The moment she steps in the room I’m like “argh you again”. We had an argument because I don’t wanna hang with her. I don’t know what to do. Advices would be super appreciat

Ladies of fishbowl, question. Girl says she wants to get drinks as friends, but is persistent in getting your number to text. Overthinking or is there something behind this? I’m also good friends with her current landlord/roommate.

Matched with a girl on hinge. She’s catholic. We haven’t met yet and I offered to go to Mass with her so we could meet the old school way and she loved the idea and didn’t find it awkward 🥺

Most cringeworthy pickup lines you’ve seen on dating apps?
I’ll start: “Are you my appendix cuz I want to take you out”

For those who have been driving the daily thread posts (senior tax accountant / KPMG / etc) please DM me if interested in becoming a community leader for this bowl. I’ll put you in touch with Sam from Fishbowl. Thanks!

Any tips for someone trying to break into consulting in the GCC from the US? Applying blindly hasn't worked out. Head hunter recommendations would be great as well!

Looking to create a survey to send out to our customers to get an idea of what kind of content they’d like to see from us. Any suggestions on high-value questions to ask?

I was about to talk trash about my truck driving friends and blame them for my heatwave related problems. Then I remembered that I drive an SUV, not zero emission, and I'm not doing much better for the environment than they are. I'll just ask them what if the climate change believers are right and see what they say.

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.

There’s this guy at work I really like. We’re really really good friends but I’ve caught feels since the day I met him and I just want to tell him how I feel but I don’t want to ruin our great friendship. He’s the closest friend I have.

Holidays can be tough for our community - I hope everyone is able to find some moments of self-care and happiness today!

Do you find that what you find attractive physically has dramatically changed over the years? Everything from body type to facial features I swoon over is so totally different

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?

Was hanging out with a friend in town. We met on Bumble but he just wanted to be friends. He has dated several guys since we met and we continue to hangout as friends (cont)

Why are the lesbian bars so few in the US? I am loving the only lesbian bar in Houston, but I need variety. Can you actually meet girls well at a traditional gay bar? F/25/Houston here

Ryan Murphy is the new Aaron Spelling. Big rich producer making money off of cheesy shlock. I guess you can’t take the Indiana out of the boy. Heart’s in the right place though. Bless his heart.

Has anyone ever been in a mostly platonic relationship? I don’t like to label myself much, but I don’t really like intimacy and don’t really like romance. Some people would say I’m asexual/aromantic, but unless that too is a spectrum, I don’t think I fit squarely into that group. As I get older, I’m realizing I’m feeling very lonely. It would be nice to find someone, but have it be platonic (any gender/sex). It’s weird, I know. It’s hard to articulate as well. Can anyone relate? 😭😭

I recently joined Grindr……. 😵‍💫

I know this isn’t a marriage therapy bowl, but my husband has a really terrible tendency of saying things like “you’re being really mean” and completely shutting down during a disagreement when i objectively am not being mean, just truthful or vocal about how i feel about something. It’s a really convenient argument for him because it enables him to either be the victim and me the villian, or forces me to concede my stance and not reach a true resolution. Any tips on dealing with the irrational?
