I’m looking for a real connection with a woman—nothing superficial, just someone who’s willing to show up and communicate in their own way.

Age, background, ethnicity, religion, and financial status—none of that matters to me. Whether you’re 22 or older, divorced, have kids, or coming from a complicated past—it’s all okay.

What matters is effort and presence. You don’t have to be perfect at expressing yourself—even simple communication or non-verbal (like gestures, sign language, etc.) is completely fine.

I want someone who genuinely tries to understand and be understood.

If you’re nearby and feel the same, feel free to reach out.

I’m 2 months into a sales role in Saudi Arabia (ELV + cybersecurity solutions / system integration).

I’ve now been given a 5M SAR target in 45 days, with job risk if it’s not achieved.

Context:

I’m new to the Saudi market

No existing client pipeline yet

Role is mainly outbound B2B sales

Strong technical team, but sales pressure is fully on me

I want to sell solutions that actually help clients, not push unnecessary systems

I’m trying to understand how this is realistically handled here.

For experienced people in Saudi B2B (especially ELV / cybersecurity / IT systems/smart building):

Is this kind of target realistic for a new joiner?

What’s the fastest way to build a serious pipeline here?

Which sectors convert fastest (contractors, consultants, end users, oil & gas, government, etc.)?

What actually works in outbound in KSA right now?

Any survival strategies when starting from zero network?

I’m open to direct feedback—even if the answer is that I need to change strategy completely.

Just trying to approach this the right way and not waste time guessing or else its game over (I have no extra life)????anyone

Hey everyone, I usually drive myself, but I’m without my vehicle today. I have my visa and all documents ready to go. What’s the most reliable way to get across the Causeway today? Any advice on current wait times would be great.

TL;DR

I [26M] am meeting a girl [26F] for a first date after meeting on Bumble. She previously pulled back because things felt "too real," but we’ve reconnected over calls. We both have a history of losing ourselves in partners. I want to know if I should maintain a hands-off, "watch her grow" approach or if I need to be more proactive about her potential to withdraw again.

​The Situation:

We live in neighbouring countries (Country A and Country B), but it’s only a 40-minute drive between us. We’ve had great chemistry over calls—we can talk about anything from intellectual/nerdy topics to just bantering.we have lot of things in common in aspect mentality in maturity till now as far as know.

​The issue is that she has already pulled back once before because the connection was starting to feel too serious for her ( like we met online and she would have preferred to meet someone organically). I respected that decision and let her go, but we eventually reconnected. We both share a common trait: when we date, we tend to make our partner our "world," which makes breakups devastating.

​I’m excited to meet her, and based on our calls, I feel confident there is a strong mutual attraction. However, I’m worried that as things get more "real" in person, she might pull back again.

​My Dilemma:

I don’t believe in convincing people to stay or trying to change them; I prefer just to be present and let people grow. However, I’m unsure if this "passive" approach is the right move given her history of getting cold feet. Because of how my brain is wired, I strongly prefer communicating in person or via calls rather than texting, and I worry that my desire to truly get to know her might feel like "too much" for her.

​Specific Advice Requested:

•​Given that she has withdrawn before, should I intentionally give her more space than usual after the first date to keep from overwhelming her?

•​Is the "just being present" approach healthy here, or should I be more direct about my concerns regarding her pulling back again?

•​How can I balance my need for deep, in-person/voice communication without making her feel like the relationship is moving too fast?
