"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

literarly.. i am not feeling good, but I don't know if I should go to the doctor or not. i haven't been, for being sick at least, since I was 5 and I don't want to go back if i can help it.

it started thursday night... I went out, had a couple of drinks, actually less than I usually drink, like 2 drinks in all, 3 max, then i went to taco bell at like 4 in the morning. brought this chick back to my house, we made out but she was so damn tired (and buzzed) I couldn't seal the deal so I let her go.

woke up the next morning feeling like absolute ****. to get to the point. Ever since Friday, whenever I eat, ESPICALLY when I hickup, I am in pain. it feels like I irritated something inside my chest. whenever I expand my lungs it hurts. It was to the point friday where i could hardley eat. saturday was better but still bad. Sunday was the first day I felt somewhat normal but it still (monday morning) hurts.
I did some research and somehow, I think, I am not a doctor or anything and I hope this isn't the case, but I Think the lining my lungs somehow got inflamed and everytime I touch them with something (i.e expanding my lungs, eating) it hurts.

On the flip side, I am feeling better on a day by day basis, but that's just in general.. my chest still hurts as much as it did, well not AS much but damn near, as it did friday.

what do you think i should do? Do you think it's worth a trip to the doctor?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Maybe you scratched your throat with a tortilla chip?

The doc will probably tell you to wait another week or two so that it can get better on its own. If you can breathe ok, and you are not coughing up blood, you will be fine.

ive scratched my throat with a chip before and everytime i ate or drank or coughed it hurt badly for a week or two and then i was fine. i remember it was painful during that time but it healed on its own.
try to eat soft foods such as soup or pudding or potatoes that wont scratch your throat during this time.

I think i will take a visit to the doctor, my stepmom works for one, I will go visit him and I hope I Just did scratch myself
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

update:

I am in the hopstial right now, I have to stay at least one night (i am on my laptop, I am so happy they have wifi, I wouldn't know what to do) they are pretty sure it's not cardiovascular but they just want to make sure.

One doctor thinks it's acid reflux and someone else thinks it might be something with my resportory system.

anyway, you will be hearing alot from me today becuase i have absolutly nothing to do here.

oh dude the fvckin sucks, I have acid reflux, and I'm on a generic version of the purple pill. Its a life saver, acid reflux really sucks. I think its something resperatory, cuz that doesnt sound a lot like acid reflux.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I also have acid reflux and it is so awful. When I first starting having problems I thought that it was a heart attack... I also have lactose intolerance...

I didn't say I thought it was acid reflux... unless acid reflux somehow literarly gets acid in your throat and burns it, that's not it.

I actually don't feel half bad now.... execpt for the fact that it hurts to swallow and my tonsils hurt like hell
