How do I get better at telling stories? Interesting things do happen for me but I often forget, or I tell them pretty badly.
>people listening always have to ask questions because I explain poorly/don't make sequence of events clear
>I'm afraid of giving too many details and making stories to long-winded
>I don't even believe my own stories are interesting
>it always feels like people lose interest by the end

Listen to some of really good stories told by people and analyze what makes them so good. Compare and contrast them to how you tell your stories and figure out what yours lacks.
Also, any good story teller will tell you to always exaggerate details to make it more interesting.

>Go out with conservative catholic girl.
>She's 24. Only had three boyfriends before. Has an 8PM curfew on weekdays. 10PM curfew on weekends
So basically we've been out three times, and I'm still nervous around her. I haven't even held her hand yet, where as other girls I made out with on the first and second date, and fucked on the third date.
This chick though...I don't have that effortless chemistry that I'm looking for, you know? Does that mean that it'll be more special when I eventually get that natural laid back chemistry around this chick, or just figure that it won't happen and call it off?
I feel like I need to be all proper around her, due to her conservative and way more educated background.
I still only have my high school diploma, where as she's getting her Masters
I sent her a text saying that I need at least a couple day break to assess what's going on here (whether or not I should call it off).
Am I a fucking idiot bros?
She's Vietnamese. Pic related is me.
I'm thinking about just making out with her if I see her again to take the edge off. Would that be a good idea? I've over-thought this situation so much that I believe it's the only way

So... you're having to act a different way to jump through hoops to make her feel okay?
What do you get out of this arrangement?

Fuck sorry. This is also a complete 180 from my normal personality. I can't have sex with anyone else without thinking about her still and I used to be able to have sex with other girls while dating girls and it would literally not even cross my mind.

Hey /adv/,
I don't come here often but something has been bother me.
I just got out of a 8+ month relationship (I initiated the break up) with a girl that I actually still very much care for and am friend with. We've hung out and banged after the break up but I can't stop thinking about her.
She's doing this thing where now that she's 'free' she's trying to get banged as much as possible (she's 18, so still going through that experimental phase) and though I shouldn't care since we're no longer together, I get bothered thinking she's going out with some guy, even at this moment.
I just need to know, how do I just get rid of her in my thoughts and how do I get over the very true fact that she's gonna go out and bang other dudes while we're hanging out?
I know an option is to cut off communication but that's sort of a last resort for me since I really do think she's a good friend as well as a good fuck.
For the sake of transparency, we've been separated for a week.
Thanks for reading :)

1. You'll never get over her if you try to be friends with her or try to fuck her. That's retarded. You're not friends, you're two exes with fucked up heads who use being "friends" as an excuse not to do the difficult thing of moving on.
2. She's flaunting her sex life to make you jealous and get your attention because she's a child and that's the only way she knows how to behave.
3. The only thing that will help you get over her is time and the only way you will get time is if you stop talking to her for the time being. 6 months at minimum. There is no way around it. There is no other option. Do it or don't. Up to you.

>>18126217
>She's flaunting her sex life to make you jealous
I don't think this is true. She's just being who she is. I remember when I met her she was already into this kind of thing. Hell, if it weren't for that aspect of her personality, I probably wouldn't have been able to get with her. She's just a very open person.
>You're not friends, you're two exes with fucked up heads who use being "friends" as an excuse not to do the difficult thing of moving on.
You might be right about this but also we just enjoy talking and being with each other there were just fundamental differences that we couldn't accept in each other that led to the break up.
Also, I'm still very much physically attracted to her.

Is it possible to get free supplements?
I'm talking like vitamins and pills you'd pick up at a GNC or Vitamin Shoppe. I'm interested in certain supplements but they aren't cheap. Any places do trial packs? Or like a "try me" sort of thing they send in the mail? Sorry if this is too retarded of a question

A very pretty 18 year old girl wants me very badly. Every guy wants her but she is basically wrapped around my finger at this point. I'm 25 and never even kissed a girl. She definitely has experience and I can tell she wants me to lead her. She's coming over in two days to smoke weed with me and I am almost 100% sure she expects me to make a move on her.
Help. I'll probably just off myself if I'm a virgin at 26 and this is by far the easiest and best shot I've ever had in my life to fix one of my biggest issues. Give me all of the advice you can, I really want to succeed here.

