You see, when it comes to knowing if a girl likes me or not I'm a complete idiot. Are there any give aways to know wether she is into you or not?

Rejected for the first time. How do I handle this? I've never been rejected before because I've only had two girlfriends in my life and those relationships lasted really long. Anyway, I feel so unwanted, ugly, and like a loser. Its just been bothering me that she didn't want to go on a date or even at least give me a chance to prove her wrong. I know this happens to people every time but its such a foreign concept to me to be humbled like this. Do Chad's also get rejected? Please tell me they do.

Some details! I wasn't directly rejected, the girl just said yes, but wouldn't ever be free to hang out. I was trying to find a time she would be but she kept saying she was busy and in the end said she would let me know when she would be free (Nice way of saying "please fuck off"). Hell, she even said she "forgot" to give me her number. Anyway I eventually gave up because I just spent time thinking about it and have come to the conclusion she was either to beta to say no or is just a cunt. Either way, would have preferred her to say no in the first place so I could avoid investing time in this.

with my friends I just drink a lot and laugh at whatever, do stupid things and stuff. but I've never hung out with a girl as a friend... She's a nice girl, doesn't drink nor smoke. Also invite her to my place is not an option cuz reasons.

So I live near Seattle and despite quitting /pol/ I am typically paralyzed by fear concerning nuclear war/ww3. Basically what I'm asking is how can I ease my mind? Reasons not to worry appreciated

I failed a class last semester and I'm repeating it. They have a rule where you need to complete 8 out of 10 labs to pass the course. So far I've done 7 of them. I've mostly been handing in my work from last semester even though you're not supposed to do that since it counts as plaigarism. To be fair I've updated it everytime so it matches the numbers they've changed.

Our labs are normally due on Thursday but since it's the end of the semester they made the due date earlier than normal. So I missed it and now it's considered late. I emailed the TA and asked him to mark it. He must have checked the metadata on the file cause he responded by saying it's from last semester and he can't accept it. He told me to email someone else and I did that, but that guy hasn't responded. This was like 3 days ago. I wanna add that I did update the lab because the numbers and such are different. It's just the template was from last semester.

7/10 labs. That means I would fail the class for a second time. I don't want to fail it. It's so fucking difficult and I failed the first time for the same reason.

What should I do now?

Who's in the wrong here?

I gave my gf my card to go to the grocery store and she got a block of cheese. So she leaves and I start eating the cheese. It was tasty as fuck, so I eat the whole thing and when I read the nutrition facts, I found out that I had just consumed 800 fucking calories. I'm trying to lose weight, my gf knows this and so I think she's trying to fuck me over. I start complaining when she comes back and she has the fucking nerve to yell at me for eating the block. It was my fucking money.

Was I wrong? Is she trying to make me fat so I won't find someone better?

For most of my life I've been obsessed with the pioneers of the natural sciences, and have always wanted to be one. I'm naturally gifted in the STEM field, and have stumped some of my teachers and even a professor. I'm going into my first year of college soon, and am planning on majoring in chemical engineering.

The thing is, when I think of pioneers of the sciences, I can only think of the ones during the early to mid 1900's. Rarely have I heard stories of huge advancements in the sciences. As time goes on, I think it'll be even harder to make smaller and smaller bits of progress.

How does one go about becoming a pioneer? What steps can I take now to set myself up for success like that? Or do I give up, and just accept that the great minds already came and went?

>got stood up again

When should I throw in the towel guys? I lost 50 lbs, cleared up my acne, and worked on my social skills, and I've made a lot of progress in therapy.

Yet its still not enough. I try online dating, doesn't work. I try getting numbers and such from girls in public, doesn't work. None of my friends have girl friends that aren't already taken, I mean what else is there? I've spent the past 6 months busting my ass to improve yet the only thing I want still can't have.

>Inb4 hur go to gym

I'm not scrawny manlet, and I honestly don't think it will help at this point if all the improvements I've made still aren't enough.

Any other guys know this feel? Working really hard and improving but still no gf?

As stupid as it is, I've let how I look influence my mood too much.

