One might observe that perceiving that an invitation for a glass of water while you wait for a tow is, in fact, the perfect time to ask some out is a hallmark of someone who could be fairly labeled a "creep."

Huh. The general rule of thumb I was told when starting with online dating was "move to a date as soon as comfortable, within the first two back and forths." The date would usually be really minor, but there's not a lot of point of communicating back and forth for long periods if you get to the coffee date only to

I think the only thing you can do in that situation is say that there's no one in the bed with you to judge her except for you, and you suggested the technique, so there's no reason to feel guilty about it. But I'm going to guess that this is an irrational fear, and like all irrational fears, it really needs a

No, no, no, you have to warm it up first. Otherwise it won't finish.

Hrm, really? My gf called the idea of a bi woman in a relationship with a bi woman and a straight man a unicorn.

It makes such perfect sense, I'm surprised we didn't call it that from day 1!

I think it's the nature of the rules of most strip clubs. A customer goes in knowing that there are forbidden behaviors and there's an etiquette to the whole thing that's governed with consequences (and if they don't know, they learn quickly). At a restaurant, it's not even like two different Chili's have similar

"P.S. is it rude to ask her when her shifts are?"

Um, the letter writer isn't describing the circumstances that made him into a creep. She's describing an incident in which she deployed the "I'm not into men" to effect, and just giving some background. She's not giving us a play by play of how a creep is a creep. She's saying that the order of events are:

I know what stereotype YOU'RE perpetuating

What if I chase it with beer?

The first twink he interacts with after that 3 months will explode though!

My advice is that you go make love to your spouse in a very thorough and consistent manner when that happens. Lots of foreplay.

My experience was that most people in undergrad were flaky and didn't quite get the "well, I have to go to work in the morning" experience when you tried to end the date on a Tuesday night. People who were paying their loans though were fine.

Yeah, I've worked in an office where we called someone "Jack" even though the name on their business card was James Edward Smith. It didn't make any sense, but there's a fair number of people who have some very odd family name ("Happy" comes to mind for women) that they were called all through their childhood and as a

The policy is that no matter what happens, you're a sex offender.

The time thing seems like such an obvious ploy, too. This isn't the 90s, when you'd stumble into someone on the street and ask them if they had a watch. You're in a STORE. There's a clock on the wall so customers know when they can get the fuck out so the owner can close. Plus, your phone is also a clock now. In fact,

The mobile app isn't great. Plus it honestly encourages you to make likes based on how people appear in their profile picture, since they're trying to capture the Tinder magic of immediately judging people.

"A kiss is not a contract, though it's very nice, yes it's very very nice. Just because we've been playing tonsil hockey doesn't mean you get to score the goal that's in my jockeys."

It seems odd that he'd ignore you, then wish you goodnight. Like, what's the point of that?
