The moment I put Deloitte on my LinkedIn I get referral & connection requests from people left to right so what will happen when I start dating?? 🥲 What do you tell people, when they ask ?

Work referrals are the only boundary that I hold on to because I don’t know anyone’s else’s work ethic and the last time I referred someone to another company they quit 2 months later because it didn’t “fit the vibe” 😒 I also don’t want people to date or be friends with me for my connection.

If you’re not comfortable referring people you’re casually dating to professional positions, I think that’s a fair boundary. I would just say “I’ve been burnt before in that space so now I typically only refer people I have known for quite some time. Since we’re just getting to know one another, I’m not yet comfortable referring you.” Something along those lines.

Also for the distant connection refferal, if someone has a hard to find skill, the company would value, you can always say:

"I don't know them well, but I know we are looking for X"

Say I had a “friend” who gained 15 Covid lbs but is still on dating apps with old pics. Is that considered catfishing? She’s not overweight, but not fit anymore. Still good looking...she suspects. Is it best to update the pics? Or get on a BBW dating app? Definite fear of rejection at meeting. Thank God I’m asking for a friend because this shits embarrassing to type.

I want to be proud and confident about this but could use some moral support.
