How far should the "just go for it" attitude /strategy go? I've seen this whole "just fucking go for it" all over, and to what extent should it be taken?

I do it for a lot of things, but as any story worth telling, there's a girl. She had a boyfriend, and I've treated her decent, but I just recently got into her.

Her boyfriend was a good friend of mine. He was cool, but he got miserable in the last 8 months of their relationship, and I think they still talk

I want to be with her, but shes going away in 8 months, we can be with eachother again after that. Part of me wants to try and "work my way in" and another wants to tell her I love her and see how she reacts. What is the proper "middle ground" here?

This is always stupid. Is that girl going to be a viable business partner or reference later on it life or is your best friend?

Don't do shit for immediate gratification, especially if it's going to ruin a connection in the process.

need your advice guys


so there's this dude i talk to online very frequently, pretty much every day. he claims he's making over 6k a month working only 2-3 days a week, of which half is at home. so many things about him seem off, such as him sending me pics of shit happening at his office when reverse img search comes up with some fucking tumblr cancer.

now i've met him a couple times in person, and he seems a pretty nice dude although still seems full of shit with possibly a few legitimate claims.

he knows i'm eager to meet a girl and introduced me to two girls he knows. talked a lot with one and she seems nice, don't talk too much with the other. never seen either of the girls in person, only talked online. did see pics however. now i'm suspecting this is all an act of the same guy being some sick fuck, but i can't tell for sure and don't want to risk losing a possible friend.

>all 3 make mostly the same spelling mistakes.
>all 3 seem to have the same opinion on shit and argue about the exact same things.

it could be a coincidence, or it could not be. i'm really not sure. i can't imagine why someone would fuck with me in this manner when there's literally nothing to be gained. the reason for me doubting whether he's full of shit or not is that the pics i got of these girls, both from him and them, seem to be authentic. they're nowhere to be found on the internet, and i think i recognize some stuff in the background on one of the pics. which would resemble the pic has been taken at his home. the girl i talked a lot with had a disease and eventually told me she wanted to meet me only after she got her life back together, which could take years. haven't heard from her since.

any advice to find out if this fucker is in fact pretending to be other people, without straight up confronting him with it in case it's false?


tried to make as good of a summary of it as i could. there's more but this basically sums it all up.

Enough IT or creative jobs for that. Or simply own business.

>pics of shit happening at his office when reverse img search comes up with some fucking tumblr cancer.
Now that's weird, very weird.

>now i've met him a couple times in person
Then it should be pretty easy to confirm most details. Poorfags act and dress and think differently from middle class fags who earn 6k a month. Also you can try chatting to one of the girls while you're with him.

>never seen either of the girls in person, only talked online.
Kinda weird.

>all 3 make mostly the same spelling mistakes.
>all 3 seem to have the same opinion on shit and argue about the exact same things.
Very, VERY weird. Specially the first part. Talk more to them, create certain situations ... sounds like fun detective work.

>when there's literally nothing to be gained.
There are always keks. I know a guy who pretend to be a chick for years online, it wasn't for gain or anything, he just got used to the role.

>the pics i got of these girls, both from him and them
Are they together on some of the pics at least? It should be pretty easy to find fresh pics from random girls.

>girl i talked a lot with had a disease and eventually told me she wanted to meet me only after she got her life back together
Sounds somewhat believable. What about the others?

>Enough IT or creative jobs for that. Or simply own business.
sorry, i forgot to mention that this dude has yet to celebrate his 20th birthday. he does say he works in IT, but even then i find it hard to believe his boss pays him that much for the shit he does. it's vidya related work.

>Then it should be pretty easy to confirm most details. Poorfags act and dress and think differently from middle class fags who earn 6k a month. Also you can try chatting to one of the girls while you're with him.
he does indeed dress like a poorfag and has some old shitty phone. told him to get a better phone but he says he doesn't feel like getting one.

i've seen a bank receipt of his that showed that he got around 10k that month. he told me it was his salary, but i'm starting to believe otherwise. he once got into a pretty serious accident (unless that's bs too) which i think he got a lot of money out of. my thoughts are he just pretends to be a richfag with a good job cause he once got a bunch of money from when that accident happened.

>Very, VERY weird. Specially the first part. Talk more to them, create certain situations ... sounds like fun detective work.
no clue how i could create such situation. any ideas?

>Are they together on some of the pics at least? It should be pretty easy to find fresh pics from random girls.
nope. that's a good one. no clue how i can get a hold of pics with both of them in it though.

What's the easiest way to plot dates out on a full-year, digital calendar?

I'm trying to plan out some trips across all of 2017, and I want to be able to see the whole year at once.

Google calendar doesn't seem to have a "year" view and neither does my calendar phone app.

I don't know. I'd just buy a physical copy. You can write all over it and put it up on a wall for quick reference. We've got one at my job and it's really handy.

>>17805190
only reason I want a digital version is so that I can easily try different things out and then start over with a clean calendar. but thanks anyway, I'll probably just have to improvise something in ms paint or something

If its Strep, get some penicillin asap. If its just sore, gargle with salt and warm water, even better with diluted Apple Cider Vinegar.

Other than that, painkillers, ride it out and don't be a pussy. I can feel a sore throat coming on now, just that time of year I think.

Different anon here.

25 years old. I realized that my actual vocation was medicine too damn late. I have been studying engineering since 2009 and given that I was a poorfag I flunked classes/only took few courses per period.

I finally have economical stability, at least to finish my career in two more years. But Im scared to try a career change at this point in life.

Dont know why I took something I didnt like to begin with. My true padsion is in anatomy. And I dont want to waste all that money I threw away, that my parents threw away (we are all poor)

Is it too late to change careers? What would you do in my situation, finish and then study medicine? I dont want to dissapoint people anymore.

