Your social media stalking them already, this will end well.Did more Instagram snooping. Two of them are roommates, or were roommates in the past. This is gonna be fun.

So if you like your job, is it pretty much always a bad idea to date someone you work closely with? I get along really well with one of the women I work with and we're emailing each other all day (partly stuff for work, partly jokes and dank memes). I was thinking about asking her if she wanted to check out an exhibit at the art museum here, would that be a terrible idea? I've never been interested in a coworker before so haven't ever had a problem with the "don't shit where you eat" rule, but I really clicked with this person and would really like to try hanging out with them outside of work.
She's not my direct superior at work, she works in a different department that works closely with mine. We email almost every day, but probably see each other for just a few minutes each day to hand stuff off/ask questions, or up to ~30 minutes if neither of us are busy and we're just chatting.
Second date with tall shy girl went swimmingly. Started off with a quick dinner, then Netflix and chats at her place. This also marked the first time I've ever had a girl put her arm around me while watching a show, and the first time I've ever experienced being the small spoon (I've never been with anyone my height or taller). Good times all around.
Incidentally, I decided to hop on Facebook and look up the ones I have dates scheduled with. Seems like they're all actually part of the same fairly close friend group (multiple pictures together) and all involved in music programs at one of the three universities in my area. Looks like my presentation-style Tinder profile is just really drawing in the musical ladies from this one school, or they're all in on it for some reason. Either way, it's gonna be real interesting to see how things play out.

I mean, it's just Tinder matches at the end of the day. I strongly doubt I'll somehow be so compatible with all at once that it triggers some kind of conflict, hahaha.
I saw a girl with a presentation set up just like this, even down to the projected hotness. Too bad I never matched her. I was laughing out loud. A sense of humor gets you a long way. The only time I ever seem to get responses is when I open with a bad joke. Honestly I just love making cheesy puns.Looks like my presentation-style Tinder profile is just really drawing in the musical ladies from this one school, or they're all in on it for some reason.
My place, I already have everything setup in case that's an oprion.When given the opportunity to choose, do y'all usually go to her place or your place the first time you do a date at home?

Yeah, I like it too.
Personally though I wouldn't have 'good credit score' as one of my traits, and I wouldn't suggest I spend 1/4 of my time worrying about my finances either. I know those slides are just a joke, but people will read into them and I suspect neither of those traits are likely to received all that positively.
I guess I'm the only one who doesn't stalk before a date.
I mean, how can you when you only have an innocuous first name?
Yeah, for my last three jobs I was hired from January thru March. We'll see if this happens for a fourth time this January since I plan to apply for higher positions after I get my CCNA(Hopefully, I pass) next weekGood, you'll see an uptick in Jobs available starting in January because people tend to stay put in their current job through the holidays and change in the new year. Companies also start looking at making changes for the new year and that means new job positions. three of the last jobs I had were all January (thereabouts) starts.
I think women (rightly so) are more suspicious of men than we are of them.
I have no problem with them doing any internet stalking if they want.
You can filter FB searches by education and job. If that's on someone's tinder profile, (which it usually is) you can narrow down a search on FB. A lot of people also link to their Instagram which makes it very easy.I guess I'm the only one who doesn't stalk before a date.

Onto the next, that's modern dating for you.I had a really wonderful time with this girl the other day, we had a couple of drinks and really seemed to hit it off. But now she doesn't answer my messages. Well, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
Turn off message receipts. It's only good for internal business communication. Either she responds or not. Thats it.Man, I get unreasonably provoked by the fact that the girl I'm seeing reads my messages on fb messenger almost immediately after I send them, but answers hours later. I mean I'd get it if I wrote half a novel in each message, but the one this morning was super short. And I say "unreasonably" because I get that I shouldn't care, but I do. We have a date booked for Sunday, too, so it's not like she's not interested.

I don't think that's possible in facebook messengerTurn off message receipts. It's only good for internal business communication. Either she responds or not. Thats it.
Reading, or just seeing who the message is from (which is all she's probably doing at first) and responding are two totally different things. It's the same with texts - I will see who a text is from immediately, but if I'm in the middle of work, I may not be able to respond for an hour or two.Man, I get unreasonably provoked by the fact that the girl I'm seeing reads my messages on fb messenger almost immediately after I send them, but answers hours later.

First date with a girl last night - used to things escalating slowly, this time I got thrown in the deep-end. Met her family, her pets, had dinner with the parents...there was a moment that hit me like a truck right off the bat. She was playing with her daughter outside when I pulled up. She had to run inside for something real quick, so it was just me and the daughter. 2-yrs old, first thing she says "Are you my daddy?"
Oof. First date hadn't even started yet! I recognize she's young, recognized me as a male adult figure instead of anything biological, but still. (Still had a lot of fun with on the date, will be seeing again!)

Nah dude, I only said hi two days after we went out and then again the next week, and she left my message seen. I'm usually very careful not to look overly attached.If you re messaging her multiple times before she gets back to you / she contacts you, she'll think you re getting attached too quickly
Can't stress it enough : women need space / time to wonder about what you're up to. If you don't give them that, especially at the beginning (unless both of you are getting crazy infatuated) ... it simply sounds needy. And it's a turn off.
You wanna be the guy who has it together even if you like her, presumably a lot. Because chances are you re not the only dude she's dating ... and the other dudes are probably doing the same than you. Having a great time, then trying to get her attention. Stand out, don't do it, let her contact you. Keep texts to a minimum

I know it isnt. More importantly she's beautiful and fun and sometimes it's nice to do the exact opposite of what you know you should do.
The things we put up with because of attraction lol

This is like the start to a B movie
- College girls bait and screen Tinder date for organ harvesting.
She didn't want anything serious, so having a little make out or even hooking up would fit into that. Just be happy you got to make out and move on.Hey DatingEra, I'd appreciate some feedback
Tried to get in touch with a french girl. We're both abroad and have roughly two weeks before never seeing each other again.
Went eating pizza, didn't click as much. Talked about exes and stuff, so she (21) went on to say "since nothing will happen between us" (I agreed at that time) and reveals she might be into girls, but me approaching got her confused.
For whatever reason I somehow still ended up in her dormitory room and we make out at the end. Felt like more was possible but we had to stop because the roommate wanted to come back and go to sleep.
Next day - she's busy, giving a maybe, before saying "she had a fun night, but she didn't expect it to go any further"
---
End of line? Never write again?
Dumb me of course proceeded to tell her that I got the impression she wanted more and that I want her
time issue made me do this instead of playing it cool :(
Any advice on how to handle something like that in the future? And why do I get so hung up over this? I shouldn't worry that much, but I do. Overinvested? How do I stop that from happening? (it was far worse in the past)
Edit: In before I hit the gym today
