Well, all of the above gets different types of women. Each will want you for different things, but I find the best way to find a girl you actually care about is to have ambition and life goals. As a wise man once said "a woman is the sail to mans boat", so I believe in my heart of hearts that doing things to get women doesn't make you shallow. It just gives you an area to shoot for. Pick your poison OP and whatever you do, stick with it, and you'll get there.

Just cherish the time you had. No shame in acknowledging you are on different paths in life because she must know too. Why not keep sending a card every now nd then and see where it will lead.

definitely look into your old messages with her to find some ideas of what she might like. if she doesnt get you a present this year then feel free to just get her a card next year.

I'd get a gift that reflects your current friendship. If you don't talk much, don't get anything big. if you're worried she might not like your gift, it means you value that friendship enough to get a better gift.

i haven't spoken to my "best friend" in years. I grew up next door to the guy and if I lived to be 130 and someone asked me who my best friend was, I'd say "anon". Even though i hadn't spoken to him in 110 years. Gifts reflect present sentiment. Not past emotions.

STEM. Unless you like gambling, as non-STEM degrees are a massive gamble.

>>17740419
Any stem jobs that let me talk to a lot of people and make decent momey?

Listen, I'm now working as an Accounts Manager at a pretty big television and radio broadcasting media company in Canada. Marketing, Advertising, anything around that area might be good for you. Try a business degree actually. I didn't go to university but I worked super hard to get where I am and I've been loving it for the past 3 years. And it's looking like things will be getting even better for me soon, so just work hard and meet a lot of new people. Make business cards early. You'll want people to be able to contact you.

Well for starters, stop being a dumb bitch and eat like a normal human at the table with the cool kids. Fuck people are so fucked these days, either that or go and hide in a closet and never come oUT you hermit

>>17740352
Jesus, I've read so many stories about you losers on 4chan going to the toilet to eat.
Wouldn't it look even more autistic walking there than just sitting alone and finishing your lunch?

For starters, your degree.

don't smoke weed

it's bad for your health.

Just stop

you can just play video games instead

It's not bad for your health but if it doesn't do you any good why continue doing it?

>>17740282
Tried this route. Got shit on for doing nothing but gaming. Stop gaming as much, started smoking and having a social life. All is well until people start saying all I do is be social and smoke. Now, I get shit for doing either. Fact is, you're never good enough unless you're Donald Trump.

>>17740272
I'm in the same boat as you, OP. Currently studying computer engineering and have recently started seeing a therapist for my depression

If you want money, you need skills.
If you want skills, you need education.
Think about what interests you or what you're already kind of good at, and go into that. Don't be afraid to consider things like plumbing, electricians, carpentry, etc because nobody goes into those fields anymore because LE 4 YEAR DEGREE MEME XDDDD and they pay really fucking well as a result. REALLY well.

>I also want to learn Korean, how hard will it be to learn this on my own?
Very difficult. There are very few resources to learn Korean online, and you'll have limited feedback on your grammar and pronunciation.
Using Rosetta Stone, Pimsleur, and picking up a copy of Integrated Korean: Beginning 1 will be a good place to start though.
The two hardest parts of Korean are learning to read their writing system rapidly, and getting used to a SOV word order.

In no particular order:

Spend your money on your education, or save it for now, until you have more direction in life.

At 19, you still have to figure out what kind of an adult you will become- this will come about through mostly difficult experiences. Accept that. Growing up is hard.

Playing games is fun- I am a ship's captain, and we have decent consoles and PC's set up for gaming. I'm in my 40's, the chief engineer is 53, and ages range down to 22 from there. We all play- but we work first, and that's an important distinction. When playing games takes time away or distracts you from meaningful pursuits, it's a REAL problem.
"That 'living their lives' thing- in my 20's, I was pumping gas, working as a commercial fisherman and going to university. I lost most of that time, and my friends were living it up. 20 years later, they're paying for all that time they weren't busting their ass. You can choose to pay your dues now or later, but they will be paid, and there's interest to consider.
I told a guy in another thread that the best way to succeed in life is to work hard and build your life into something that you can be proud of, and surround yourself with only people who love you- that means family and just a few very close friends.
Develop your mind and spirit- pay attention to matters of faith and developing your intellect. Never work less than 60-90 hours a week unless you need to slow down for vacations or something of greater value than cash, which does not include your leisure time.
Marriage is a greater challenge than any of these things. There's also the potential for greater reward. In building yourself and your life into something greater, you'll also learn how to be a better person, hopefully, and that will help in marriage, too. Dynamic people attract like-minded people, OP. Remember that. Success breeds confidence, and women respond to that too. Not just in terms of work, either. Be a wonderful person.

