Not sure if the girl i am dating has lost interest or if she is busy. been dating her for a few months. was going well. for about the last week she has started to ignore my texts mid convo, and when i mention about going out she has stopped acknowledging it. not sure if i am just talking to her at a busy time because she works 5 times a week, and doesent get home until about half 7. She used to text me more or less all the time. Should i say something to her or stop trying? i cant be bothered putting in the effort if she is just fucking me about.
Just fucking ask her where things are at with you two or if she has something going on like a family/personal issue.
>>17430410
>something going on like a family/personal issue.
have asked her before if she is down about anything or has issues going on, she said no. i know she recently found out she had PCOS but if ask her if she is down, she claims not to be.
>Just fucking ask her where things are at with you two
had this convo with her a few weeks back and we nearly stopped dating. she basically said she cant take it serious yet, and still sees it as a casual relation for now. Will ask her again in a few weeks if we're still talking.
I honestly think she is talking to someone else.
>>17430399
she's dating other people too and you're likely not number one on her rotation
>father's business got bankrupt four years ago
>five years ago he bought his $50 000 dream car on leasing, even though he should have invested into business expansion
>he never had any financial reserve
>he was personally reponsible for his fault as an engineer and the fault of his business due to his irresponsible approach
>his corporation did not have enough cash to pay for debts
>all his belogings got into foreclosure
>he can't oficially work now without having all money he makes transfered to his creditors
>he recieves state pension that does not enable him to fully cover his expenses
>eight years ago, he and my mother have left to me one investment property and the other one to my brother
>I have rented it ever since, my brother has sold it off
>now he demands to give him about 40 % of my rental income to help him, my brother did not help him, ever
>I have been helping him this way for five years
>he did not have created any financial reserve
>still can't work
>will never be able to pay off his debts
>still rides in his dream car that was assigned to my name before foreclosure
>goes on holiday two to three times a year for the money I gave him
Should I keep helping financially to my father anymore? I feel I am being totally exploited if I continue like this.

Wow, I went through this with my mom
except she had property that I took care of without pay.
This is a 2 way street. He's using you and you're letting him. He's bad with money. People don't advance/work until they are entirely broke and completely under pressure.
Do you live with him?
Does your brother love with him?
>still rides in his dream car that was assigned to my name before foreclosure
You should get your name off this, if possible.
Also if he still drives this car instead of downsizing to a cheaper vehicle, he does not give a fuck. Don't do it, he gifted you the property, so fuck him.
> Do you cinsider cheating if you make out for three/four seconds with another girl and then you back off?
> First time cheating in my 24 years
>>17430297
Yes
Yes. If you ever have doubts, ask yourself if it would still be acceptable regardless of whether it was once or a hundred times.
You might be forgiven once, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a bullshit thing to do.
Yes...
The only exception would be if she kissed you, and you were like shocked for those 3 seconds then pulled away.
If a girl cheats on you, why would you hate her lover? What if she cheat him as well?
You don't. You just take the anger out on him because it's easier than hating someone you actually love.
If he knows about me and still does it, I hate it because he's a scumbag who would probably be just as mad as me if the chick he was with cheated.
If he doesn't know about me, I don't hate him, but I resent his existence. If he wasn't here, there's less chance she would have cheated. But I also thank him, because it means he took an unloyal bitch off my hands and now I can find someone who appreciates my efforts and devotion.
My GF cheated on me awhile back... With someone I knew. If it were someone I didn't know, I wouldn't be angry with him... But I knew the guy for way longer than my girlfriend.
He's just a piece of human garbage.
Is it possible to find a job you enjoy? It seems like every job has its own shitty aspects and a lot of them are no longer enjoyable thanks to factors such as workplace politics and a shitty boss.
I enjoyed being a waiter except for the management and owners being kind of fucking dicks. Giving people milkshakes and hamburgers was fun. They were good ones too, served up by cooks. It was a nice setting.
There will always be some aspects you don't like. The poor management was the part I didn't like.
>>17430220
Being a waiter can be enjoyable?
depends if it feels like work or not.
My sister's 13 and is dressing like how most girls her age seem to. A kind of cutely tacky attempt at sex appeal. It really bothers my mom and dad and, since my sister and I are really close, they want me to basically get her to stop.
It is a bit much at times, how should I go about it?
I was thinking about asking her why but I know when I was trying to compensate for my masculinity at her age I didn't really know why. Should I just tell my parents to chill? I kinda feel they're being prudish and us strong arming her into an ankle length skirt will just do more harm than good.
So actually...
Should I do what my parents told me, if so how?
Or should I tell my parents to chill?
Pic unrelated
>>17430005
Got a pic of her? You guys may just be overreacting.
If you feel what they asked is right then do it. If not, then talk with them about it.
My sister is 24 and it still bothers me whenever I see her dress a bit revealing. This really does seem like something your father or mother should be doing though.
