Someone I matched with, is pushing me to meet the next day. I don’t like to meet super soon unless we know each other at least for a week and now she is mad. How do you deal with pushy people?

Maybe she really likes you & wants to meet you? She’s worried that you are a good catch & might decline in a week? Maybe you’re single as you constantly over analyze women’s behavior, set rules only you follow, and expect others to dance to your tune? Why not go with the flow, meet for an hour outdoors, go for a walk in the park & see if you like her? Or stay single and childless for the rest of your life. It really is your choice.

Acc1 Quite possible and a good perspective. But why not convey the same respectfully. One can be nice and still express their wishes, specially when you feel the urge to meet someone. Why expect a guy to be nice and then throw all the judgments in a rude way. You want respect, earn it. Period.

What’s wrong in meeting next day? You can meet as long as you are not setting up wrong expectations..

Lol no time wasted but thanks for your advice. It was rather quick.

Omg why do conversations on desi bowl get so weird? OP get down from your high horse, if you don't want to meet don't meet. Why are you asking here if you have already made a decision and closed your mind to possibilities.

I am not saying you are wrong in not wanting to meet but the attitude you showed with that Afganistan comment was weird. I feel the girl isn't wrong in asking to meet the next day nor are you if you don't want to. Figure out if you like her enough, if not don't meet! No need to be contentious with people expressing their opinion since you literally asked for it by posting.

I started working for a new law firm, much larger than the firm I was working for previously. The main attorney that I work under had noticed some mistakes I was making (I am a NY paralegal who took this position with the understanding that they’d be teaching me NJ and NYC real estate). Anyways, the attorney decided to tell the HR manager about the mistakes I had been making. Rather than HR discussing with me, the manager told my dramatic coworker to tell me..how should I handle this? Very hurt!

Question that could belong here or in the Relationships bowl:

How do women prefer to be turned down if the guy they’re pursuing is not interested. I know men have the capacity to deal with rejection poorly, and I’m not suggesting otherwise. But in my anecdotal experience , women take the gentle “no thanks, not interested” poorly.

Any tips for hard launching partners on social media? For context, I’ve (Indian American female) been dating my white American boyfriend for 3 years and we just got engaged after two years of convincing my parents. They are very happy and excited now, but I’m scared shitless about being ostracized / judged by my extended family and Indian community in the US once I “let the cat out of the bag” on the engagement news. I want to be proud and confident about this but could use some moral support.

Do managers tend to make a scene while you put your papers?

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.
