Men 🐟: Is the unwritten rule of urban spacing dead?! Too many guys ponying up nice and close lately. Ladies, do you have any similar unwritten rules of the bathroom?

When you're on a date and you say what you do...what are the reactions?

Met a great woman this weekend. We are going on a date at the end of the month. Both have crazy schedules end of this month and next . I can’t stop thinking about her :) happy pride 🏳️‍🌈 ❤️

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.

Hello! Any single men would like to chat? If you’re engaging, not a weirdo, and can a hold convo, you can slide into my dm’s. 30/f/nyc 😋

Could you seriously date someone who isn't on the same financial level as you?

Is everyone on a date, I’m still working 🥹

Safe weekend getaways right now? Meeting a guy for the weekend, can’t stay indoors since my family is with me.

I was accosted last night at the bar when some guy overheard me telling my date I worked at Apple. Lots of expletives and "go back to where you're from" rhetoric. Do people really feel this way? So far, everyone I've met has been so welcoming.

Worst attention seeking behaviors?

Considering dating apps—any insights?

Ever proposed anyone at workplace on Skype/teams 😉??what's the consequences

Once when I was waiting tables, I had a guy pay me cash. The change was 45 cents, which I didn't give back to him because like who wants that. He then asked where the change was, and when I explained that I didn't give back the loose change, he made a big stink about how dollars and cents matter and didn't leave me a tip. He was a republican staffer on capitol hill.

Hi there!!

🥰🥰
I just want to say that I'm queer and married, in a Cis-hetero passing relationship 🤭

Do we have to talk about dating like all the time?

Can't we talk about other stuff? Like promoting THE AGENDA (jk)

No, but FR let's talk about being open and accepted in the workplace? How did you do that? How (un) friendly is the work environment?

Thankyaaaaaaaalll 😘😘😘

If you’re in a relationship (even a happy one), is flirting fine or walking a line? I think consistently flirting with the same person can be shaky, but what about strangers if you’re out?

Been on a few dates with this guy and he literally keeps using the washroom every 10-15 mins!

He would leave to use the washroom like 3 times in one meal- has anyone else experienced this? I just feel so weird about it

Asker outers- make reservations. I’m tired of going to dinner or drinks and finding out my date’s plan is winging it and the place doesn’t have space. Make a reservation!! It takes one min!!

It’s official that after 7 years I am now single in my late 30s…. Moments of excitement and moments sadness come and go. 🥂

Welcome, friends! I created this community to meet others in the city during these strange times.

This will primarily serve as a safe space to meet friends. If your vibe is more on the dating end, that's fine too.

Let's be kind, inclusive, and respectful. I've already met some of you in person, looking forward to meet more folks here!

I have an interview at 9am, during a snowstorm. Better get that job.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Is it normal for every single call (client or internal) everyone dials in from their desks at an open format office? Everyone avoids takings calls together/conference rooms like the plague.

If no one else in your open office is watching commercials without headphones, don’t watch commercials without headphones. Read the room. (Yes, I have headphones on.)

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

Just got the shaft on a regular component to the clients business, how can I handle next steps?

Thank you all for existing on Fishbowl and for being such a supportive community. It’s been a difficult year, but at the end of the day, I’m glad to have people to commiserate/celebrate with ❤️🙂❤️