Well, it seems like you got a chance
Be attentive to her signs, and since you know it you'll have to make the first move. You don't have to "be sure" or "wait for the right moment". When you feel it, just don't hesitate and kiss her.
You don't have to rush things next, just don't put too much pressure on yourself or you'll have a more difficulties to stay hard, try to enjoy
>>
Be careful around young girls like her, I'd advise being as open as possible with your feelings. Just invite her out, tell her what's on your mind, be honest about yourself and she's definitely like you.
Also, be ready for some clinginess, maybe.
>>
Her interest in you is solely because you're older than her, and she's probably just looking to get alcohol from you anyway. You'd be just another orbiter if you weren't 25.

This is a really good question. I like the way you worded it. I've come here asking a similar question before, but I didn't know how to phrase it.
In a similar way, one of my biggest pet peeves is when people paint certain situations in a certain light, to their advantage. A good example is, when you're at work and you've been doing a task away from someone else, and later, when they see you they ask "Where have you been hiding?!"
There's no good response. Even if you explain, they've still put the idea that you're lazy and hiding somewhere in everyone else's mind.
The best thing you can do is call those people out on their shit or just ignore them completely, if you can.
>>
Can you give examples? I'm curious about what you mean
>>
I know exactly what you mean, and people pull this shit all the time.
>>18126183
As this person put it, they make it so there literally is no good response. If you get mad, they'll say it was just a joke and you're overrating. But they are legitimately taking a strike at you. They just do so without wanting to have any consequences.

I've fallen in love with a older woman I met online. After my first relationship 6 years ago (I was 17) I thought I was done with all this stuff but I can already feel it becoming an obsession, thinking about her all the time, etc etc. I hadn't even seen her for the first 3 months we spoke.
After being cheated on in my first relationship I decided to focus on my professional life and save love till I'm 30. I'm in my early 20s now and am more successful than both my parents and 99% of people my own age but I haven't had sex in over 6 years nor ever tried to pursue it.
If I don't make a definitive decision soon I will become obsessed, which will lead to me hurting myself emotionally and financially. She has a child with a disability. I don't want that in my life so why am I so drawn to her? This isn't lust, it's a very hard crush.
It isn't like I'm lonely and she's the first to reach out to me either, I'm a very independent and introverted person and I really don't care what others think, I've had chances with girls who are prettier than her too and not pursued so why am I stuck over this girl I barely know who logically I should run from?
My behaviour is already changing, I'm catering like some beta cuck. She makes me feel like I have to validate myself to her.

You need to stop talking to her immediately. You are vehemently against helping her raise her family. That's totally fine and no one can blame you for it. That's some mature, crazy shit to have to deal with. But you're being a dick by leading this chick on, and making her think you're ready for that kind of life.
Stop that. She needs to be with someone who is 100% willing and able to help raise her kid. There are a lot of men out there who can do that. Either single dads, divorcees, or a guy who just feels like she's worth it.
Since you don't want to do it, don't. Stop being an asshole to yourself and to her, and drop all contact. You'll feel strongly about someone else again in the future.
>>
>>18126143
I'm not leading her she's leading me. Blatant flirting, nude pic I didn't ask for.
I'm not vehemently against helping anyone raise their family but from a purely financial perspective there's nothing worse I could do for myself.
She went from class 5 clinger to "yeah I live with a guy who helps me take care of my child but we aren't together"
My best friend lives with me, so does his 4 year old child and I love him as much as I love my best friend. I don't know who you think you are but kindly go fuck yourself.

>a few days out the month she becomes a frigid bitch
The stories are irrelevant. After a year living with her I realize that it's just her hormones, regardless of whatever I may do, however small to trigger it
Wtf to do? Staying quiet and to myself seems to work best only because it prevents war.

