Not shitty, but...
>be in choir
>need tux hemmed
>friends tell me to ask femanon down the hall to teach me how
>i'd always seen her in long skirts up till now with loose tops (she liked to dress modestly), so nothing to go on consider her 5/10 because of cute face
>opens door
>loose top with sexy tanktop underneath, shorts that show off dem legs, suddenly 8/10
>almost lose my cool
>talk, she agrees to teach me how to hem pants next monday (she needs to go home to get sewing supplies)
What do?
>>
>>10839457
Post it here

>>10839475
Hemming pants is hardly a date. It refreshing to hear about a modest hot girl. Try to make small talk during the lesson. If you feel chemistry, try asking her to hang out sometime. If that goes well, ask for a date.

So there's this girl that I think I am starting to have some feelings for.

Last year around this time we would spend maybe one or two nights together each week for about a month, just talking, getting to know each other, and occasionally making out. Things ended abruptly though and we weren't in such good terms after that.

I decided to message her recently and she said she has been wanting to talk to me about things. So said she is down to meet up again soon, but there's a problem.

She is pretty much busy every day, she works from 5:00am to about 6:00pm and even though we agree every day to at least talk on the phone (she does text me while she's at work), she ends up forgetting and then just texts me again the next morning with some excuse, or how she was so tired she just fell asleep.

Anyways, her birthday is coming up soon and I feel like getting her a little something, but again she is so fucking busy, and I can't figure out how to arrange something so we can get together. I'm in university so i do have some time restrictions, but shit, not as much as she does.

Is it worth it for me to even chase after her? Let alone get her a gift for her bday?

I think I am feeling something genuine for her, but then again that was what I thought last year, and things ended between us in like a month.

I know this seems like a pretty vague question, or dilemma in general, but I'd just like some advice or suggestions on what to do.

It's even more refreshing in person, trust me.
>>
>>10839511
I've seen this thread a hundred times. The answer is to figure out a way to see each other often, or end it. Long distance relationships never, ever, ever, ever work.
>>
>>10839525
well for a guy with hope, any other advice? currently seeing each other as often as it is possible with a university schedule
>>
>>10839516
Well, whether or not to chase her is entirely up to you. Do think she is worth it? That is the most important question to ask yourself beofre you proceed.

If she is so busy, try going to see her during work. Sometimes, in these situations, big romantic gestures can go a long way. Just gert her to call you on the phone and get a time and place out of her. Never ask a girl out over text (I've always learned this the hard way.) You need to do things like this in person because it forces a response.
>>
>>10839551
Well in that case, you need to pack you dates with as much activity as possible, regardless of waht it is, you need to do it together and do as much as possible. Have a ridiculous amount of sex too, that always helps.

i'm just really anxious all the time, worrying about everything

for example,
years ago, i used to act like an idiot on certain message boards
it just bothers me knowing the posts are there and probably will be forever
i tried asking them if i could have posts deleted but it didn't work out

my whole life pretty much revolves around the internet
i mean, i don't use facebook or anything but i will just sit at the computer all day dwelling on negative thoughts which causes me anxiety and a sick feeling in my stomach (ibs symtoms)

if i try and do something even slightly productive my thoughts just go back to the negative and i can't concentrate on anything else
i've been meaning to clean up for a long while but just end up sitting here hunched in my chair

i know i need exercise and sunlight but i just can't push myself to do it
>>
how do i get myself in the habit of doing finishing my school work on time and studying? tips?
>>
Be 22.

Graduated from college with honors, high GPA, member of 3 honors societies, clubs, etc. Networked like crazy.

Get accepted into prestigious Grad school for my discipline. Get funding. Good, because 25k in debt from undergrad.

Get to School, have mental breakdown, dropout before it starts.

A year goes by. Living with mother for some time, father for some. Incredibly depressed. No friends. No hobbies.

Work as a Carpenter for uncle. Get up at 5am, go to work at 6, work until 5 pm. So fucking tiring and destroying my body.

Quit. Fuck money. Fuck people. People who I don't consider friends continue to talk at me. "OH MY LIFE IS SO GREAT! MAN, I AM HAVING SOME PROBLEMS, BUT I AM STILL GREAT, RIGHT ANON?!"

Time passes.

No job. No life. Pure depression. Apathy for world and entire situation. Feel horrid, because others have it worse. Spiral further into depression.

Work out, gain muscle back. Physically fit, still depressed.

Father thinks I am gay because I turn down women. No desire for relationships when I am a fucking wreck.