>>17430005
All kids go through this. You probably did and she will. I say take her shopping sort of a brother/sister day and talk to her about finding her own style rather than what everyone else is wearing. I did this with my cousins. I showed them the clothes I wore.
>I can't believe you wore that
>It was cool then and chances are you are going to feel the same way in a few years.
I need help overcoming my germaphobia because I fear it's getting out of hand. I've been living with my sister and her family and I've been handed a place to sleep in (no door just a couple curtains to cover my pace). However, she has a cat and she says that she got the shots for it and I'm trying to believe her (doesn't have records but says she has "receipt" that she lost)
My sister tries to keep the cat as an indoor cat, but occasionally, her family leaves the front door open due to carelessness and the cat runs out. Yesterday, the cat left and was out for about two hours and it's the longest it's ever been out. It left today for about an hour and its paws were dirty as hell when it came back. Fast-forward to a few hours later and the cat is running around my bed. Now I'm scared to sleep in my own bed and I don't have a spare blanket nor some sheets to change the bedding.
tl;dr
How do I get over my germaphobia so it doesn't control my life and how do I rationalize being okay to sleep in my own bed?
wash the sheets
and wash the cat
>>17429936
House doesn't have washing machine nor a dryer and I doubt a laundromat is open right now (past midnight).
I can't wash the cat at the moment due to no animal shampoo.
Please respond. I just want to get over this so I can sleep. I'm just gonna put the sheets and blanket aside so I can sleep tonight, but I just want to not let shit like this run my life.
I dont know why but I seem to attract crazy/manipulative women but ive learnt that 5 years ago
>be with gf for over 2 years
>very manipulative and controlling but just felt as if I love her
>lately shes been secretive and even lied about being over some guys house which she admitted to
>I confronted the guy and he said nothing has happened an she was the one that initiated going to his place
>today she said she was going to pick me up so her phone is off
>an hour later she rings me saying she with her gf
what should I make of this? is she lying again?
Honesty is key. She doesn't seem to be very honest at this moment. Sit her down and talk to her (very serious) if she keeps giving you the run around leave her ass and find someone who deserves you and is all for YOU. Not some other guy (regardless whether or not they did anything) if she cared she would feel bad about that cause that's fucked up. Good luck!
There are plenty of fish in the sea, and you can do better than this

TSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
>edgy asshole who treats everyone like shit, even his own friends
>thinks that admitting that he's an asshole is an excuse
>will go out of his way to insult you no other reason other than you don't share his taste in anything ever
>extremely egocentric and narcissistic
>neckbeard that will scream "god isn't real" or "all fake" when religion is mentioned in any context
>will tell me that he has superior intellect or is better than me as a human being because he scored better on a test or some shit
>calls himself a cynic just because he's an asshole
>this shit happens way too often: he's listening to music at the same time as someone else and he will turn off his own music just to insult the other guy's taste in music (even tho he listens to linkin park and korn unironically lol)
Is there any way I can deal with this other than punching him in the nose? He thinks he's my friend and actually talks to me, but he's such an edgy piece of shit that every single word that comes out of his mouth makes me want to kill myself
Suck his dick
>>17429845
>Is there any way I can deal with this other than punching him in the nose?
Grow up.
>>17429845
Tell him to fuck off.
Is he he in your circle of friends and if so why do they tolerate him?
How can I get my full strength erections back?
Ive been fapping for years due to a long dry spell, and now with some girl and cant get hard like i used to. Im not overweight and I exercise pretty regularly. I drink and smoke quite often though and my diet is pretty crappy. I think its because all the fapping. Also, need tips on lasting longer
Thanks
Stop smoking, stop watching porn.
That will work. If it doesn't somehow, cut down on fapping.
Boom.
Its your diet and constant fapping.
Clean up your diet. Drink more water.
Jack off once a week. WITHOUT porn.
In two weeks or a month next time your with your girl it should be diamonds.
If the tips you receive here doesnt work, email a professional, they get these questions all the time and wont view it as awkward in any way
last night my gf asked me how big of a number is too big of a number, like at what point in my mind does a girl become a slut and undateable because of the # of partners
I never asked her number of partners before we started dating, so I just said the first number the came to my mind. Seven. I thought that was a pretty liberal number, but fairly realistic as well. My number is only 4.
She started crying, and when I tried to ask her what was wrong she said nothing and went and slept on the couch.
Now she is being a total bitch to me lately, so obviously it bugged her, except I know she hasn't slept with more than 7 guys, she's only had 3 boyfriends, so why is she so upset?
> I know she hasn't slept with more than 7 guys, she's only had 3 boyfriends
>>17429753
I have bad news for you anon.
She's fucked more than 7 guys. Probably just hookups when she wasn't dating them.
I can assure you that. Without a doubt.
