From a relationship/dating/sex standpoint... What does it actually mean to "not have a personality" or "be boring?"

are those just phrases people resort to if they don't have anything in common with someone else? Inb4 special snowflake, but no two people are the same, and every single person has SOMETHING about them that makes them unique. Everyone has their own personality and quirks.

Are people just deluded with how "dynamic" a potential SO should be?

It just means the person saying it doesn't "get" you. You're probably introverted, smart, want to talk about deeper things than reality tv and makeup / cars.

This girl in my social circle always said I put her to sleep but she was an alcoholic and on amphetamines all the time, lots of tattoos, no education or interest in the real world.

Not a huge loss to me considering you are a combination of the top 5 people you interact with.

Don't get butt mad about it. And actually, consider yourself lucky. Aim higher my buddy.

i think it depends on what a person is looking for in a relationship. most women my age will find a guy boring if he isnt fun to be around, so essentially they are looking for party type people. i always hear girls saying they want a guy who is up for a laugh and banter. personally i look for someone that is nice, up for doing things and can provide decent conversation.
>>
For me, boring means unpassionate. Not dispassionate, but unpassionate. As in without drive, passion, or motivation. If you're doing things you're passionate and excited for life you aren't boring.

Everyday is a continuing stress enhancer. I go to a community college, where I, for the most part, obtain decent grades (A's and B's), save for College Algebra, which I am failing. Basically, if I go under a 2.5 GPA, I lose my funding and will have to find another way to pay for school. I really, really want to move onto University, but I feel like I'm trying to climb a mountain with my bare hands.

I have a job at Starbucks, which is becoming more and more of a tumor in my brain. It took me awhile to understand and train, and my coworkers never fail to be passive-aggressive pricks about it. I have extensively out forth effort in becoming a better worker, and it, in a sense, has paid off. Many of my overheads have noticed and commented on it, and my hours have increased. But still, I am alienated from my coworker's discussions, and do not feel like a part of their community.

Even as I walk around campus, I notice people looking at me, and when I sit down, they tend to move their seats, or move to another seat. I do not make an effort to bother them, so why do they feel the need to avoid me? I am simply trying to get done what I need to get done.

People even, straight up to my face, joke about how creepy I look, about stuff like my eyes, or my teeth, or my hair. I usually make an effort to laugh it off, but it's becoming an internalized source of bitterness and resentment for them, and just people in general.

I'm starting to notice things such as people having loud conversations, doors shutting, people sniffing as I walk by, teachers going on long tangents, becoming more and more of an annoyance to me. I'm growing, to simply put it, increasingly pissed off at my life. I have friends, but I feel like, due to my work and school schedule, am putting up walls between myself and them, and I'm worried that I'm losing them. I've lost a lot of friends already. I need help on how to take care of these issues. I'd appreciate any advice. Thank You in advance.

Something isn't adding up here.
>>
>>17710674
Ok, so maybe I won't go under 2.5 if i just fail CA, but it still makes me feel like a failure every time i walk into the class. I can't drop it, becauae then I wont have enough hours to continue to receive funding. So I'm stuck going to this class, trying to teach myself, through the book, and when i participate in class, i sound like an absolute moron.

>>17710682
You sound like you know exactly what to do, but you sound like you're having delusions caused by your insecurity.

Guys...
If you meet a woman you can chat with by hours, have interest and hobbies alike and find her attractive, would you consider her as a possible couple or just a good friend? Or you can't really know if you don't date her more?

I'm kind of confused lol. I met a guy who has told me that and we had that "chat forever" vibe. He hasn't been flirting openly with me, but have looked for me ocasionally to go out and chat, kind of twice a month or something like that. He have two jobs and travel a lot, but have told me "it feel like we have met since another life", "we can learn a lot of each other", "you are attractive". We already had sex, but I told him that I'm not going to have sex again with him, and he told me that even he can't deny it's something in his mind, he is more interested in chatting with me, with the inconvenience that we took too much time (two hours are like seconds when we chat). He recently asked me for help about one project in his life and I told him yes, so we will see each other in a few weeks (I can't see him before that), but it's not like he send me messages often or something. Idk.

Oh, I didn't posted in the "ask the opposite gender" because it appears "connection error" like five times before I decided to make a thread.

Not a guy, but it sounds like he's respecting your decision to not have sex but would also definitely date you if given the chance. Your situation sounds a lot like my husband and I when we were first dating.

Also, if you're getting the connection error, it's probably because you're trying to post in the popup window. It seems to have problems, especially if you use adblock. To make it work, copy it from the window and paste it into the form at the top of the thread, and it should work fine.
>>
>>17710624
>the popup window
What do you mean the popup window? Anyway, I pause Adblock and yes, it stop telling me that, thanks!!

And, I didn't understand the part of "date you if given the chance"? I was kind of shocked when I met him bc he is like the kind of guy I would definitely consider and I told him that (I kind of regret that and not, honestly, but it was like a very weird thing to me atm and I couldn't help it). He told me he appreciated my honesty and keep being very respectful. And it was in that moment when he told me he want to know me better and that he find me very interesting, so... it have been like a lot of things said and really little of something done (we have seen each other three times in two months).

