Questions

I plan to get a new job and a studio room close to eachother 10-20 min drive. I used to work one hour away as I live with parents and they live far in the inland empire of you guys where that is located.

I like be in the city as I’m not married yet.
my parents don’t own a home & broke , live in a senior apt that’s tiny like a studio no ac. I don’t like living here , I have no room, & parents fight daily & I feel weird to live like this at 29.

I start school Jan , so in 2 years I’ll make $8-9k a month when I graduate.
I liked my current job which is why I drove there an hour daily , but I would spend $800 a month on gas which led me to not be able to save.

I can’t find cheap studios at moms far city. I have 2 part time job offers near by here but I found cheap studio room at city by curnet job & by a guy I was dating. We had issue where I lived too far & we had planned I live 20 min away to meet more. But rn we r not talking anymore. Still that city is in the city by the beach.
im conflicted. I don’t even know where I want live in 2 years when I buy my house. I do like how quiet isolated it is here but then it gives me anxiety and boring. I don't know what to do.

Hey there! Met a guy at work (same level as me, but in a different department and building). I'm used to guys being straightforward in asking for my number and to go on a date, so this one is throwing me for a loop. On the one hand, he hasn't done any of that, so I can see either cautious (because of work) or disinterest.

On the other hand, he's very regimented when he walks in to work. He walks in, goes in the bathroom, comes out, then makes a right at the turnstile. If I happen to catch him in the parking lot, he goes out of his way to walk me to where I turn to go to my building. We linger and talk, laugh, he'll drop a profound statement, then we go our separate ways.

The convos aren't deep, but they have helped us learn a little about each other. I couldn't tell you how old he is, where he's from, where he worked before our company (I know he's new to us), if he's been married before (he does have a kid), nothing. I have complimented him a couple of times but he hasn't complimented me physically.

I feel like asking him out would answer my questions, but what say you?
