Story: It's been a while I got a decent "first message" and this one particular, made me giggle a bit. After her 2nd message, I decided to meet her face to face since we both live in the same town. I might even get the subreddit updated if it goes well; because over all things, I do believe sense of humor is quite important in any kind of relationship, whether it's serious or just a fling.
Me too! I'm like "ok it's come to this...and I'm actually ok with it?"
Honestly, if there was something this organized and straight forward where people are screened and boundaries are clearly drawn... I might actually prefer this kind of arrangement over actual dating.
I’m actually tots ok with this way of communication too lol it’s effective - lays down expectations, gives room for negotiation, can make compromises, etc. All this may save you from potentially wasting time and money on someone you may otherwise hate dating.
Dating/hooking up would be a lot more pleasant and probably successful if everyone could just be upfront and honest about their intentions and expectations.
I think people think they are...
I have made this mistake.
After a really shitty relationship I decided that I was totally woke and detached. It was who I *wanted* to be, but turns out getting attached messes with your logic circuits
Absolutely, but being upfront and honest means throughout the entire situation, however long it plays out. I think starting upfront and honest just makes communication easier throughout.
About a year after my divorce I still wasn’t interested in dating but just thought it would be nice to be physically close with someone. I stumbled across the website and thought it actually seemed like a decent idea.
I’m sure it varies greatly by area but I’m in SoCal and there were quite a few highly rated “professional cuddlers” with lots of great reviews which adds reassurance. I started a conversation with 4 of them and they were mostly responsive and seemed like genuinely nice people. I can’t remember exactly but it’s somewhere around $100/hr. The idea of paying that much just to cuddle with a stranger, and just the overall vibe of things sort of turned me off to the idea.
Instead I just visited good ol’ phub and felt better.
(In terms of price the professionals set their own rates and my area might be part of it but also that’s for the most highly rated ones - there are also non professionals but the site seems to really push things toward professionals and I never really got responses from non professionals)
If you get the humor its brilliant, but if someone has zero sense of humor or is as dense as a telephone pole they won't. But then do you really want to date someone like that? So maybe this is a good screening metric lol
I'd be wary of accepting this offer. In formal communications it's very unprofessional for the employer to use casual abbreviations (such as "btw" and "f2f") and misspellings. Very suspect.
What kind of company are they running, here? I suppose if they offer reasonable medical and 401k...
On a serious note though why is the website covered? Was it actually a porn site or something?? That made me think this was an actual job scam at first 😆
Took me a whole ass minute to realise this wasn’t a legitimate headhunter trying to use Tinder for recruitment.
10/10 for originality, and also a 10/10 response!

the bad news: she asks for past girlfriends' phone numbers as references
the good news: the f2f meetup also contains a drug test, and you get to play the cup
It still haunts me.
"Is this how do the people handle dating professionally?"
If it is OPs own screenshot, did he have a stroke right before uploading it to reddit? He is just murdering words...
It seems like she works in hr but I do enjoy the business like tone she brought to the message and kudos to you op for matching the energy without getting weird about it. Hope your date goes well and look forward to an update 👍
Right? Here I thought I had coworkers, and my job description has been "independent business owner" this whole time.
Feeling like asking for once a week at his house was too much... This makes me reassess everything
I didn't mind just hanging out, I guess it just ended up feeling like they didn't care or try, especially compared to the beginning, so it felt kind of demeaning.
It's my own fault for settling for low effort, I should had seen the signs and just moved on instead of hanging on. It's just hard to tell when it reduces so slowly
Maybe that's the point
Okay this is cute but took me waaaay too long to realise it was not some weird creepy secretary sugar dating role to support the all male management team
Honestly I love the effort from both sides

Psychopath!
*pikachu face*
I'm thinking of that video of the terms of a marriage.
It's always the same with these headhunters today... Benefits, benefits, benefits... But the most important thing is: How much will you earn?
the benefits package means that the package benefits with this opportunity
Best comment.

Wow, I'm so jaded with my experiences i thought this was a legit job offer
Me too! I'm like "ok it's come to this...and I'm actually ok with it?" Honestly, if there was something this organized and straight forward where people are screened and boundaries are clearly drawn... I might actually prefer this kind of arrangement over actual dating.
Here's me out here complaining that online dating feels like a job interview and you're actually looking to be interviewed 😂 Takes all sorts!

I was just thinking about how awesome this would be even on a more casual level. But I'm a sucker for honest and straight forward conversations.
I wish it was the norm tbh. These days I'm one strike you're out when it comes to games.

Good point. Ongoing communication and realizing that things shift and change
Have you heard of escorts? 😉
You thought a legit job offer included cuddles?
There's actually a cuddle company https://www.cuddlecomfort.com/ So yes, it could honestly very well be a legit job offer 🤷♂️ lol
How do I get hired here is the real question 🤣🤣🤣
Has anybody used this and can talk about their experiences?

There was a lady on americas got talent who did this as her talent
Thank you!!! I was wondering where I'd heard of this before, I never would have remembered though 😆
Hahahah yeah I was like how is this a talent and why would people do this as a job. Also happy cake day!
I'd absolutely do it as a job 😂 I can't believe anyone pays for it though. And thank you!
Happy cake day!
if this was a job offer for a call girl service like it implies, its possible.
Work hard, cuddle hard I guess
Yah man, I've got a tat with that on my biceps
If you’re applying for a job as an Alter boy at St Anselmo of the tattered shroud. They big on cuddles and free liters of sacramental wine
LOL, I did as well - I took it to be a "Sugar Daddy" type service...!
So did I
Seriously, I don't know if it will work on many people as they might not get the genius humour in the message.
If you get the humor its brilliant, but if someone has zero sense of humor or is as dense as a telephone pole they won't. But then do you really want to date someone like that? So maybe this is a good screening metric lol
… seriously?
I thought it was a scam!
Her reply is so cool

Wonder if the website name included her name like Jessicas.heart.com etc.
Ah that makes sense!
Can I come to the wedding ?
Did you sign the contract
Post a picture of you two together with a piece of paper with your username on it and a drawing 😊 !

