Dear DC Douchebag,
Email subject lines are for the general subject of the email – they are NOT for the actual text of your email. For example, the following is a flagrant abuse of the subject line:
Now, I know this doesn’t seem like such a terrible crime (and in the grand scheme of your DCD tricks – it’s pretty low). However, it’s a flag – a big red, DCD, waving flag that the recipient of said email is warned…they are walking in DCD territory – be alert.
This email says several special things about you, my little DCD friend:
- You are lazy
- You think you’re too important to send actual proper emails with a REAL subject, greeting, message, and closing (not that tricky, I promise)
- You don’t think your potential companion is important enough to even bother with an actual full email – you didn’t even write “hey” in the subject line. C’mon boys, it’s three extra frickin letters and a tap on the return key. (Your potential date is TOTALLY worth a tap on the return key).
- If this is how little effort you’re putting in at the beginning of the “relationship” – sweet Christ – imagine how terrible you will be when you actually feel comfortable!!!
So, buck up – take five extra seconds and write an actual email…OR…and I know this is going to sound crazy, but stick with me. Why don’t you just CALL the girl??? She’ll appreciate it and you’ll avoid this doucher mistake.
Love always – your guide to living a douchebag-free life,

I have to say I almost never send emails cuz I’m too scared of making spelling mistakes. Furthermore, calling someone is so much more interesting. You can really say your point, ask questions, react to what the other person say and at least you have your answer now !
