Self-Proclaimed Nice Guys Have Destroyed The World

"For the guys who can't seem to find that girl."

This is an article for all the fellas out there. It's mostly advice for the guys who can't seem to find that girl. Gentlemen, if you feel like you're a good guy and no one notices, read this. Ladies, if you have ever experienced (or know) a guy like this, make him read this too. Might do some good.

Let's start with the obvious: You're scared. Look at this missed connection below:

I sent this picture to some girls I know and asked what they'd do in this girl's position. Overwhelmingly, they all said something to the effect of: "Why couldn't he just talk to me there? Kind of creepy." This is the greatest fault of the kinds of guys who do this: their actions, no matter how well-meaning or even sweet in nature, end up coming across as creepy. Chances are, this dude didn't get a response (because only people like him browse missed connections). And it's sad because maybe he was a really sweet guy. But that girl, and potentially many other girls he's come across, will never know that because he's too scared to speak up.

It's frightening to speak up, I get it. I've been in that position many times. Sometimes I go and talk to her, other times I get too nervous and end up not saying anything. But those times when I talk to her? They're awesome. Usually, it doesn't pan out, but at least I've got that experience under my belt. So, why can't you? Besides, you seem more friendly if you start the conversation.

So, Golden Rule: Just say Hey

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