do duolingo

I speak Polish and Russian conversationally (fluent-ish but I still trip over my words sometimes), can read and write them somewhat better, and I've studied most of the languages you mentioned. I feel pretty confident in telling you that unless you're going to have daily forced exposure to the language (e.g. French-speaking girlfriend who doesn't want to speak English, you're actually going to be living in the country in question, etc) then THE MOST IMPORTANT THING is to pick a language that's tied to a culture you're actually interested in, so you'll have easily-accessible and INTERESTING materials to learn off of. I don't mean textbooks and tapes, understand -- I mean movies, TV shows, games, comics, books, and so on, because material aimed at learners will only take you so far.

Russians don't really dub many movies, for instance, their dubs are of terrible quality when they do -- their TV is pretty bad and there isn't much of a Russian comics industry, which pretty much leaves you with novels, which are hard for beginners. That made the whole thing about ten times harder. Are you interested in French comics or Spanish telenovelas? Then pick one of those languages. Japanese is the "hardest" of the languages you named but you can't move online without tripping over Japanese-language media so I might honestly give you the best odds of learning that, if you're going to be studying on your own.

Esperanto isn't remotely useful but it's dead easy and has a very dedicated and helpful online community so you could probably get to the point of being comfortable chatting online in it in a matter of months, and it might prime you to pick up a third language more easily. Your choice.

Not OP, but I'm also interested in learning languages. I speak English, Chinese, Cantonese, and intermediate Spanish and Japanese.

Does anyone know how to make a career out of this, if at all possible?

help please :(

>>17740256
What kind of help do you want?

>>17740256
Contact professor/teacher. Say partner has dropped out. Ask for new partner or alternative assignment you can do solo.

Sort out your love life on your own, or put it on hold until life gets simpler.

While trying to get hold of prospective employer, start looking elsewhere as well.

Be kinder to your phones.

You have to be 18 to post on this site.

Glaube ich: "lel was fur? Was machst du anon? Ich bin heiratet and du ist hesslich. Halt hammerzeit. "

no, i'm 23 and not doing school anymore

>>17740173
Everyone farts dude, especially when exercising. You probably never have to see those people again unless you want to. And remember, time heals all wounds.

>>17740173
Think of it like this, how many embarrassing things do you remember about other people?

>>17740173
Do you remember anyone in your life farting?
No?
They won't either.

Everyone dies sometime

>>17740165
yeah

So close. And you fucking blew it.

>>17740159
you probably put it on the wrong way around.

the reservoir should already be sticking out the"correct" way but it's not always the case. it takes a lot longer to explain it than to learn it, but I suggest you go grab a couple of condoms and try to put them on in both ways. You'll know the difference.

And it's not like once you've learned you won't make that mistake again. Espacially when you're dtunk/horny as fuck.

>>17740159

just buy some condoms and practice puting it on dumbass

didn't read your blog. came for the pic. that's a very nice pic OP. hope your problem gets solved or something ok bye.

>>17740113

tl:dr, e.g. your bf is a girl and post tits

>>17740113
it's called closure, it's what happens when a person wants to tell you in a polite way that they don't want to have anything more to do with you.

>>17740099
I think you need to fuck off with your shitty bait thread you fucking idiot. If a guy gets HIV he should honesty just commit himself to a lonely life and fuck off. But if a girl gets HIV she should be allowed to live her life as if she doesnt and infect anyone she wants, because girls cannot be alone like guys are. So what if other people get infected by her? The guys will have a good time fucking her and its probably worth the hIV. So you just keep your mouth shut and fuck off.

>>17740110
anon go to bed.

>>17740099
She shouldn't be working in a tattoo shop if she's sloppy enough to have passed a (possibly) deadly infection onto others already and shouldn't be trusted.
You did the right thing, if you're in the USA you can actually sue her for knowingly spreading an STD and the courts can seize her medical records to prove it. The mental distress and suffering of such a serious disease is something that deserves compensation.
It's a matter of public health and safety, thank God for people like you who give a fuck and actively try not to spread infectious diseases further.

You just got the best news ever.

>Hey anon, you know that career you've been dying for? I'm not going to be here to suck it's worth dry, so enjoy. :D

>>17740097

Put things in perspective and focus on what's important. You weren't going to be for her for the next 6 years anyway.

>>17740097
Use the fact that she cares so little about you, that she decides to drop this bombshell on you right now of all times, as a crutch to get you through that interview.
