Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel.

What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