What do?
>>
>>10839589
The first thing you need to do erase the negatives. If you are dwelling over things that dont matter, get over it. If you are dwelling on things that haunt you from your past, erase them. Then try to do something productive. if you cant do things productivly because you dwell on negative things, that is called depression. Go see a shrink, you'd be suprised how they can maek you think

i need an outsider's opinion

i met this chick 2 weeks ago she's smoking hot and cool but a relationship would never work.

she used to be in a lesbian relationship for almost 4 years but that fell apart and she was into me. we've fooled around a few times now and have been texting and she has come out to my school 3 times now.

her old relationship makes me question whether it would work. on top of that i am graduating and moving back to my home which is about 2 hours away from her's and she's losing her license for half a year.

i usually don't fall for someone this fast but i am into this girl. i should probably separate myself from this situation right?

I used the old rubber band on the wrist trick. The thicker it is, the more it hurts. Works like a charm.

Shitty Situation:

I got loaned a lot of money to sell weed to make some money for myself on the side.
I go to restock, but from a "friend of a friend"
I go with my buddy, instead I let him do it because I was feeling really sick and I trusted him.
Long story short he got robbed.
Have I dug myself into a hole here considering I don't have a job?
>>
Asked this in another thread earlier, but I wanted to get a second opinion.

What would you think if a girl a year younger than you was always saying "Hi anon" to you whenever she saw you, always cheered extra loud for you during running races, looked at you alot, and always tried to stay close to you?

I get sad/upset when my bf tells me hes tired/not in the mood for sex. Feels bad to be turned down by him. Just now I was giving him playful kisses on his neck and he told me to stop. Its been 2 weeks though and Ive been trying my best not to bother him with it. What do?

4 years ago my gf and I broke up. Was Messy. She left. Moved back two months ago. find out shes sucking off and going out with a guy i know kind of well (anon). Be Last Thursday calls me in middle of the day. Shit my pants. Don't answer. She texts me. I reply with short answers. Calls me again. I answer. Talk for an hour. Anxiety overtakes me so bad I'm shaking. Play cool. Make her laugh. Sympathize with her about her break up with last bf. says she's back here for the next 4 years. Phone call ends. Last Monday. Go to bar. She's there. Leaves. I know she saw me. Text her. She comes back. Begs me to go to another bar with her. I say no. Gotta get re6 play all night. I leave her. She calls me. Asks for ride back home. Suddenly doesn't want to go to bar anymore. I take her home. Says to me I know you know about me and "anon." I reply "Yeah I know, how could I not?" She tells anon I'm taking her home. Tells me she told "Anon." Starts problems. I drop her off. Anxiety fills me. See anon at GameStop. I Play it cool. He plays it cool. Be friday "see her on road, blow horn, text her, sask her if shes going out on hot date, says yes, i make fun of her date. Be Saturday. See her at bar again. She's alone. Texts me. I Don't answer. She dances with older men. Comes and talks to my friends. Says to me "i text you" I be dick to her "I left my phone in the car, I told you I don't take my phone in the bar" she say "I don't remember you telling me that" I say "yeah, bc you were drunk" end of convo. I hear her talkng about anon right behind me. Walk by me I don't even look at her. Walk right by her on way out.

I'm trying my best to not show my cards here. But truth is I'm going crazy. I built my self back up by telling my self she would never come back here. And here she is after 4 years. Part of me wants her to die. Part of me is dying bc of her. What is wrong with me?

>Be 18 in 12th grade
>Deciding between getting a commercial trade (plumber/pipefitter for the city I live in) or becoming a power engineer
>Don't want to get a degree so don't even suggest it. Where I live, there is a big lack of blue collar workers and an abundance of white collar workers.
>Trade = 3 months per year of school, 1500 hours of work per year for apprenticeship (wouldn't be broke like all other students), but shitty money until 4th year. Power engineer = 2 years of school (would be broke for 2 years as any student is, but i'd be making 60k+ after the 2 years (probably closer to 80k). I know someone who's 23 and making 120k/year working in oil/gas as a power engineer).

>meet girl, we hit it off
>few days later, get a text from her, she got my number from a friend
>obviously want my dick
>try to get her to go somewhere with me
>say's she's always busy
>she legitimately is always busy with school and extracurriculars and shit
>her friend is telling me to just flat out ask her out already

Should I just go ahead and tell her my feels over text or should I just keep waiting for a day we can hang out just us? Because it's way easier for me to ask a girl out in person because I can read their signals and expression, unlike texting where it's fucking emotes everywhere. Although I'm tempted to text her because I don't want to wait much longer and end up in the friendzone because I could never get time alone with her.

so tldr:
like girl, she's busy, should I wait and ask her out in person or just save time and ask her via text?
>>
>>10839558

got it. Thanks a ton dude. As of now yes I think it will be worth it. But then again, i am expecting nothing. I'll def mention the visiting her during work thing tho. Anything else you suggest?
