How do you make friends as an adult?
I don't have time to socialize during the weekdays (work, gym, night classes). I don't want to go to a bar every weekend and burn money on alcohol.
Everyone around me seems to have their friend situation sorted out. I recently moved here and I don't know anybody. I tried to reach out to people online (made friends with 2 girls & 1 guy) but they eventually fizzled out.
What do I do, /adv/?
You can try making friends at work, the gym, or your night classes. They won't fall out of the sky. People usually make friends in situations where they're forced to spend time with other people.

Volunteer your time to some local cause or organization that is meaningful for you. You'll meet people with whom you have at least one thing in common, and right off the bat, they'll know that you're not an entirely selfish person. When I moved to a small town, knowing no one, that's what I did. Worked out just fine.
Have you tried fliers?
How many shirts/pants do you guys have? I only have like 6 shorts and 12 shirts and I have to do laundry once every week. Should I buy more clothes?
I'd recommend two weeks worth of clothes. Just grab some bullshit from Goodwill.
>>18683707
Yeah, you need some more clothes, man. Just go to H&M and get some cheap basic shirts in different colors. The pants there are so-so, you're better off going somewhere else and investing in quality pants.
Are you using pants in the British way? What's wrong with doing laundry once per week? I think you have enough clothing.
There is only one person in this world I hate. His name is louie anthony gannon. He is pathetic and low. I have never been able to outwit him because he's so revoltingly slimy that he's willing to stoop to levels devoid of basic human dignity. Through trickery he prevented me from being present to see my own son be born. Now I have more dignity than to try to take revenge. But I cannot ignore the fact that this man is a convicted child sex offender who's intentionally hiding his address from the state in order to be able to live with minors. And that ones under 10 years of age. You can corroborate my story through a simple google search of his name.
nice blog post
did you need advice on something?
More like requesting help. I've run out of will to fight anymore. Really someone should report this to the police. I don't have the heart to do it.
I don't think anybody here can help you.
I'm a straight girlfriend to a boyfriend who wants to become a male stripper. Is this cheating?
>Is it cheating to let middle-aged housewives suck on my boyfriend's dong?
Gee I dunno.
Bait thread.
is he even a little bit excited to be doing it for the female attention? tease him about it instead of getting insecure

It's a gay strip club
I have a problem /adv/
I'm in a 4 year relationship with a girl who means so much to me. But the fact that I ended up with her because I was lonely and single for 22 years makes me think I was just doing it to cope with that loneliness.
But fast forward to now, I'm living with her in her home state, her parents really like me and expect us to get engaged any day now, and there's no signs that anything is going bad that either of us have expressed to anyone.
Now here's where the problem comes in.
I've made probably the best friend I think I've ever made the last few months from work. She's a girl and we spend almost every day together when we're working and we have the best time of our lives and, and she knows that I have a girlfriend.
My girlfriend know about her and how close of friends we are, but I'm positive that I feel more than friends and actually love her. And back at home there are days when I just feel like I don't love my girlfriend anymore, and we fight about the stupidest of things. I just realize we don't have as many interests as I originally thought we did. I don't know what to do right now.
I know my girlfriend is also the type of person who will NOT take any hint of breakup well, even go as far as to be near suicidal at the thought of us not being together. and I'm the kind of person who isn't capable of hurting anyone or causing them distress.
I just don't know what to do here. Sometimes I wish I could go back to before I ended up with her and stop this whole thing in it tracks preemptively, but I can't and now I'm stuck here.
love the one you're with
>>18683643
Two problems.
1. Will you be upset if you don't get the other girl?
2. How did you feel initially while you were in your relationship.
Also how old are you OP?
>>18683721
1.) I'm already upset that I'm not with her now.
2.)I felt happy that because I felt wanted, I've only had rejection in my life initially and having someone who wanted me felt like bliss.
And I'm 26
How does one meet gfs when >Not in school >Social circle is just a couple of people
Like is it even possible when at least one of these two circumstances are not met? Or do I just have to accept my fate?
Please do not reply if you've never been in this situation or known anyone in this situation.
>>18683641
I'm in the same sort of situation as you. Pretty much all you can do is either hit on women "on the street" as it were, or online dating. Both are pretty shitty. Personally, I think it's time for me to give up, but hopefully you'll have better luck than me. Godspeed.
>>18683641
If there are no girls where you are, you go where they are.
Enlarge your circle of acquaintances of all genders. Join a club. Join a gym. Take a class. Do volunteer work. The more places you go that involve being around people, the more people you will meet. And some of them may be female-type people.
>>18683641
You smoke and drink gazing out of the windows like everyone else dude.
I fucked up, I'm trapped in some real shit.
I'm just 19 years old but I live with my girlfriend because we could, we've been dating for three years or so but now I need to break up.
I love her, but she is ill in the head and I can't stand it anymore. The imaginary problems she creates on her head (for example, once she thought I was cheating on her because a friend told me she likes me) are taking its toll on my mental health.
Two days ago, while I was staying with my dad, my mother in law found her with a knife in her hand and had to take her to a clinic to sedate her. After the fact, she basically said that she isn't fit for living and the only reason she hasn't killed herself yet is me.
I need to break up, this shit is starting to affect in my academic life, and to be honest if I had to choose between my career and my relationship I'd choose my career without even thinking about it.
I advice to what to do, I need to break up with her but shit, she may fucking kill herself.
Right now the relationship is no good for any of us, she needs to grow as a person, learn to bee less dependent while I need peace so I can focus on my studies, but as I care a lot about her I can't just cut her.
Fuck me, what have I gotten into.
>>18683635
You have been living with her since you were 16, I think that's half of the problem, you were not prepared for that, way too immature to take that step.
Look, weirdly as it sounds I had a friend with a REALLLY similar situation as you, but her girlfriend did kill herself.
She needs help, professional help. If she is blackmailing you to keep you close, staying too much time won't change a shit. Tell her you need time and that it hurts you see her like that.
Take her to a good doc and little by little stay far from her. You could also ask the psychologist/psychiatrist if there is any risk in breaking up with her now. He will probably tell you to do it, but ask anyway