How to deal with lonlieness?
>friends and I are growing apart
>family is disfunctional
>the one girl I cared for the most in my life is getting married
>didn't make many friends in college
I'm about to graduate and join law enforcement. I feel like its going to he hard meeting people outside of college. The only place I go and meet people is when I go out to practice MMA, but I usually don't much time to chit chat.
It sucks not having anyone just randomly talk to you and ask you how you are or what you've been up to.

She half-heartedly agreed to go on a date with me this last sunday, but then she texted me sunday morning saying she couldn't go because [half assed excuse] and that we should set-up to go out again "some other time".
Today, as we passed each other in the college hallways, she gave me a polite, not necessarily warm nor cold "Hi" while walking with her guy friends.
So, it's time to give up and move on to the next one, right?

If you REALLY like her and want to give it one last chance, I'd say ask her out one more time. If she says no/flakes for any reason, then cut her off and move on.
>>
>>18126194
This. She gets one more opportunity to flake out on you. If she does, cut and run.
>>
You do not ask her again. Let her see you walking with another girl and give her the neither cold or warm hi. She will text you soon.

Hey /adv I've been exercising regularly and I'm curious if eating a protein bar every morning would improve my overall health. (I don't typically eat breakfast so it'd be somthing I'd start my day out with) Is it worth the 2X.XX dollars per box?

You don't need breakfast. Fasting until lunch or whenever can be really healthy actually. Most protein bars are made of shit ingredients and the ones that aren't are expensive.
>>
>>18126090
Most protein bars are candy bars in disguise. They have a ridiculous amount of sugar and carbs. If you want protein and healthy vitamins, cook up a bunch of hard boiled eggs to last the week, and have one or two with a piece of fruit.
>>
To me, protein bars are the equivalent of slimquik. You think ITS RIGHT THERE OM THE BOTTLE IT MUST BE GOOD. Then you look up ingredients and its horrible. Try to find alternatives. Maybe make a healthy sandwich before bed. Or whole grain bagel with jelly. Small fruit sllalad. Breakfast burrito. Lots of choices

I started a competition with one of my friends about who could find the most info about one another online. Problem is I've never really done something like this before. Where are some good places to start or what are some good methods? I'm not trying to get her SSN or anything crazy like that, just slightly more personal information than one would expect.

Did she lie?
Okay so i girl told me she has a boyfriend which i doubt for the following reasons:
- Her FB says she's single
- She doesn't has a single pic with any male
- Her family and her look super catholic, thus probably don't allow her to have a boyfriend yet(She's 18)
- I asked her if she saw her boyfriend in valentine's day, she didn't even answer
- I did invite her to go out sometimes and due to both of us being busy we weren't able to, although she said she would like to
- In Valentine's day, later i told her i was going to gift her something but couldn't, i didn't see her at the uni, she didn't say anything like "Well i have a boyfriend so i wouldn't have been okay to accept it"
Well i think i pressured her too much, she knew i had a crush on her, but i, being an idiot, called her pretty maybe too much and shit that may have felt too compromising and i understand that may have felt too busy to form a relationship now, in weekends i know she leaves to some community aid and so(She's really catholic, which i love)
So the thing is i could wait because i didn't have any interest for 15 months until i met her i got two problems with this.
1.- What if she didn't lie and she really likes or loves her actual boyfriend?
2.- I met a super pretty girl today, she's in a internship at my uni, a german that barely speaks spanish(Mexico) and honestly i got along with her pretty nicely and i want to try something with this girl, but what if the first girl doesn't really have a boyfriend and just didn't want to tell me she's busy all the time and feel bad, because i know she has felt bad that we can't ever go out.
The second girl, i don't have too much interest, is just nice that she's blonde and has that unicorn effect, but i have yet to know her, while the other girls is just perfect, i love everything in her, she makes me a better man, there's not a single thing i don't love in her, maybe the fact that she's busy, but goddammit, she's busy helping people

To put it short, a girl will say that if they're not interested in you, because it's less rude than telling you that directly.

Did she lie?
It doesn't matter... it makes no difference. Point is, she wants you to believe she has one, so drop it. Nothing will be gained by finding out the truth.
>>
>>18126058
If her family doesn't allow her to have a boyfriend of course she won't date him publicly. Anyway, whether she lied or not she clearly doesn't want to date you, so move on.
