So this dude asked me late last night if I wanted to call him and said he needed someone to talk to while working late..told me to let him know if I had a guy over then he’ll talk to someone else. I didn’t have a guy over and not that kind of person so why assume that? It pisses me off.

He was probably trying to remind you not-so-subtly that you guys aren’t exclusive and may be seeing other people on the side.

It's just his not so subtle way of trying to find out if you are also dating someone else.

I agree with SA1, might be fishing around to see to see what kind of reaction he would get. If you guys met off a dating app, he probably assumed you are talking to 100 other guys and got no shame in being open with exploring all your options

He’s been my friend and I’ve known him for years

Your OP described him as “this dude” so I think we all got confused and assumed he was a random dating app guy, lol

Do you like him at all?

Honestly I think he’s just being polite. If you had someone over, he probably didn’t want to mess with that. Plus he probably sees you as his bro and wouldn’t want to “cock block” or anything

Hi everyone!!! 24, M, looking to connect with another guy :-)

There are too many men out there who think that just because I'm being polite, it's a sign that they should flirt with me while I'm at work. I thought this was 2022, why haven't we as a society gotten past this yet?

I went on ONE date with a guy that lives next door months ago. He told me he eats out every night and tips his doordahers poorly. That was a red flag, so I never talked to him again. Anyhoo, I bumped into him tonight, and he cussed me out so bad at a CVS. I’m confused as to what I did wrong?

35M. Friend zoned after one date. What am I doing wrong? I met her at a baby shower. We talked/text regular for about a month or so because I was traveling for work. Finally went on a date about two weeks ago, a week after I told her I like her and said she never thought about us being romantic. Today I got the official friend zoned text.

Growing up was rough. On my 8th birthday my dad had an accident that led to this death a few days later. He was a good man who took care of us all (I had 3 siblings now 2; lost 1 few years ago). I'm in a good place in life right now I only find myself in the last 5years shedding a tear once a while when I'm alone. It startles me because I was a tough kid who didn't cry and just soaked it all in and rolled with it. I'm almost 40 and can't explain what's happening with these tears.

I started at a company 4 months ago. Remote position. Didn’t receive equipment or access until 2 months in. Boss rarely hits me up. No training or projects. Other than 1 report I send daily, I am sitting all day, waiting. Big company. Pretty sure I was a diversity hire and in comparison to my peers, under-qualified. I’m blessed bc salary is great and remote role, but not challenged and if ever a lay off - I’d for sure be on list. I can do personal things and side hustle, but what would you do?
