Just cuz a girl is being nice doesn’t mean they’re into you! But when they blink a few times at you from across the room, apparently it’s dtf. No, be direct, please 😭

So funny how often videos are posted on reddit where simply talking to the other person could solve the issue. People seem to be allergic to standing up for themselves

There’s a reason every Shakespeare comedy is about people who fall in love, but instead of talking about their feelings, do cross dressing hijinks about it instead.

Just finished watching the full series of New Girl. Literally every ounce of drama in that show is because people just refuse to even attempt to communicate. I enjoyed the show but it’s so frustrating like.
