  • Someone else said to "just talk to her, the worst she can say is no" is completely correct. If she is flirting with you, she wants to talk to you.
  • If she says no, it means no. If she says any variation of "no" (Maybe later ... I don't know ... etc), it's still a no.
  • Always carry a pen, chapstick, and 2 dollars in quarters.
  • Find a whiskey that you like that isn't JD.
  • Be confidant, even if you wind up being wrong.
  • Learn to tie a tie.
  • Have a nice pair of brown shoes, black shoes, and a belt that match each of them.
  • Lesbians do not want to have sex with you. Not even a little.
  • If you have a condom in your wallet for emergencies, throw it out. Condoms have a shelf-life and your body heat speeds up the process of decay.
  • Be a man of your word.
  • Use cologne sparingly. Sparingly!
  • Learn to cook a couple of meals from scratch that aren't from the grill. Tomato sauce is usually a good place to start.

1) But flirting is hard to recognize; it's the same idea as females claiming that they are dropping "hints", to them, they may be obvious, to sane people, they aren't. Things can seem quite obvious if you already know the answer.
2) If it's a variation on no, she's just trying to avoid making a direct concrete statement.
3) Um... no? I hate carrying things, and sure as hell I'm not carrying eight noisy pieces of metal.
4) Meh, alcohol.
5) Confident, not confidant. A confidant ends up in the friend zone forever, confidence gets ass... if you have it.
6) Can do! All glory to Youtube! Although ties are a ridiculous, archaic, and impractical affectation.
7) No, no, and no. Dress shoes are impractical and uncomfortable. Matching belts... who gives a shit. Shirts belong untucked.
8) Not true! Please see the Kinsey scale. Everything can be differentiated, there are no discrete values in reality. But, in general, this is quite true, and what a damn shame if it's a hot lesbian.
9) The more you know!
10) Of course. Except women appreciate lies. "Does this make my butt look big?" No woman wants the truth always.
11) Ew.
12) The grill is a superior cooking device! But can do!

1) Just talk. Signs end up coming out pretty fast after a while
2) Still it's a no
3) I carry a Montblanc pen and that it
4) Alcohol!
5) Confidence is good. Keep away from arrogance
6) Ties are awesome. Go skinny and plain
7) You're seeing a woman not laying railroad... Get over it
8) ...
9) ...
10) I don't lie. Just add the following: "You still look absolutely beautiful!"
11) Use a little. It's always nice.
12) Grill is good... You should know how to cook without one just in case

I am tempted to quit.
I was just told we can't fire anyone. Because our advisor thinks we can train and make the people we have better

1) Signs, hints, all other words for imperceptible. :(
2) Indeed.
3) The pen would be the least likely I'd carry of the three. Everybody has cells these days.
4) Lulz.
5) Ah, that fine fine line.
6) Awesome in the sense that they do... what?
7) Women... impractical and illogical. I suppose it all makes sense then, if we throw out normalcy.
8) ...
9) ...
10) I believe singing "I like big butts and I cannot lie" should be acceptable. If she laughs, you win. If she doesn't laugh, you have established she has poor humor. If she screams or attacks you, congratulations, you smoked out a psycho.
11) If the world had no smells, I would be happier.
12) Yeah, like I said, can do.

What is it with management? They think that they can just magically get everyone to do more stuff and do it better and faster.

Management? It's our student org's advisor

I've never dealt with someone so blind, so ignorant to a situation before. I didn't know what to do
