1. Guess I’ll never win an argument with you

Or I have a JD but choose real estate sales, or "your a lawyer, you should know". Exhausting.

Assuming my workload is light enough to where we actually go on the date, I get one of these:

- him: oh this is great now I know who to call when I’m in trouble
-me: no. Please don’t call me if you’re in trouble, I do employment law and complex business litigation. Do not call me.

- him: that’s really interesting. So this one time ... (random story about some tangential legal issue the guy had). What do you think about that?
-me: yeah, damn that’s crazy.

-him: oh I bet your so cute in your lawyer clothes.
-me: technically, any clothes I wear are lawyer clothes but agreed I am cute.

-him: I guess I shouldn’t mess with you.
-me: *dazed, confused, mildly concerned* yup, better not.

But my personal fave: you don’t look like a lawyer.

You go on dates with your date not knowing you’re a lawyer?

Even though it’s on my profile, people still don’t know. Also, if it doesn’t come up beforehand, it has come up during the date

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭

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…?

I’ve only slept with one person, my wife. I have not openly shared this with anyone because there’s a stigma that I “settled” or I don’t have numbers on the board like a man should.

I admit, I do think about the “what if” every once in awhile but I’m honestly getting to the age where I feel I’m beyond my prime anyhow.
