Signs He’s a Douchebag



“You sleep together, he drops you off the same night and says, ‘well, thanks for coming out,’” Laura.

“Any guy who makes you feel insecure on purpose is a douche.” Gavin

“You’re sleeping together but can’t be Facebook friends. Red flag!” Brenda

“Flipping off the camera is lame,” Melanie

“He says it’s cool if you see other guys while he is sleeping with you.  Ladies, this is not someone you want to spend time with.  What dude wants to share that?” John

 “He doesn’t text you back.  Everyone has their phone with them 24x7.  It’s a sign he only cares to speak to you when it’s convenient for him,” Alex

“He texts you at 2:00AM to hang out,” Stacey

“If he’s texting while you’re out at dinner or going to the bathroom with his phone, he’s likely texting someone else,” David

“If you have been seeing one another for six months and you’re not exclusive, you’re being used,” Mike

“You have met him 10 times and he always says ‘nice to meet you’,” Kellie

“He won’t return the jewelry you left at his house, even through his doorman,” Stacey

“You have been sleeping together and doing “couple things” and he refers to the time you spend together as “hanging out”,” Michael (Note: BDC gives a big thumbs-up to this one. So disrespectful).

“The following happened to someone I know…she went on a date with this guy and after they kissed he told her he was married,” Heather

“You catch him in a lie and he tries to lie his way out of it,” Desiree

“He puts his phone on silent around you,” April

“He won’t let you use his phone without freaking out,” Annie

“He thinks Happy Hour is a date,” Stacey

“He wants you to be at his beck-and-call but when you call, it’s radio silence,” Rachel

“He disappears when you already have plans to hang out, and then the next day tells you that he fell asleep at 8pm and that he has sleeping pattern issues and that a proof of this issue is that he was born asleep….yeah, true story!” Francesca

“He goes on a business trip and you don’t hear from him until he gets back,” Faith

“He asks you to pay for dinner and then wants your leftovers!” Lindsey

“He starts dating you…and later informs you that he is still living with his ex-wife..wait you mean..YOUR WIFE!!!!” Kaley

  Bring you to a bar for a 1st date instead of dinner and coffee…..total Douche!

Cage me..



We all carry, amongst us, those things,
That we do not wear for anyone to see,
They weigh us down like anchors,
They drown us down at Sea,
I carry with me, thy memories,
Of the only thing I have left of thee,
I could write you a poem,
But I am running out of techniques,
To show to you how I feel,
Why I feel what I feel.

And our hearts are like birds, born to set free,
Except now that I have found you,
And I wish I could cage your heart till eternity,
or you would cage mine and never set it free.
Unless it is to travel the distance that made fools of us,
Unless it is to land on the soil where you’ld return.

I remember you as what I last saw of you,
Those American arms that held on to me tightly as we slept,
Like they would never let me go, (but they left,)
And I quietly wondered if that was your way ,
Or did you feel pity to see me so broken to know you’ll fly away?

I remember your bukky smile,
Always made me laugh when I couldn’t help but cry,
I remember your voice, it brought happiness via Skype,
I remember that long neck, so just, fair and right,
I know now what separates us,
So shall I still miss you as a secret,
That women keep and never tell?
Or should I whatsapp you that I miss you,
and wait with baited breath to read - there's nothing you can do!

Was it so easy? 

Oh! Had it snowed here too!
Or your cold land had Equator running through,
Or Had God taught Indians the art of coldness,
of how to be practical and care less.

Oh! I still miss you, Blame it on my Indian heart,
blame it on a girl's emotional brain, blame it on your MEH-full charm,
So, maybe it will stay as a secret in me,
because maybe you are not even worth all this poetry,
You walked away! You set me free!
to silently live on when you knew you could save me,
from being weighed down whilst carrying your memories.

Pablo Neruda


"I no longer love her, true, but perhaps I love her.
Love is so short and oblivion so long.

Because on nights like this I held her in my arms,
my soul is lost without her.

Although this may be the last pain she causes me,
and this may be the last poem I write for her.” 
― Pablo Neruda


"You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep spring from coming."
- Pablo Neruda

"And one by one the nights between our separated cities are joined to the night that unites us."
-Pablo Neruda

“Well, now
If little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you
Little by little
If suddenly you forget me
Do not look for me
For I shall already have forgotten you

If you think it long and mad the wind of banners that passes through my life
And you decide to leave me at the shore of the heart where I have roots
Remember
That on that day, at that hour, I shall lift my arms
And my roots will set off to seek another land” 
― Pablo Neruda, Selected Poems

“so I wait for you like a lonely house
till you will see me again and live in me.
Till then my windows ache.” 
― Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets

“I can write the saddest poem of all tonight. I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.” 
― Pablo Neruda


“Let us forget with generosity those who cannot love us” 
― Pablo Neruda



“Who writes your name in letters of smoke among the stars of the south?
Oh let me remember you as you were before you existed.” 
― Pablo Neruda, Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair



“Do tears not yet spilled wait in small lakes?” 
― Pablo Neruda
