My acne has been the bane of my existence for most of my life.

I'm a 20yr old male and still have pretty bad acne, probably worse than you're thinking. It's not as cystic and infected looking anymore like when I was a teenager, but still my entire face under my eyelids is polka dotted red (no Rosacea though). I lost over a hundred pounds and feel great, always wearing really nice stuff, my double chin became a well defined jaw line, and I have a radio voice. I think I could be relatively attractive but my acne has completely stopped me from making moves on girls from 7th grade onwards, and at this point in my life I have no girl friends and am too embarrassed to even try. Even in the past at parties with chances to kiss a girl I declined because "I can't subject them to kissing someone with acne". Dermatologist said it's likely hormonal and will go away with time because medicine doesn't work, but I've had it for basically half my life. I feel like I'm really confident in basically every other aspect of my life and it's tearing me up, I don't know how to deal with my self image of my face.

I want opinions on it that aren't all from genderqueer toilet-kin from the LGBT board, I'm 21 now and I've had issues with being male at least ever since puberty, basically the most ideal thing to me is being a really feminine looking dude, that can pass as female, I somewhat can, but I constantly feel an unhealthy jealousy of females. I've talked to a therapist about this somewhat, but I don't know what to do with myself, I've considered taking hormones to make myself more feminine but I feel like I'm pointlessly trying to change myself and it just feels like I would be fueling mental illness.

It's just fucking frustrating, I can't think of any other way of describing it.

How do you hit on a girl if her mother is nearby? Saw a TOP QT, probably 16, 17 (don't worry I'm a teen too) at the health center. She was not incredibly good looking but she was my type and was a shortstack, problem is she was there with an old lady, her mom or her grandmom. How would you hit on a woman in this situation.

>tfw being ghosted by literally everyone

>nothing. absolutely nothing.

Am I really that awful a person? And the worst part is I'm thirty-one and increasingly unable to meet people any more. I can't believe how looked down upon I've been by everyone. Never thought I was this reviled by everyone.

So how effective are exit bags? Since pure(r) helium is harder to get hold of these days.

Am I not straight?

I've only had one girlfriend in my life, it was 2 years long and we just sort of drifted apart. I've spent a year alone and haven't felt lonely, just kind of doing my own thing. But a couple days ago I was introduced to this one person, they were very cute and I asked them out. Our coffee date went very well and we agreed to do it again, but then I figured out that the girl I asked out was trans. Surprisingly I didn't have much of a reaction, I couldn't even tell, they were cuter and girlies than a lot of girls I know and more interesting. I've always prized myself as a very manly man, complete old school guy. Yet I'm actually thinking of pursuing this. I have no clue what this person has downstairs but I almost feel like I don't care if I like them. So am I like, bisexual or something? I'm 22, don't really understand why I'm feeling this.

What do I do if I always fear a girls sexual past? I've heard of guys doing fucked up shit like making a girl bang a dog, in front of a friend, even friends sometimes, all sorts of shit

I can barely handle a girl getting facialized by a guy. I've had sex but only in relationships and it was all pretty normal not really blowjobs and Cumming in face or anal stretching or anything like that.

Basically this girl I am REALLY close with has a kinda-like-bf-but-they-always-deny-it-they-even-go-on-dates and I've liked her for a long time.

Recently I learned that both of them lied and made reasons to not go with us with some other friends just so they could hang out alone-like in their house.

I really like her and I think confessing AND getting rejected will make me feel better.

But she's a nice friend too, albeit the lies.

Should I confess or not? About to go on soon. I'm going to confess real life.

to give you a bit of context, my (first ever) girl and i broke up after like a year, almost 4 months ago and she lives in another city which i have to travel by train to and it costs about 15$. A few days ago she texted me, we exchanged memes (we dont hate each other) and i said i still think about her, she said the same thing about me and when we started talking about our breakup, she said she wanted to break up because she was scared of getting too attached and that ill leave her. i dont know if i should get back with her or find someone else.
fun fact, her name is literally the sun, yes you can do that in my country

I'm thinking about getting a bodycam or something of the sort to record my whereabouts and the people around me 24/7. I'm scared of someone robbing me and getting away with it, or needing proof of a conversation. Is this a good idea? It would be something like a camera inside glasses.

How should I continue my approach with this shy girl? Some backstory first. Met on tinder and she agreed to have lunch with me. We met and she was extremely nervous about it. Could hear it in her voice for the first half hour or so. Said she rarely ever meets people from tinder and the people she has, she has never spoken to after. Fast forward and our lunch turned into 5 hours of hanging out. Added on fb and snap, found out she was hesitant to meet because she thought I wanted to hookup. Easy to tell from her behaviour that she’s not a hookup girl.

She spends most of her free time studying, and mentioned she’s not usually so shy and awkward around other people. Fast forward and we had a 2nd meetup which was a mountain climb. She said she had fun, and afterwards she came over to my place for a couple hours to study as her place was noisy that day. Really didn’t expect her to be open to it given all the shyness signals she’s been giving off.

Quick side note - while talking I found that she didn’t consider those two meets as dates, but when I mentioned I did, she said she’s happy to consider them dates.

Fast forward to now. We have a date planned for tomorrow night. Up to this point there has been no kissing and very minimal physical contact. It’s mostly from her not being comfortable to I think. We briefly hugged at the end of each date.

So that’s the backstory and it’s time for my question. We don’t communicate much outside of the dates. A little snap chatting and minimal messaging. Did call her once on lunch break. This is mainly because she usually takes at least 10-15 mins to respond probably due to studying. Very hard to get a flow going. Because of this I’m finding it hard to read her feelings. She agreed to third date and I am wondering how I should escalate? I want to try and hold her hand as we walk along the beach but I’m worried she won’t be receptive to the contact.

What do you guys think of the situation? Any questions?

Especially if it's someone you broke up with one year ago.

I don't want her out of my life completely so we keep in touch. We had a really long call a few days ago. After those I always feel heartbroken and sad and like I'm in love again.

I'm pretty much an autist and this girl was a godsend. We can talk for 4 hours about all the things that interest me, she was supportive and patient with my issues and the best fuck i had ever. However she did not want kids and after talking about that for 6 months and her not changing her mind, I broke it off. She doesn't want to get back together because she no longer is in love and said our characters were too different, but I still love her. I know she wasn't the one for me since I really want a family but I can't get over it. I already tried dating but I always compare the other chicks to her and they loose.

Any tips?

Hey /adv/ you guys have never steered me wrong in the past and now I need you more than ever, as I'm not sure who to talk to about this.

Less than a year ago I started my career in radio broadcasting and right now I'm working the bottom of the totem poll 6 to 12 swing shift while no one else is around. I work for a country am station and services a lot of farmers, families and churchies. Basically our station is the one they turn too if they want family friendly content. Which I do try to provide. However, I have no fucking clue what I'm doing anymore, my boss keeps telling me I need to relate more to the listener, but I have no idea how, my show has no structure aside from "talk every two songs" so I try to make it as interesting as possible but apparently I'm not relating. And everyone I ask - there's about 12 other jocks as we run two stations out of the same building - have been no help either "well that sucks you'll get it eventually" or nothing at all. I don't want to see like the new guy who whines all the time but I don't know how to ask for help and get the help I need. Right now I'm losing sleep over it and dread going into work let a lot spending more than half my day prepping for a show that might not be good. I'm not expecting help with me show prep here, but how can I ask for help without sounding like I have no idea what I'm doing - and even better how the fuck do I relate to people?
