Alright /adv/, I need some advice. I'll start at the beginning.
A few years ago, I became best friends with this girl in school. We never hung out outside of school because I never had time (I ended up having to fill my mothers role and take care of the senpai). I liked this girl a lot and she liked me, though we never talked about it to each other. I didn't want to bring it up because she was a year and a half younger than me and I hadn't turned 18 yet. I didn't feel right about it. I ended up just moving on, for her sake, though we remained friends. Well, the school year ended and we ceased contact for a couple of years.
I ended up moving two hours away after being homeless for half a year. Then on my birthday a couple of months ago, she messages me out of the blue. Happy birthday and all that jazz, one thing leads to another and we start talking about what had been going on in our lives. She tells me she has a boyfriend who moved away and only texts her once a week, though she's been more prone to begging for his attention due to this, though she doesn't want to seem clingy. Couple of days later, she tells me she wishes we hadn't grown apart cause we could have still been best friends. Says she wants to get an apartment together. I'm all down and excited for this, though it would take some preparing.
All the sudden we are texting almost everyday for like a month and a half straight. I guess, just becoming best friends again? Maybe not.
She's always sending me selfies, talking about what she's up to, just talking about things in general, and all this time I want to tell her about how much I care about her and miss her, though I refrain because of her bf troubles and that we havent seen each other in a year or two.

Well, we talk a lot and nothing out of the ordinary happens but my feelings are growing hardcore ( this girl is perfect. Smart, funny, beautiful, and the most amazing personality ive ever seen in a girl). Fast forward to Wednesday, I tell her I'm going into cities till the weekend and wonder if she wants to hang out. She tells me sadly she has no days off. I suggest maybe after work. She doesn't respond and then changes the subject a couple hours later. Well, I leave to the cities and text her, but she doesn't reply. Thats fine, nothing out of the ordinary, these things happen. But now its Saturday. She hasn't even read my messages since the day I left, though I know she's been around. Ive been completely ghosted and I'm devastated. To make matters worse, I'm at a family get together just hiding around cause I'm upset and don't want to bring others down. Am I over thinking this? Or could something else be going on?
Inb4 op is fat and ugly.
I'm actually very attractive and quite romantic. Girls used to offer sex to me though ive declined and cut them from my life. I just want to know if maybe I did something wrong. I need a second opinion.

Jane, an instructor, has an ongoing relationship with John, one of her former students. John doesn't object to the relationship and often praises Jane's teaching style in front of other students and employees. Is there any sexual harassment occurring?

So you're saying that two current employees are engaged in a relationship without advising HR?

This isn't sexual harassment, but it's leading right up to a disciplinary hearing.
>>
Based on what you stated, no.
Problem is, you hardly stated anything

Yeah, I'm completing sexual harassment training. I don't understand what's going on either. I was hoping someone knew the law regarding this exact situation.

>>17481292
Assuming they didn't notify HR is this grounds for sexual harassment or does it fall under something else?

This guy is a pussy who has a loser's mentality. Don't listen to him.

Prepare for a bunch of rejections, but remember that they don't matter. If you keep doing it you'll get better at it, but not if you let yourself be disheartened by a failure or if you're going to give up just because you're scared or you fear looking like an idiot.

And try to have fun before everything. You most likely won't the first time, but you will grow to enjoy it once the anxiety is gone.

I'm not a guy, I'm a girl. We can tell when a guy doesn't know what he's doing, and it's really not attractive.

>>17481298
yes, you can and that's why I said he'll be rejected a lot at first. But how else do you expect him to learn what to do if he never tries?

ITT: Relationship advice

I'll start ...
>fresh girlfriend went on vacation
>she "can't be free in other places if someone is waiting for her"

Should I be persistent and talk to her when she's back?
It all went really well and we were building up a good relationship on all levels with its peak right before her journey.

She's fucking some one else or getting gangbanged
You know this is true dump her
>>
>>17481250

Sounds to me like she wants to slut it up while abroad. If you don't choose to dump her, you'll have to communicate and let her know that it means you'll be free to do similar while at home.
>>
>>17481250
What does that mean? That she broke up with you so she can fuck around if she wants to while she's on vacation?

Sounds a lot like she's not ready to be in a committed relationship. If that's ok with you, I don't see what the problem is. If it's not ok with you, I don't see why you need advice about this unless you're just a desperate wuss.

