I always disliked them if an online match. Preferred grabbing a drink and then extending if it went well. To me, online dates were almost a “pre-date” to see if you really wanted to go on a real date.

Dislike - too many variables, can run yoo long, great date but bad food - progressive dates are much better (start with X, if it's going well do Y, if it's still going well then Z, etc.)

Favorite type of date!

I prefer meeting for drinks as it’s more modular, so you can adjust depending on how the date is going. Move to a quieter place, move from wine to cocktails, or call it a night after an hour, etc.. I’m the UK, though, where we are notorious for drinking a lot and not eating on early-stage dates!

Trying out bumble bff. Met a girl for drinks last week and we seemed to hit it off. We mentioned doing something again and coordinating later in the week. I texted her today to ask if she was still interested in doing something this week and she said she was super busy with a huge project and apologized. But she didn’t offer the weekend (which I feel is included in “this week”), didn’t say “lets do another time” or anything like that. Should I take the L and count her as not rly interested 🥲

Ok so. I have been on this journey for almost a year now to try and 'get to know and love myself' and I'm not there yet. I separated from my ex in March of 2020 and divorce was finalized in October 2020. I'm still sad, lost, angry etc. I'm trying/tried therapy, meditation, ayurveda, self help videos, books, but I'm not happy with myself and I don't think I know myself. I want to be happy alone before I meet anyone new. Any tips or advice on how I can effectively accomplish this? Thank you!

I got to know someone thru work, and flirted a bit over 1 week. Then we never spoke again because of work geography. He reached out this week after 9 months+ asking for a visa sponsor to take a vacay in my country (given mobility restriction these days), and asked me to hook him up with a business visa referral letter thru my connections. He also said he’s coming with gf. I said im happy to write him a personal reference letter, but wont be able to get him a business one. Is this rude?
