Self care and growth are so important, definitely agree with those too! 😊

- Not smoking or consuming any drugs. Alcohol only in special occasions
- Active lifestyle, don't need to be muscular but someone who loves moving their body as much as I do
- Intellectually curious
- Independent, it's okay with each having their own space/time
- Politeness, personal hygiene
- Good heart, affectionate and kind

I meet all of the above, so I would like someone similar

Is it irrational for me to get an “ick” for this?

I went on a “date” recently. I paid for the tab as they were going to the bathroom. As we were leaving they said “thanks for lunch” — I was hoping they’d at least ask to Venmo me half as a kind gesture. Following lunch we grabbed dessert. I was hoping they’d offer to cover dessert since I covered lunch but it didn’t happen.

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?

I lived in tampa in my early 20s and am now in my late 30s and looking to move back.

Do you guys find it easy to meet interesting people and has the city gotten any more fun?

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.
