I could say sorry for a lifetime, an eternity, infinite. But I have corrupted an image of myself to you. I have giving you unneccary pain out of attempting to form a deeper connection with you.

OP don't be so melodramatic. You sound like me when I was 14
>>17530272
OP don't be so melodramatic.
Whatever you did can be fixed if you work hard for it. Probably.
Just tell me what happened and I will say if it's fixable or not.
she's not perfect for you if the feelings aren't reciprocated
if she doesn't like you then it's not gonna happen and that's fine because someone will like you and you'll move on
How do I deal with people trying to encourage me to embrace mediocrity?
My sister, for example. She cussed me out for trying to get straight As and aiming to do a PhD in a STEM field.
I try my best to ignore them but it's getting harder and harder.
>>17530248
That's really vague. Are you sure you're not being an asshole and bragging about it?
>>17530248
Some people just want to see others fail because otherwise it exposes their inadequacies.
>>17530256
Not at all, I think. I've actually had my fair share of challenges. I almost got kicked out of school on my first try because my grades were so low, I just called it quits because I needed to figure some things out.
Anyway, on my sister's part, I think it might be that she doesn't want anyone to be more successful than her. One time a few years ago when were younger she assaulted me for doing chores better than her.

My name is Edward Douglas, Sr. I'm a banker. A suit. When I got into this business, it was face-to-face and hand-to-hand combat, day in, day out. It still is, but only if you're lucky.

Why do people think I'm strange for not being interested in sex at all? Everyone gives the same incredulous stare and says that I just haven't met the right girl or that I'd like it if I tried it, but it's just not something that I'd want or need during my life.
If you want to be with like minded individuals you could always join the clergy.

My neighbors two doors down have a daughter about my age. I've never talked to her, only caught her watching me as I go back and forth to my car. She's cute as fuck and I wanna hit that shit. How do I do it?
talk to her.
>>17530320
Wait you lost me
Maybe start by waving when you see her looking, and from there start talking to her.
It's not that hard, even if it is awkward at first, with time it will get more natural as you get to know more about each other.
If someone masturbates 3 times a day, if all of a sudden they go a week without it. Will that fuck up their hormone balance? Would that make someone feel sick?
the jerking off three times a day is probably hurting your hormone levels more than not jerking off would

