This site really needs content for the help center's "On Topic" page and since it didn't seem to be happening, I did it myself but it needs your voice. We won't be able to make everyone happy with all of the rules here because... well... what the rules should be is something we're probably not al...

So you are at a social event and you meet some one*. You start with the usual questions: Hi my/your name is? What do you do? How do you know the host? Which are all good to get started. Then you might ask some other small talk questions. What makes a good question? What are some examples? S...

I was going to post a question tonight but got this notice instead: You have reached your question limit It looks like you might need a break - take a breather and come back soon! You've asked 2 questions recently, some of which have not been received very well by the community. Ev...

I have a friend in a group (Group is rather large and diverse but a core 8-9 people meet up the most frequently, she is part of that), let's call her Wendy. She and i dated in the past, but didn't go very deep. Some dates, we didn't go pass holding hands.I tend to make a lot of jokes and tease p...

Here's a little back story : There's a girl from my school that's a year older than me that I got really close to. Eventually, she ended up telling me that she liked me. Thing is, I don't know if I like her romantically, but she is definitely one of my favorite people. Now she's graduating, and ...

Apologies for the large amount of run-up; the context feels very relevant: My wife and I live in a 1930s block of flats in London. We are on the ground floor, of a staircase of 8 flats, so we're at least slightly familiar with everyone in the block. We own our flat, but I believe several of th...

Is there some public place where I can share my "micro-annoyances" with the world, perhaps online? (My plan is to phrase these in the form of questions, to make them seem universally applicable.) Thx!

To establish the background of the story, let me explain who is the flirt and what is the relationship between each other in my case. I'm a 23 years old male and my flirt is also 23 years old but a female. Me and she are both open-minded about anything and we are funny. We always make jokes abou...

Recently I've trying to be more active on social media and forums by posting some original content. Naturally however, among the supportive comments have been negative, non-constructive comments. As I have mostly limited my social media to places like Facebook where my audience has been friends, ...

This started with this question and a few of the comments there: How do you communicate efficiently with someone who is stuttering? One of our community members wrote a good answer to that question, listing the do's and don'ts of communicating with a stutterer. (link to deleted answer) The OP o...

I have a friend who I'm very close with and this has been something that truly, truly bothers me since I've met her. I've known her for about 4 years now and I have never gathered the courage to tell her that the way she chews is loud and obnoxious. Once she was having an altercation with a cow...
