The guy I m just went on couple dates with make me feel bad about being busy and try to make something out of myself. Am I too sensitive?

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?

30M, Fit, Indian, I am here to avoid arranged marriage and I don’t like dating apps :)

Curious what anyone thinks about cologne? Is it a turn on? I am not really into it.. but I just got a whiff of this dude at the gym and the cologne did something to me 🥰 It was really subtle. I tend to just like the way a man smells (not body odor but just natural scent) and don’t usually like it covered up, but wow this guy tonight 🥵 I might might buy some but i figured it would be gay to ask him “what are you wearing” because that prob isn’t something the bros at the gym do.

Any people looking to date in Atlanta ? 40 F

Is there such a thing as over texting the person you like?

List of info people are interested in:
Age, sex, location, ethnicity, religion, height, insta handle (if shameless plug), one fun fact about yourself, what you’re looking for

Looking to move on, M 35 in NY if any F interested in hanging out DM me

In my opinion one of the worse things you could hear from someone when you are dating is ‘I usually don’t talk to someone like you’. It makes it seem like you are just settling for that person.

Serious question: if you are interested in someone but they want to wait till marriage before you know... Would you end it or wait with them?

Any of Dfw female fishes interested in spending time over drinks/ dinner chat abot life, fun friendly conversation, may we watch a movie together. ? Brown Male 36 .

Is it irrational for me to get an “ick” for this?

I went on a “date” recently. I paid for the tab as they were going to the bathroom. As we were leaving they said “thanks for lunch” — I was hoping they’d at least ask to Venmo me half as a kind gesture. Following lunch we grabbed dessert. I was hoping they’d offer to cover dessert since I covered lunch but it didn’t happen.

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?

Hi anyone up for casual chit chat?

What's dating like in SF? New to the area.

What is dating during corona like? Is there any etiquette I need to be aware of? I stopped dating when the pandemic started, and just recently rejoined a dating app and have a first date this week. I know we both go outside and socialize with friends and neighbors (I’ve been careful and selective, not sure about him) so do I assume it will be like always?

Dating my guy for 6 months now and he’s just such a lovely soul but I’m not physically attracted, there’s no spark and I’m afraid to let go but also afraid to keep holding on..

Ladies of fishbowl, question. Girl says she wants to get drinks as friends, but is persistent in getting your number to text. Overthinking or is there something behind this? I’m also good friends with her current landlord/roommate.

Amazon Offer- Accept or decline?

Sign-on: 43k
RSU: 825 shares

Current TC: 98k

Received an offer for non- tech CCM role and wondering if I should accept. I feel like I was lowballed and downleved despite having 6 YOE (relevant but not in tech). Not sure it will be beneficial to leave my current role for this offer to get my foot in the door.

I’m at the cap for salary at the level/role and can’t negotiate offer any higher.

Where do you like to go in person clothes shopping? Which stores? (I.e., ponce, Atlantic station, Lenox, etc.)

I've been job searching for nearly 4 months.... started using fishbowl 3 weeks ago... this app is far superior to anything on the market.

Has anyone used Calendly to help track the dozens of interactions and calls with recruiters and agencies? I am either spending hours on the phone scheduling or being ghosted even if I reply within the day I receive the job description and invitation to talk.

My skills are under the umbrella of risk management, business analyst, business systems analyst or risk analyst… there seems to be high demand and I’m looking to stay organized and set myself apart by making it easy to schedule time.

Failed REG by 2 points... I feel defeated and honestly don’t know if I can do this anymore

What's the market these days for someone with not-great technical skills, 12 YOE, TS clearance, hard-to-find/unique skillset, elite masters, middle management in DoD contracting, experience with critical/high profile roles?

I'm thinking 120-135k would be bad/mediocre, 180-195k would be possible/a stretch, and 160-170k would be doable/realistic. Thoughts? Not interested in Deloitte.

What does an agency check in the clearance revalidation process? I left one consulting firm to work for another consulting firm at the same agency and am waiting for the go/no go.

I used a tool at my last company that worked tremendously well in helping me resolve conflict with a co-worker and I would love to bring it into my new company - its an Ombuds platform.

Any suggestions on how to make this happen? Has anyone done this before - brought in a tool to your new company that you've used before?

Where them 30+ ladies at? 25M 🙋‍♂️😉

35 F🐟, Boston, 🙋

Not in my 30s or 40s but looking to network with people in industry. I am a fun person so you will not get bored :)

Ladies would you take dinner and shoes from me?

Who here is willing to turn on networking for the next 2 hours?? People want to see their options in this bowl! You can then quietly go back into the shadows.

Rewatching Brokeback Mountain, which came out 15 years ago (hard to believe that). Anyway, it's still an outstanding, devastating film (and love story) that I think if had been released 10 years later would have easily won best picture and best actor for Heath Ledger.

Where do professionals 30+ meet people these days besides dating apps?!

I recently asked everyone’s age filters on dating apps and there were some mentions of fear of baggage and that’s why you don’t date older than X. What baggage are you afraid of? Ex spouses? Kids from prior relationships? What is it?

Any F in Minnesota?

Has anyone actually found love at work? My best friend started at a new company 6 months ago and she just took an offer somewhere else because she and her senior manager fell for each other. After 6 months she knew it was worth leaving her job for! I've been working at the same place for three years and I went on one date with a guy who didn't even work with me he just worked in the building. What am I doing wrong.

It’s official that after 7 years I am now single in my late 30s…. Moments of excitement and moments sadness come and go. 🥂

Feeling a deep void in close human connection after letting go a relationship that was lacking a future (I was interested in something more, he was unsure). Can’t stop thinking of reaching out and need strength to just stay with the loneliness and have hope for the better times. Would appreciate support. It’s been 2 weeks but I feel bouts of extreme sadness and desire to have someone to share my life and days with.

When do we think dating can go back to normal post-pandemic? Are we thinking mid 2021?

Plan on visiting SFO this August and wanted to check if any F is up for drinks or dinner spend some quality time. Male 34 , tall 5 11, brown and happy to message and set up some time if we find each other interesting.

I am feeling naughty since morning! Anyone sharing the feeling?

In my 40s, here in the larger NYC area for a couple weeks visiting family. Male, athletic. If anyone's interested in chatting (admittedly in a playful mood currently, so that's my current preference), drop me a DM.

Bored on a Sunday night, any female fish feel like chatting
