He became particularly sure of his feelings for her when she started dating someone else.

I’m an active duty Soldier (so people can feel free not to @ me). I say eliminate the damn thing. It doesn’t make any sense to play it anyway, and it always just makes me wonder if the Packers and Steelers forget what country they are in and have to be reminded at the start of every game.

Seriously, go fuck yourself. You don’t know me, motherfucker.

I know what these ladies are going through as I, too, have a third leg.

If you think Mr. Graham isn’t using an alternate account to follow Ms. Fenty’s Instagram, I have a beach house in Calabasas to sell you.

JC was also the better dancer. I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL.

Poor JC. Justin Timberlake got the career he deserved. He was a much better singer. Also, he over did it with the black hair dye. It’s looking a little Criss Angelish.

YES. I tried to stand up immediately after I got hit (and regained full consciousness). I couldn’t, cause my knees absorbed most of the damage, but I didn’t feel ANY of it. There was a cut on my arm that I had no clue was there until the doctor pointed it out hours later.

As someone who got hit by a truck (also in a crosswalk, the guy blew a stop sign), I’m laughing at this article and a lot of the responses. The best you can hope to do in that instant is to do a little hop to disconnect your feet from the ground. That’s all I did, and I turned out OK. You don’t have any time to think,

Everything about Trump, including his incompetent attorneys, screams you-know-who.

Final takes: My high school didn’t have a school dress code. My whole class managed to graduate, likely without being too distracted by a classmate’s bare shoulder. Abolish school dress codes TBH.

David Uberti is my boyfriend and let me take this moment to tell all you lovely readers that he has been out of town every. single. time. I’ve moved during our relationship (including into the apartment we now share).

Lol, so basically you are feeling kind of indignant about that one small sentence?

I did the thanks but no thanks with a number of dates, more often than not it got me some really childish insults in return. One even came back a few months later with a racist slur, that was fun. I think it was cordial and understanding twice.

Because often people react poorly to being told “I don’t think we should go on another date.” They want to know why, they want a chance to argue their case, to win you over. I think some people, especially women, learn that not returning calls and messages is as safe and clear a response as can be.

It’s not that simple. Without calculating the exact data I can tell you that about 80% of the time I say “I’m not interested” to someone after a date that was just okay, I get the bad rejection/demands for reasons why/asking for one more go/trying to friend me on Facebook/etc.

I’ve spoken with some dudes who were ghosted and it was readily clear why they were ghosted: they had dangerous levels of rage toward women. Sometimes ghosting is the only safe option.

I was gonna say “that all makes sense, but how hard is it to just be an adult and say you’re not interested?” Then I realized that a guy who writes in to an advice column to ask about getting ghosted would probably be less than understanding and demand reasons or explanations and try to argue. Ghosting is annoying and
