OP, your tips doesn't works because you haven't earned any Merits so far :/
He is the friend who gives great relationship advice but hasn't been in a relationship in over 5 years.
Is that one more sarcasm to get a Merit?
He/she already got two. I guess sarcasm is really the way to go to get merits. Haha.
Too bad I am not sarcastic. But good advise nonetheless by the OP. It just so happened it's in the wrong thread. Hopefully by moving it to the right one will receive merits.