>>17429753
>gf asks you leading question
>you answer honestly
>gets upset and doesn't speak
Yeah its time to break it off OP
Also
>3 bfs means she's only slept with 3 dudes
Gave me a hearty chuckle, thanks.
Adv, I'm going to be as open about this as I can be.
I seem to be "that guy" lately and I don't know what I can do about it at the moment. I'm being ghosted by everyone. No one is replying to my calls or texts and when they do, it's way later or obviously half assed. I'm doing a lot to better for myself but the change is difficult. I'm changing my diet, my clothing to more fashionable attire and I recently got a car. I'm becoming a better person and it feels good.
Yet, my couple circles of friends seem to not be interested in talking to me much about anything. Whenever we do stuff, I'm always the one to set it up.
I guess I'm just tired of feeling like I'm not desired as a friend. Should I just try to meet new people and move on? I'm a guy in his mid twenties. I have all these friends but I feel alone.
>>17429719
go ahead and try making new friends. worst case scenario, you were right, but now you got new friends.,
but its possible that you get new friends, and ur old friends miss oyu and talk to you and reach out since you arent the first one making the move anymore.
i had a similar situation. friend would invite me but it was literally only ever to board game nights iwth other people. if everyone else cancelled and i could hang out he was suddenly 'too tired'.
no harm in opening up new relationshi[ps
>>17429719
Take the path of least resistance and you'll be just peachy
>>17429736
Yeah, I think that friendship should be a give and take kind of deal. It's like people are using you when they are only interested in being around you when it meets their specific criteria.
I feel like I'm at a breaking point here,
Been in a relationship almost 2 years with a great girl, both of us are happy and I've really developed emotionally a lot being my first real relationship. I fuck up a lot though and try to get better at communication and I feel like I have. Since we started dating my grades have dropped a bit, not alarmingly but enough to notice and this summer I've been working with friends on this amazing opportunity. Increasingly though I feel like she's making me choose between what I'm doing at school/ my career to be with her. The thing is though I feel like I'm in the wrong because I've flaked so much/ not communicated, she is needy but always there for me. I'v had this idea in my head that it is possible to work on my career and school and have a fulfilling relationship but more and more I'm afraid I'll have to make a choice and I know it's not going to be her if it's an ultimatum.
I wrote it out simplified but there's a bit more to it and it feels so shit bros, can you offer some advice?
>>17429682
You'll never forgive yourself if you do not choose the career that you want.
>>17429702
>>17429702
That's what I've been thinking, one of the problems is that there's so much time involved in working for it and I've tried to make her understand this but I feel like it jsut never gets through and I get shit on for choosing my work over her. Thanks though man it's nice to hear it from someone else
If she's making ultimatums about your future, id get out of that relationship as fast as possible.
If you cut your arm up and put it in water to ensure that it won't dry before you bleed out, does your entire person need to be submerged in water (such as in a bathtub), or will putting the arm into a bucket do?
>>17429677
You're retarded.
>>17429684
I can't tell if that's a yes or a no so yeah, probably.
Cut your throat in a full bathtub you retard
I just feel as though I'm pretty worthless by any definition of the word. I don't have any real presence anywhere. My art isn't good enough to be noticed by anyone, none of my friends,not even my family ever invite me to do anything. I legit think that if I were to suddenly die tomorrow, nobody would really give a damn. Sure they'll come out of respect for the dead/death in the family and what not, but after a few days, It'll be like nothing even changed.
I can't even feel happy for any of my friends' achievements anymore. My childhood friend got married to his high school gf right after college a few months ago, and he's most likely going to be pretty damn successful in life,knowing him. Didn't even invite me to the wedding, and we've known each other since kindergarten. Sure he's moved on but I am pissed at him that his life is going just fine. Then, all my college friends are all doing amazing things, one of them even got to draw for adult swim on livestream yesterday,and while that is pretty cool, I'm just sitting here upset and jealous of him. Then a bunch of others are uploading their drawings and animations to facebook, they get like at the very least 10 likes or some shit, I post my art and I get fucking nothing. Hell, I fear that once I graduate from college, none of my friends will remember me. Not only will I be pretty fucking lonely, all the networking I've tried to do would be effectively lost.
I just want to be somebody special to somebody. I want to impact somebody's life the same way they impacted mine, but nobody cares. Like shit,dude if my life was a tv show, I'd be the background character of it all. I don't even feel like working on my art anymore, because nobody's even eager to see it.
Tl;DR: I want to be the special snowflake,but there's nothing special about me at all. I'm so painfully average and insignificant.
This is depression. Self loathing and jealousy are literal symptoms of depression, see your doctor. Get on some medication and if you're already on, go ahead and try something else. You should probably see a psychologist, you have a lot of self depreciation going on. It'll be the best thing for you and you'll feel way better. Trust me.
>>17429663
work harder. you wanna be special? do whatever it takes
>>17429705
But how much harder though, I can only keep running for so long until I overwork myself.
