Why is it so hard to make friends? Met this girl on Bumble BFF and we clicked. Hung out a few times, she came over my house, etc. Now I feel like she barely asks to hangout in the last 2 months or so and doesn’t text back until much later.

She doesn’t feel the connection I guess — just move on

That’s true, maybe that’s it

Just depends, most of my friends have “seasons” where I see them a ton and then they kind of fade away for a while. I try to keep in touch every couple weeks with the ones who aren’t in season, but just let them do their thing.

I’m actually pretty happy with this set up. I have a couple times per year where it’s quiet and I can focus on other things in my life, and the rest of the year is spent rotating through different friend group seasons.

This happens to me and some of my best friends who live in the same city. You are busy and miss one text then have something to do the next day. It happens, sometimes we don’t see each other for months, other times we see each other every weekend for a month straight. Life is busy.

This morning I was lamenting two amazing friends I made about 18-months pre COVID. Post covid, they’ve both moved to different places and the ability to meet in real life has taken a hit. It’s such a loss because the three of us had an amazing run ☹️

Bumble BFF is an odd place. What city are you in?

Bumble and Meet up have been great for me. Met some lovely people and I use it every now and then to expand my circle. People lives and circumstances change, it's nothing to be taken personally esp in pandemic. Lots of people are coming out with all kinds of personal struggles

I feel like bumble bff is not a great return on your time . Meetups are excellent, taking classes excellent, volunteering excellent

I would do bumble bff again if we were to go on some sort of lockdown again

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!

My current role started out as a way to increase my skills, but for the past year the majority of what I’ve done is transcribing data between systems, which is one of the things I’m very bad at. My brain switches letters/numbers. With some recent changes, all other responsibilities were removed. I had a good reputation in the company before this, but now every day I feel like a failure because I keep making mistakes.
