Polls: Dating

I’m asking to see results, how people process similar situations—not bc I’m trying to solve a problem personally. 🙂

Someone asked a post where they want to flirt with a work colleague that is merely being nice and it brought this question to my mind.

Would you date someone at work

I know a number of relationships start at work but almost as many people view dating at work as a "I don't shit where I eat" situation in that the potential hassle isn't worth the risk.

It is such some companies have completely forbid it in writing within employee contracts.

Not only does someone have to deal with the potential HR reprecussions if the one person isn't interested and the person who is interested can't take the hint / leave them alone.

But then there's the mess at work if the relationship goes south / ends badly & you have to still work together.

Is 5foot1 short for woman?

28F, I’m just leaning towards bad luck. I’m very introverted & not the friendliest but I don’t think I’m intimidating. I’m told I’m cute/attractive, it’s not like I’m a runway model yet guys just never approach me. I’m told guys look at me but they never do anything about it & I’m too shy. I know there’s nothing wrong with me, most women seem to get guys so easily. That’s why I’ve been on and off the apps since I was maybe 18, getting matches has never been a prob. Convo always fades, ghosting, lack of interest (goes both ways) & some guys who are crazy. I’ve tried a lot of them, usually I stick with Hinge. It’s always a pattern of the guys I want who don’t want me back & the ones that want me I don’t like back. For maybe the past year I’ve become less and less interested, I reply to matches/msgs every couple of days? Even when I was more engaged it still led to the same pattern of no success. A few people have said maybe I’m asexual (haven’t had sex or masturbated in years), assume I’m gay or I’m unsure of what I want. Maybe they’re all wrong & simply I haven’t found the right person? I dated someone for a few months back when I was 23 & after dealing with someone I felt like I settled for, I decided I’d rather be alone vs be with someone I am not crazy for. I’m kind of at the point where I’m apathetic & I just feel too old to be bothered.

Natural redheads inherit two versions of the MC1R gene that leads to red hair – one from their mum and one from their dad. I know that many people hate red hair in my country and also the UK. The hair colour may change with age but the genome remains the same. Curious to know your thoughts.

He didn’t wish me for my birthday and I wasn’t invited to his surprise birthday party (organised by his best friend because the best friend doesn’t know me and the crush made up after an argument and apologised and we’re on good terms now)
Should I wish my crush for his birthday? Just saying “happy birthday :)”

So if you're a 7, a 5. Complete devotion and monogamy.

2 points out of 1-10 is just for you to get a visual. I'm not talking about you dating the least attractive on earth unless you're really that unattractive.

Don't select D unless you're really certain.

We haven’t really talked much, I told him I’m not on the app often. He then gives me his #, I ask if he’s on social media bc I’d prefer to share my # at a later time. He says he’s only on Facebook, gives his name & when I look him up, he only has pics of he and a little boy (guessing his kid). But he doesn’t have on his dating app profile he has kids BUT he has a pic of he & the kid on his profile. Plus I don’t feel safe adding on FB either, that has my name & my family is on there etc
