"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.

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.

Thirty somethings and unprotected sex

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

As for the guy saying that HIV is extremely rare from vaginal intercourse -- it's less prevalent but it's still there. I have a friend who got it from run-of-the-mill sex, tested positive a few months ago. I can't imagine how awful it must feel, not only to know you have it, but to know you could've stopped it from happening.
