@NurseJackie, I totally understand your dilemma as it happens to me a lot too. This is good advice though about being more flirty w/ texts…I tend to usually be very neutral in my texting tone with guys and I think that can come off as sort of disinterested.
I just can’t do fat free cheese of any kind. It’s got more of a rubbery texture to me. I’d much rather have some full fat feta on my salad for more flavor. I just try to limit the amount of times per day or week that I eat cheese to try to balance it all out.
Lately it seems I’ve been using LOL, HAHA, or HAHAHA+ for something truly funny. Or I’ll use loling if I’m legitimately laughing out loud. Haha at the end of a text comes off as kind of weak.
Caesar>House salad any day. Also fun fact, the original Caesar salad did not have anchovies, so anyone who insists on including that in the dressing can stfu.
Great article. I’m 26 and try really hard to not lead a boring life. This often means that I’ll be the one initiating plans amongst my friend groups, but I’ll be damned if I wake up at 40 and realize I wasted my younger years not living it up and trying new things.
I’m really trying to make more of an effort to be direct and communicative, but when this is met with rejection (usually by ghosting) it makes me 100% want to crawl in a hole and never attempt to date again.
B) So much this. I want to enjoy my own independent space for as long as I can. Besides saving money, I just don’t understand why after a year of dating, some of my friends just jump in and move in with their SO without a second thought.
I thought I was one of the few who hate deleting old texts but I’m glad to see I’m not the only one. I really need the extra storage damnit, but I like having things as a record because I’m nostalgic.
I love nights like these. Funny how they do always seem to happen on nights where I hadn’t planned to go out, but then randomly take up someone’s offer to go out.
Everyone else can give you shit for terrible takes but the advice for the last question was spot on. Following arbitrary “rules” is dumb AF and I’ve really been a fan lately of being more straight forward and aggressive if I want to pursue someone. Of course, it’s always nice to be pursued but I’m not going to wait around for someone to text me first or approach me at a bar.
I support the comeback of phone calls purely because they’re so efficient. Not only that, if a guy called me instead of texting me I’d probably answer because they are definitely differentiating themselves from the pack.
I really support #5 re: dates, but that also gave me a lot of anxiety because I know I’m not taking advantage of being single in my twenties and going on nearly enough dates.

Fuck this lamp, it really is everywhere.
I do this way too often. Even sadder, is when the chips are stolen from my roommate and stale on top of that.
Kids are always bad at acting. Finally someone said it.

“Soft Blanket” by Yankee is another great scent.

It’s been at least 4 months. PGP

There’s also the confusing AF “hit it off strong, end with a great make-out, then get ghosted”.
This might be the best take I’ve ever read here. Cadbury eggs are crack in the best way possible.