Whether she fucks someone or not, sure, you could have a talk about expectations and what the two of you want, but she already seems pretty aware that she's not ready for a committed relationship.

Hey all, I needed some help on a build. The catch is I am on a budget. I am about to start attending college and wanted to build a rig that can play games at least 30fps on High. If anyone can help guide me along with choices or what I should set my budget as, that would be great.

>School laptop is for school related things so the rig is strictly for gaming and media purposes like Netflix etc etc
>Games played will be things like Skyrim, Street Fighter 5, and emulators. No FPS.

This, but the closer to sundown, the better. after 8 on a Friday/Saturday night and most people will start ramping up their bar crawl game.

Why is it that the only girls that like me are always in relationships?

Out of the few girls that have liked me the past few years, they always have a man.

Why is this?

Is it because there is no such thing as a single girl? They just jump from one guy to the next?

Even if I could get a girl, I would be terrified of her cheating just from knowing the numerous opportunities I've had with committed women.

Please tell me it's not this way.

i thought orbiters didn't get sex offers

I'm currently in high school, but I'm labeled a social pariah because my interests don't align with my class's. I'm considered by many adults, including my therapist to be very mature for my age in terms of emotional intelligence and general interests (reading, writing, debate, and political theory. It sounds condescending to approach my fellow peers like this, but it's exhausting to try to start a conversation about books when very few people in my grade read or write for pleasure. It's been extremely lonely for these last few years and I don't know what to do anymore. I'm getting more and more depressed as the year starts. Any advice is all appreciated.

>Met girl through mutual friend
>Friend says she's really into me
>"She wanted me to give you her number"
>Been texting her every few days
>She's really nice, but boring as shit
>Pic related. Those replies sum up her whole conversational skills
>She initiates conversations fairly often, but it's always "What's up?" and expecting me to lead the conversation every time. It gets boring fast
>She's interesting when I can get her to talk, but she never really talks about herself or anything. She just answers questions and then adds nothing to it. My friend says she's nervous and a shitty texter in general


>Is there any way to get her out of her texting shell? Is there any subtle way to let her know I'm tired of leading the conversations without making it sound like I'm losing interest?

In pic related - what is she even supposed to say when you're talking about some shit she's never heard of?
>>
>>17481056
Hang out with her in person.

Either:
A) she is truly a boring person in general and you shouldnt waste your time

B) she is simply shy, in which getting to know her in person would alleviate and then hopefully she'll be more jovial


But ultimately a relationship can't be mostly texting.
>>
Maybe talk to her in person as if you're both human beings.

Should I be a bartender? For the last year I've been working shitty labor jobs at factories and warehouses through a staffing agency. I found out my local college has a three month bartending program and there are a lot of bars and clubs in my area. I'm an introvert but I love the fact that it sort of forces me to become social. Is it worth it? How much does it usually pay?

I worked in a restaurant, well 2, but over 3 years.
Pros
>forced to be social
>busy days pay well
>get to drink on the job
>talk to qts
>usually free food
>bartenders dictate speed of restaurant

Cons
>long hours
>late closings
>slow days make less than minimum wage
>have to entertain annoying customers
>people will ALWAYS bitch at you
>bar tabs skipped on a lot

Honestly I would say no. Its more of a perk thing like 'oh my friend is a bartender he can hook it up'. I see it as a good summer job or ideal for utlnder the table payment, but I would stay clear of the food service industry

My friend's alcoholism is destroying him. I'm an alcoholic too, but really functional, and not self-destructive. He's getting really sick, and has been to the hospital multiple times for booze related things, including withdrawals. He's dealing with internal organ issues that are affecting his brain. He's also in treatment for addictive gambling.

I want to get him some professional help, but I get the whole "pot calling the kettle black" response from him every time. Our other close friends live out of town and can't monitor him or help.

Any ideas here? He needs a full-on rehab, I think.

Go to rehab with him.
>>
>>17481019
He's not going to want help. Your only chance is to prove that he is dying. Thats the case. He is literally dying.
I feel it man. My godfather is a raging alcoholic. He is scared of hospitals and wont go to rehab, but trying to quit made him so bad that his body was shutting down without it. Get help before he ends up irreversible

>>17481025

Can't afford to ruin my career by going to rehab for a few weeks to help a friend, thanks though.

>>17481039
He seems to know he's dying, but won't listen to me. He keeps insisting no one will help him, and when I do, he gets mad at me. He's a lifelong friend, but we only recently came out of a two year fight.
