What do you guys think about dating app? I started talking to someone and was not sure if it's worth the time. But at the same time I dunno where to meet people :(

Dont like them either. Bar is better than dating apps as nothing replaces face to face conversation. Found gay friends at pwc and eventually regularly go to the gay bar. We introduce mutual friends to each other and grew circle since then.

I don’t like them, but it seems like the only way to meet people if you’re not into the bar scene.

For sure go with friends. I’m pretty sure your local office has some OPEN guys/gals. I’ve had great times going with co workers and they have met some great people. Don’t go alone if you can avoid it

@PwC1 - that’s so true re: face to face conversation. But that’s probably my biggest issue with trying to meet people at bars. They’re usually so noisy that you really can’t get to know anyone.

I’ve had some great conversations with people I’ve matched with via apps. But the problem there is that people seem to lose interest quickly, and there’s not really a lot of follow-through with taking things offline and meeting in the real world.

Pwc 1 - same case in all of the things you said. I think meeting people in bars is just a jumpoff point to friendship and then making an effort to constantly invite people until it becomes a habit and eventually it’s no longer meeting in bars.

It makes it really easier if they have similar jobs as us, especially if from the same firm. Same hours, experience, expectations, and more topics to talk about. And for sure since big 4 firms are very rigorous in recruiting good people, there’s good background guarrantee already.

I lived in tampa in my early 20s and am now in my late 30s and looking to move back. One of the reason I left is because I felt I had too much energy for the city for a single young professional, but now husband is from there and we have a kid but we are both social people. Do you guys find it easy to meet interesting people and has the city gotten any more fun?

Case 1: complaining about a date insisting on picking up the check as it makes them feel less independent.
Case 2: agreeing on 50/50, then being upset about why the date never picks up the check or treats them after 3 months of dating

In both cases, posted 5 days apart, they were advised to find someone else as it seems their date doesn’t respect their values (case 1) or value them enough to spend money on them (case 2).

Well, just 🤯

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭

It’s not my first time being ghosted, I was ghosted by a guy who I was dating for over a year. I tell myself if I can get over that, I can get over this. But it still hurts so much right now 💔 I could use some extra support today
