It’s not uncommon for a girl and a guy to be on two completely separate pages when it comes to why they’re talking.
While the girl is just looking for friendship, the guy might be down for more… and vice versa.
And that’s exactly what happened to Twitter user Sav Gibsion, a student from Texas, when she asked a fellow classmate for a PDF that was handed out.
While some of us call in sick when we’re suffering with a slight sniffle, others are fighting their way through regardless of what tries to stand in their way.
One of the fighters is Jakeem Tyler, an employee at Chick-fil-A in Indiana, who was working his shift despite being in a neck brace and sling.
A customer, Cameron Nelson, was curious as to why Jakeem hadn’t called in sick, so he decided to ask him.
Recently, I wrote about Lizzie Velasquez, a 27-year-old woman who lives with a rare congenital disease that prevents her body from storing fat.
She’s also a woman who has been mocked by thousands upon thousands of strangers after she was turned into a viral meme.
We touched upon Lizzie’s approach to the meme, and how she stood her ground… Read the full story
I don’t have children because I’m 25, I live in a rented flat with a lot of damp and I spend all my money on wine.
But I do know people who have procreated and, for my sins, I spent several years working as a nanny. So I can empathise with how hard being a parent is.
And I also know that at Christmas when you’re trying to balance buying and wrapping several thousand presents, making a costume for the nativity play and working out a diplomatic Christmas family visiting schedule which would defeat… Read the full story
Exercising is all well and good but the next day, you often wonder if it was worth it. Your ankles ache. Your arse aches. Your arms ache. How can something that felt so good and virtuous feel so deathly hours later?
Well, for some lucky gym-goers, that feeling might become a thing of the past.
Puration, a company which specialises in cannabis… Read the full story
If you’re clumsy and have ever been in a relationship with a guy, chances are that you’ve accidentally knocked him in the balls.
You don’t mean it of course. Maybe you were trying to give his thigh a friendly punch. Maybe you’ve kneed him during sex. Maybe you pretended to kick box them and accidentally hit your target.
However you did it, the guy will probably have yelled out like he was… Read the full story
Human beings are funny creatures.
You think after your first, crippling hangover, you’d put two and two together and be like, ‘Yeah, nah’ the next time someone suggested tequila shots, but no.
I know this because because I’m always the one suggesting tequila shots. Even though I know I’ll probably see it come back up the next day (with bits of late night falafel wrap delicately… Read the full story
If you rely on fertility apps to track your cycle, then your luck might be in.
For, the world’s first fertility bracelet is about to come to the UK and it could save you a lot of hassle.
Ava is like a FitBit for ovulation, and it’s been taking America by storm.
So if you’re planning on getting up the duff (or avoiding it like the plague) then listen up.
Now, I’ve never actually considered which day out of the 365 on offer I’d want to be proposed to on.
All I know is that I wouldn’t want it to be in public.
If it was, I would do a Homer Simpson-style backwards shuffle into a bush and not return until my now-ex boyfriend had left the scene.
But apparently, a lot of people have put a lot of thought into their future engagement scenarios, and lucky for… Read the full story
There’s something that happens every year around the festive period that makes us believe fleetingly that somehow we can ice skate.
This year, we think, it will be different. We’ll glide like swans on ice, holding hands, like they do in the movies.
In reality, our attempts at gliding gracefully end in… Read the full story
Who doesn’t want a few square metres of property to call their own?
But with soaring house prices and increasing demand, more and more professionals are turning to flat shares to save money.
However, sharing with others brings its own pitfalls – the major one being the… Read the full story
Hey, remember the other day when we learned, yet again, that we can’t be trusted with nice things?
You know, the day that someone drew hands on the innocent mittens decorating the McDonald’s Christmas cup and transformed the drawing into someone spreading his bum cheeks.
Yep. That happened.
Suddenly a sweet Christmas cup giving us ‘warmest greetings’ was a gross (but hilarious) joke.
Poor innocent mittens. Poor McDonald’s.… Read the full story
Let’s be honest, commuting on a train has never been the easiest life choice for any of us.
Historically, we would come to a standstill because of leaves on the line or some sort of heavier than usual rain shower.
Everyone, please brace yourselves for a very sad story. We can hardly bear it.
You know those truly giant teddy bears people keep buying (and that we desperately want)? A mysterious cold-hearted YouTuber decided to abandon one giant bear at an airport, dumping it right next to a bin.
*Pause for sobbing at the image of a giant bear, sad, alone, and next to a bin*
The TSA shared a heartbreaking image of the lonely… Read the full story
Christmas shopping can get very overwhelming, very quickly.
In England alone, there were 5,700 newly recorded cases of female genital mutilation between 2015 and 2016.
Around the world, the numbers are even higher.
This practice – which includes clitoridectomy (the partial or total removal of the clitoris) and the stitching together of labia – is rarely discussed.
But we need to talk about it. So we can end it.

The internet has provided us with many amazing things.
We can buy things online, get honest, travel reviews and Facebook stalk our ex on the regular to double check that yes, their new partner still looks boring AF.
But more importantly, the internet has brought us Photoshop battles.
Yup, we’ve had an inquisitive sloth, a little Corgi… Read the full story
A boutique hotel dedicated to gin drinking has finally opened its doors to customers.
The Distillery has four floors dedicated to gin, with three guest rooms overlooking market street on Portobello Road.
Metro.co.uk had a sneak peek last night at the venue and it is basically a gin drinker’s paradise.
The ground floor does indeed have gin barrels suspended from the ceiling and there are dozens of gins on offer from around the world.
The first photographs show red velvet… Read the full story
