Thought question: What happened to the idea of a natural connection? Yes, we’re in an impatient, instant gratification society, but why are we losing appreciation for the organic process of meeting people? Some of my friends told me long ago that I’m thinking too hard about this; that I’m making the process too complicated. But as a woman, I want a man to know that who they see today is who they will see next month and next year. I’d like the same in return. Dating apps cannot do this for me.

I think it’s because most people don’t know who they are or what they want so they can’t be themselves about anything, especially dating.

My character, attitude and personality. To know that the person they meet and get to know today and over time will be the same person as time progresses along. It’s not to say that you’ll never see me get upset, hurt, grieved or show thick skin when necessary. But that in getting to know me, there will not be many surprises in who I am as a person. There are many individuals who have one persona at work or around strangers and another around family and friends.

Hey guys, newbie here please be gentle with me 😅. I have recently accepted an offer but my gut tells me it might not be the best for my future move. As usual there a probation of three months during which the notice period is half the time as compared to if I was a comfirmed staff. Do you think I should start looking and make use of the shorter notice period during my probation?

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.

How do I politely decline that I’m not okay to make out in the first date or when the guy calls me over to his place after we meet/eat/drink? I want to take things slowly & know the person before getting physical. Not everyone might like this but that’s what I am & this whole thing appears off-putting.
