When do you guys have sex with your date? I’m new to the dating game and just curious when is appropriate to do it. Have not had any physical touch with my date yet. Only had a first date and planned for the second for now.

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.

How's the LGBT dating scene at HBS? Are most people single or partnered

Are the standards for what makes a black man or woman an attractive person for a potential relationship or marriage material the same for white men or women? Do we judge all 4 groups (black man, black woman, white man, white woman) the same?

Need advice. Very Shy guy and girl, met a while back for a side hustle both like each other a LOT, relationship has progressed in other areas but not in the physical realm, primarily because neither officially asked the other out. Guy is a very rough around edges, asked for a date by saying ‘anytime you need breakfast or lunch, let me know’. I am an independent gal and didn’t like the way it came across. I really want to take this forward but am out of ideas on how to make a date happen.

Stories of a Jax night out?

I'll go first: on a last night out for a navy guy I'd dated for like 6mo he dragged us to king street where i never enjoy, at the bar w the toss the ring game a couple was fucking in the bathroom and the guy in front of me in line was mad about it taking so long so he started banging on the door trying to break it down and started to fight them when they came out. So we escaped to kickbacks where a customer threw a drink at the waitress who subsequently pulled a 🔪

Hi all,

There is guy living near my place and i find him really attractive. And sometimes I come across him in the gym. But I'm not sure if he likes me or not. How to handle this situation?
Any suggestions?

So… are any NJ/NYC people planning a meet up?! 👀

Someone teach me how to flirt! How do I let this guy know I’m into him?

These dating apps. ARGH! Someone “likes” you (takes the time to do that) then never messages you back. I don’t understand.

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!!

Any single cute woman up for drink tonight?

Online dating apps are a mess 🤢

35M. Friend zoned after one date. What am I doing wrong? I met her at a baby shower. We talked/text regular for about a month or so because I was traveling for work. Finally went on a date about two weeks ago, a week after I told her I like her and said she never thought about us being romantic. Today I got the official friend zoned text.

I applied for a job within my unit that I do not qualify for. Now, I have an interview for this job. Me knowing I do not meet most of the qualifications for this position has my imposter syndrome thinking I shouldn’t even do this interview because it would be a waste of time. Has anyone felt this way?

Thanks

Ah the wait while the background check clears, I don’t feel like working. Thoughts on things to do!?

My car that I purchased in 2020 has been the best performing asset I own right now

What should I do just over a week ago I was cutting a foam panel and I cut myself by accident it was bleeding a lot in the moment I grabbed a napkin to hold on my hand and then my coworker went to report to the manager. I went to the bathroom to rinse it off but then when I went into the break room I passed out in front of two of my coworkers and my manager. When I woke up on the floor, my coworker told me I was out for 3 mins. The manager was belittling the situation and threatening my position

My current life situation has really brought my self esteem down and this quarantine makes it even worse. How do you lift yourself up when you feel low? I feel like I really want some validation that I’m attractive from someone but have never ever felt the need for it my whole life

Guy stood me and my friends up (he’s with his friends), then texted us 3 hours later to come to a different bar where he and his friends are, and apologized profusely. Said no. Do I forgive him tomorrow?

Tips for someone that’s trying to get pregnant but struggling with fertility issues

Was offered a role at fluent360 but I can’t find out anything about them… the only thing I’ve discovered is a fairly high turnover rate. Any advice?

Idk who needs to hear this, but…

Just because someone disagrees with your perspective, it does not automatically mean they’re gaslighting you.

It takes me so little time to get tasks for my job done but I need to hit utilization so I just stretch out my time…..

If someone gives you 2 hours of work and you have 2 days to do it. How long are you taking to turn the work in? 🤔

Starting a new job on Monday and can’t wait to update my LinkedIn. Love getting comments to wish me well on my new role. Can’t wait for my old co workers to see and react where I’m going 😈

Used to think I was independent and stoic enough to not care about dating & relationships, and then I realized it'd be really nice to share my time and energy with someone. Now I'm balding in my late 20s, living alone, and only really get to see my family. Online dating is a wash and feels like an incredible waste of time.

Hopefully lockdown lifts soon enough for me to meet someone before the rest of my hair goes. Baldness will not suit me well.

Friday evenings lost their mojo during WFH!

Love my boyfriend but embarrassed by him when he gets drunk... he always seems to be the drunkest person at happy hour when we go out w friends/starts slurring/eyes aren’t as focused. cant tell if I’m the one that’s being restrictive — does anyone else feel this way w their partner?

Gift giving help: every year around this time my husband brings up his Jan bday and basically demands I spend a lot of $ on him. I find this stressful. I don’t do big lavish gifts but each year I feel pressure to or he won’t be happy. When I say this he immediately launches into “haven’t I done this for you, bought that for you”. “If you loved me you would”. His entitlement and manipulation make me feel super resentful and removes the fun of celebrating him. FWIW we earn the same. What to do?

I have to keep reminding myself that I don't need validation from certain people. It's hard.
