Help me out /adv/

I'm talking to this girl and we've already set up a date for this weekend, but in the meantime, I can't think of much to say. I don't want to spoil every conversation I could use on the first date and ruin it but I can't think of anything natural to text her. She will send me one every now and then, so I know it's not like she doesn't want to talk to me, she just doesn't carry on conversations well. I think she's shy.

Should I just not say much until the date, or try and spark up a convo at least every day until then?

What do you feel like doing?
Don't you have stuff to do and can't be on the phone all the time?...

There's nothing wrong with talking less, but you should send a message sometimes.
Don't even think that the msg should start the conversation, but just send her a moment a of your day - people take pictures of food, per say, followed by a describing "Best coffee ever".
The last time I did this I sent her a picture of me on the club reading a book on a beautiful sunny day in Brasil (where I live), "Awesome day to be out!".

>What do you feel like doing?
Not gonna lie, I'm a pretty lonely person, so I want to talk to her a lot. I really like her so far, but I don't want to crowd her obviously or make her think I'm needy.

But I'll keep what you said in mind though.
>>
Ask her what she is doing, ask her about her day. Text her about your day, thing you found funny through out the day, etc

Do you guys use the fly on your underwear when you go for a piss or go over the top? Friend is insisting the fly is just for show and no one actually uses it.

What the fuck kind of question is that? You unbutton and unzip.
>>
>>17354678

i dont like to unbutton or unbuckle. it kinda depends what im wearing. if im wearing a suit, i use the fly of my underwear and pants. if im wearing shorts, i just pull the boxers down with them.

anything inbetween i take on a case by case basis.

but no, if you google 'urinal secret cam' and sit through hours of really ugly men peeing as a fetish you will find that very many use the fly in their underwear.
>>
>Friend is insisting the fly is just for show and no one actually uses it.
Your friend is a toddler apparently.

The only time I don't use my fly is when I'm wearing underwear without a dickflap.

So, there are a lot and I mean A LOT of people at the local park playing Pokemon GO.

I was thinking of spending real money every week and using a Lure whenever I'm in the park so maybe I can make new friends, people would see me everyday etc.

Is that a bad idea?

Why not just go up and talk to those already at the park?

Or just walk outside right now and meet them.
Right now.

Also do it before the hype wears off and the only people who still play are the autistic weirdos.

>>17354657

We've gone out before. 2 weeks ago, she came back town for 3 days. We "dated " 3/3. It was so amazing... I think i'm going for it.

Any suggestions how? A little present or something?
>>
>>17354672

whatever you think is best. she seems into you so being romantic is fine, versus with new girls it being weird. a little present. flowers. somethign traditional and cute.

How can I tell her to stop with this grad school shit already? I've told her plenty of times I'm not going to grad school or taking the GRE/GMAT anytime soon (by which I mean this year). She's fucking driving me up a wall.

Try something along the lines of "listen I love you and appreciate your concern for my future but I honestly have ZERO interest in doing that and I need you to respect my decision."

If my significant other ever tried to control me, what I enjoy, or my plans for the future I'd tell her to learn some fucking respect.

please tell me the program you found. I'm using my bachelors in biology to work at the post office. if my girlfriend told me to get a masters I'd set our apartment on fire

hey /adv/, time for the old "friend one or friend two" question.

my birthday is coming up on the 23rd of july. i'm going to bring some friends up to the cabin, and i can only bring 3 because my car will only hold 4 people. two of them are for sure going, but the problem is i don't know who to invite 3rd. i've narrowed it down to 2 friends.

