What does it mean when a guy says he doesn’t want anything too serious but is willing to be sexually exclusive? I feel like that doesn’t make any sense.

Started talking to this guy through group a group telegram and one day he offered to pay for my lunch as I had helped him out with something. Since then he has been offering to pay for my dinners, salon visits, shopping etc and I have accepted 3-4 times. I am in a steady relationship and my boyfriend doesn’t know about this. The other guy just says he likes paying for my stuff and there’s no agenda. Is this a little weird?

Brand new single post divorce. Was with ex almost 18 years and never dated as an adult. What the hell am I in for? 35f.

Asker outers- make reservations. I’m tired of going to dinner or drinks and finding out my date’s plan is winging it and the place doesn’t have space. Make a reservation!! It takes one min!!

Kinda bummed. I’ve been single for 6 years (I’m 31 now). I live in ptown and talk to guys in Boston on tinder. Was talking to a guy for about a week who is my type. I asked if he wanted to FaceTime tonight and he said sure but caveated that he isn’t into long distance (ptown to Boston) and that we would most likely stick to chatting. Idk what’s wrong with me. Everyone tells me I’m a catch but guys I’m attracted to are never into me 😭 just needed to vent

Moving to Boston from NYC and work in Cambridge. I’ve been recommended Back Bay, South End, and Seaport. Where do you recommend? Where is best for dating life?

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

Any kind soul willing to let me bum off their becker 🤓 mines expired and Wiley is well... not good

I recently went from having an incredibly open and intimate long-term relationship with a person I was certain I was going to marry… to now getting asked “what’s your favorite color” on a first date. Godddd I hate dating sometimes

Any tips for hard launching partners on social media? For context, I’ve (Indian American female) been dating my white American boyfriend for 3 years and we just got engaged after two years of convincing my parents. They are very happy and excited now, but I’m scared shitless about being ostracized / judged by my extended family and Indian community in the US once I “let the cat out of the bag” on the engagement news. I want to be proud and confident about this but could use some moral support.

In my 40s, here in the larger NYC area for a couple weeks visiting family. Male, athletic. If anyone's interested in chatting (admittedly in a playful mood currently, so that's my current preference), drop me a DM.

I went through my gf’s phone and found out she had a crush on my best friend when we first started dating (over a year ago). I suspected this at first but it hurts to have it confirmed and see her telling her friends about him. I’m not sure how I should feel since I went out of line to look through her phone.

Went on a short coffee date with a person who was nice, but I just don’t think we’re compatible. What’s a kind text I can send to explain, after they said we should see each other again?

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!

Why is it so difficult to find a decent man...

I'm an investment banker and in late stages of a couple CorpDev roles of Fortune 200 companies. Both roles report to Head of CorpDev. I would be interested to understand the typical career progression. Assuming Head of CorpDev will stay in position for the next 5-10 years, what is the expectation of upward mobility then? Is it more common to progress through jumping around to different companies?

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.

Which CC is better for sign-up bonus - Citi Premier 80K points or Chase Aer Lingus/Iberia 100K Avios points?

I churn somewhat regularly and am under 5/24 by 1. I think Citi's points are more valuable but maybe I should knock out another Chase card before I'm at 5/24 again, even though Avios isn't as versatile?

Just spent 15 minutes buying a flight on the jet blue app... is there software really that slow?

The world is on fire and there’s so much to be sad about but I’m happy and wish some of this contentment for everyone else. Happy Sunday.

Mom went back to home country and I’ve been moping around holding back tears all day! Tell me it’s gonna be ok, I miss my mom 😭😭

I’m hoping my anti-depressants will help give me a kick to start looking for a new job. I honestly don’t have anything else left and I’m still sad.

I cut my own hair

Every night for like the past month I’ve been getting incredibly emotional about adulthood. I miss the lack of responsibility, the simplicity of life, friends were always around, and less pressure to be successful.

I’m 3 years out of college now so it’s not like I just started doing this stuff, but I am feeling the exact same feeling as I did when I first started work and just wanted to be back in college. I know I just need to grow up and accept that’s how life is but it’s incredibly upsetting

I recommended a candidate for hire to a manager that reports directly to me. This person is a perfect match, but wanted the manager to obviously recommend. It has to be a fit. The manager just told me my recommendation is not her top pick. I feel frustrated because as much as we talk about the position, I wonder if we are mot aligned on criteria. What do I do? Do I push more for the person I want or will I cause an issue with the hiring manager? How do I get her to see this person’s value?

What’s a pet peeve of yours that a coworker or client does? Mine is that my coworker says “ya know” after literally every sentence they say

I work remote from the west coast and I love it. I rarely travel for work but next week I’ll be in our NY office. I’m actually excited to wear work clothes again for 1 week 😂

What was your worst day at work like?
I’ll go first: I had a long night, didn’t charge my phone, phone died and I woke up 5 hours past my usual alarm… missed two important meetings, I was supposed to lead one of them 🥸

I rearrange my home office several times a year. Idk why but every 4 months I need to change it up. Anyone else do this?

What do you wish on your ex?

Just found out that my favorite aunt, who claimed I was her “favorite” niece, chose to leave all her valuables to her other two nieces who never visited or called her once in the last ten years. My aunt passed away suffering from cancer last year and didn’t have her own kids. I was there by her side throughout her battle. I still wish I had done more, made her life easier. I probably sound petty, but a part of me is forcing me to re-evaluate every interaction I ever had with her.

I think I may have made a huge mistake today. My skip level director sent out an email about something and asked us for feedback. I sent back a note and provided some. One of the things I said was that our job satisfaction might be improved if we could do more of X kind of work instead of Y kind of work that we do so much of in our group. The next thing I know, I get a ping from his EA to set up time for me to chat with him and my director tomorrow. I am getting in trouble tomorrow, right?

I started a new job a month ago and that just so happened to be when my birth control decided to screw with my emotions. I can barely hold it together already and I have the added stress of a new job and it being busy season. I don’t know what to do. I cry multiple times daily. I don’t know how to keep going.

Euphoria and my high school were so much alike.. I once watched a guy OD outside of my school.. people become addicted to meth by senior year.

I would like to take this time to sincerely apologize for calling people in there 30s old, I finally turned 30 and we are young af, unlike the old geezers in their 40s

Why are some people willing to do anything / obsessed about getting the green card in the U.S.?

When I asked them, they usually say they like American lifestyle. I love lifestyle in France, but I was in France, I was OK if I can't stay. Just trying to understand here so that I can have more empathy.
