Why would you email out of the blue after a decade, say you missed me (even though we’ve never dated), and desperately want to know how I am? And when I respond and share my number, you don’t call? But email how nice it would be to see me or meet half way without actually asking/planning to? Maybe you were regrettably drunk when you sent the first msg. Maybe I’m misinterpreting your intentions. I’ll save us both the embarrassment by archiving your last msg and moving on…

There’s been a lot of personal growth for this young man over the last decade. He’s been looking back and thinking about the things he never said; the things he never did. He no longer wants to live with the regret. So one evening he took a chance and reached out to the person he had admired from afar. A young lady who was always funny, kind, radiantly beautiful. With the benefit of hindsight and greater maturity, he realized that although he wasn’t in the right place for a relationship all those years ago, he was ready to open his heart to the possibilities of the future. He made himself vulnerable and reached out to the one he could never forget. Because it was always her.

Maybe he’s hacked. Be cautious if he asks for money, scammers are savvy.

Also maybe he’s newly single and reaching out to everyone to see who bites. I’d block.

📌If you ask me, the person who reached out may be an Avoidant. Look up Avoidant-Attachment styles and you’ll see what I’m talking about. If you believe the person is an Avoidant, they are less likely to change and need healing through a Licensed Therapist. Outside of that, don’t waste your time anymore on people who will NOT be honest and keep it 100 with you. Furthermore, you need someone in your life who is consistent and respects boundaries. Always remember that!

Bain & Company Is it truly easier to get in a smaller MBB office?

Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

I grew up in a nuclear family away from extended relatives who were never really close. Parents were either emotionally unavailable or distant. All I've wanted for myself was a big loving family to call my own.. my parents are unaccepting of my sexuality & my partners family is also quite fucked up so she's isn't super close to them either. Honestly this sucks & it feels like I'll never have a huge supportive family I've wanted & craved for.
