On snapchat with my girlfriend I went from yellow heart to red and then after a while back to yellow.
Anyone know what this means? Can she have a red one with someone else? And why did it regress?

But all it says is "you have been bffs for two weeks" and i had the red heart and now its gone even though we didnt stop snapping?

God, it's like you can't read or something.
How do I inform relatives of my decision to commit suicide without them freaking the fuck out or jeopardizing it?
a suicide note? like what the fuck you don't tell people you're gonna kill yourself unless you want to be stopped
>>18527812
You can't.
>>18527814
What the fuck am I supposed to put in a suicide note then?
I'm not gonna write a goddamn novel full of emotional pussy shit, but just saying "Yeah I killed myself" comes off as a little condescending, no? Just because I'll be dead doesn't mean I don't care about their feelings
So I used to gamble. A lot. I won a lot and I lost more, nearly my life a couple of times. I have felt bad for having wasted my time but am in a progressive and productive place now.
I'm 27 and 2 years removed from my gambling addiction. Steady job, debt cleared off and now going back to uni to fulfill some of the great academic potential I had when I left high school.
I even feel ready enough to entertain the possibility of dating again but I'm rather self conscious about my past and the fact I'm a fair way off where I really ought to be in life at this age and still living with parents, even though things are moving in the right direction.
I want to be straight up when women ask about my past but at the same time, I think gambling addicts are looked down upon with a special kind of disdain and talking about these things is something that comes up fairly quickly in any kind of courtship.
Any advice on the best way to approach this?
they are looked down upon but any woman worth a damn would be proud of you for overcoming it for so long
if you feel like the woman you end up with doesn't know you it wouldn't be good anyway
bro everyone makes mistakes. You're aware of them now and have a plan to move forward, thats a big thing.
I have to concur with other Anons here.
If you want to be straight about it then be straight, but do it in a presentable manner - say that you're through with it in the same sentence you mention it.
Convince them that overcoming it is a much bigger deal than falling for it in the first place.
Don't forget to add how great of a learning experience it was, etc.
You know the drill - drag the attention away from shame and into the glory.
This way you can both be straight about it *and* score points. A win/win.
And if a woman doesn't buy it - then she sure as hell wouldn't buy it if you were completely blunt about it.
After all, it's not in your best interest to get into a relationship with someone who *wouldn't* like you if they knew.
Keeping it to yourself is a bad idea, unless you're not looking for anything serious - then it might pass.

I'm 23F, he's 27M. I've known him through my ex as they worked together and I slowly came to like him. He's an all around amazing guy, runs marathons, lifts, takes care of his stuff and very family orientated. He treats his friends like gold and often hosts dinner parties for them(A few I've had the chance to join in on), he's like the perfect husband material.
So after I dumped my ex, I tried to hook up with him but he flat out rejected me and told me to spend time on myself and that he wouldn't date or touch me. This hurt but I had other options and explored those while still being friends. I would later find out that the guy is a virgin by choice(But he's so hot!) and that he just hadn't found a girl that he liked deeply like that. This made me want him even more since it showed that he was serious and knew what he wanted out of life. I jumped him one day when a bunch of us as friends were hanging out and kissed him on the lips, he kind of froze but returned the kiss and I continued to make out with him for a while. I kept trying to get some drinks in him to loosen up, but he doesn't drink either and...well, I may have playfully called him a "pussy". Everything seemed fine but later he texted me and asked why I did that. I told him that I liked him, but he said that what I did had violated his personal space and that he'd told me to just be patient and work on myself before trying to date again. I was confused by this as I assume all guys enjoy female attention. But he went on to say that me kissing him in front of all of our friends was a power move on my part and that the only reason he didn't push me off, was because he didn't want to make a scene. He said he found me attractive, but that he was concerned about my rushing into relationships and more-so that I zeroed in on a friend on my ex's without consideration for how my ex would feel.
>>18527756
We've texted since then, met in mutual friends groups. But I don't know how to crack this guy. He's seriously very hot, super kind and knows so much. I've slept with a few guys since then, but none of them really do anything for me and this guy has been very understanding of me; but keeps on saying that I need to give myself breathing room. I invite him to parties all the time, but he refuses yet will pick me up from them and drop me off home when I'm plastered and bring me home cooked meals in the morning to recover. He's seriously amazing. How do I get him?
He can tell you're a stupid toxic hoe and wants nothing to do with you. Your entitlement thinking you can basically go around sexually assaulting men whenever you want because you're a woman makes you look even worse.
>>18527757
>I go to parties all the time and get so worthlessly drunk I can't even make it home
He's a clean, non-drinking, fairly successful athlete who has his shit togather You're a drunken college girl thot who keeps gaining more weight.
Work on yourself.
My female friend of many years now has confessed that she has feelings for me, and I'm not really interested. I think she's pretty and really cool but I love my ex gf which I guess is a story for another day......... She also dated my roommate and broke up with him like 2 months ago.
Anyway, she came up with the idea of staying with me for a while.
She says that the basic idea is so she can get it out of her system, which is weird.
Obviously this is also weird because she dated my roommate, but I am inclined to say that's fine because I would like having her around and there is no reason I have to do anything that makes me uncomfortable.
I don't really want to lose a friend in this situation, and I think that if I don't entertain this idea of hers she'll get upset and not talk to me for a while which sucks. What do?
I probably already know the right answer I just need some anonymous people to yell at me.
It's her or the roommate.
>>18527732
i want die
>but I love my ex gf which I guess is a story for another day.........
No it's not. This sounds like a pretty important detail so elaborate on that a little.
I ghosted the only girl who had shown interest in my sorry ass and I can not stop dreaming her.
I dont think she has completely forgotten about me even tho she has slept with other men this past 5 years. Shes still single after all this time. How do I go about trying to talk to her

