Be Clear About Your Intentions
Every nice guy on earth has a tendency to hide their interest in women. They want to seduce a girl indirectly. They want covert methods to make a woman fall in love and think that if they show their interest upfront, they might seem desperate or get rejected.
And look, to be fair, that’s a possibility. Sometimes that will happen. But it’s a risk worth taking. In fact, it’s a must. You have to take that risk. Like the typical nice guy, if you start to hide your interest in women, you will be put into the friend zone as most nice guys do.

Soviet Soldier in a parade in Moscow, 1940
He is right. We are not youth any longer. We don’t want to take the world by storm. We are fleeing. We fly from ourselves. From our life. We were eighteen and had begun to love life and the world; and we had to shoot it to pieces. The first bomb, the first explosion, burst in our hearts. We are cut off from activity, from striving, from progress. We believe in such things no longer, we believe in war.
― Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet on the Western Front

What Does It Feel Like To Be 80 Years Old Knowing That Death Is Imminent?
(photo: @flpschi)
I am in my 80s. To be this age is largely luck. To be this age and reasonably healthy with peace of mind is even luckier. To be this age, be healthy, and not lonely makes one feel so lucky that you want to gulp the moments down like a drowning man reaching air. I have been in five car crashes without being hurt (none were my fault). During the war as a child, I experienced several bombs falling within close range and where people within yards of myself were killed or injured. Numerous other such incidents sometimes gives one a sense of invulnerability, and other times that the next incident won’t be so lucky.

If Humans Evolved From Monkeys, Why Are There Still Monkeys?
1. There is nothing in evolution that states, insinuates, or infers that the entire population of a species must evolve in unison so that once the evolved animal (whatever it is) has evolved, it is all that remains.
All species on Earth evolved from bacteria, but bacteria have not gone anywhere, now have they?
