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

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

I’ve gone out on a few dates with a girl I met online who I don’t really like that much. I have social anxiety, and feel like she is a perfect low-stakes dating scenario with whom to practice. Do I explain this to her? If I don’t, am I leading her on?

maybe a low-stakes friend scenario would be a little more respectful of the other person in terms of practice. i get that you’re trying to practice dating specifically, but surprise, dating isn’t really different from getting to know a new friend, except you both take your pants off sometimes.

any advice on what to do the morning after you hook up with a straight girl? do we have to talk about it while we’re in bed? can I text her later? help!

no, be silent
grasshopper
say nothing
give her some time to simmer
wait for her to reach out to you first
unless you have something
you genuinely want to say to her
(something that isn’t just a thing
to see how/if she’ll respond)

or, you know, get in a fight with her boyfriend
do coke in the bathroom
and move in with her
that’s what i did

I can’t figure out my personal style and feel like this might be because of confusion re: what kind of style I’m attracted to vs. what I feel comfortable/hot wearing. as in do i want to wear ‘boy’ clothes or date a girl who does? is this a thing? help.

yeah i felt that way for like 3-4 years
sooner or later you get tired
and start doing whatever requires the least amount of forced calculation/thinking
and then that becomes your “style”
you’ll have phases from time to time forever

maybe this would be the ultimate “a custom fit” article

I had pretty rough sex last night. It burns like crazy to pee today and I’m really sore. I think she scratched me maybe? Or there is a small cut? WHAT DO I DO OW.

look at your vadgesituation with a mirror of some sort and see if there’s a cut or anything and then try to avoid it. use baby wipes instead of toilet paper. if it gets better every day, then you’re probably ok and should be more careful next time. if it gets worse every day, then go to planned parenthood or your doctor.
