Girls how deep in the friendzone am I?

>Girl has hungout with me every single day for the past two weeks
>Literally only leaves my house on the weekend to go to bed
>Every other day asks me if I want to get dinner
>Sends me memes and texts me about boring things at 2am
>If I don't see her for more then a week she sends me texts such as "I Miss You" and "I want to hangout again"
>Had a plane delay going back to school and sends me a text saying, "I saw your plane delay and I'm super worried, I hope you get back to school on time."

...she has a boyfriend who lives an hour away.

I've been looking for a hobby in order to make friends and fight off depression, so I've set my mind on tabletop RPGs and when I have a better understanding of them I'll look into local groups. What are the best ones to get into? The most popular seem to be D&D, W40K and Shadowrun but I'm totally new to the scene so have no real clue where to start.

A couple of months ago while experimenting with my dingis, I found a method to stop ejaculation completely.

When I reach the point of no return, I hold my breath and use all my energy to squeeze my entire bottom region staying as motionless as possible for a around 10 seconds. If I do these steps right, I lose my boner and get some pre-cum. However, if executed successfully, I achieve total control over my manhood. I am able to maintain the boner and control ejaculation just by adjusting my breathing (Hold breath to delay)

Although it takes a bit of effort, each time i repeat this process, the consequent ejaculation feels better.

Any anons with similar experience or anyone got insights on this? I feel its too good to be true and theres some downside I dont know about.

I'm going through a major transformative period in my life at the moment - some which can be viewed as majorly positive, some of which can be viewed as majorly negative. I'm a recovering alcoholic that has been sober for a while now, and I've been focusing on my health/working out a lot, so I'm in the best shape of my life.

But I also quit my high-paying, high-status job and am figuring out my career path (I have offers in the pipeline), which may include moving, depending on job offers. And I don't intend to permanently quit drinking.

Is it fair of me to date someone right now, given that the person I am right now might not really be the person I am in as little as six months from now?

Basically can anyone tell me or help me think of a way to guarantee someone that you are and will be faithful?

I stare blankly at stuff for hours at an end and have a weird empty feeling inside of me. I listen to music while I do this and think a lot. What has happened to me? This has never happened before.

How do I get my lazy ass to just sit down and read!
I have 200 books and only read about 20.
Instead I constantly sit in front of my PC.

I've been casually dating this girl for 2 weeks. I have never had a romantic relationship beyond 1 night stands. I am 30, she is 26. I will list below the series of events meaningful to my question.

>Connect on bumble. I extended her because she is literally the most attractive woman I have ever been with.
>Immediately connect and text. We both work nights so we stay up til 5am texting and its great, set up a date
>Arrive on date, we talk then start making out at the bar. Agree to go back to her place
>Stay night, we literally fuck all night. Mind blowing sex
>she sends mixed signals, saying she doesnt know what she wants and that I shouldn't fall for her but also says she is low key in love with me and acts like we are in a relationship
>she texts me next day talking about daydreaming about how many times I made her come
>she continues to initiate texts, but as days go on, it becomes like pulling teeth to get her to respond (she has acknowledged she is a bad texter and hates texting)
>next date we get together, go to bar with her friend who says she does have feelings for me, go to laundromat together for date, end up back at her place, more mind blowing sex
>a few days later she invites me over, I go over, she sends me home because she got coked up and had "girl time"
>2 days later go out with her again, back to her place with her gay friend and his friend, more great sex despite her being on period, she then kicks me out of bed for snoring too loudly, and later outright sends me home
>its been almost a week since that night, minimal texting, ask when she is free and she says she is working this weekend so it wont be for awhile, and that she is depressed

so to my question: how do I proceed?

Started losing weight and getting muscular.
I turned my life around, I even got my petty """revenge""" at girls that liked the new me and told them to fuck off. Once that happened, I realized I'm a huge fucking manchild loser and I've lost even the slight bit of humanity I still had, and now I'm absolutely nothing but a husk. I'm barely emotionally functional.

I'll never be happy man, because I don't know how to be happy. I've been miserable my whole life and I'm sure that's affected my mind. I can't be happy around people, I'm not happy alone, I'm not happy drinking and I'm not happy being a church-goer. I'm not happy smoking and I wasn't happy before I started smoking. I'm never happy. I hate everything and I don't particularly enjoy anything. Someone I know told me this exact shit yesterday and I'm slowly pushing even the few resilient people that stayed with me for so long away. I've had 3 close people to me since ever, and one of them is already starting to avoid me. Soon it'll be the other 2 and I'll be completely, literally alone.

