"Dignity" is a seven-letter word for "Take a hint that I am not interested, plus you live 600 miles away, leave me alone."

Sometimes you start to get to know someone (maybe have a few chats with them on gchat, for example) and you decide that person isn't for you in terms of dating. In fact, this happens a lot. No big deal, free country. Most people understand this, get the hint, and everyone moves on. However, some people have no dignity.

Here is an example that is completely fictional and in no way whatsoever comes from personal experience:

Girl meets guy (we will call him Satan) once at a bar and they exchange numbers. Satan looks her up on Facebook. From her Facebook page, he gets her gmail account and gchats her. They have a normal friendly conversation. After this one conversation, Satan begins to send her text message pictures of himself all the time, to which she tells him to keep his glamour shots to himself and begins to think he is a big weirdo.

Let's also mention that Satan does not live in the same city, or even remotely close, but was only visiting when they met, so she thinks that Satan will be easy to drop once he goes back home shortly, so there's really no need to tell him she isn't interested and hurt his feelings. WRONG.

So Satan goes home, and sends her an e-mail about applying for jobs in the town she lives in, to which she says HELL NO and tells him she is dating someone else. Then her birthday comes, and Satan sends her a love fern, that she wanted to throw over the balcony on the patio except her roommate stopped her. At this point she decides enough is enough, and she blocks Satan from all forms of communication.

TWO MONTHS LATER...

Girl signs onto Facebook chat for the first time in 2 months and instantly receives two messages from Satan saying "hey stranger... how have you been?"

HAVE SOME DIGNITY.

TXT MESSAGES 2.0

When we said to be more creative at txting, we DID NOT mean for you to become indecipherable. "whats up nikuface"??? WTF is that supposed to mean? And, that's not better. It still just says "What's up?".

BAD GIFTS TO GIVE TO WOMEN

A BASEBALL CAP -- Nothing says "I was at the sporting good store for myself and decided to get my shopping for you out of the way without putting any thought into it" like a baseball cap!!!! Just TRY to ask us for it back when you start losing your hair. I dare you.

AN ICE SCAPER FOR HER WINDSHIELD -- This gift will turn her heart so cold you might need to keep it for yourself.

A GIFT CERTIFICATE TO RUTH CHRIS. . . FOR YOUR VEGETARIAN GIRLFRIEND. Honestly: do you even know her at all? Give her a gift that shows you know NOTHING about her and you're history, amigo. Don't even count on getting that gift certificate back. She will have already recycled it and personally apologized to the cows on your behalf.

A DVD THAT IS MORE FOR MEN THAN WOMEN -- Do you really think that you're "Legally Blonde" obsessed girlfriend wants to watch Hellboy 2?!

A BOX OF CONDOMS AND LUBE -- You might think this is sexy and giving. We think it is counting your eggs before they hatch. WAY before they hatch.

HERPES -- Please: keep this to yourself.
