So guys, when your girlfriend stops, gives you a serious look and asks, “Hey babe, can we grab a coffee?”, does your mind race with fear over the horror you are about to experience? Because, inevitably, these “coffee moments” are never about discussing the weather.

In this commercial for Dare Ice Coffee, that question sets off a terrifying onslaught of imagined outcomes in the mind of a guy whose girlfriend just asked him that very question.

His solution? Have a Dare Ice Coffee instead. While it’s not clear how a bottled ice coffee would change the “coffee moment,” the metaphor expressed in the tagline, “The coffee moment without the moment,” does relieve a bit of stress if only for a few seconds.

Psychologists say the clearest sign someone is unhappier than they realize isn’t sadness — it’s when they stop being able to feel joy in things that used to light them up, but they keep going through the motions anyway

The saddest sentence in the English language isn’t “I’m alone” — it’s “I’m used to it” spoken by someone over 65 with a full photo album, a family that calls on holidays, and a Sunday routine that looks from the outside like contentment but from the inside feels like a life that has been carefully organized around the assumption that no one is coming
