Went on an amazing date with a guy a week and a half ago and he immediately suggested a second one and we kept texting. He then said he was busy that week so let’s have the second date the week after. The texting remained pretty consistent.

It’s the second week now and we’ve continued texting but he never brought up the second date; after our most recent conversation he never replied and it’s been over 2 days now.

I don’t wanna seem desperate but I also just wanna know if he’s simply not interested anymore and have that answer for my peace of mind. Should I double text him tomorrow or leave him be?

I’ve been a vegetarian since birth but most of the guys I date are meat eaters and usually a bit judgmental about my vegetarianism. It’s not always possible to find a vegetarian partner and I by no means try to convert them but it’s hard to eat out sometimes.

A guy I’m seeing is on atkins and only eats protein and no carbs and barely any sugar. He wants to go to a steakhouse like Texas Roadhouse or Outback Steakhouse for dates but I can’t eat anything there except for Mac and cheese or fries which I don’t think qualifies as a ‘meal’ for me.

He told me it’s hard to eat with me and I felt really bad about myself since I’m willing to compromise and want him to be happy but make sure it’s something that works for both of us. I don’t want him to cheat on his diet and I want us both to be able to eat a proper meal at the same restaurant so are we screwed?

I recently started working for a large company with multiple offices. While the vast majority of employees work day shift, there’s a significant night shift workforce as well. I’m the only one in my department who stays til about 10 pm and have recently had weird interactions with the cleaning staff here, they’d pass by my desk and give me the stink eye or stare at me if I walk past them, they’d laugh and talk loudly with each other in the hallways and common areas, and yell at each other in Spanish from across the bullpen so I can’t focus on my work. They have wet floor signs placed in areas we need to access and get mad when we cross over.

They would also aggressively push the chairs or shove their vacuums between our feet instead of asking us to move. My first couple of days, I was a bit turned around and was trying to find the clock out area and walked back and forth between the main floor about 3-4 times. The cleaning lady got mad at me and yelled that she just cleaned there. I tried to ask her for help but she spoke little to no English. I understand they do a difficult and underpaid job but getting mad at other employees for existing in their cleaning space is absolutely crazy to me. I feel uncomfortable with the constant staring and dirty looks.

Recently moved to an apartment complex in a new town and a have feeling I’m about to get a job in a totally different city. If this happens, what are my options to get out of the lease without eating the $3k lease termination fee? They don’t allow subletting either. I broke my lease without penalty in the past due to experiencing sexual assault but this was a genuine incident. Texas by the way.

I’m a relatively new driver and only got my license a few months ago and have never been on the highway. I had no one to teach me so I couldn’t start learning until quite later than other people my age. Although I’m able to get myself places, I tend to make mistakes and get confused and generally avoid driving after 5 pm. I recently got a job in a new city which is known to have awful traffic and terrible drivers and I have to move for it, I initially found an apartment I liked in downtown but my work is all the way in the very isolated northern suburbs which are 25 minutes from downtown. This area is meant for families, doesn’t have nightlife, isn’t near the water at all.

I work night shift and figured I can’t drive 25 minutes (45 minutes-1 hour without the highway) in the dark 5 days a week and thus have to be away from the fun. I can barely even see at night and this route goes over a bridge on a lake and a flyover. My car isn’t in the best shape either to be able to make that drive every day and I can’t afford a new one. ALL of this combined made me realize that I have to get an apartment I hate but is super close to work. I hate that something I can’t control is forcing me to make a major life decision I’m not happy with all for a temp job. This whole thing sucks.

TL;DR Moving to a new city and torn between moving to the fun part of town or near work

I have the option of choosing between two places: one a 7 minute drive to work and the other a 26 minute (45 minute- 1 hour with traffic) drive to work.
I’ll also be working swing shift hours (1-9:30) so most likely avoiding the high traffic hours. This job is also a temp job.

The apartment near work is super nice and a bit cheaper but in a super isolated area, devoid of any culture and consisting of mostly families and is 25 minutes away from downtown.

I’m young, single, in my 20s and the other apartment is in the fun part of town near activities, downtown, etc. similar in price, although a bit smaller and in a slightly sketchier area.

Which one should I pick? I wanna be able to date and do fun stuff easily but also should I put myself through that commute 5 days a week?

Anyone know of shops that can fix a car ac for a reasonable price? It’s blowing hot air after a while and might need a recharge or something else, not sure.

Anyone have experience with the Hamilton apartments on panther trail? Seems too good to be true and there’s only 26 reviews on there.

Has anyone lived at the grove? What are your thoughts? Couldn’t find out if it’s gated or not.

I’ll be starting a new job in north Austin (think near Pflugerville) in a few weeks and it’s a contract role so I’m not sure it’s worth relocating. Is the commute doable? It’s about one hour on I-35 and I’ll also be working swing shift so realistically leaving my house around noon and coming back around 9 pm. Is the commute worth it or soul crushing? I’m applying for other jobs actively so thought I’d do this for a month or so while I reevaluate next steps.

In the past month, I’ve made it to the final round interview for 4 different roles with Thermo Fisher. No matter how well the interview goes and I walk out feeling like I closed it, I get rejected at the end. It’s ridiculous because they have 4-5 interview rounds and I spend a lot of time preparing and get my hopes up only to get denied. The interviews themselves have told me they loved me and my answers were perfect.

I heard Thermo mostly hires internals so I feel like I’m given an interview just for the statistics and denied in favor of someone they already had picked. I asked for feedback on one of my interviews and they said that other candidates have more sales experience which was evident in my application well before interview #1 let alone stringing me along till interview #6. Should I just stop applying with them? It’s a company I’ve wanted to work with for a really long time but I’m sick of wasting my time.

I absolutely LOATHE driving to Walmart cause it’s far away from me and involves a lot of complex turns and busy intersections. I’d usually go to Target even though it’s more expensive just because it’s 3 minutes away from me.

This time I needed something only available at Walmart and met the pickup minimum so I decided to conquer it once again! I have only been there thrice by myself in total. So I woke up at 7 am to avoid the weekend rush and got there and back with no issues! I decided I didn’t care what the other cars were doing in their lanes and my mission was to just stay between the lines and go when it’s clear.

Got offered a temporary job in a city about 2 hours away from me. The pay is only $24/hour and it’s a large city so I’m gonna be struggling to make ends meet. They said the position can be anywhere between 6-12 months with a potential for renewal. Also this job is perfect and will sponsor my work visa.

I live in the country and have a remote job right now which pays $22 but is a dead end job, I absolutely hate it and plan on quitting soon (think in about two weeks ) and they may or may not sponsor my visa, but at the same time I don’t wanna risk everything for a job with no stability. Is it worth it?

What are some good sit down restaurants preferably near east or downtown Austin which don’t have $80 entrees and have at least some vegetarian options? I looked it up and I mostly get suggested bars. Also not a fan of Mexican food.