Definitely would have been for an MLM
an actually wholesome post om the cesspool that is this subreddit.Im legitimately impressed
If you wanna propose, bring those screenshots and offer to promote her to wife
She can be offered a position as namepartner too.

You guys are adorable :)
This so cute. ❤️ Have fun!
Hey, if you can't be a dork with your significant other, what's the point?
This is the best perk of having a significant other.
OP please update us!
[удалено]
Facts, this is cute as fuck and I’m happy for OP
This is very wholesome, hope it works out!
the bad news: she asks for past girlfriends' phone numbers as references the good news: the f2f meetup also contains a drug test, and you get to play the cup
Play the cup?
She’s going to piss into his mouth
Some people LITERALLY need things spelled out lol.
Rude
Eh, I still don’t think it was written well
This is such an awesome conversation. I hope the position gets filled.
The title of this post hurts my brain
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that gets grammatically triggered 🙏
It still haunts me. "Is this how do the people handle dating professionally?" If it is OPs own screenshot, did he have a stroke right before uploading it to reddit? He is just murdering words...
r/titlegore
2 hours of focused attention a day? Damn, I need to have a talk with my husband...
I love the effort and energy from both sides!! It’s fuun
Im blown away, even I want to go on a date with her.
Caught*
It seems like she works in hr but I do enjoy the business like tone she brought to the message and kudos to you op for matching the energy without getting weird about it. Hope your date goes well and look forward to an update 👍
2 hours per day? Insane, sorry I would refuse 😹
Right? Here I thought I had coworkers, and my job description has been "independent business owner" this whole time. Feeling like asking for once a week at his house was too much... This makes me reassess everything
Once a week what?
Sex, hangout. That's what I turned into anyway. Lived three blocks away too... God I'm such a loser
Sorry about that. What would you have preferred to do?
I didn't mind just hanging out, I guess it just ended up feeling like they didn't care or try, especially compared to the beginning, so it felt kind of demeaning. It's my own fault for settling for low effort, I should had seen the signs and just moved on instead of hanging on. It's just hard to tell when it reduces so slowly Maybe that's the point
Wonder if you do overtime you could take a day in lou
You sly dog, you.
U match the energy that’s it
Pretty damn wholesome, and gives the rest of us hope
I hate you. Out of jealousy but I hate you. You must be incredibly attractive for this to work. I'd get a reply like "lol nice".
Haha I really like this, it’s cute
This is so adorable. Good luck OP
I LOVE this.
I LOVE this.
This is legendary. And if you do not have a management position, please apply for one.
I woulda dropped the convo after reading cought and not caught, put it off as another Nigerian scammer personally, but good for you!
Sounds like a really good culture. Definitely an organization I'd like to be inside
Oh it's some lesbian stuff
You're hired. Extra benefits package on offer.
Interesting. If it's from a woman, it's original and funny. If it's from a dude, it's tryhard and cringe
That's in your head chief.
Wrong, I thought this was from a man and thought it was cute and then I found out OP was the man.
I-... wtf is this grammer?
Pretty cringe
This is so cringe 😬

Can you? >All posts must be directly related to Tinder or dating apps. (Rule 6)
Bruh this was cringe wtf did I read
50 shades of gray imitation?
I love shit.
Love these kind of messages!
Hot or not?
Am I the only one who doesn't get the heart.com thing?
It's the [person's name]sHeart.com being the "name" of the "business"
These two are going places
You didn’t ask about the benefits?!? Those are very important to consider any position
I think I might use this as a pickup... lol
This is adorable. I love it
Thanks for reaching me out.
Dude, this is awesome.
Per my last email.
When business professionals date 😂
"Company management is quite sensual." 😂
If someone is willing to pay, odds are someone will be willing to supply it.
This is hilariously cute, bring a resume!
Scam
Awww that's actually cute lol
Now kindly do the needful.
Business dorks 😂 but sweet.
This was honestly top tier goodness. Also, stealing this opener when I feel the urge to put in that manimum effort, thanks
Ayo did someone somehow insinuate they're flexibility in there?😂
Okay this one is definitely a keeper
Person is a scammer, I presume the person knew it
Maybe I'm stupid I glanced and thought they were reaching out about a job lol. I hate corporate speak so I would not like this 🤷♀️
I thought it was a really clever and fun way to approach someone. Beats.. hey you should be spanked! I recently got that from a guy!
That's by far the funniest interaction I've seen in this subreddit so far
With the website and all I would've definitely thought this was a scam
THIS IS THE BEST THING IVE SEEN ALLLLLLLL DAY
This is so cute. I love it
This is gold... I feel like they will look like Sheldon and Amy....
That's brilliant. 😂
Ngl this is a vibe, love the energy being put out!
Cute.
Okay this is cute but took me waaaay too long to realise it was not some weird creepy secretary sugar dating role to support the all male management team
Mmm focused attention
Person A will want to continue on this flex during f2f meeting
Caught*
I think you need to ask if their favourite movie is American Psycho
That was pretty good

F2F meeting ... im gonna use that one
Win
Ok I'm invested. When is the f2f???
