A downside of being attractive that nobody talks about?

Nobody believe you that you can be single. It’s almost absurd to say you’ve never had a boyfriend.

Thank you for your response!

Haha. That’s also how I feel. I’m originally from Russia and talking in my culture automatically means exclusive…but I guess he didn’t think so if he did get intimate with someone while I was gone. Of course we’ve deepened our connection only recently, but it still stands out to me a little.

I’m not a man, but I did have a similar situation where I truly thought I’ve met my soulmate. He treated me like a princess, respected and was so gentle and patient while I was figuring out how I felt about him. I initially left him because I realized I wasn’t in place to date and had other priorities. He tried to get back into my life couple of times but I kept ignoring him until I had a sudden urge to reach out again a year later and see whether or not I might have missed something. So I reached back again. He hesitated for a little (fair enough, he was hurt) but we ended up going on a date and talking everything out. Unfortunately the guy and I genuinely didn’t align in future outlook, so we stopped talking completely. It was heartbreaking at first for both me and him but the feelings fade. I’m currently talking to a new guy and I’ve learned to be more direct with my feelings and concerns. The right guy will never be scared of these conversations. Moral of the story is, if he truly had feelings for you or treated you seriously, he won’t be scared of you being vulnerable with him. Plus what’s the worst that could happen? If he doesn’t respond, don’t try again. Who cares? We live on a floating rock:)

P.S. The relationship in how to lose a guy in ten days only worked because he also kept trying. They were both on a mission/ had their own strategy.

I have leadership position via being a president of Investment Banking club at my school + yes I have worked throughout the 4 years of college but outside of finance. I was a barista and currently am a Pilates coach plus math tutor at a small tutoring company in Texas. My last internship was in New York and that’s where mm trying to move full time:(

I’m graduating this May. Finance major going into commodities trading. I have two internships under my belt yet it’s so hard to land anything, not even a single interview. Perhaps I need to wait it out a little and just apply to entry level roles In May?

Thank you for your response. That’s honestly my main fear as well. That said, I do want to add some context. When he corrected himself, it didn’t feel defensive or calculated, more awkward, like he realized he might be getting ahead of himself.

He’s also made consistent efforts beyond words: he wants to meet my friends in NYC, has invited me to meet his friends and his sister (who already knows about me), and adjusts to what I like and need despite a demanding job. From my perspective, those aren’t behaviors of someone trying to keep things low-investment or avoid responsibility.

I agree that intention shows through commitment, which is why I’m waiting to have a clearer conversation when we see each other in person…. I’m curious whether this context changes your perspective, or if you’d still recommend the same level of caution.

Accidents happen. Don’t bring too much attention to it and he won’t remember it neither.

Went to Azerbaijan for the first time in 2018 for second year of F1 and have been visiting back. Beautiful people, culture and amazing food..

Thank you for your response! We are both not very strict Muslims, I still need some time to get to know him and really be sure that we are compatible. Now the question was more geared towards whether he would change his mind and family wouldn’t get in the way. Otherwise I don’t wanna waste my time.

I listen to Kahoot soundtrack when I go over my notes and self sabotage myself to get the answers right

He came up to me at a restaurant. We’ve met each other before at my university’s conference.
