Who doesn't use the bathroom before a date?

Went on a blind date with a girl back in undergrad. We were to meet up with some of my friends but instead she requested that we go back to my place to watch a movie. I could sense some urgency and thought wow she's really into me. I happily obliged and the moment we walked in the front door she quickly asked if she could use the restroom. 20!min later she exits with a bright red face, "so your toilet doesn't work so yea...that's how it is." 🤔

Had no idea what to do so decided to take a peak to see if I could fix it. Instantly regretted it as you'll read. Opened the door and was hit with a must you could cut with a knife. It was definitely Indian food but mixed with a burnt hair smell. Nearly gagged. Should have turned back but I had to see the inside of the toilet. Lifted the lid and there was a mound of toilet paper to cover the evidence. I tried to flush and nothing. Lifted the back lid and the chain had fallen off the handle. With a little bit of muscle, it became a quick fix.

As I walked back out I could tell she was pretty embarrassed. I tried to make light of the situation with a joke and acted like nothing happened. On the way over we talked about what we wanted to watch and To my surprise she hadn't watched Dumb and Dumber and she committed. When we got to the part where Harry was in the restroom I just lost it uncontrollably. How awkward!! Well it's safe to say I never saw her again. I was down but I think it was just too much for her. Good times.

Met this guy through coffee meets bagel, so sort of like a blind date. He got too friendly, too soon . We had a good conversation, had a few drinks. I knew he wanted me to call him over, but I wasnt into him that much. At the end of the night, we hugged good bye, and he made a joke about something and spanked my ass. Not in a sexual way, but a foot ball coach spanking a players ass' kinda way. I didn't know how to respond, just gave him a weird look. Never saw him again

You're a nice dude. A lot of guys would be turned off by that. I feel bad for her though. She should have just gone home, instead of taking a dump at your place on a first date.

It can be pretty complicated, but it sounds like that guy was a bit too thirsty.

Coffee meets bagel is interesting. It feels a little less superficial than tinder, and has more normal people I think. I like the fact that it limits matches so I'm not swiping all day. Lol.

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?
