If you want it to be a date TELL HER THAT. Jesus Christ. You want to know how to get out of the gray area? Communicate. “Hey, I like you as more than a friend. Would you like to go out and grab drinks to see if there’s something more there?”
It’s all in the intent. Date implies an INTENT of romance, regardless of whether or not said romance materializes. And for it to be a date both parties involved have to go in with the same understanding and intent of romance.
If I was reading something like this written about me I would be hurt and offended that you were reducing our friendship to whether or not there is a chance you could have sex with me.
I thought the same thing. When I knew my best friend’s then-boyfriend was about to propose I made sure her calls would go through my do not disturb. She called me at 3 am my time to tell me.
There are plenty of other reasons to take shots… to celebrate, to kick off the night in unison with your friends, to get another drink in quickly while you’re closing out your tab to head to the next bar…
Have to disagree with the major travel rule. On multiple occasions I have blacked out the night before a 6 or 7 am flight only to come to as my plane is landing safely in my destination city.
I grew up in Colorado where everyone used the cardinal directions instead of left/right. Now when I try to give directions that way in DC people look at me like I’m crazy, despite the fact that the entire city is based on cardinal directions.
Wow. When I forget my headphones on the DC metro the only things I get to hear are people coughing and the gross things random men say to me that would normally be drowned out by my music/podcast.
Working from home at my parents’ house this week. All the comfort and free food but I have an excellent excuse to ask the family to please give me personal space. My mom is “just happy to have you home, sweetheart.” It’s a win-win.

Nope. Sex and romance are two separate things that sometimes overlap, but you can have each without the other.
Rewatching all these old shows and realizing you’re attracted to the parents/teachers now instead of the main characters you used to adore… PGP

I caught myself thinking how cute a timelapse engagement post would be and now I hate myself almost as much as I hate Girl.

It’s not drinking alone if your dog is there.
I’ve been debating sliding into the DMs of my favorite coach at my gym. This just might be the push I needed to do it.

Haven’t weighed myself since before Christmas and don’t plan to until I’ve had a couple weeks back on my normal eating/gym routine.
Preach. Had a very similar situation play out with an ex. Wish I would have dumped his ass the first time he made me feel like shit.

“Dismiss all accusations from your parents about you being an alcoholic.” I do this every day of the year not just during the holidays.
Condoms alone won’t protect you either. God people are stupid.
Yeah someone didn’t pay attention in sex ed.
I can’t wait for next week’s column so we can read how everyone ruins Christmas for their families.