Icant stop myself. My existence is cringy Ive tried forgetting her but I cant. I NEED her. The reason I left was because I didn't think I was worthy to be with her
My girlfriend has had an eating disorder for a good while now, but is finally taking action and going to a residential car facility for at least a month. We decided that it was best to semi-break up about a week ago since she needed to get healthier before we could actually have a relationship. We both really want to stay together after all of this, but I'm not sure how realistic that is.
I'm trying to figure out if it would even be healthy for us to continue dating. How much of our relationship was just an outlet for her eating disorder? Is it better to be there to support her or leave so she can work on being independent?
I don't really know anyone with experience with this kind of thing.
>>18527673
How I see it anon, you should continue dating her. You yourself said that you want your relationship to continue.
Also put yourself in her shoes, once she'll start recovering she might need your support to make sure she doesn't fall back into the disorder again. I don't think she'd want you to leave at such a important time.
>>18527673
Well, a relationship with someone like that is probably doomed, *but* I don't see why breaking up would necessarily help. Relationships don't have to be intense and serious. You two can date each other without thinking of marriage and all that.
>>18528600
This anon has a good point. Having someone to turn to for emotional support is healthy, and so is sex.
>>18528634
>>18528600
That's kind of what I've been aiming at for best case scenario. I doubt that we'll make it to marriage or anything, but neither of us are ready to give up on the relationship. My main concern with that one though is how much of the relationship was genuine and how much was her just latching on to someone cause of the disorder.
Will an escort make the lonely feelings go away?
Absolutely not. And realize that lonely men believing that they share a connection with an escort are a big part of their income.
>>18527652
No. You'll feel better for an hour, then lonely again. I don't think you have the capital to see one every day, so you'll have to deal with your loneliness in a more permanent way.
>>18527662
>more permanent way
My first though reading that is suicide but I assume you mean something else
>24 M
>petrified of getting an STI, particularly herpes and HPV
>refuse to have one night stands as a result
Isn't it odd to ask for a sex partners blood work before having sex? How am I to ensure I'm being as safe as possible without 1) insulting the woman and 2) getting duped by her?
You don't have to tell them to get blood work done, just tell them you won't sleep with them until they're tested. If you're against one-night stands it means you'd be asking people you're already talking to, in which case it's not awkward.
>>18527586
yeah no one ever will. a girl might show you her most recent results but no girl is going out and getting her blood drawn for you, and it takes up to two weeks to get results back depending on where you went, and by then she could have had sex with any number of men she wanted so its not an effective strategy at all.
even with a condom there is only 40% protection from herpes. the only way would be to connect your condom to even more latex that covers your entire pubic region.
as for HPV, you can get vaccinated. its not usually recommended for men but you can insist on it if you're willing to pay for it. its only recfommended for women and gays because of how much sex we have.
>>18527586
Clean girl here.
Nope, it's not odd but only shows that you care about your health and don't sleep around. I never sleep with anybody before exchanging bloodtests (costs around 30-50€ depending on what you want to know). Takes two weeks.
It's also a good way to select herpes roasties out which will already know that they will fail. Don't let them tell you that it's all right. Whores will always try to talk it down because they know that their market value is shit due to having a STD. Stay safe anon and get a nice and clean girl.
Why do I want to get one
I'm not a chad, or a felon
But I've turned a big corner in my life (recovered from big illness, broke up from a long term but crap relationship, finally getting back into the real world), and I guess I want something to mark it?
I know two very talented artists who've done tattoos before, and I've got the money and resources to get it done properly
I work in an industry where they can't be visible, but I thought on the top of my left thigh would work and be all but invisible. My hand naturally rests there while driving/flying as well.
If you want one, get one. The only thing I'd say is to make it tasteful and to place it somewhere only a few would see but it looks like you're already doing that. Not sure what advice you want.
>>18527585
I just came out of a tough breakup, and I got a tattoo more or less because of it. If the tattoo means something significant to you and you truly know you won't regret getting it, then by all means get it.