>girl :(
>somewhat tall
>pretty good posture (confirmed this with a friend--at least I don't walk like a troll?)
>chubby (was 190 pounds since elementary school, but I lost a lot of weight these past few months and people think I look "slim thicc" now; I have a flat stomach now and I'm beginning to realize that underneath all the fat, I'm anything but big-boned). I only have C-cups. My thighs are kinda meaty yet nothing overly shapely. Overall, there's nothing particularly sexual or excessive about my body...nothing to look at, not compared to more slender girls or more volumptuous ones...
>light ash brown hair, olive skin, hazel green eyes, unfortunate Pocahontas-tier cheekbones

Peoples' heads always turn when I'm walking. People sitting near me turn their heads and stare for long periods of time. When I finally look their way, I catch their eyes and sometimes, what the fuck, those assholes (girls and guys incl.) don't even bother looking away!

And I know it's not good attention. People, though they've never called me ugly, just don't compliment me. So I put two and two together: I must look freaky. There must be something off about my face or look.

...I...just feel like I should just stay in doors and not go out so I don't bother people. But I can't; I have to work, I have to attend class. I want to hang out with my best friend and go on adventures with her, to not stick to my neet-tier comfort zone or feel compelled to do everything after dark (where it's unsafe as fuck but no one can see me well).

So, /adv/, what can I do to get over my wretched ugliness? Back in grade school I was a devious and lively girl, one who never let shit like this get in my way. But now...I've seen how important first impressions are, and how visually people are wired to be. It saddens me...

I'm 26 y/o awkward virgin, so I may be over-reacting, but I met a girl at work and things have been going okay, she's 19, we see each other for 9 hours a day which probably isn't great for our relationship, we were talking for a while and she started coming over, she eventually asked me to cuddle with her the next time she came over and we did and kissed for a little while, and things were okay, but now it's like 1 step forward and 3 steps back, she started acting like she didn't want anything to do with me, so I was like w/e and gave her space, and then on the way home she grabbed my hand and held it the whole way home and then kissed me goodnight (we carpool to work), so then the next day she continues to be closed off, comes over and we cuddle for a while, we smoke some weed and she gets super quiet and reserved, ends up leaving 20 minutes later before kissing me goodnight, and then today acts closed off again, I don't really understand, she's had some horrible things happen to her, she has trust issues, and she's scared to commit to me, but she said she was developing feelings for me, but I just feel like things are going in a downward spiral and I'm blowing it.

tl;dr

Awkward virgin "dating" an awkward girl with trust issues
Acts closed off and then expresses her interest at random times

Any ideas on what to do?

So today at my job interview, I was told a drug test would need to be scheduled. I checked off on tha application that I agree to a drug test (if not I’m assuming I would not even be considered for a position), but I did not expect to actually have to take one for work at a grocery store. Getting this job means a lot to me, and I want to make some cash so that I no longer have to sell drugs (although I live in a recreational and medical state, there is no legal way to obtain marijuana besides being “gifted” it or growing it yourself). About a week ago, I smoked a few bowls out of a bong and a joint with friends on Friday. Saturday I had a bowl alone, and another on Sunday at mid(s)night. Since then I have not smoked. I am drinking as much liquids as I can. Currently, for health reasons, I take a probiotic, Dr. Tennant’s restore (shake) & raw materials (some pill), and enzymedica Digest. My drug test is going to be scheduled when I go to meet my manager on saturday in 2 days. So from the last time I smoked, it will have been about a week & a half. Can someone please let me know if there’s any chance that the supplements I am taking could aid in the digestion and processing of the cannabis metabolites? I have read that when you consume various vitamins (many vitamins are found in Dr. Tennant’s shake) that there is more metabolites produced in your urine and could possibly allow me to pass the urinalysis test. I am planning on sweating by putting on a bunch of layers tonight, then working out tomorrow when I have the opportunity. My parents also allow me to take CBD oil (cannabidiol extract from cannabis plant, a legal supplement that is a cannabinoid relative to THC and not psychoactive, but I am entirely unsure if I would be tested for it as most cannabis that contain high cbd concentrations are usually under 10%) Is it possible to dilute the THC metabolites by ingesting some oil over the next few nights? Will CBD be tested for?