FRIEND 1: we've been friends for about 2 years and i've wanted to bring him to the cabin for a while. however, recently he has not been a very good friend. it seems like he mooches off of me and all of my friends, and i'm not sure if he even likes hanging out with us. there is another group of friends and we call them the crusties (not sure why) and my friends don't really like them, but friend 1 has started hanging out with them a lot, even though he used to say that the crusties pissed him off, too. now it just seems like he'd rather hang out with them than with us. he was at my place the other day and he was just like "yo is it cool if i go hang out with the crusties?" and i said it was bc he wasn't really talking to me and i'm pretty sure he was just texting the crusties in their group chat most of the time he was here. also he's really loud and gets really pissed while playing vidya, especially SSBM which we're really into or anything competitive, even fucking tony hawk pro skater for N64.

FRIEND 2: i've only been friends with him for a little less than a year. he's been a much better friend recently than friend 1. he invited me up to his cabin but i haven't gone. i've been to his place a bunch of times, and he's been to mine. he's usually down to hang out and he's a lot chiller than friend 1. don't know what else to say about him.

i feel bad no matter who i invite, because i know the other will feel bad that he didn't get to go. advice is appreciated

You can't please everyone, OP. Friend numero dos for sure he sounds like a friend that will last, and as do memories, so choose wisely.
>>
Well you gave a super long rant about #1 and the only "negative" thing you had to say about #2 was that you haven't been friends as long. It sounds like you should invite #2
>>
>>17354540

not gonna bother reading their descriptions cuz it doesn't matter.

first and foremost, happy birthday. my birthday is july 24th but im celebrating the 23rd as well. not with a cabin in the woods, but yeah.

deep down you know who you want to bring, so just bring that person. he might not be able to go and you can invite the other without guilty anyway. but invite the person you want, nto the person that logic or culture dictates should go.

who do you want?

and if that doesnt ring true, then do the following

stand up, take three deep breaths. ask yourself out loud 'do i want (friend1) to come to the cabin instead of (friend2) ?'

if your body leans forward YES, you want friend 1. if your body leans back NO you want friend 2.

>Someone hit the scanner for the gate key at our apartment over the 4th of July weekend
>Just came home for work with a note on my door saying "Consider this a $2643 warning"
>Saw the same note on other apartment doors

Is this a bill for damages to the gate that I didn't do? Did my landlord came up with the bright idea of assuming that being a tenant is a valid enough reason to blame us for the damages.

Is that all the note said?
>>
>>17354548
There was a lot of bitching about the tenants' guests, which I don't have any and letting people into the gate at 2:31 am (one gate uses a card scanner while the other the person dials a code that calls your cellphone number and you dial 9 to open the gate).
>>
Keep the note, but I assume he is just being a dick. Maybe he plans to add $2643 dollars to everyones rent for a month? Regardless, he can't legally make all of you pay for it unless that's part of your lease/rental agreement, which would be odd.

Hey guys, lately I feel like I can't shut off the voice in my head and enjoy things, specifically my girlfriend. Her and I aren't close enough to visit each day, so the majority of our interactions are through phone. We recently started dating, and since we started its been hard for me to stop worrying about what impression I'm leaving on her. She tells me very often and with such genuinity how much she enjoys all of me and loves me; I'm convinced she has no walls built around herself towards me. I've said the same thing to her and I meant it too. But what feels like 45 minutes later I'm back to overthinking everything and forgetting to enjoy her and life. We've succeeded in having sex after me failing to get it up a few times due to the same nervousness. She's not aware of my issue as of yet because I feel like its a hurdle in my head that shouldn't be there. Before we were dating I still loved her and she still loved me and our interactions were more fluid. But now when I think about her sometimes its fluid sometimes I'm overthinking and nervous and I hate it I just want to love her all the time and I keep stopping myself because of my insecurities that I feel so aware of but they still effect me. I feel like if I can't find a way to enjoy this girl without barriers now that she's close to me, I'm missing out on real love.

I wouldn't say I'm an unconfident person, most people find me to extremely likeable. But for some reason I can't trust that she'd be ok with all of me and I stop myself from breaking down my walls.

Can anyone give me some advice to this situation? In this moment I'm upset, but 5 hours ago I looked at a picture of her and wanted to pick her up and kiss her.

