| That feeling when you just click. Describe it. 7:30 PM. You’re finally packing up your laptop. The office lights have that weird, low-hum buzz that you only notice when everyone else has gone home. You check your phone. Three emails from your boss, a reminder about a dentist appointment, and a text from your mom asking if you’re eating enough vegetables. And then, there’s that other notification. It’s not from a client. It’s not urgent. But it’s the only one that makes your shoulders drop an inch and a genuine smile creep onto your face. It’s a reply from someone you started talking to earlier that day. Let’s be honest for a second. Dating when you have a career that actually demands your attention is exhausting. I used to dread the "dating app hour." You know the one—where you sit on your couch, mindlessly swiping left until your thumb cramps, judging strangers based on three blurry photos and a bio that just says "I like tacos." We don’t have time for that. I realized pretty quickly that I needed efficiency, but I didn't want to sacrifice the human element. I wanted the spark without the burnout. That’s actually how I ended up on latidate.com, mostly because I was tired of the shallow end of the dating pool and wanted a platform that prioritized actual conversation over gamified swiping. So, let’s talk about "The Click." You know exactly what I’m talking about. It’s that rare, electric moment when the conversation just… works. It’s not forced. You aren't carrying the entire dialogue on your back like a heavy backpack. On most apps, "The Click" is a myth. You match, you say "Hey," they say "Hey," and then the chat dies a slow, painful death. But when you’re using a platform designed for detailed profiles and meaningful interaction, the dynamic changes. Here is what "The Click" looks like for a busy professional: The Profile Check: You stumble across a profile that stops you. Not just because they’re attractive (though that helps), but because you see a photo of them doing something you actually love. Maybe they’re hiking a trail you recognize, or reading a book you just finished. Suddenly, you aren't thinking about a pickup line; you have a genuine question to ask. The First Reply: You send a message. You put your phone away to hop on a conference call. When you check back, the reply isn't just an emoji. It’s a paragraph. They answered your question, added a joke that actually landed, and asked you something back. The Flow: This is the best part. You find yourself typing quickly. You aren't overthinking your grammar or wondering if you sound "cool." You’re just talking. You realize you share the same weird pet peeve about slow walkers, or you both spent your gap year in the same part of Europe. |

| (D) would indicate a vessel that was choosing to not make way. The described vessel has lost it's ability to make way. |

| Once you lose propulsion you become a NUC and that is one Prolong & 2 short blast |

| You have went from a Power Driven Vessel Underway Making Way to a vessel Not Under Command due to an exceptional circumstance i.e. losing propulsion. Therefore, you would then change your signal to that of N.U.C. Rule 3 General Definitions paragraph (f): The term "vessel not under command" means a vessel which through some exceptional circumstance is unable to maneuver as required by these Rules... Rule 35 Sound Signals in Restricted Visibility paragraph (c) BOTH International and Inland: A vessel not under command, a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver whether underway or at anchor, a sailing vessel, a vessel engaged in fishing whether underway or at anchor and a vessel engaged in towing or pushing another vessel shall, instead of the signals prescribed in Rule 35(a) or (b), sound at intervals of not more than 2 minutes three blasts in succession, namely one prolonged followed by two short blasts. |