Wanna hear something fucking sad? I don't have even 1 saved cent because I have absolutely nothing to save money for. Absolutely nothing at all. I got a recently brought car that sits there in the parking because I have nowhere to go and nothing to do.

Is there any way to avoid dying as another loner under the tracks of a train or at the bottom of some huge ass building?
Is there any way to fix myself?
>inb4 you need to learn to be happy with yourself and love yourself before anything else.
Alright, cool, I'm willing to try anything, so what's next?

I'm a 19 year old male, and while I've got a decent social life and nothing majorly wrong with me, I find that sex and women rule over my brain now more than ever. It's honestly getting annoying. Sometimes the mere thought that women EXIST is enough to turn me on.

But for the record, I don't have some kind of pornography addiction and I have healthy, mature relationships with plenty of women irl.

While I'm assuming this is normal, most all of my male friends are, relative to me, manlets. So I don't really have anyone I could casually ask this to.

I am noticing that as I get older, the pool of dateable women is shrinking at light speed.

For example, I am 28. My friend tried to set me up with a 30 year old female. I asked "does she have any crazy baggage?" He said no. Okay perfect!

Come to find out she is unemployed, 2 kids, and a recovering meth addict. I stopped talking to her.

This situation has happened to me multiple times. Women in their late 20s, early 30s have so much inescapable baggage.

I have relatively no baggage. My parents are dead, I have no kids, I have no siblings, I have a good job, never addicted to any drugs. My worst trait is probably my inexperience with relationships. That's it!

Now all I seem to get set up with are women ravaged by child birth, drugs or just generally bad choices.

I actually have not met a woman in her early 30s who does NOT have any critical issues or baggage. What is it about that age that just fucks up women?

My question is... am I in the wrong for not looking past their baggage? I have a hard time because I have no baggage of my own. So I can't really relate.

My theory is that because women have more relational opportunities, they end up in more situations that could end with baggage. For example, women are getting dick thrown at them all day. It's probably more likely to find women older in age who have kids than younger. Basically with all these opportunities for sex, I guess it logically follows that kids would come too.

Ultimately, I just don't want to have to raise some other dudes kids. That shit is weird.

Any health wizards or Doctors browsing /adv/ around?

I need help.

This is now the fourth time in a row that I get food poisoning symptoms. It's been like this for over 2 months now.

> I'm OK
> Go out to eat (just normal food, no exotic food or anything with fish, always in different places)
> Wake up in the middle of the night with excruciating stomach and intestine pains
> The pain lasts for at least 2 days, if I don't take any meds, varying between really aggressive to bothersome
> Diarrhea
> Pain finally stops, feeling a lot better, yet somewhat dizzy
> 3-4 days later get labial herpes sore
> 7 days for it to heal
> I'm OK again
> Go out to eat
> Rinse and repeat

I don't know what's wrong, it's getting really annoying, specially since I haven't had a herpes outbreak in almost 3 years, and I never had it happening consecutively like this.

And I've always been know for having a strong stomach. I'm 25, male.

I've decided to see a doctor this week, but any information might help.

At least give me something to prevent the herpes. It's uncomfortable and really brings my mood and self-confidence down. (my mother gave it to me, she's the only one I know that has it. She didn't know better at the time, and wasn't aware that it spreads by touching.)

I am trying to impress my crush somehow. She's got a tattoo and a piercing. I'm thinking about doing the same. Is it wise to ask her, if she would go there with me?

So I went for a cup of coffee with a girl I like and I thought it was implicit that it was a date, as we havn't know each other for long, and I didn't really feel friendzoned or anything at all.

We spend 6 hours drinking coffee getting some food and some beers etc., and then we we're about to part, she says something along the lines of "We really make a good team, you're a really nice friend.." or something similar.
I ask her "Just friends? That's all you think it is?" and we talk. I tell her I really like her, and she says you're really nice, but I didn't really think of you that way blah blah blah, and she ends up suggestion that we could go out again. I ask "On a real date?", she responds " Yes, a date!" and we hug and part.

This morning she texted me "I am really sorry, but I owe you the same honesty you gave me. I am really in love with a friend of mine who has a girlfriend, and I don't know what to do, but I actually really do like you, I just don't think i can actualyl commit to going on a date with you blah blah blah, I really would love to hang out, but It wouldnt be fair to call it a date, cause I feel about him like i do. I should have told you. I am sorry."

Did I lose?
