Ha! Sure, I'll be around. Look me up!

Well, I think that's a matter of personal preference. From my experience, what you've got is a good old-fashioned summer fling and I wouldn't personally drag out my list of feels. I'd just limit my one-on-one time with him and wait it out.

Girl, seriously now, run. Get a car, get a cab, buy some sort of jetpack and GTFO.

My partner and I were on more or less the same timeline. We met in February 2011 and moved in together exactly ten months later. I was 32, he was 29 and neither of us had lived with a romantic partner before. This is what I wish I'd known:

I think that smart & misunderstood vs dumb & popular dichotomy is really interesting because I've see it make so many people so bitter. It happened to my brother and me. We were told, essentially, that all I had to offer the world was my brain because I'd never be liked or loved on my own merits, while my brother was…

I am awarding you one slightly used internet for admitting what I've suspected most BC fangirls won't say: They're attracted to a decent-looking actor because he plays a smart, emotionally unavailable sociopath. It's sort of the same thing with the fictional Mr Darcy. Don't get me wrong, Benedict Cumberbatch the actor…

My grandparents' gardener did that with cobras instead of spiders (I guess when you're dealing with cobras, spiders become nbd.) He was a Buddhist so he refused to actually kill anything, he'd just throw them into the road to get run over, then collect them, burn their heads (so their cobra spouse couldn't come back,…

Not only that, Carole King wrote it.

Right? I remember the first time I saw High Fidelity and when he sang Let's Get it On in the end scene I was like "Oh, haha, this is going to be funny...wait, WHAT?"

The only thing I know about BF is she's famous for Skinny Girl. So not only is being skinny obviously something she personally values highly, but she's built a business around it. The desire for one specific body shape (which she implicitly if not explicitly brands as The Best regardless of cost...she's not selling…

Episcopalians Represent! Frozen Chosen por vida!

Exactly. She went to a HBCU, has a closet full of shoes to rival Imelda Marcos (TOPICAL REFERENCE) and enough advanced degrees to wallpaper Versailles. Her partner has proposed but she wants to focus on her career right now and he's cool with it because their relationship is based on mutual respect. She doesn't cook…

Right? I mean aside from all the other questionable aspects of this whole mess, that is just a really terrible ROI.

I grew up in the South (Virginia and Texas) and have never heard that.

Chinatown, no question at all.

Subtle Jonathan Swift reference? I literally cannot think of a LESS subtle Swift reference, including "IF YOU WERE A POOR IRISH BABY I WOULD EAT YOU." But then again the "social experiment" term made me roll my eyes. There's a Sigfried for every Roy though, and I'm glad you found yours. I hope this guy is equally…

Oh God the traje. I don't care if it will cost thousands of dollars. Señor Periwinkle needs one, badly. I wish there were a version of bullfighting where the torero would just do some fancy paseos, leaving the bull unharmed, and bend over a lot. Olé!

I am saddened to say it is not a Yankee thing, but a Texas thing, which spread its tentacles of smugness all over the country.

I know you're not being a dick and it's a fair question so let me explain it sociologically: Humans are ritualistic beings and it is in our basic social contract of all societies to dispose of our dead ritualistically and respectfully. The ritual changes depending where you go, but the respectful treatment of remains…

I think that was almost 100% a scare tactic. It's entirely possible that there was once some isolated incident that grew into urban (rural?) legend, but I doubt if there would be anything more than that. My family has a ranch in Texas and I'm sure my great uncle has hired undocumented workers in his day, but the point…
