I "accidentally" flirted with a girl to stop her from fighting me over her boyfriend

Thumbnail
So a few days ago, my best friend from college tells me she has a HUGE crush on this cute guy from another department.

And because I (F) apparently have friends in every department like some unofficial campus detective, she assigns me a task to find information about him. I asked her to take me to the spot where he usually hangs out.

She drags me to a corridor where he’s standing with his friends. She points him out. One look at him and I’m like…why did he look like Stuart Little to me?

Anyway.

Standing next to him is this girl who is giving me the most aggressive side-eye I’ve ever experienced. Like she already killed me hundred if not thousand times with her side eyes.

I tell my friend I’ll gather information and we move on.

*Now here’s where things gets weird...really weird.*

Over the next few days, more than 10 of my friends confess they have a crush on *“this really cute guy”* and want me to find out if he’s single. Every. Single. Time. It’s the Stuart Little. And every single time, Side-Eye Girl is right there next to him.

Eventually I find out that Stuart Little and Side-Eye Girl - are in a relationship. I inform my friends. They grieve for half a day and then move on to new crushes because it's pathetic to want someone else's man.

End of story, right? Wrong.

Yesterday I’m sitting alone in the cafeteria, minding my business, when I see Side-Eye Girl marching toward me like she’s about to declare war. I can see the rage in her eyes, I can feel the temperature rising with every step she takes.

She comes up and SLAMS her hand on my table. I ignore her. She just stands there.
We have a silent staring contest. Finally I say, calmly, “Sit down.” Because if this turned into a departmental fight, I did NOT want to be the reason. My HOD has already warned me twice to not create any ruckus.

She sits. Looks furious. Mad.

Our conversation went on like this :

Side-Eye Girl : “Are you after my boyfriend?”

Me: “No.”

Side-Eye Girl : “Weren’t you oogling at him all these days?”

Me: “No.”

Side-Eye Girl : “Don’t lie. I’ve caught you looking at us multiple times.”

And this is where my survival instincts kicked in and the dare-devil inside of me woke. Instead of choosing peace or logic, I chose chaos.

I said : “Yes, I was looking at you guys. But I wasn’t looking at him.”

She pauses : “What do you mean?”

Me : “I was looking at you, babygirl. I got lost in your beauty.”

*Silence* *Complete system shutdown*

She went from furious girlfriend to flustered in 0.2 seconds.

Out of every possible response she expected, that was *NOT* on the list.

She got shy. Didn’t know how to respond. The confrontation just… dissolved.

And that’s how I accidentally flirted my way out of a potential campus war.

So my wife’s going to a gala tonight — as her client’s “date.”

I’m 44 and my wife is 44. She works on an art advisory committee, so attending galas, events, and client meetings is part of her job. She often meets clients for coffee, lunch, or dinner, and I don’t always know the details and that’s completely normal because it’s part of her work. She’s always professional, transparent about her friendships, and I trust her judgment completely. Recently, she mentioned she’s going to a gala with a friend, S. He’s a wealthy client she met about a year ago, and they became friends professionally. She introduced me to him once, and he seems like a genuinely good person. He invited her as his “date” to this gala, and my wife said it’s fine. I did ask her though, if she’s actually going as a “date,” and she just laughed and said, “Date doesn’t always mean romantic.” She said it’s important for her she could get networking and meet new people. Then she smiled and said, “If I get into this gala next time, I won’t need to take that man with me, I’ll take you...

I accidentally started a fake relationship with my dentist’s nephew and now I have to bring him to my cousin’s wedding

I swear this isn’t as insane as it sounds. Or maybe it is. I don’t know anymore. So I had to get my wisdom teeth pulled last month. All four. It was horrible. I cried when they put the numbing stuff in. Not from pain, just vibes. The dentist was this sweet older guy, probably in his 60s, super gentle, gave dad energy. Anyway, after the whole thing I’m in the waiting room with a mouth full of gauze, looking like a bloated chipmunk and trying not to drool on myself. This guy walks in. Maybe 20-ish. Tall, curly hair, kind of goofy looking but in a hot way. He smiles at me and goes, “You look like you fought a squirrel and lost.” I flip him off. With love. Apparently he’s the dentist’s nephew. He was dropping off lunch or something, I wasn’t listening. I was trying to keep my face from leaking. He sits down and starts chatting with me while I wait for my ride. I don’t say much because again, gauze goblin. But I must’ve made an impression because later that night I get a message on Instagr...

A Cinematic Masterpiece: 'Halkara' Deserves More Recognition

 So, the weekend is almost over and Sunday is always special to me. In a sense, I was always wandering, taking myself on a trip to the valley. This story is quite different and interesting. In the middle of my journey, I felt ready and motivated to write about it, so here it goes. This story is about a single movie that inspired me to write. I had no plans to watch a Nepali movie called 'Halkara,' which had recently been released. As I passed by midtown, I wasn't prepared to watch it, but I found myself at the ticket counter buying a ticket for myself. When I bought the ticket, there were only five people who had booked the show, and all the seats were empty. The show was scheduled to start at 12:30 pm, and I entered the hall. Finally, the movie started. I cannot describe how amazing the cinematography, storyline, characters, acting, and overall vibe of this movie were. I still can't believe that this movie didn't receive a good response from...
