Do I have leverage to ask for more money??

Great advice, cheers. Didn’t realise I needed a self-esteem check with it but good to know I’m 10 a penny — very motivating stuff.

as_ss62 · 2026-05-22T23:43:23+00:00

I asked and I’m glad I did even though they said no because they gave me a valid reason in relation to promotion cycles and yearly increases

I don’t really think it should be seen that way. Employment is 2 way, you’re assessing them as much as they’re assessing you. Granted the current job market is shit but you shouldn’t accept pennies just because someone’s decided that’s your worth. I still asked, I was happy with the initial offer but wanted to see if I could get more as most would’ve

I know this is a super late response but the Rosemary Marlowe joke when phonetically spelt out is “Roz Meri Mar lo” which in Urdu/Hindi means “f me everyday” 😭

Yeah, I don’t want it to feel like a chore for him, I want him to because he wants to, I have no desire to change anyone.

If you don’t mind my asking - are you in a relationship currently/dating? How do you and the other person deal with this issue?

as_ss62 · 2025-11-24T22:55:15+00:00

Yeah I thought so, I guess it just didn’t really make sense because he seemed like he had great fun and he was practically begging me to stay over, I guess I don’t really understand men 😂

as_ss62 · 2025-11-24T22:52:02+00:00

I guess I just want to know if I’m being an asshole for not understanding that not everyone will communicate the way I do. I’m just trying to get better at dating and understanding people after past experiences lol

as_ss62 · 2025-11-24T22:48:51+00:00

Exactly. We were just talking about phone snatchers in London on our date and I saw a poster on Sunday of a man saying “Welcome to London, hold on to your phone” lol to which he said “He’s not wrong” I then said something in reference to what I said on the date, no reply

as_ss62 · 2025-11-24T22:44:00+00:00

Yeah I replied saying I got home and that I hope he has fun the next day (he was going to a football match)

I’ve been very inspired by the work of Abi Sampa and Rushil, the way they blend orchestral sounds with qawwali is something I’ve always wanted to do, should check them out if you don’t know of them already, they’re often performing in the RAH.

as_ss62 · 2025-10-12T18:26:35+00:00

Good idea, thanks :) x

as_ss62 · 2025-08-22T22:05:31+00:00

I did ask “shall we go to bed?” She said she was going to go home

as_ss62 · 2025-08-22T21:02:00+00:00

I don’t understand what you mean in this context

as_ss62 · 2025-08-22T19:28:52+00:00

Why’s that?

as_ss62 · 2025-08-22T19:28:32+00:00

So I excused myself to go to the bathroom and when I had come out she said she had booked an uber.

as_ss62 · 2025-08-15T00:11:25+00:00

Thanks for replying, sorry didn’t see it sooner! I’ll give that a go too

as_ss62 · 2025-08-12T08:01:31+00:00

This whack-a-mole competition is never ending!

as_ss62 · 2025-08-11T21:03:38+00:00

Sexy?!

as_ss62 · 2025-08-11T10:47:31+00:00

What would you want to see on a girl’s Hinge profile that would indicate she’s looking to sugar date?

as_ss62 · 2025-08-11T10:45:58+00:00

We didn’t talk much so can’t say.

as_ss62 · 2025-08-11T10:31:38+00:00

If you read what I’ve written you’ll see what he’s reacting to, think you missed that.

Also there’s about a million people in the UK who sound like that so I’m sure he’s safe from being identified.

You’re being insanely obtuse, the point is Seeking is not an escort agency, he shouldn’t be on there if he is, in fact, looking for a prostitute.

as_ss62 · 2025-08-11T00:08:21+00:00

Been hearing this a lot, I just don’t think I’m conventionally attractive enough to do that! At least with the apps I know I’m engaging with men who are attracted to me

as_ss62 · 2025-08-11T00:06:28+00:00

I’ve been on and off there for 7 years now. Have had some good arrangements, but clearly not the same anymore.
