Met my current gf on the apps while on long term international project. We're still together, more than a year later. Not logistically ideal, sure, but so so happy it happened.
I know I was lucky but my two cents is - yes, our lifestyle SUCKS for dating, but as soon as I stopped closing myself off to opportunities because they were inconvenient or less than logistically ideal, I felt a lot less hopeless about it. In just trying it while in the client city, there was a lot more uptake, so to speak, and a lot more fun than I would have figured.
Best of luck all- we're in it together!!

I was a consultant working in jurisdictions where it is illegal to have gay relationships.
Old fashioned intros through mutual friends still great! Just got married after 4 years.

I been thinking about buying a 3bed and 3bath house or a condo. I haven’t had much luck in finding one so I started thinking about 4 bed and 3bath. I am single and I don’t have any plans to marry or have a partner staying with me. Is there anyone who’s single living in a 3 or 4 bed house by yourself ? Please share your experiences from all aspects. The only thing that makes me think weird is, it’s too much space for one person ☹️

How do you know if someone likes you in the beginning of dating? I met this guy online who I thought was cute and we went on a few dates.

He’s been sweet to me (ie when I was packing for a trip, he noticed there’s dirty dishes in the sink and he just started washing them for me) but he never texts in between dates and doesn’t really initiates much physical contact (he reciprocates when I do)

Gay man who works in a large org that is big on diversity and inclusion efforts. I’d say about 50-60% of people (at all levels, across all age groups and races) list their gender pronouns in email signature. I list mine because I see it as a way to show support for colleagues who may not be cisgender. If anyone else works in the same type of environment, do you infer anything about colleagues who choose not to list their gender pronouns? (such as they are homo/trans phobic?)
