They all say that. You won’t date, you won’t make it alone with a kid, you won’t this or that. F*him you will be great. Dating in general sucks and the dating apps are a dumpster fire but it’s like that everywhere. Good Luck. Can’t wait til you prove him wrong

You will be able to date, but if you are looking for a new husband, your competition will be tons of single women who are childless. Your best bet is to date single dads, there’s a lot.

In addition, work on how to better yourself as an individual looking to get into another relationship with a new person. Try to work on some of the things that contributed to your failed relationship- this will open the door to a lasting relationship with another person.

A lot of people with kids move out of the city because the average home cost here is $2.7M and the average rent for a studio is $5k so there may be fewer people with kids, especially single parents, but it's a city of 8 M people.... so you have to consider fewer compared to where.

How do I politely decline that I’m not okay to make out in the first date or when the guy calls me over to his place after we meet/eat/drink? I want to take things slowly & know the person before getting physical. Not everyone might like this but that’s what I am & this whole thing appears off-putting.

I lived in tampa in my early 20s and am now in my late 30s and looking to move back. One of the reason I left is because I felt I had too much energy for the city for a single young professional, but now husband is from there and we have a kid but we are both social people. Do you guys find it easy to meet interesting people and has the city gotten any more fun?

So, this is a little awkward, but I recently moved to SD for a fresh start, and honestly, I love this city. My problem is I have been more of a homebody since I moved here and I'm a little intimidated to go out and meet people because I don't feel like I fit in here. I am overweight and this city is full of active, and attractive people. I guess I am wondering what my experience would be if I got out more? I feel like people look at me when I'm in public because I stand out due to my size.

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

Hello All,
Hope you are doing well,
I have just started my career in project management and have 2 years of experience. And now I would like to enroll in a distance MBA course. So could anyone suggest me which MBA specialization should I choose that will help me in the career along with the PMP certification?

Trying to transition and looking for a general progression of how you would go from essentially zero to entry level job as quickly as possible?

Currently going through the CS50 course to get a very basic introduction. Trying to avoid going back to school but open to boot camps if the community thinks they're with it.

Thanks in advance!
