I'm really scared about the future with my gf.

I love her. I had a couple gfs in the past and I know how I feel about this one. I could marry her.
In fact we're talking about wedding and kids in 2-3 years time.
But we're only together for 6 months.

I'm not all that perfect, I' have depression. I work on it, but I still have a lot of episodes, which are really nasty.

We,re both 25, she works at a reastaurant and gets about an average pay in our country.
I also work but as student, but I have 5x the average pay saved on my account. I'm planning to get a bachelor degree the next year, and I can start working somewhere for a minium wage at the beginning.
She even has a slightly better car than me.

I'm just scared that I'm not enough of a man/person for her. I earn less money, I'm not a exactly a model in the looks department.
I just worry all the time that once the early chemistry will fade away, she will realise that I don't have that much to offer in material sense and will move on to a wealthier man.

well it's not a shotgun wedding, so you just tell her to wait til you've both graduated and gotten proper jobs etc. Having a measure of stability before marriage isn't unreasonable.

in the meantime, seek treatment for your depression or that will ruin both your lives. seek treatment via your uni healthcare if possible for free, or through the counsellor. Please take this seriously.

and do this course too please: http://www.mediafire.com/file/stl5ctg1ptogszt/MWTD.zip

My mother bought some finches out of impulse, and now it's just depressing. She's ignored the damn things for months now, just changing their water and food when they get dry, never when the water gets dirty (that job falls on me). There used to be three finches, now there's only two, the children of two of those three. These poor fuckers have lived in this cage their entire life, they've never been able to fly around since we have dogs. They're dirty, probably depressed, and at this point we're just waiting for them to die. At one point one of these two is going to die, and the other's just going to waste away alone. I tried talking to my mother about it, but she insists she's taking care of them, but her version of giving them attention is just leaving on the radio. The way I see it, I have three options
1. Poison their water; when their water dish wasn't completely cleaned (on accident) that did the trick on one of them
2. Convince my mother into just letting them go, but I expect her to be stubborn and insist she's taking care of them
3. "Accidentally" release them while she's out of the house.
Thoughts, /adv/?

2. She's already not going to budge
3. Do this then move out.

Just help take care of them. Maybe take them out while the dogs are outside?

Fuck that. Your asking him to be a pussy bitch for his mom. He might as well clean the whole house, walk the dogs, make dinner, and bend over at night so his mother mom can peg him. It's not his responsibility.

I'm a girl btw.

I used to have a high sex drive when I was a virgin, I was always masturbating and thinking about sex and getting turned on. Then I lost my virginity when I was in my 20s and then suddenly sex became something disgusting and I very rarely get turned on. Never actually enjoyed sex either.

Not on any medication, never took birth control.

Is this just normal for some people? Am I just asexual now?

Oh my god, I have the exact same problem and would really like to figure this out too.

Wow, I really don't know, that makes me a bit sad, I'm sorry. Do you have a significant other? Do they really try to spice things up for you? A Hitachi magic wand can do wonders, my GF likes to hold it on her clit while I fuck her, which is pretty fun except for the fact she only wants to do missionary now lmao

But if you want to remain asexual I suppose you do you.. but otherwise, treat it as a problem and begin troubleshooting

I don't have a lot of time to act.

I'm a 19 year old kissless virgin and I started college (again) this year. I was on a teacher training college last year but I had a bit of a meltdown (I had very high expectations, I guess) and dropped out. After that I was a neet and didnt leave home for a couple of months.

So, I met this chick who is 27 that works as a secondary teacher (so she doesnt really grade me or stuff, she's just there to help students) and at first I just thought she was interesting and stuff, but talking to her a little (just little comments about stuff and saying "hi" and stuff) I started to feel something when she smiled.

That was about 3 months ago, I started to develop feelings and I noticed that she likes me too, but I don't know if she likes me in a "he's a good kid" way or what. I noticed last monday that she would look a me a lot (and I wasnt looking at her) and she would smile when I looked back. Also, she fixed her hair and looked at me out of the corner of her eyes, when I noticed she was looking at me, she just looked away and tried to play it cool.
I dont know if I'm just imagining thing but she WAS looking at me.

