Me on a date

Her: So what do you do?

Me: I’m a freelance writer

Her: (crickets)

FaceTime date 👀

I recently asked everyone’s age filters on dating apps and there were some mentions of fear of baggage and that’s why you don’t date older than X. What baggage are you afraid of? Ex spouses? Kids from prior relationships? What is it?

I feel like being gay just adds another layer of difficulty while trying to date in consulting.

30M anyone want to meet for drinks this weekend? Open to networking

26M, 6ft. Looking for casual. No bar on age and relationship status.

Started talking to this guy through group a group telegram and one day he offered to pay for my lunch as I had helped him out with something. Since then he has been offering to pay for my dinners, salon visits, shopping etc and I have accepted 3-4 times. I am in a steady relationship and my boyfriend doesn’t know about this. The other guy just says he likes paying for my stuff and there’s no agenda. Is this a little weird?

I’m really struggling with figuring out my sexuality and dating as I enter the next phase of my life (into my first job). Not out Bisexual male - uncertain about dating. I want to try going out with girls but scared that they would think about my sexual history(got with guys and girls before). Anyone in a similar boat?

So, how does a first timer go about getting involved in dating apps? How do I start and what’s a good one to use? Last time I dated, only Match existed!! 🙄 (long story, I’m not that old)

Woman I went on one date with keeps me informed on what she's doing. I.e. Seeing her girlfriend or on her way to a birthday party. Not used to this level of transparency after just one date. We do have a second date planned. Thoughts?

34/male /northern VA/white/balding/starting to get a dad bod/im probably single for a reason

28M for reference!

30M, Fit, Indian, I am here to avoid arranged marriage and I don’t like dating apps :)

When do we think dating can go back to normal post-pandemic? Are we thinking mid 2021?

Anyone wants to meet for drinks next week?

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.

Which country is good for dating as in where can I get good girls to date outside India? If given an opportunity, which country you would like to move to?

Which is better for meeting other gay women? Tindr or bumble?

My accounting edge finance is not compatible with the new Mac OS. I do not need the $15/month subscription they offering as an upgrade since I’m a lone freelancer. I’ve always kept my own books and did my own taxes. Anyone else out there with a basic bookkeeping program recommendation for Mac would be appreciated.

Has anybody here Incorporated themselves? LLC? Do you find that people do not like to pay Freelancers this way? Or are they okay with it?

A client of a former employer wants to hire me as a 1099 employee through a separate vendor. If I'm under a non-compete, what's the best course of action? addendum? request release? too sketchy?

Time to update the website. Squarespace? Any other recommendations or tips? Thanks!

Has anyone worked at WebMD before as a contractor?

Quick PSA: one of the perks of going in-house, is that you’re no longer at an ad agency and all that that entails.

Just started a new in-house tech fl gig and it’s giving me whiplash! Somehow this dept has brought every person/toxic behavior from their old agency just to a new environment. Nowhere is perfect but good god. I honestly think companies/HR could learn a lot about their depts from freelancers.

How’s the freelance market in SF right now?

Is your hourly rate based on a 40 hour or 50 hour work week? I ‘d like to make my day rate at 40 hours, but wasn’t sure if that was standard. Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Any suggestions on how to get a monthly project retainer fee increased? I have a lead on a project that sounds exciting and in an area I have a high level of expertise in, but the budget suggested is too low for the work expectation. Appreciate any suggestions you have on how to navigate this conversation.

Any advice on how to get clients to pay your invoice on time / what to do when they don't? I'm currently working with an agency who agreed to net 30 terms, but has been late with every invoice so far...It's probably a lost cause on this particular job, but Im wondering if there's anything I can do in the future to avoid this situation. Does anyone charge a fee when invoices aren't paid on time? Or is this just par for the freelance life?

Is there a list of agencies and clients that don’t pay on time or at all? If not, can we start one here?

At what point do we publicly announce a minimum day rate under which no freelancer will go? The news this week about what C-level titles are paid is sickening. This is feudalism. Surfs unite!

Anyone hiring broadcast / content producers in NYC? (Freelance and/or FT). It’s been a bit dry, but seems like things are picking up.

Does anyone here freelance (in design or deckmaking) on top of their full time position? How does that work?

Is booking 40hrs a week freelancing for one company a good idea? Or does that seem like you don’t have anything else going on? I would like a good work life balance with the ability to take off weeks at a time in the middle of all this.

I know the day rate the Chicago office of a large agency paid a friend with equivalent experience to me. Safe to add 100 to that for my rate in the NY office or nah?

Looking for a freelancer in a New York or LA to join our team of creative sales representatives for the photo/film industry. Any recommendations of where i could post more about the position?

Does anyone else struggle with being a freelancer while also being a natural leader? I always feel in freelance roles that they would prefer I just shut up (even though my ideas have been praised and implemented plenty), esp within my own dept. In a full-time role, taking charge is expected, but I'm feeling like I should just sit back and take orders vs trying to be proactive or having thoughts in a freelance role.

Any 100% remote PM positions out there?
I’m kicking back 10k for the referrer at 30Days in. I travel between Canada and Mexico.
