Kind of a bad example there, since we also don't pronounce JPEG 'Jay-Pheg'

Yeah, that's a better phonetic spelling, and what I was trying to get across.

Realtor

By asking her.

My wedding is in two days. My advice is this: If you and your future spouse aren't really into weddings, then DON'T HAVE ONE. Planning a wedding is expensive, time consuming, and stressful. If you both don't think you really want one, and think eloping is more your speed, JUST DO IT. Don't let family members guilt…

I love that none of the 3 players involved had an easy time of it there. Mac has a tween the legs off the boards pass to himself, Stas throws a spinorama backhand pass, and Lando has to rifle a one-timer with the puck in a tough position.

They are the #2 seed in the West (and would have been the #2 seed in the East.)

Do you honestly think that if you see someone trip over a stick, and then after the fact you say "Hey, watch out for that stick" you're being anything but an asshole?

Ok fine, it's better to just continue to miss out on great life experiences than to seek processional help that could make you happier and more fulfilled. People should stop trying to better themselves and should instead just let their shyness and fear cripple them until they theoretically gain enough life experience…

And I am saying if that is the case then they should genuinely seek professional help about that. Allowing fear of impossibly unlikely scenarios to run your life is unhealthy.

1a) is fine, if you value her friendship and are afraid that her rejection would ruin it then that's a somewhat valid reason (though actually HAVING a relationship is far more likely to permanently end your friendship in the long run.)

Try this. Next time you convince yourself she would say no, think about the only 3 possible scenarios:

It's not a small sweet spot dude. Honestly, it's not. If you're interested in a woman, the only thing you have to do is tell them. Say "Hey, you're a cool person, would you like to go on a date some time?" Not "Hang out" not "Do something sometime" but use the actual word "date".

I'm sure I won't be the first response, but I don't want to refresh the page to find out.

For an even more enjoyable experience (imo) add some thinly sliced shallots into the mix. They cook at the same rate as the sprouts, so they can all go in at the same time and come out at the same time.

You don't get a football scholarship because being good at football teaches you skills you'll need in the work force. You get a football scholarship because college athletics brings in MILLIONS of dollars to a University and having more talented athletes improves an athletic program and brings in MORE money.

I think it's pretty obvious that the NFL just doesn't want to work with the institution that is responsible for Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Oh no, I understand completely, and that doesn't change my opinion in the least. Even your make believe world where it's super easy to tell the difference between playing hard to get and genuine disinterest you still have to push on the boundaries of someone who IS genuinely disinterested in order to find out if they…

Doesn't matter how you rationalize it. If you're going to go through life assuming that any time a woman says "no" she's just playing hard to get and you just need to keep pushing until she decides you've worked hard enough to sleep with you then you're full on rapey mc rapey pants.

Your implication is that grown adults shouldn't/can't learn that it isn't acceptable to act like a whiny child, and if you just pester a woman enough eventually she might have sex with you. That doesn't just SOUND rapey, it IS rapey.