Last class, she talked to me, which is strange, like, she would say little jokes and stuff like that (there are 2 other teachers and they tend to fuck around like that) and I would also make jokes and she laughed and stuff but what's interesting is that SHE started talking to me.

I dont know what to do anons, I have about 2 weeks left till this semester ends and I dont have her as a teacher anymore
I've been having a lot of dreams about her lately too and I realized that just seeing her makes me feel good or happy. It's been a while since I felt anything like this.

She recommended me to go to an art exhibition, which I did but I never talked to her about it. I mention this because I think this is the only subject we can talk about.

I'm out of time. Help, anons.

I went there by myself. She was working there but it seems that she wasnt there when I went. She just recommended me to go there because of something I had to do in a subject at college that was related to the exhibition.

I think I'll tell her that I went there and if she knows any other places that would be cool to go to and maybe try asking her out to one of those places. I dont know how I'll ask her out, I have no clue on what to say.
>>
>>18451672
Check on similar exhibitions, and then go to her and ask...
"Hey, wanna go to X with me sometime?"
>She answers yes (hopefully)
"Cool, what's your number? We'll set a time together later cus i gtg"
BAM

Don't over analyze asking someone out. Be simple about it.

How can an average guy realistically hook up/get with someone as attractive as Elizabeth C. Turner (gif related) ?

Should he chase money and physical fitness first ?

Should he make his life and goals a priority, before trying to attract someone like this ?

The other night a friend and I got drunk, we were hanging out with a group of people. He ended up kissing the girl I found the most attractive, and I got with this butterface instead. He is more likeable, he has an aura of charisma and he is older than me. You have to be sociable and funny, you have to have some sort of status, not just the quiet guy who occasionally talks or jokes.

>>18451629
I'm not here to argue, but the whole ''be yourself" isn't true.

Sure you have to like what you do, how you dress, how you talk, act and much more, but there are always going to be people (in this case women, not all of them) who don't like that.

For example: I have a few friends who are okay/friendly guys, but when I see them talk to women they tend to be cocky, tough and macho (they don't act like this when I hang out with them) and women just love it/eat it up.

when it comes to flirting? I don't think of myself as a people pleaser, nor am I slutty, but I keep confusing the shit out of the opposite sex by being too nice and apparently open to possibilities.

Eh, what do you mean with that?
>>
>>18451613
I've been told I make them think I'm into them because I try to be nice and friendly and look open to starting something with them. Like my eyes sparkle when I see them around. And I rarely ever reject an offer to spend time or do something together so I often end up in misunderstandings and shit because people think I'm dating them and even they think I'm dating them. Am I too pleasing?

TL:DR - constant internal conflict, not of the kind "good vs evil" or "right vs wrong" but more like "should I take this job or that job?" - how to deal with them without a clear objective in life?

Long version:

I am plagued with internal conflicts on basically everything in my life and I don't know how to solve them, either because I don't have a defined "aim in life" or because I put myself in a corner with the concept of being "consistent" and I need to learn to let go of it.

Explanation in the next post.
7 posts and 1 images submitted.

Here is an example of internal conflict that happens within me:

I used to date a woman that didn't like travelling, she was mortified at the thought of getting into an airplane.

We dated for a while and it always bothered me that if we stayed together, there would be no travelling, no "seeing the world". It felt like a wasted potential.

Eventually we broke up (not for this reason, obviously)

Now I am with a woman that actually likes to travel. She makes plans, tries to save money and so on.

And this annoys me to no end... I start thinking of all the money we are spending in these stupid trips and how much we could be saving for the future.


And this circle of thoughts keep turning in my mind:

1. I am unhappy with this.

2. wtf, maybe I was happy with the other one?