A girl I'be been seeing has told me she's cheated in 4 relationships before me. The most recent one in April. We've been talking for a little over 2 months now, she says "I love you", and I say it back, (although with one eyebrow raised). She comes from an abusive hou should. Her parents cheated on each other and she was always in the middle trying to hide it from the other. She told me that she feels terrible for cheating and that she's learned how badly it affects the other person and that it's better to just be upfront instead of sneak around. The saying Once a cheater always a cheater sticks in my mind although I told her I wouldn't judge her for her past and all that matters is currently what we are doing in our own relationship. She's very insecure, I think she fears being alone, and from what she's told me about her past relationships is at the first sign of trouble or uncertainty she's already looking for the next guy or someone to talk to. I haven't dated in 2 years, I'm on the upswing of my depression and hopefully getting out of it and I'm starting to enjoy my life again. I really enjoy her company and I feel like she is a beneficial person to be around, she's very mature and I relate to her a lot. But am I shooting myself in the foot? Or should I continue on with her and forget about what she did in her own past, people can change.

Damaged goods, just fuck her and look for a real girlfriend.
Avoid emotional or financial commitments with her since it won't last but you can still have fun while it lasts.

This. It's not necessary to say exactly when if you say "earlier" and if you say "in April", you do t have to say "earlier" because you can't have done something forward in time, obviously.

>>17804731
>>17804740
thanks, guys!
totally makes sense. I still don't get why there is a comma before "in april" or "obviously"(in your sentence) tho. would anyone happen to know?

Last night I had a dream that I was strangling a woman because she put her hand on my shoulder (I don't like being touched.) Does this mean I'm possibly a serial killer or have some issues?

Okay so recent experience with trying to flirt has led me to believe that I'm coming on to strong to them. I have yet to get a first date ever.

I always get the feeling they are somewhat intimidated. I'm quite big (1m90) and attracted to girls that are quite a bit smaller than me.

Can i say comforting things that might put their mind at ease a bit. Would adding something like: "no is a perfect answer" to e.g. question about dancing together help?

Also e.g. late at night passing a lone female. Is there ANY way to comfort this girls. I recently saw some truly terrified look when i was just passing on a bike. (And i'm quite sure I'm not that ugly).

Soo question now: Dear /adv/isors any tips. Womens perspective greatly appreciated.

The late-at-night question is easiest to answer. When you see a lone woman walking ahead of you, make some noise to show you aren't sneaking up on her. Cough, whistle, pretend to talk on your phone. In extreme cases, cross over to the other side of the street for a while.
>>
Most women are pretty afraid of strange men. I remember reading a statistic about how what men fear most about a woman is that she will reject them, whilst what women fear most about a guy is that they will be MURDERED by him. Essentially, any girl you approach is on high alert until you make her feel comfortable.
>>
>>17804674
Okay well as a female "no is a perfect answer" IS intimidating. It's a weird mix of insecure and overconfident, to me it says "I know you're going to say no because why wouldn't you, but I'm fucking fine with that!!!!". If you think that it sounds good, I figure you come on too strong in areas too. Try just ~taking it easy~. A good nonthreatening addition would be something that minimizes your own presence and allows her to make a graceful escape, like, "if not that's fine, I really am as bad a dancer as I look." Like if you're looking to come on less strong stop trying to game for half a second

I was lucky enough to get out of that country and move to United States.

I should be happy, I should be grateful and thankful, I should take advantage of what I have but I'm not.

sometimes I feel incredibly alienated.

I thought my feeling of alienation was caused by living in a place full of people who want to kill the 'infidels'.

I thought if I moved here I might feel less alienated.

I do feel more safe and maybe more calm, but I still continue to feel like everyone is living in a distant island, far away from me. And I will never be able to reach them.

I never felt that I belong to Saudi Arabia, but sometimes I feel like I don't belong here either. It's saddens me to see that There so many people here who hate immigrants.

I hate it when they ask me where are you from, I hate that awkward silence and the wired looks they give me when they hear my answer.

I know what they're thinking. Saudi men have one of the worst stereotypes imaginable. And I can't explain to everyone that I'm not a rich Muslim misogynist creep. I can't blame them for thinking that. I can't tell them that it's not my fault that I was born there. I can't tell them how much I hate that country. I can't tell them that I don't believe in the Quran or Muhammad or any religion. I can't tell them that I have no friends in Saudi Arabia, or even here. I just have to accept that people will always assume things about me that are far from the truth.

I feel like I left Saudi Arabia but the stigma and the Saudi stereotype still follow me everywhere I go.

But it's not just about the wired looks, it is about this persistent feeling of being so alone for years.

Why there is so much hate in this world? Why I feel like I don't belong anywhere? Why is it so hard to be happy?

I'm really sorry that you are feeling like this. I live in Chicago and I have a roommate whose from Dubai. He's one of the best persons I have ever met. I'm really sorry that my people are behaving to you like this. I hope you get happy soon in the future. Don't be suicidal in anyway, brother. Hold on.
>>
Don't be a self defeating fuck, you can tell them all of that and more. Once people get to know you they'll see you differently. All that uncomfortableness you feel when you first meet, and those awkward questions are just people trying to find out what you're like. Don't take it personally. Just show them what you're like.

Do/ do not?
If you had a boyfriend would you spend multiple days with a guy that might be interested in you?
I'm pretty sure she understood that I feel something for her, she also gave me the "ur like a brother to me" shit spontaneously out of the blue.

Where did you meet? How or where did you spend days with her? Especially since she has a boyfriend?
