Welcome, friends! I created this community to meet others in the city during these strange times.

This will primarily serve as a safe space to meet friends. If your vibe is more on the dating end, that's fine too.

Let's be kind, inclusive, and respectful. I've already met some of you in person, looking forward to meet more folks here!

Woman I went on one date with keeps me informed on what she's doing. I.e. Seeing her girlfriend or on her way to a birthday party. Not used to this level of transparency after just one date. We do have a second date planned. Thoughts?

Any thoughts on open relationships? Has anyone tried one? I’m curious. Kinda wanna explore that but unsure.

30 F looking to chat with someone. A bit buzzed and lonely, but not really single, so just looking for a friend. I’m a good listener.

I was accosted last night at the bar when some guy overheard me telling my date I worked at Apple. Lots of expletives and "go back to where you're from" rhetoric. Do people really feel this way? So far, everyone I've met has been so welcoming.

Has anyone tried any paid dating apps? (Match, eHarmony, paid features on Hinge etc.) and is it worth it?

Is it cool to use slang when with co workers?

What point do should send the "not into you" text to someone you've just started dating? I try not to disappear without a trace

28M moved to Munich. Any F from DE or EU interested to connect please DM.

Been in Austin for a while now and have never dated but would like to start. Any tips/suggestions on where to find quality people? (F, 28)

I feel like I am very naive and cannot read between the lines, so I can’t tell if someone is trying to fuck me over or not. This leads me to be extremely skeptical of others’ intentions, and makes me less confident that I can influence others, and in general really erodes my self-confidence. Does anyone else feel similarly? If so, how have you dealt with it?

Any single women like houses?

I'm not sure what else I did other than being respectful and not giving flip at the same time but (4) mature ladies in my office flirt with me every chance they get. Some of my M colleagues are beginning to notice and giving the prod. I must confess it comes with some perks as I do appreciate how fast they process my requests/orders which a M colleague literally told me is biased. Recently one of them offered to bring me her cooked food and asked that I do the same..(Cont'd)

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

Which city would you recommend for single men in late 20s trying to find good opportunities in career & dating? Leaning more towards to NYC but not planning to live in Manhattan due to the high rent so I am not sure that would be okay. Also don't want to drive that much.

Females, how much of your personal life do you disclose to the men in your team? I.e. Lovers, relationships, ONS etc

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..