3. well, maybe I should look for a woman that doesn't like travelling so much, if I am not happy now

4. but shit, this feels like "giving up", just because travelling is expensive and often complicated

5. yeah, I shouldn't allow myself to give up like that, travelling should cool

6. go back to #1.


I clearly see that the starting point to a solution here is: "but OP, do YOU actually like to travel?"

And that is exactly what I mean by >I don't have a defined "aim in life"

I don't know what I like, every time I try to understand what I like by looking at events in my life, I get conflicting conclusions (like the one above: I was annoyed with the prospect of not travelling, but I am also annoyed with the effort necessary to do it).

ANd this shitty cycle happens on basically everything. Even things that bring me pleasure, I don't know exactly WHY I do it. For example: one of hte things I like doing very much is going to the gym, but I can't tell exactly if I actually like going there or if it is because of the women that I get to see (though in this case these are not conflicting reasons, they can be both true at the same time)
>>
Try to find the neutral, the golden, the middle. "She travels too much for my taste." -> "Let's travel a bit less and save up? Or travel to less expensive places?"

When having a dilemma with multiple options, just try finding the middle.
>>
>>18451622
OP still here:

>every time I try to understand what I like by looking at events in my life, I get conflicting conclusions

The obvious counterpoint to this is "But OP, you find out what you like by how you feel about it, not by looking at the evidence"

And even that feeling gets questioned and doubted. Because often when I find something that I like, I tell myself I "shouldn't like it" because of this or that reason.
For example:
Between these 2 women mentioned above I was hanging out on Tinder for about 5 months.

Got a bunch of matches, some successful dates. others not so much. But the flirting and dating was fun overall.

But then I kept telling myself: "You can't live on that, you will build anything serious or enjoy the benefits of a stable relationship like that"
And BAM, there I was choking my own "fun" out of the situation.

Months later I was able to recover the photo thumbnails (55px*55px) because they were stored on the OS drive. I guess something is better than nothing. It's good for scrolling through the gallery on a phone.

>Set aside hard drive and never touched again in hopes that the data may be recoverable by professionals.

Now
>ran out of storage space on all non reserved drives
>2TB photos hard drive sitting on shelf
>mental block preventing me from utilizing available hard drive

Should I format and start using it? Still have other drive but costs $2500 to fix, IF even possible. Can't afford that.

I don't know how old you are OP. I'm 34. I mention age because I've had technology in my life enough to build up and then lose due to hard drive failure more than a few 'vital' things.

The first upsetting one was my painstakingly ripped or dialup downloaded mp3 collection. I'd been on the case with that one from my mid teens. Local bands, live recordings, things borrowed from friends now no longer friends or living. I also lost all the masters from recording sessions with various bands I was part of in and around the local college. Pictures were not that big a deal funnily enough because decent digital cameras were kind of rare back then. That was the first owch.

Later I lost thousands of pictures of my ex wife and our life together, time spent living in america. More recordings of music projects (mp3's no longer relevant) my wedding video, university work/projects. This one hurt quite a lot because a lot of it was useful stuff which I'd like to have to refer back to, less sentimental, but certainly the pictures grew with the popularity and improvement of digital cameras.

The third failure cost me quite a few years of notes. At this point pictures are online or taken via smart phone for social media. Music is kept streaming and data I upload to the cloud. But I kept notes, references, spreadsheets, data from experiments and studies, things I knew would prove handy in the future and came to rely on which are no longer freely online. Still now I go to refer back to a chart or to check the rate of a value because I can remember testing it to death back in the day and the notes are just not there.

What I tend to do now is blog my notes and experiments. Not so much for others, though occasional input or feedback is useful, but so it is online in some form. I also keep a notebook, though that is likely the frailest method of all.

My employer recently gave me a contract amendment saying that I'll have to return or destroy my notebooks if I leave. Sucks.

I've fucked up. I really can't decide what I want and my indecision's just causing havoc.