I'm not used to a slow pace in flirting, that's why I'm confused.
>>
>>17710624
Well, not dating, but you know what I mean. When we were on the verge of it.

So a couple years ago I was at rock bottom. Borderline homeless; horrible alcoholic. I was scarred by a physically abusive relationship I had finally managed to leave.
The place I was staying at wasn't much better. Everyone was on drugs.
One night I got into a fight with one of them, and I needed somewhere to sleep.
I called my ex; we had been broken up for about 7 months at this point. Sometimes he'd give me a ride somewhere, and we still talked occasionally. I asked if I could crash on the couch. He said yes.
I got piss drunk that night, and fell asleep alone in the living room. When I woke up his fingers were inside of me. I pretended to be asleep.
This very same thing happened again about 3 months later, but this time I confronted him when I woke up to it. He got upset. He told me to just stop talking about it.
Now that I have been sober for a couple months and out of touch with him for over a year those memories have come flooding back. I feel completely violated, and I've had a couple nightmares about it.
Does this qualify as sexual abuse? What's your opinion?
For the record I'm not looking to shame him or anything like that. I don't want to talk to him, and I don't want anyone in my life to know about this.

>Does this qualify as sexual abuse? What's your opinion?
I don't know if I'd call it abuse. But it's almost textbook sexual assault if true.

As a guy I'm not really sure how I'd respond to a similar situation. Like I'm just passed out drunk and wake up with someone jacking me..
>>
>>17710597
Yeah, it's sexual abuse. Just forget it, don't ever contact him ever again. If you really can't get it off your mind, then go to therapy, but as a last ditch effort.

Some guys believe they're entitled to do what they want to women who are in a bad position, were exes, etc. That's just life.

I believe that I am suffering from anxiety related erectile dysfunction. I got out of a 5 year relationship about a year ago and have had a few sexual encounters since. During sex I seem to be worried about staying hard and keeping it up and not being boring that I stress out and lose my boner.

Its hard to explain this to girls that are not my girlfriend and it seems to be a snowball effect that with each failed encounter I stress even more. If I'm fapping alone I can get hard and stay hard no problem. Its when I'm ready to do the deed I get stressed and lose my boner or cant get it up at all.

Do you guys have any tips or advice for this specific issue?

Pretty normal man. I was dating a girl for a month and that helped me engage myself more. What I did was focus on the body, her breathing, and how much I was lusting after her. It also helped that we were building an emotional connection, because that's important for me. That helped make the sex better after every encounter
>>
>>17710602
In addition to focusing on her, you learn to forget about everything else and bring out your animal instinct. Remember. The human body is designed for food and sex, your body will make it work
>>
>>17710602
>>17710605
Also, erections are powered by the parasympathetic nervous system, otherwise known as the unconscious part of the nervous system. The same system that powers your breathing and digestion. Learn to relax and do what I said above and focus on HER. Try not fapping for a while do your body can resensitize to human interaction

I just asked a girl out for drinks and she agreed. Problem is I dunno if she thinks if it's just a hang out or if it's a date. How do I find out subtly? Or do I straight out ask her what she thinks this is?

>>17710591
Don't. Just go, have a drink and you'll know by the end. Be flirty, confident and follow up with another night out in a day or two.
>>
>>17710599
How soon is too soon for a second meet up if all goes well?
>>
>>17710606
It depends on your read of the girl. But following up the next night doesn't sound unreasonable.
>Femanon, I had a great time drinking fruity alcoholic drinks with you last night. It was great to catch up and get to know you better. You better get that vaginal fungus under control before your cooter falls out
Or something, with humorous tone that she can't refuse to not respond to.

I don't think she had a class to go to either. I know her timetable because she sent me one in the beginning of the term
>>
>>17710581
It means she doesn't care to be around someone she had a "thing" for. For whatever million reasons she could have.

Dude, how the fuck are we really supposed to know? You didn't tell us anything about the nature of your "seeing" her. How it ended. Why it ended. If you cared at all.
>>
>>17710584
Well we were the same majors last year, so we took a lot of classes together. She subtly asked me out for valentine's day too, on the weekends leading up to the day

It just naturally ended because I changed my major, we didn't take classes anymore. She seems too busy with all the labs and shit.

Last time I was talking to her on snapchat, told me she could come see her if she wants. But I was already home by then lol. I showed her my timetable and she just stopped responding, idk

Where do we go from here?
This isn't where we intended to be
We had it all
You believed in me, I believed in you
Certainties disappear
What do we do? For our dream to survive?
How do we keep, all our passions alive
As we used to do?

Deep in my heart, I'm concealing
Things that I'm longing to say
Scared to confess, what I'm feeling
Frightened you'll slip away
You must love me, you must love me
You must love me

Why are you at my side?
How can I be, any use to you now?
Give me a chance, and I'll let you see how
Nothing has changed

Deep in my heart, I'm concealing

Yes, focus on eating more fruit and drinking water. Do thirty minutes of exercise for the next week, whether this is running or weightlifting, anything works.

