I’d say decent. A lot of transplants so it’s a mixed bag. Idk what this other guy’s talking about but Raleigh is def left leaning. Definitely be sure to live ITB.

I’m “old” and married a long time, but I am chiming in to say that if you are young and single, you want to live downtown, somewhere near The Village District or Glenwood South, or near North Hills. Those are spendier as far as rent / purchase prices, but if you are much outside of that, you will have a suburban feel and need to travel every weekend to where all the social activities are.

Are u white? Then you’re fine. Also, don’t expect to have the same pool of women as people in the south won’t come from as impressive backgrounds nor care about the work the same amount

As I hear from my single friends, not amazing. But I think it largely depends on who you are and what you’re looking for. My single friends looking for ltr seem to be having a rough go. My single friends who just generally enjoy casually dating seem to be having a blast.

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?

Haven’t done the dating thing in a while so need advice!

He then texts me and says something along the lines of “yeah let’s do it” but doesn’t offer any concrete plan. Does this mean he’s not super into it? Or am I overreacting and I should initiate the plan? I initiated the insta follow and the dm so I feel like it’s his turn…?

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?

I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.

I went to a T14 law school, got great grades and glowing recommendations, and wrote (what I thought was) a great writing sample. But I got rejected from all 70 federal clerkships I applied to. The only thing I can think of is: I took a non traditional route after law school and did a 2 year public interest fellowship in a niche field of administrative law. The rejection gave me a lot of self hatred. I still really want to clerk. Any advice? What is wrong with me? I feel like a failure.
