How to text her – including scripts and examples
Quietly Romantic

Let’s talk about one of the scariest things around dating: how to text a woman you’re interested in. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve worried that I’m texting her too little and she’s going to forget about me, or I’m texting her too often and she’s going to think I’m clingy, or even that I’m texting her something that gets taken the wrong way and now she’s super offended at an innocent comment I made. And the worst of all is when you text her and she doesn’t respond…for…several hours. When that happens, all I can think about is basically, “Did she see my text? Maybe she didn’t see it yet ..read more

How to tell if she’s flirting or just being friendly

It’s been a while since my last newsletter, huh? At Quietly Romantic headquarters, there’s a tradition where if I go too long without writing anything new then I get to share an embarrassing story. This one tops anything I’ve shared before. Several years ago, I had a friend named Nicole that I always used to hang out with. We’d known each other for a couple of years and we’d always do things together such as… Invite each other out to movies late at night Cook dinner for each other at our apartments Go out to restaurants at midnight to order dessert …but we never went past just being friends ..read more

My single biggest, most painful mistake with dating
Quietly Romantic

From the first time I saw her face, I knew I’d love her until the day I die. I can still picture it clearly today. All the other boys in my Middle School were fawning over that one redhead who looked like Mary Jane from Spider-Man (you know…the Tobey Maguire one). On the other hand, I happened to crush on my classmate in English class who came in every day wearing a ridiculously cute Mickey Mouse shirt and headband. She was the first person I ever had feelings for. I’d like to tell you that she never even knew I existed. That’s what I really want to write right now because it would hurt less t ..read more

Derek Chauvin found guilty and what that means for us
Quietly Romantic

Derek Chauvin was just found guilty. You know, the guy that knelt on George Floyd’s neck for almost 10 minutes until he died. I feel a lot of emotions right now. Relief. Happiness. Sadness. Like, a part of me is happy that he was convicted because of course he was guilty. And I’m relieved that justice was served in this particular instance. But I’m also sad that this even happened in the first place, and I still recognize that we have a long way to go. Here’s what Derek Chauvin’s conviction means for us… It means that Black Lives DO Matter! One of my favorite comedy skits of all time is this o ..read more

How to make #StopAsianHate a reality
Quietly Romantic

Let’s talk about violence against Asian-Americans. Again. Didn’t we just do this? Yes, we did. Somehow just 2 weeks after my strongly worded open letter, a series of mass shootings perpetrated by a single person broke out at three different spas in Atlanta, Georgia. Eight people were killed, six of whom were Asian women. And what is there to say except…are you fucking kidding me?! It feels like someone read what I wrote and thought “Hey this Steve guy makes a lot of good points…so I’m going to do the exact opposite of what he wrote!” FUCKING HELL!! Alright, alright. Deep breaths Steve. In for ..read more

It feels like everything is “broken” these days
Quietly Romantic
by Steven Zawila
3y ago
I’ve written a string of articles speaking out against some of the injustices in the world—including my most recent one about hate crimes against Asians—and the overwhelming consensus from everyone who responded is that…well… Everything is broken. (Also, to everyone who took the time to respond to my newsletters with your own thoughts, I appreciate your responses and I do read every message. Thank you! Even to that one guy who wrote back just to call me an idiot.) It certainly feels like everything is broken sometimes. I wish that I had some sort of quick fix that would solve everything and ma ..read more

To: Everyone holding animosity against Asian-Americans
Quietly Romantic

To: Everyone holding animosity toward Asian-Americans. Or treating Asians with scorn. Or asking if they’re “from China” because of the virus. Color me pissed off!! Are you going to tell me why you hold so much contempt against Asian-Americans right now? Why you find it okay to treat Asians differently than your white counterparts, or to refer to COVID as the “China virus” (that’s racist), or why hate crimes against Asian-Americans have risen 867% in New York city alone? Seriously, to the guy who thinks it’s OK to shove elderly people to the ground in Chinatown…WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS WRONG WIT ..read more

Long time no write! I hope that you’re continuing to stay safe from COVID. If you or anybody you know has been affected by the virus, then I wish you or them a full and speedy recovery. Actual photo of me hiding from COVID Yesterday, a detestable human being with despotic ambition was removed from one of the most powerful offices in the world. I’m not going to say his name. You know who I’m talking about. it’s funny. Whenever this sort of thing happens in our favorite stories, it always involves a lone hero overcoming all odds to overthrow a tyrant–Luke Skywalker defeating Darth Vader and the ..read more

I turned 29! Lessons from my Birthday
Quietly Romantic

I just turned 29! Happy Birthday!! You know, I always used to freak out around this time of year. I thought that growing older was something to be afraid of. Not this year, though. I’m really proud of what I’ve accomplished throughout 2020, and everything I’ve learned this year is something that I’ll continue to be able to use the rest of my life. And that’s exciting! Almost as exciting as learning that Minecraft Steve is now a Smash Bros. fighter! (Playing against Steve and his wonky attacks, on the other hand…that’s another matter.) Here’s what I’ve learned this year. Everything starts with ..read more
