«Many of us now work remotely, that is, the space for office romances has simply disappeared! People should find substitutes,» Vadim believes. He also invited men to share their experience. This is what the men and women of IT reported.
For some reason, they only write to me about work. Not even to be invited for coffee.
They tried to get to know me for personal purposes.
Some number of men from India (I didn’t count exactly). I am now very careful about adding them to my contacts.
And another one first wrote something about work, and then said that he was looking for a lover.
I will express an unpopular opinion. I’m in favor of dating on Linkedin. You just have to do it normally.
I never had a similar experience, but I thought that this is a really good method, since you often find someone here based on your interests, and most of our time is remote, so getting to know each other becomes more difficult.
Courted, but not «ours», because there are many Arabs/Hindus and others here, so there were certain «interesting» personalities.
Perhaps he wrote alone. I immediately shut down if the conversation goes beyond work, career, etc. I have a husband and a child, I am not looking for any relationship.
I registered on Linkedin, created a profile, added all my projects and skills, took a bunch of profile courses to raise the profile rating, and all this just to make an impression on hr girls and have them write to you themselves. A non-standard and very difficult way to meet someone. God, it’s so much fun. I almost cried from laughing.
Ahah, some Turk sent me his beach photo in swimming trunks. True, at first he sympathized a lot about the war and all that
I once had a letter in the mail with a job offer like «I’m also ready to communicate with the purpose of starting a relationship.» Unfortunately, I didn’t think to save it for history.
So constantly. I am writing that this is a platform not for dating, but for work.
They write periodically, but I don’t like it. But I would like to make friends with an interesting person. I once found the page of a man whose interests were 100% the same as mine, wrote to him to discuss them, and he to me — I am married. It was as if ice water was poured over me. I’m sorry, but I haven’t done anything like that to think something like that, and there’s little chance of meeting if we’re on different continents. I was offended and I don’t write to anyone anymore, because most men really usually take interest in a person for something more. I sit and wait for a person of interest to find me who wants to communicate.
It happened that the wives of the candidates answered not to write to their husbands, even job offers.
Sooo many times. Invited for coffee, offered to continue communication in other messengers, «let’s not talk about work, but about something more interesting»
When I read the post yesterday, I thought to myself, this is so inappropriate, but this morning, why not, we live in different realities and need to adjust. Organize a dating post, it can spread.
No. But I wouldn’t mind.
Oh, it was quite often, but all «non-professional» communication was off the platform, so that LinkedIn would not turn into Tinder, so to speak
They wanted to send a bouquet for an offer.
Yes, they wrote to me once, and if I wasn’t married, I would definitely accept the offer. I feel absolutely normal about this, and in fact, now is such a time that you hardly go for a walk somewhere, and if a person is lonely and you like someone here on Linkedin, then why not go for coffee, immediately at the meeting you will understand whether it is worth continuing communication or No)
There was one time when there was a motorcycle in the profile picture (ie, me and the motorcycle). But a long time ago. Now, probably, I am making too serious an impression.
There was also such a thing, so far this acquaintance continues quite successfully.
I was sent a dickpic… is it flirting or not?
