A puppy-kitty hug for you.

Oh, and I ghosted on one guy, but we'd gone out twice and slept together once, and then his texts got really obsessive, like, he'd flip out if I didn't respond after an hour or two bc I was working. So then I decided to just stop responding all together. I would never do that to someone I'd been seeing for one month,…

He ghosted AFTER saying "I love you"??? That terrifies me.

If it's that painful, you should probably go to a doctor — the infection can spread and really fuck shit up.

The "little bit sketchy" makes me nervous. Do you know/have you met any of the other escorts? I'd suggest looking around a bit at other agencies to find a place (or see if there is a place) that makes you more comfortable, then decide from there.

That is the life I want. And in those two hours, I want to eat some mac n cheese and read Jane Eyre or watch Gilmore Girls, maybe have a whiskey, then back to bed.

ugh, yes.

I am SO happy for you!!!!! You should be super proud of yourself for doing something so genuinely difficult and terrifying. I am glad that new, awesome, supportive women are popping up in your life too; finding that is hard, but it is the best when you do.

Let's take a moment to acknowledge that it is an affront to human dignity as well as to the natural-born right of autonomous perception, to imply (or worse yet, believe) that you can actually be "shamed" by an idiot.

He wasn't 'investigating' though, he was proving a point, one that hopefully reached at least a few people who didn't get it before.

Yeah...and writing "A Body For Every Body" against all size 00-2, almost all-white, long-legged, straight-haired women is not...great.

I think that's actually like, a lifetime average. According to the kinsey institute. And I mean, there is NOTHING wrong with not having very many partners. There's just nothing wrong with having lots.

I feel like that's a thing people think would be cool to try, and they try it, and then it sucks. (By "people," I mostly mean me but...)

I dated a guy who can't go a week without sex. He's definitely slept with many dozens of people but DAMN he was good. One time when we were hooking up post-dating, he told me I was the first person he was sleeping with after a "really long" dry-spell...which turned out to be 6 weeks. I hated him a little for that…

Man, I have had those months. I miss those months.

1) Well, if it was her plus three either people (why do you assume men?) it'd be a foursome so, good job with the counting.

Was it the first three in one weekend, or just an additional three? Either way, high five. But the former would be quite the story.

Only possible reaction: *giant eye roll*

What? How did you infer that? People, regardless of gender, are attracted to confidence, among many other qualities. There is plenty of data there. And young people, regardless of gender, often (not always, of course) make pretty dumb dating decisions.

I punched a grown man in the chest once for grabbing my boobs on the street. I doubt I hurt him, but I at least surprised him enough (I am 5' flat and tiny) to run away.