I got wrapped up in having feelings for a close friend of mine - things just suddenly seemed to intensify between us and it all unraveled from there. She's the girlfriend of one of my best friends, they've been going out for 4 years or so. I've been going out with my own girlfriend for around 7 years. So, uh...I guess we unwittingly cucked each other's respective other?

Anyway. Both of us are generally regarded as Good People (haha) and tend to act that way - so despite having had a very clear chance at one point to fuck each other senseless, we just kept it to kissing and spilling our hearts out to one another - I don't think I've been more open with another person. We are obviously physically attracted to one another, but it was/is more of an emotional thing - and we're very similar people, to boot.

Things came to a head at one point and I decided to come clean to my girlfriend. She was upset, but not as angry as I figured she would be. Her one condition has basically been to cut off all communication with my friend - and I can't handle that. It's eating away at me inside and burying heads in the sand doesn't solve anything.

I want things to return to the heated excitement and fun that we had - simply looking forward to that shit was one thing, but talking to her for hours was exhilarating - but I don't want to fuck things up further for people I care about. But my girlfriend has done nothing wrong and she worships the ground I work on. My (male) friend is acting as if none of this has happened, and our social circles are far too entangled for this to not have repercussions if I were to pursue things with his girlfriend - and he doesn't deserve this, either. But we can't deny the feelings that we have for one another.

Any opinions on what to do? I've no idea where to take things from here, other than separating briefly from my girlfriend in order to think things through.

At least you have friends to be involved with.
>>
>>18451516
Anytime you are in a relationship with someone, there will always be someone else whom you feel stronger passion for. The hardest challenge of a long term relationship is to reject that passion for your partner. You guys fucked up badly in that regard. If I were you I'd try to patch things with your GF, and then ask if in the future after you prove yourself can you be friends with this other girl again.
>>
>>18451531
To add to this, if she refuses to allow you to remain this girls friend after you prove your faithfulness then I would consider going for this other girl. Basically talk it out and try to return things to how they were.

My crush is friends with my brother, I'm pretty sure she hates me. Apparently I'm a "potato nigger".

What the fuck am I supposed to do? She has him hiding the friendship from me. They're "just friends" even though I caught them fucking. I'm not really furious, just worried that she hates me. Should I give up?

Is it normal that it bothers me and makes me really embarrassed for a few minutes to an hour when someone says something kind of vicious and sarcastic to me? It's not like it bothers me the entire day or something, but it just really stings and sometimes the memory can still come up after a few weeks. Am I the only one to whom this happens? I don't think this makes me a very insecure person, or does it?

ocd behaviour.
getting rid of it is a simple process, yet it is everything else than easy.
you need to train your self.
commit to try and keep holding out on picking for a short amount of time at first, tell yourself that if you get the urge, you have to count to five first, then you can pick. when you got that down, go up to 10, etc. that way you train yourself to endure not giving in. if you're at a good time being able to hold out, try to substitute it with a simple yet effective gesture like making fists for the time you count. you probably have tried to overcome it by distracting yourself, but that won't work, compulsive behaviour can not be distracted. you simply need to learn to endure the temptation. imagine your endurance to hold out like a muscle you need to train. also, what helps is to not try and fight the temptation, just go with it without giving in. stay strong (imagine a rock staying where it is admitst the waves) but don't try to go against it (imagine trying to hold back the masses of water). one needs strength, the other force. both are exhausting, but using force is a lot more exhausting, causing your willpower to be used up much faster, iow you'll give in easier.

Got an ex who I'm still friends with. They want me to check their papers/assignments also give them minor tutoring on a subject I'm good at.

How do I say "People literally pay me $25 an hour to do this, I'm working full time, and we're not fucking anymore so don't expect me to do it for free?" without sounding like a total cunt and keeping the friendship?

Say you're schedule is too busy with actual clients and that you're sorry you can't fit her in. If she can read between the lines she should propose herself to become one of those clients and pay you to do it. If she's unwilling to pay she'll likely just go away.
