See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

is there any polite way to tell my roommate/friend to stop touching his balls all the time? he seems to think no one notices, but they do. it makes me not want to be in public with him, which is a problem bc we spend a lot of time in public together

i’m sorry. i’ve tried to think about this. i really have. but i don’t know that a polite way to tell your roommate to stop touching his balls exists. i’m so sorry.

theres a girl ive liked for a long time. she asked for my number a month or so ago, but she had a live-in gf then, and never used my number, never texted or called. we always flirt when i see her, and i just found out she is single (through someone else).

should i ask her out? should i assume she still has my number? should i wait and let her ask me out because she just left a relationship? SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL RIESE PLEASE HELP ME
—–
there are many ways into a girl’s pants that do not involve dates
just ask her to hang out/go out
if she just got out of a relationship
she’s probably looking for new friends
it’s possible her gf was possessive
and wouldn’t have let her hang out with you before

also
if there’s always been sexual tension/flirting there
then i feel like things will unfurl in your favor
kissing and so forth

then you take it from there!

I’m moving to Boston to go to uni next week, and as an 18 year-old dyke, I’m worried that 18+ nights and dyke nights won’t coincide. Where can I meet girls and make me some rainbow friends?

+ knitting club
+ rugby
+ open mic night
+ activist clubs
+ pottery/ceramics (trust me on this)
+ your women’s studies class
+ your campus queer group?

is it because of the l word that you guys think bars are so important? it’s not like lesbians only come out at night

When Netflix CEO Reed Hastings sent out an email to Netflix members this morning, they began to complain almost immediately, because this is the internet, and complaining is the National Sport. But what people seem to have overlooked is the joy that Hastings and his company have brought all of us, in the form of Jason Castillo, a.k.a @qwikster.

There’s this girl I know who everyone calls Kate Moennig because all girls love her. I’m scared to introduce my girlfriend to her in case she stops being attracted to me.

that’s a fundamentally ridiculous fear and I’d certainly hope your relationship could sustain a handshake from a good looking gil.

that being said, if i were you, i’d be doing/feeling the exact same thing you’re doing/feeling.

“Basically, I realized, I was living in that awful stage of life from the age of twenty-six to thirty-seven known as stupidity. It’s when you don’t know anything, not even as much as you did when you were younger, and you don’t even have philosophy about all the things you don’t know, the way you did when you were younger, and you don’t even have a philosophy about all the things you didn’t know, the way you did when you were twenty or would again when you were thirty-eight – Nonetheless you tried things out: "love is the cultural exchange program of futility and eroticism.” I said.

And Eleanor would say, “Oh how cynical can you get,” meaning not nearly cynical enough. I had made it sound dreadful but somehow fair, like a sleepaway camp. “Being in love with Gerard is like sleeping in the middle of the freeway,” I tried.

“Thatta girl,” said Eleanor. “Much better.”
