The dating scene here feels like a competitive sport. I have had so many lame convos and first dates that don't go anywhere. Where do you meet genuine people around here?

Any advice you’re looking for will reeeeeeeally depend on whether you’re looking to date women or men 😉

Dating apps is the easiest but at times the least effective. Book stores, rec leagues and workout classes, coffee shops, parks, bars are all good places to start.

I’m 50/50 on bars, since it’s usually really loud and people tend to stick to their circles.

Shabbat has some genuine people. Otherwise, I’ve been some nice folks at a political club.

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

It’s a crazy feeling for someone semi close to you, to of “been in competition” with you. For years. And you’re just now noticing. Like, girl. Is that why you act so conversationally constipated from time to time? You’re just a hater? 😂😂

I lived in tampa in my early 20s and am now in my late 30s and looking to move back.

Do you guys find it easy to meet interesting people and has the city gotten any more fun?

Need advice. Very Shy guy and girl, met a while back for a side hustle both like each other a LOT, relationship has progressed in other areas but not in the physical realm, primarily because neither officially asked the other out. Guy is a very rough around edges, asked for a date by saying ‘anytime you need breakfast or lunch, let me know’. I am an independent gal and didn’t like the way it came across. I really want to take this forward but am out of ideas on how to make a date happen.

Hello everyone!
I recently found out that I was being paid less than everyone in the team (more than 25% gap to more expe teammates, around 15% less than new hires)
We all had the same responsibilities, I consider I even had a heavier workload (talking in past tense since I very recently made an internal move).
Things to consider:
On a work visa
Non-white
Non-male
What would you recommend doing?
Keeping it to myself?
Speaking up? How? With who?

-TIA
