How to Be Someone People Love to Talk To (2015)

- If it's a very attractive girl I am talking to/hitting on, I am generally more self conscious about my appearance, making it harder to relax during the conversation. I feel that any misstep in my talking will immediately make them disinterested in me.

- There's the stereotype that attractive people are boring/dumb/narcissistic since they can use their attractiveness as a crutch. I am definitely guilty of passing this judgement on people.

Fun fact: there's a whole world beyond work, full of people to talk to.

I've heard, but that's not what this discussion is about.

Fun fact: there's tons of office romances, and people fuck like rabbits while working in the same company all the time. Even in puritanical US (or especially there).

Heck, millions of people met at work and finally got married.

And, no, flirting is not the same as harassment.

My brain wasn't sure how to compute seeing the phrase "fuck like rabbits" right next to use of the work "heck" instead of "hell."

LOL, foreigner, so I just use "heck" as a common idiom -- not because of some puritan upbringing.
