Am I being too impatient?

I matched with this girl on a dating app mid December last year. We went on two dates, and then she traveled home for the holidays. During that time I tried to stay in touch but she replied me super late and eventually left me on read for more than a... See More »

They say to never meet your heroes

I'm at a Freddie Jackson concert and he's struggling to hit most notes and/or stay on key. He keeps yodeling to fill the gaps. I'm so disappointed. I guess he's old so I understand lol it's my fault for liking old school RnB

How much ambition is "too much" for you?

I used to think I was super ambitious, but after being around people who are like that 24/7 thanks to going to an elite school, I've realized that I just like to pursue things I'm passionate about, but am definitely not ambitious to the point of... See More »

Ever have the "one who got away"?

Thinking about this woman I dated briefly that things ended due to reasons beyond either of our control. But meeting her made me know that it's possible to find someone like her and not settle for less.

I used to think that I was intimidated by women who made more money than me

But after briefly dating someone who made almost double my salary that I got along with really well (ended for reasons beyond both of our control), I just realized it was their personalities. Also I noticed that this particular woman, unlike the... See More »

I'm 24 but I struggle to date anyone under 22

I feel like a grumpy old man in comparison.

Proud of how I'm handling situations now

It's little minor things but I've learned so much about myself this year. 2023 will be even better.

Online dating is rough

Sent paragraphs and paragraphs of texts before the date, minor hiccups at the start of the date but it went really well in my opinion. Ended with a really passionate kiss. And now I've been ghosted, no reply to my text after the date. Really hurts... See More »

First date ideas?

I don't want to just get dinner for a first date, that's kinda lame lol. I need ideas for something that's an actual activity that involves participation. Right now I'm thinking ice-cream in the evening followed by walking around downtown.

I want to stay out of my parents relationship but I can't because they keep forcing me to be a mediator. I'm tired. What do I do?

I [24M] want to stay out of my parents' [53M and 52F] constant fighting. Can't because they keep involving me, and one parent uses financial pressure to force their way. I am tired of having to be the mediator between my parents. It took several... See More »

Will it be wrong to send out a like to her twin sister?

"Dated" a girl I met on Hinge for like two months (we only really went out on three dates and were mostly texting during that period) and then she eventually told me it "wasn't going to work" and wanted to be "friends". She ignored a message I sent... See More »

Last night I took myself out on a date to red lobster

I had never tried lobster before in my life before then lol. It was underwhelming, I don't get the hype. Too much work for so little reward😂. And it just tastes like fish lol. But it was a very nice date. I took my kindle with me and was reading a bo... See More »

Learned through therapy that I don't have to keep myself in situations I'm no longer enjoying

Being significantly more decisive now and it's going to step on some toes but I don't care. I'm done trying to be agreeable/please people. It's so simple yet so profound. Lol.

How much pain and struggle did you go through before you eventually found "the one"? I'm feeling pretty discouraged.

How much pain and struggle did you go through before you found the one? Feeling pretty discouraged. I [24M] feel like I've been doing everything right but I'm pretty jaded at this point. Since I was able to develop crushes on women, all I've ever... See More »

How do I get out of this?

There's a musical coming to a city near me that I want to see, and I got two tickets to see it. I asked this girl I met on a dating app that said she only wanted to be "friends" because she was "too busy" to manage a relationship, and she said yes. I... See More »

My therapist thinks I don't need therapy for now

He said I'm doing much better lol. I've also learned a lot about myself. It's crazy how I catch myself modifying my behavior like I needed to do when I was a child for my parents approval. Except now I don't need to anymore. Because as an adult, the... See More »

About the woman in my last post

So... I just rejected her after the date. The date was weird, she wanted to walk around for like 5 minutes and talk while eating Icecream. And then she wanted to go home immediately (???) I also felt like she was running through a checklist and... See More »

What do ya know

The Lab contacted me this morning and they still want me to work with them!!! Job seeking has been EXHAUSTING but I'm so glad that it's all finally almost over.

My resignation meeting surprisingly went well

They were disappointed (I really thought they would've seen it coming) and almost even trying to convince me to stay. Well I was firm, and my boss says I should please stay and remain in contact/on good terms with him lol. So I guess that's it. I... See More »

This is the first time I'm ever resigning from a job, I feel anxious af

But also soooo relieved😅. Meeting in 2 minutes

I got a part time gig as a Calculus tutor that, funny enough, pays just slightly less than this stupid engineering job

I'm meeting with my boss in 45 minutes to resign, I'm pretty nervous hahaha. But I feel sooooo relieved. Now I'll have time to focus on my PhD applications and/or finding a job I really like that pays what I deserve with my qualifications.

I'm planning to take a career risk

Just want to tell some more unbiased people so I can get some unbiased opinions. I'm planning to quit my job without having another job lined up. I've come to this conclusion after a lot of careful consideration. I'm applying to PhD programs, and... See More »
