I knew they weren’t the one probably about the time they ghosted me

For me it’s two categories:
1) They have to meet the bare minimum checklist for a relationship which for me is usually shared values (in my case, believes in God and is liberal but doesn’t need much beyond that because I don’t go to church or anything)
2) Beyond that it’s just a feeling of mental and sexual attraction. Sadly I always get this one with girls who don’t match up to #1

I'm single and well paid. I'm fit and good looking. I'm fun to hang out with. I'm a good listener. That's it. I'm happy being single. I'm not looking to date anyone or looking for a long term relationship. I have amazing friends, amazing family and I go on casual dates once in a while. Extremely happy with my life and don't want to change anything about it.

Guy i was talking to for months: i kept making it clear i dont want a casual hookup (we’re both in our 30s so we’re mature enough)- he said “same here and here is why this is not a hookup for me either” multiple times.1st met up in apt. Had fun but no hookup. 2nd time we hooked up (both tested for antibodies) because we both just wanted to out of immense loneliness and cant go out on a date. Texting reduced suddenly(from daily to none). I was still nice about it, asked if he wants to not talk &.

I find myself whiling away most of my weekend on Grindr and other dating apps. >90% of the time is wasted and doesn't lead to anything. I know it's a black hole but I still keep going back. Off late, I've realized that more than anything else, I'm just lonely and don't have much else to do. I go there craving sort of connection and human interaction. In my late 20s - don't have too many friends. The ones I do are also busy pairing off and settling down. Anybody else in the same boat?

I’m an HR Generalist. My job is a mix of recruitment and Employee Relations. I find the recruitment aspect to be pretty enjoyable and stress free, but the Employee Relations aspect does often give me a lot of anxiety (I’m a very anxious person to begin with).

If so, how do you manage them?

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!