You know she's going to get fat as fuck in about 5 years right?
I failed out of college on my first try and now I'm going to community college and getting ready to transfer in to a new school, hopefully in January.
I've done a lot of soul searching and I'm pretty sure my original major (Physics) is the right thing for me but people keep telling me I'm only in STEM for the money and assume I don't actually like it. What should I do to get them to shut up?
>>17530060
Nothing. People like talking. They'll never shut up, so just do what you want
>>17530062
Some of this is getting in the way of things, though, like my advisors are constantly going off of the "I guess you can make good money in that" thing even though I want to go on to do a PhD, postdocs, and land a research job even though I'll make less there than I will doing other things.
I'm hoping the issue will clear up when I switch to a real school and have actual scientists as advisors and not some random community college school/career advisor.
>>17530074
>even though I want to go on to do a PhD, postdocs, and land a research job even though I'll make less there than I will doing other things
Have you tried explaining them that? "Actually I'd be more interested in doing xyz, do you have any advice on that?"
Relationship/dating/sex related
>22 M with 21 F GF, both in univerisity in europe
>2 yrs dating, commited/transparant about everything, 10/10 best relationship either of us has had, marraige had been a lingering thought at times
>I flunked school and needed to move back to the USA to start different education path (parents influence and decision to make me go)
>We both wanted to stay together but realised it might make us resent each other in an LDR
>talked things over and we both agreed that we want to stay best friends and pursue each other in the long term once we finish our education (be it 1 to 2 yrs)
>we are single but don't broadcast this on facebook, we've agreed that this period of time is a 'break'.
>we both said we did not want to actively pursue other people/relationships/hookups etc (if someone were to ask us our relationship status we said we would say 'we are seeing someone')
So now it's been about a month or so, we've maintained the same kind of contact through social media, still calling each other by pet-names and still talking about everything with each other, even sexting/skyping and still telling each other how much we love and miss each other.
To my dismay I have also discovered she has also made an account on OkCupid, today. (which i presume was made in the last couple days)
The discovery was initially alarming but in some ways comforting (mostly alarming)
>listed as looking for single men, 20-26, for friendship or short term relationship
>wants the next relationship to be around 6 months to a year (this is the lowest option next to 1 night stand option)
>regardless of current circumstances finds sex more important than relationship
>says shes not into 1 night stands
>sex possible on first date but usually 1-3 dates
>would you consider having an open relationship? answer was no
>opening statement in bio is "just here to browse and take a look"
Theres more but this is the jist of it.
I don't know what to do or how to deal with this.
>>17530039
OP here again.
The main problem i have with this is that I asked her to be completely transparent with me through this time that we are away and we agreed on this, and this exact behavior is going directly against that.
I made a fake account and matched with her in order to discover this out. I sent her a message and she responded with a normal greeting, but is asleep for the night so i havent gotten anything back.
I feel bad for baiting her like this, but at the same time I feel like she is playing games with me and it's extremely unfair for her to reserve the "safety net of boyfriend who is away and i know he's not fooling around with others because we agreed not to", to test out other people while we are away.
I would rather her be honest with me and say that shes interested in meeting others and maybe we could decide on an open relationship.
I dont blame her for being curious as the loneliness and anxiety is real but this is a low blow.
I don't know when or how i'll confront her about this.
She's prob doubting that your pseudo long distance relationship will work and wants to test out how desirable she is.
Also making a fake account to spy on her is kind of psycho, I respect that and I'd prob do the same, but absolutely don't mention you found her account.
>>17530039
>bitch is a liar
>you value transparency
Clearly it won't go anywhere, drop her.
I made up a story about my gf being pregnant when she really isn't and that's she's having an abortion so i can have a week off work without them questioning it much because I've already used up all my holiday time.
How do i sell the story that my gf just found out she's preggers and we're gonna have an abortion
I really need to sell the story
How about you man up and go to work.
>>17530049
I need a break, it's just for a week
>>17530061
why
There's this shy girl that is in my ROTC, and she's been around me quite a lot. Now, I'm a rather timid person myself (not a sperg, just don't speak much) and I hang out with a very outgoing fit guy who has all the girls talking to him. This said shy girl shoots glances at me quite a lot, and I've just kind of been ignoring her in fear of trying to look like a clingy nerd. She constantly asks to tag along with my group of friends and even invited us to her pool tomorrow. She also complains about this upperclassman trying to show her his car and trying to hangout and they made fun of him. She even hugged myself and my friend goodbye yesterday.
What the fuck do I do? I fear I'm actually falling for her and I have no idea if she actually has interest in me, and I fear it's way too early to even ask her. I'm not normally this shaken by things like this but she's driving my emotions mad for some reason.
>hugged goodbye
>invited to her pool
Yeah ask her out anon.
>>17530139
I know these are huge, but I feel like it's my friend who makes this happen. I've always been with him when she's around, but he does have a gf and everyone knows that. I've been rejected three times so I'm just very wary.
Bump again..
I have a hard time meeting other people, in particular women. I'm only interested in friends with whom I share at least one or two common interests.
Online dating has been difficult as of late. Back in 2010, when I first discovered OkCupid, it wasn't popular. Most of the women were unique, quirky or otherwise possessed a personality trait that hindered their search for romantic companionship.
Now everyone with two X chromosomes has joined the website. Most of them are SJW's. I'm more of a second wave feminist with libertarian political beliefs. I also prefer to message back and forth with potential partners for a few days, maybe a week, before we meet. The latter was more acceptable six years ago when users were suspicious of each other. Memories of the Craigslist Killer were fresh. I don't want to waste my time with someone who isn't right for me. Hence, I prefer detailed messages and possibly emailing to make sure I'm comfortable with the other person.
Here's my profile: https://www.okcupid.com/profile/SgtTecCom
What should I do to improve my chances of meeting a women who isn't an aspiring housewife or Kathleen Hanna wannabe? Also, where should a 27 year old go to meet women offline besides bars?
I can't see your profile since I don't have one.
But besides bars there's plenty of locations, but if you're planning on meeting them during night time then the list gets much smaller, maybe nightclubs, restaurants, dark back alleys, idk.
>>17530012
I'm a night-time/weekend afternoon person. Coffee shops seemed like a good place once, but most of their patrons are otherwise engaged in study. It'd be impolite to bother them.

Your pictures suck. Get one of you not looking grumpy and lethargic.
I'm starting to feel a lot of resentment and anger towards white people, I'm a soft heart and gentle soul so being treated like a monster just because of how I look is starting to really get to me. Everyone thinks it's all fun and games because of the bbc meme and all that but I just want to be treated like a normal human being. On top of that the more my grandparents tell me of our history the more enraged I become, I understand the sins of the father shouldn't mean prosecution of the son, but lately just seeing a white person incites feelings of resentment for the way I've been treated and continue to be. However I recognize this thinking isn't helpful to anyone, how do I curb it?
>>17529963

Be grateful. No one is oppressing you.

One problem, i'm not very attractive at fucking all but she's gorgeous and her personality is amazing she is so sweet and caring and it drives me crazy what do i do?
should i tell her up front my feeling and possibly get rekt or just continue on in life.
Fuck i'm conflicted.
Pic related as i do talk to her from time too time on FB.

You can try. If she doesn't reject you, work on your looks.

I mean why not fuck it can't break what's already shattered kek
I should try trimming the good ol' hair get a more better haircut and shave off this "beard"
Help increase sex drive as a female? I've been with my boyfriend for 2 years now. And things are pretty stressful with work and college, money, etc. I hate where im living and his place has no privacy. Lately I just haven't been wanting it. Im not sexting with him anymore, not making suggestive flirty remarks. He's been really understanding but really wants me to work on it. It's not possible to drop my work load or change places. How do I increase sex drive?
>>17529923
Just make an effort even when you don't feel like it
Start fooling around and you'll probably get wet and be in the mood soon enough
>>17529933
>>17529933
I usually try that, but it doesn't fix the inbetween. I miss the feeling overcoming me, instead of having to force the thought that I should probably do this now.
>>17529944
That's how it is in long term relationships most of the time
The "spark" from before fades because of neurochemicals and shit and if the couple want to stay together they have to actively work at wanting each other
That's why people split
