Hi guys

This question may not be related. However I wanted to know from personal and family point of view how it is like to relocate from India and live abroad .
Let's say Family consists of husband , wife and a kid . I understand we will get good facilities, education, cleanliness , good air etc , however I wanted to check whether people gel up easily in the new environment? Don't they feel loneliness/ difficult to adjust? Do they look for similar asian nationalities to kill boredom?

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

Mastercard or amex? For a strategy role

I am lesbian . I was talking to this gal then she stopped cold turkey. I’m striking out on dating apps. I’m in my thirties. I get hit on by men but I’m just not into it… 🤷‍♀️

How’s it like being gay in Singapore?

30 yo gent here... I need to start going on dates with people who travel more ... this going on dates with people in the same city every week has been a big of a struggle. Anyone single!?

Almost midnight here and I'm cleaning my medicine cabinet so I can reboot having a regular skin-care routine. I'm listening to one of my favorite musicals, "Ragtime", specifically the song "He Wanted to Say". Living 9 time zones away from home out of the US and watching the BLM movement there, unable to do anything concrete about it from here - this song I've listened to countless times, today about brought me to tears.

I really don’t mean this to virtue signal - just wanted to share a moment.

Well 😒 accidentally gave up my rose on hinge to the wrong dude. Was saving it for “the one.” Now this guy keeps texting me. He seems okay - I figure I should prob at least do a coffee date. (Or, Maybe a make out session and some heavy petting in the corner at starbucks? Is that still a thing for first coffee dates?) Will also wear the cologne im buying this weekend! I don’t know how long it takes for my rose to grow back on the app.

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? 😭😭

Any ladies at DU this week?

Who’s in Dallas at ACT?? I missed the networking time and want to grab drinks

Solo trip to Puerto Rico. Any recs? Thanks fam.

Let’s all defect and start a big gay consulting firm.

Do guys like when you act disinterested? I swear the only time a guy is into me is when I don’t reciprocate any interest and am aloof. Whenever I like a guy and try and be friendly and show interest (and I don’t think I go overboard. I just like try and have a quick texting convo a day) they act like im a stalker and stop talking to me

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

What’s up DC?

Does anyone have experience or advice on being a stepdad? My bf has a 6 year old (whom I adore) and I want to be as good a stepdad as I can be without overstepping any boundaries. Any advice is welcome!

Doctor rec’s? I was in DC before and I used to go to Whitman Walker, an LGBT focused primary care clinic, clean, efficient and friendly, and they understood the LGBT needs, like PrEP, very well, which is mainly what I need from my PCP. Is there such a thing in NYC?

I feel like I’ve lost myself since joining McK. My whole world has become about work. I love my job but I’m not the same person I started and I feel I don’t connect with my friends and family the way I use to. I’m not sure if I’ve grown, or lost a part of myself. Is this growing up or do I need to make a career change?

Any married gay couple give (or planning to give) red envelopes during Lunar New Year?