How do you find a psychiatrist fast without having to admit yourself into a hospital stay?
I've contacted at least 7 today and the earliest appointments are in October. No wonder so many people commit suicide. Help isn't easily accessible at all.

Keep calling more. Till you find one where there more accessible.

What are your ways to stay calm and not let minor problems or insignificant thoughts be blown out of proportion?
Sometimes the slightest things in my life have my brain go on a journey of anxious thoughts and terrifying experiences that will probably never happen. I'm still scared though of just what if something happens.
For example, my first girlfriend and I have been together for about a month and she is at orientation for her college. She told me she sat on some guys lap while he talked and I realize that that really isn't that big of a deal but it makes me feel like I'm boring and not interesting enough of a person or anything of the sort. I've been sitting here for like 20 minutes just thinking about it and other things in my life and just I stay worried all the time.
That's only one example of me blowing something out of proportion. I know other people on this board have thoughts like this too and I'm wondering what are your ways of dealing with it. Usually I just try to go to sleep when something is bothering me because if I'm asleep I can't think about anything. That doesn't always work and I would like to know of ways I can just be more human and not be so terrified over the small stuff. I think dealing with this would also help me focus on more major projects in my life.
>>18527505
Well, it can be because of low self esteem, too much free time, a deeper problem that you'd rather ignore instead of confront, real concern, or a combination of these.
For example, the guy. Maybe you are worried because you think low of yourself. Maybe you are worried because she might actually cheat. Maybe you are worried because you literally have nothing else to think about.
Here's my strategy for them:
In meditation there is a concept of keeping the mind still.
When negative thoughts or mental content arise, discard them as soon as possible.
Maintain a neutral or positive state of mind and refrain from listening to negative stories and perceptions.
When negative thoughts arise, I like to block all the senses. I do this before I sleep, I simply watch my mind and all the things that arises, if it makes me feel bad, I note it and discard it. If it makes me feel nice and comfy, I keep it. I end up falling asleep but maintain this presence of mind when I wake up. It was like I just closed my eyes and I was still awake the entire night.
>>18527505
I'll let you know how to solve it once I've been to therapy more, I have the same thing as you so I decided to go get it fixed. Looking at CBT and mindfulness exercises, been working on narrowing down my feelings of why I worry
For sleeping I'll lie as flat as I can on my back, and utterly still, trying to focus only on my breathing for as long as I can, deliberately zoning out. Helps me sleep in about 10 or so minutes.
>gf issue
That said if she knows you over-think things and are stressed, and it's a new relationship, she's doing that deliberately to stress you out, make you desperate and need her
Be careful around her, that's a pretty big red flag

Very informative.
Random as fuck, but thank you.
This is exactly what I was looking for.
