So you’re just another annoying anonymous person on the Internet wasting both your and my time with stupid messages?

…What.

There are tons and tons more, but trying to list them all would take forever. These are the ones I can remember right now.

We had been friends prior to dating from living in adjacent hallways in our dorm last year. Then I drunkenly kissed him at a concert and soberly slept with him a week later.

I: What’s the most important part of a relationship?

Trust, respect, and perspective.

2: If you could go back in time and give yourself one piece of advice about dating what would it be?

Don’t ever confuse compromise with someone walking over you.

3: Do you think long distance relationships can work? Why or why not?

I think so, if the individuals involved are willing to put in the effort and understand the things that they will lack and gain fron being long-distance.

C: Longest relationship you’ve ever been in, and why did it end?

The longest relationship I’ve ever been in is the one I’m in right now, if you’re the kind of person who thinks using Facebook as a verifier is silly (which I am). But my longest previous relationship lasted…a little over 8 months?

L: How many people have you ever hooked up with?

Cheeky anon.

V: Do you think people who have dated can stay friends?

Yes. One of my future roommates is an ex of mine. We’re chill.

W: Do you think people should date their friends?

I see no problem with it. Just be aware of what introducing romance into your relationship will mean.

F: Have you ever been cheated on?

Not that I know of, no.

G: Have you ever cheated?

No.

J: Do you like to be in serious relationships or just flings?

Well how would you define a “fling”? Like, a short-term relationship that’s primarily physical, or a one-night-stand sort of thing? Either way, both have their merits and purposes, and I have absolutely no objections to either. But right now I’d prefer a serious relationship, seeing as I’m kind of in one.

N: What age do you think is appropriate for kids to start having sex?

I’ve always thought of 16 as a standard.

Q: Turn on’s?

I tend to find people who are significantly taller than me attractive. Which isn’t very difficult compared to my whopping 5 feet and 3 inches. I also like noses. Also pixie cuts on girls. Goodness.

R: Turn off’s?

Horrible posture, terrible clothing, being an ass, bad teeth. I don’t know. Stinky hair?

Is it Ask Nicole Weird Anonymous Questions Day and I didn’t know about it? What is going on here?

Augh, just stoppit people. It’s far too early to deal with anything right now. I’m only responsive to this kind of shit when I ask you to send me creepy questions. I’m not gonna open up to you (double entendre, ohhhhhh) on just any normal day.

(Also, I always wonder if anonymous question-senders realize that they’re questions would actually seem a lot less creepy if they weren’t anonymous.)

Thank you so much! My favourite store for clothing is H&M, but I got one of my leather jackets in a thrift store and the other during a trip to Korea. Perhaps try looking for one in a thrift store? I found mine for $5, which was really fucking lucky since it was in amazing condition and still is.
