His first job out of grad school was as an executive recruiter, which required him to spend hours on the site. I spoke with a man who met his current girlfriend on LinkedIn. Often.) One friend told me he recently "thirst-LinkedIn-requested" his hot former high school teacher-he didn't expect anything to come of it, just like you don't expect anything to come of liking a crush's selfie from two years ago. He deals with money and I eat Mario Kart fruit snacks for lunch. (BTW: I can confidently categorize this as a thirst-add because we would never cross paths professionally.