abort mission and abandon ship immediately
dont waste any more of your life, anon. she cannot be helped by anyone but herself
First off, involve as many medical professionals as possible. Seek therapy sessions together if you're worried about your conscience..
Second, start thinking about how you're going to break up with her. My advice to you would be to tell her that for both of your health, you guys have to wind down your relationship and eventually you'll have to separate. You don't have to do it cold turkey, but you both have to start taking steps to letting the relationship die.
I got a feeling that breaking up with her won't be easy for you either, and that you're probably more codependent than you let on. You're probably more stable, so you have to take charge of the situation. You have to keep these facts, that your relationship isn't good for either of you, in mind at all times. And be prepared to take several years to feel fully healed, even when you guys aren't together anymore.
And if she does kill herself, it's not on you brother, you're too young to have been able to stopped it. In ten years you'll be so fucking skilled at dealing with things like this, but it might've turned out that she in ten years would still be looking for this kind of toxic relationship.
>be me
>been talking to this girl for few weeks
>ask her out, she says yes
>she starts conversations, shes flirty and talkative
>make a move
>"not on the first date anon"
Why do girls do this? What should I do next?
>>18683578
>Why do girls do this?
Because guys think girls are whores or pump and dump if they're 'too easy'

Do i need a prescription for that?

I'm kinda lost, I've been contemplating suicide for the past few years and during the last few months i started to mekae plans.
What I'm looking for is a method that guarantees death up to qt least 90% since I'm not looking to fail and having to explain.
Firearms are extremely hard to acquire where I live so don't suggest those please
Thank you in advance
Don't commit suicide anon! I don't know what your situation is, but you don't have to end your life.
Btw you could leave your car on in the garage and the carbon monoxide kill you. I've heard that it is a guaranteed painless death.
>>18683536
Don't take your life, have some fruit and exercise.

The only guaranteed foolproof road to death:
Old Age.
What's the best way to make some friends? I've been at my school for a year and I don't have have a single person to talk to. I joined a cyber security club, and while I like it, I've had no interaction with anyone in it because it's kinda just an extra lecture I have to attend. Any tips for making friends in some of my classes(all are large auditoriums), have any club recommendations, or tips? I kinda just want to have someone to talk to and meeting a qt would make me pretty happy.
>>18683495
Anime club? Joking unless you're actually considering that. It works. Sometimes. You just get a. Bunch of yaoi crazy fangirls in most cases. Try to make friends with not only the 3.14s. Believe it or not, everyone wants to have a friend. Most are willing if you're civil and look okay. Use deodorant, shave, and dress decently. You're gonna get friends and maybe a decent qt from that. Good luck, anon!
Try starting a conversation with people you consider similar to you, however this works better at workplace/school.
>>18683515
Yeah, I already do all of that, and I don't even think I'm too bad socially. The problem for me is how to first get into initial contact with people at all and getting the person to stick. For example in my classes I will initiate conversation with some asking some general questions about the course and such and it goes fine, but then the class finishes we both walk out and never see/talk to each other again due to huge class size.
I was removing my contact, and I accidentally moved a nerve. Should I see a doctor?
>>18683443
>moved a nerve
Huh?
>>18683478
In my eye
>>18683566
How did you come to that conclusion?
My phone died and I hooked it up to a charger, but when I turned it back on, it shut off immediately. I did that a few times, now it wont turn on at all. I tried holding down the home screen and the side button, but it did nothing. Pic related is the only screen that comes up. What do?
>>18683321
that screen means the battery is dead and it's charging
>>18683328
It's been that way for an hour.
If I have to get a new phone, how do I get back my photos and notes? Do they do it at the store? I dont use I tunes so that wont do shit.
I'm 19, if it counts. I was diagnosed a few weeks back, when I had been diagnosed during a routine checkup. It's spread to my brain already. I'm pretty calm about dying, but I only regret leaving my parents behind. (I'm an only child as well.) It hurts me to see them so sad, their child deteriorating before their eyes. What should I do with my things? And what should I do to help my parents cope with things? My medical bills are pretty hefty, and I want to relieve some of that burden from them. Thanks, /adv/.
>>18683280
Wew. I think this thread topic is too heavy for most people on this board.
>What should I do with my things?
Does it matter?
>And what should I do to help my parents cope with things?
There's probably nothing you can do, just let them be there. Try making another memory for them to remember you by. There's no solution that'll make it easier for them or for you.
Do you have Jesus?

Smoker?
- She once said that in middle school she thought she was a boy cause she found girls attractive. But then realized she didn't and liked boys instead.
- She's always been interested in guys since, she had a few crushes, even dated myself for a while, and she plays otome games hitting on boys and has 2d husbandos.
- While we were together she was also acting very prude and was scared of intimacy.
- Now on twitter she keeps retweeting and liking hentai images of hot girls with big boobs. Never hot guys.
Given this information, do you think that she is a closet lesbian? Could it be that she is romantically attracted by guys but sexually by girls? Or is it normal for girls to like images of half naked girls?
bump. Feel free to ask for any extra info
you two sound underaged
>>18683358
we both aren't but we are underaged mentally for some reason. When we dated we were very awkward and even holding hands seemed like a big deal
