COMMUNICATION, PEOPLE. It's like fucking magic. Not making your desires and expectations clear is not a fun game. That's just shitty interpersonal skills.

Ugh, everybody starts all "just hanging out, casual, no boundaries" under the mistaken assumption that this makes things easier/more relaxing, but all it does is put both halves of the couple on separate, private anxiety tracks: "Does Other Person like me? I like OP, but if OP doesn't like me what'll I do? I mean, OP…

How sad. This is men putting forth zero effort and still getting laid on the regular. To even call a date a date is too much commitment for them.

If you meet up with someone from a dating site, you are going on a date. :headdesk:

Here's how I know when I'm on a date - when I ask her out on a date, she says yes. If we didn't have so many nutless boys too sheltered and socially awkward to just ask a girl out like a man and instead try to slide into her via her social circle and "hanging out," this wouldn't be an issue.

Fool-proof way to test eggs: you fill up a bowl with water, enough that the eggs will be covered. Then you gently drop the eggs in. If they sink, they're good. If they float, they're bad. As long as part of the egg is touching the bottom, it's okay if they stand up straight or lean to the side. But if they float- toss…

"Ketchup that’s been opened should only stay in the fridge for six months, even though it’s a condiment, and only one month if kept in the pantry."

I don't throw anything out until it smells/looks/tastes bad. I hate when my coworkers throw out perfectly good yogurt because its 2 days past it's expiration dates.

Oh shit, I also still get bitter remembering my 'best friend' in 7th grade. She got our group of friends(again, I use the term loosely now) to gather up on my 13th birthday...so they could all tell me that they really hated me and weren't my friends anymore. On my 13th birthday. I ended up eating lunch alone in the…

Yeah, most of my coworkers and friends have no idea who I'm talking about even if I mention them by name or their roles. They're definitely popular in geek culture, but even the friends I have who enjoy seeing movies like The Avengers or Star Trek don't know Hiddleston or Cumberbatch by name.

The anniversary of my dad's death is coming up, and you asked for stories of "slight hauntings," so I think I'll share this story again:

I dunno... Rage about estate taxes? Didn't care for the cufflinks they're buried with? Afraid they left the water running in the yacht? Sock bunched up under one foot?

I would, seriously buy this house, especially if it was haunted.

Yes. This.

I think I know you, like in real life, but regardless your comments are a breath of fresh air on the unfortunate turn on this thread.

I know they're huge on Jez, but are Tom Hiddleson and B. Cumberbatch really that huge in America? I'm sure people know them by their more famous characters, but Sherlock still has a pretty cult following in America (unless I'm missing something, it's entirely possible). And Hiddleson is most famous in America for his…

Well, just in case you're not being trolly and willfully oblivious, the point I am saying is that people do not actually go around to thin people all the time and say "OMG You are so thin and so much prettier than me!!!"

Yeah, it's tough in group situations. I hate hate HATE having to sit there and listen to women compare and tear themselves down. That's usually the point in the night where I go put some music on or play pinball or something (because we're always at the bar).

He has few friends because he treats his friends badly. Which is not your problem. You deserve better.

How awkward is it to be the size 4 in the office, and watch the two size 8s competitively dieting, while you share cookies with the size 18 who doesn't give a rat's ass about her size?
