Hello Heather,
I know you probably get a ton of emails and they’re probably way more important than mine, so if you’re reading this, thanks for taking the time! Anyways, there’s this guy I work with at an ice skating rink, so we see each other a lot. We both kind of like each other and he asked for my Snapchat and phone number. We’ve been talking and flirting a lot, but it’s been four months, and our relationship is nothing more than that – flirty friends. He says things like, “Maybe I’ll take you to the movies,” or “We should go to a hockey game together sometime.” Every time, I express interest, but then he never brings it up again. To make things worse, in the last month, he’s ben bringing these other girls to the rink so he can talk to them while we work. He doesn’t ignore me and still teases me, so why he is bringing these two girls around? He swears they’re like sisters to him, but I always see them flirting.
Maybe I’m just beyond frustrated with the slowness of our relationship, or maybe I’m jealous of the girls for spending more time with him. At first, I thought maybe I just wasn’t being clear with my feelings, but I’ve asked him to Homecoming and invited him to my ice skating shows. Do you think I need to do more?
As much as we want to erase gender stereotypes and gender roles, and as passionate as we feel about allowing everyone to have equal rights, it can’t be denied that there are some differences between males and females.
Having an obsessive personality has it’s own pitfalls and perks. It’s the only way my brain knows how to operate, and judging from spending more than ten minutes on Tumblr, that seems to be the case for a lot of you, too. It doesn’t matter if it’s books, shows, movies, a certain fandom, or even a crush… if you’re into something, you’re all in, head-over-heels, fully invested, and there’s no going back.

Check out the very best tweets from the #WasteHisTime2016 hashtag. Some are a little mean. Some are very mean. And some surpass even the best of your personal revenge-plot fantasies that involve you absolutely slaying an Ariana Grande song at the school talent show in front of a boy who thwarted you, only to ride off into the night with Harry Styles. (Everyone has those, right?)
It’s annoying that some practices that girls and women do are reduced to being man pleasers. Like, believe it or not, just because society might pressure women to wear makeup, that doesn’t mean that women wear makeup to impress dudes. Nevertheless, so many dudes get on their high horses and assume that every move we make is for their benefit. Uh, nah, bro. Here are nine things dudes think that girls do for their attention, even though we totally don’t.

Being with a big group of girls: It might sound weird, but guys are easily intimidated by a large group of girls. If you're always surrounded by friends every time you go out, it's more likely that your crush won't approach you. Why? Well, dudes are just as scared of rejection as we are. They don't want to risk getting embarrassed in front of a whole group of people! If you're on your own, there's less pressure, and he might feel better coming up to talk to you.

He'll Raise His Eyebrows: As weird as it sounds, it's true: a quick raise of the eyebrows is a surefire sign that someone is attracted to you. Dudes aren't the only ones who do it - we all do. It happens super quickly, so you might miss it, but it will happen. Raising our eyebrows like this makes us look more open and inviting, and shows our interest.

How can you not get angry about sexist advertising? How can you not get angry about the lack of female directors in the film industry? How can you not get angry about how we're disproportionately affected by rape culture? If you're not angry, you're not paying attention!