Don't watch porn and don't masturbate. At the end of the week you'll be harder than you've ever been before.

No need to thank me, have fun! :-)

Anons, how do you get over being heartsick? A couple weeks ago something in my head switched and I fell head over heels for a woman Ive known for awhile when she came to visit my friends and I. I even resolved last night after having one of my best runs ever that I'd work on myself even more so that I could be even better for her. Yet, a few days ago, another friend confides in me that they're in a hush-hush relationship with each other. I don't know how to feel or what to do with myself now. They're both my close friends so I have to be happy for them but I hurt so much on the inside. This situation is the story of my life as it's happened three or four times already. I was even the best man for two of their weddings where this situation happened.

I'm so tired of being the odd man out... Help me, adv. Please.

Bump. Anyone?

First, a tip for the future: Try not to get emotionally invested in girls so much before you actually have something going on with them. Do not fantasize about them, imagine a relationship, stalk them on instagram whatever. This will make it less painful when you end up getting rejected. Also, it will prevent you from getting too nervous around them and acting desperate.

Now for the whole "being heartsick" thing.

Personally, I try to socialize with other girls as much as I can. This is what helps me the most and I think a lot of other men feel the same. It helps to get your self confidence back up and makes it easier to forget her.
Other than that you should occupy yourself with other things. Physical activity is usually a good pick, especially because your mind won't as easily switch back to thinking about the girl as it will during non-physical exercise. Of course you have to make sure it's exhausting enough.

I'm sorry I can't give you the secret recipe against heartache, it's always the same advice. Give it time, take the chance to improve yourself, don't sulk on it, hang out with people, etc.
>>
>>17710530
Thank you anon. I appreciate your advice. She's a good friend and I talk to her almost every day so it's very difficult for me not to be emotionally invested. I don't stalk her or do anything creepy except be as good of a friend as I can be but that's not exclusively her since I do that for all my friends... I'm able to cover it up really well when we're talking so she has absolutely no idea how I feel. At all.

Yes, I agree. I've been working out more and eating less because I just don't feel like doing anything else. I don't want to forget her, though. She's a great person and I like being in her life but I want to be more in her life, ya know?

Yup, that's all I can do it seems. Should I ever tell her?

I'm planning on ending a relationship tomorrow. I love her but resent what she's put me through and how she's dealt with certain things.

I kind of don't want to go to the effort of sparing her feelings. Maybe I'd even derive some sort of sick pleasure from making her miserable.

Am I a psychopath? Can I really love her if I feel like this?

>Can you love someone but want them to suffer?
No. They are not opposites, but they are not compatible.
>>
>>17710216
I kind of disagree with the anon above me. I think you can obsess (not love) or be infatuated someone and want them to suffer, but it's unhealthy for you to feel that way. Love and sadism don't mix, but obsession and sadism do.
>>
>>17710232
This sounds sensible, I think you could be right. I already though what I was feeling was unhealthy.

Everyone is so fucking brainwashed. My whole family disowned me because of my belief that money is a systematic form of slavery( which it is). Everyone is so fucking caught up being selfish and brainwashed by electronics, media, and social media. Nobody knows what it means to be human anymore. This society has actually made the cattle enjoy their enslavement meanwhile the other side of the world is on fire, people are burning alive because of our selfish actions here in the first world.

Since when were material objects more important than people? Why are we being rewarded for not thinking outside of the box and continuing to not question this piece of shit RP we all live in? Im saving up BTC to be able to buy land to dip the fuck out of this fake ass society. I just dont know if i might kms before i get there....

you're edgy. read and study history. its always been the same. read will to power and realize that some form of government will always exist.

This society has actually made the cattle enjoy their enslavement meanwhile the other side of the world is on fire, people are burning alive because of our selfish actions here in the first world.

again, this has pretty much always been the case. the only difference now is that people want money to buy the latest i phone rather than because they need to survive.

Since when were material objects more important than people?

since we figured out that if we use people to gather resources it can give a select few people more freedom.

Why are we being rewarded for not thinking outside of the box and continuing to not question this piece of shit RP we all live in?

there are tons of academic people that do this, problem is that they are mostly edgy and extremely liberal like you.

>again, this has pretty much always been the case.
Actually it pretty much always hasnt been the case since modern society is only a couple of hundred years old. Before that point you could live off in the forest in your own private village for many generations without anyone fucking with you.

>Since when were material objects more important than people?
Hurr durr you are a fucking idiot if you think material objects like cars and iphones give you more freedom. Cars reduce your lifespan, cellphones reduce your lifespan and fucking brainwash you.

>there are tons of academic people that do this, problem is that they are mostly edgy and extremely liberal like you.
The academic system is built on the prussian sysem from nazi germany meant to brainwash people into subservient slaves just dumb enough to stamp a time card and not question anything, so you.
