People from this bowl keep messaging me and asking questions where they obviously know the answer, like "are you a counsel?" Lol. Since a lot of people are trying to meet people online I figured it might be helpful for people to share good icebreakers or questions they use to get to know someone. What questions do you like to ask your matches or someone you're trying to get to know?

A couple guys - at least they say they're guys - have DMd me from here that I strongly suspect are scammers. I can tell from the same "speech" pattern, poor grammar, odd questions and changing story they're the same person and at the very least liars. So I'd be careful with what you say here. Especially to any DMs from "Manager."

Scam, catfish, whatever. Why does anyone catfish on these platforms? Social engineering? Romance scams? Who knows. Easy to pick up on it, but annoying.

Maybe they’re asking if you’re a counsel general?

No, they're asking what I wrote in the post. Then they say they were trying to make conversation and didn't know what to ask.

I am so tired of Deloitte allowing bias towards MDs. Only because you are not an equity partner, your voice is automatically muted, you can contribute but you don’t get to decide. The minute a senior manager gets promoted to a principal, he gets on top of an MD with 15+ years experience and treats you like he is your boss. I mean this is a cast system at its best! I can’t wait to leave this firm, COVID can’t end fast enough.

Female here. Had a very successful first date recently - several hours long, interesting conversation, great chemistry. I felt a special connection and thought it was mutual. It’s been a long while since I’ve been excited about anyone and thanks to corona, it’s been a while since I’ve been in male company period, so I really want to accelerate things (see each other again soon) and not play it slow. He declined my offer to meet up today and didn’t seize the opportunity to make alternate plans.

Question time! Two part. 1) What dating sites or apps are you on and 2) do you feel like it’s been particularly tough dating in your 30s/40s during COVID, assuming that we probably date (on average) more seriously than 20s peeps? I personally have only been on one date! A zoom one last week.

SF 47, been texting guy (49) for a week, plan to meet tomorrow. The texting is getting too much, good morning and good night texts. I consider anyone from an app a stranger until meeting in person. Over the course of weekend, he's sent 3 YouTube songs with "love" in the title (Etta James). I am feeling more and more uncomfortable. He's coming off as needy or desperate, huge turnoff for me. I have slowed my response rate. How to deal with this?
