Dear future boyfriend ☺️
She pulled out a cigarette on our third date, and she was somehow pissed that I didn't "warn" her.
The 8 billion people argument is really getting to me.
I did a lil.. experiment and I have a lil sympathy for men now..
What’s the fastest you’ve cut off / noped out of a date?
I don't know if this is a unpopular opinion but as a woman I think I have come to appreciate coffee dates, ice cream and dates that aren't expensive because then if the first date doesn't work out I can bounce without any guilt. How do you feel about this?
Guys, why don't you like to wear a condom?
tired of teaching men empathy