What exactly are you overthinking ? Your own issues or things with her?
>>
>>17354501
I guess it's both. I start to overthink things with her, and I catch myself doing it so I tell myself to stop doing it. When that happens it feels like my brain just stops.
>>
Well...

I believe a man shouldn't have a woman in the center of his life. I don't mean we shouldn't love her, yes, we should and it's fucking awesome for both sides in many ways, but when we are talking about priorities, woman shouldn't be number one.

And I believe they don't want you to put them on number one. If you do so, you'll stop following your life and dream, stop growing, sacrificing it to be with her.

Bottom line, puting her first makes you and her sad and less atracted to each other or life. Therefore, you should stop forcing yourself to "love her all the time" and give yourself some love. That's one way you can love her more and fully.

I'm completely aware of that, but wouldn't it be respectful to not say certain things to your girlfriend?
>>
You chose your partner for a reason. I do understand that "look at the menu, but don't buy" thought process.. But there's no reason to be talking to someone you consider a partner about this unless your gf is a closet dyke. Are you TRYING to make her jealous? This is manipulation.

Be respectful, save it for the dudebros. It just makes you look thirsty anyways.

>Does mental retardation get better?

I did a lot of drugs and it fucked up my brain. I'm not sure how, if it was from oxygen deprivation or the drugs themselves, but I'm not the same. I've been sober from drugs for over 6 months, but the "cognitive improvements" are slow. Some days I'm pretty lucid, playing with 75% of a deck so to speak, but those days are sprinkled in between weeks of retardation.

I feel like my mind is slipping, as if my mental condition is getting worse and worse, and reality is creeping further and further away. My intuition says that things may get worse, much worse. But, it's already so bad that I don't even recognize who I am anymore. People talk about how they feel the same as they did when they were a kid, like they kept that core person intact, and I simply don't. At all.

Anyway, does anybody have any experience with recovering from brain injuries? I think my damage is probably physical, since my cognition is what's mostly been fucked. Is there hope that I'll get better?

>>17354450

was diagnosed with a 'mild' form of brain damage earlier this year, MdDS. no idea how i got it. docs claimed i could have just stressed myself hard enough to make it happen. total bullshit.

even now that I've mostly recovered i still have issues. namely my shitty memory and poor coordination.

ive definitely come back... 'different' and i kinda get you. i definitely feel like a different person than the guy who had this body in january. but i am who i am and theres no reason i need to be that guy.

as for your recovery. only your docs know, not us.
>>
>>17354464
I'm just feeling really blue about it man. I just wish I could concentrate on what I was doing instead of worrying about people thinking I'm retarded. Even when I'm not around people, I'm often ruminating about whatever stupid thing I did or said earlier.

I just want to be intelligent enough so I can socially cohere, or at least learn how not to be a total leper. I'm not asking to be an astronaut, I just want to live and function normally like everyone else.

It's so depressing man.
>>
>>17354713

i feel ya. but hteres certainly a learning lesson in here, wouldn't you say? not to rub it in just... now you know better.

even now that im recovered i still get it. i am able to run my business but theres still aspects of my intelligence that seem... affected. if i bring it up casually to someone, especially potential romantic partners, they quickly lose interest.

lost a lot of friends over the whole ordeal.

There's a girl at my college who I have a crush on. We're friendly acquaintances and haven't spent a lot of time together outside of hanging out at one party. My college is getting close to breaking up for summer and I want to put my foot in the door and get a way to speak to/see her over the break.

Should I just be straightforward and ask her for her number?

Ehhh. If summertime is approaching and she's going back home for three months, now wouldn't be the optimal time. What do you think is gonna happen? You'll make such a big impression that she'll spend the whole summer texting you?

Better to wait until the new school year, or just forget it.

This is a sixth form college in England, we're all local.

>>17354460
Oh, well, in that case just ask for her number and hope you're able to act charming on instinct.

I'm in an ldr with someone a state away. I am a server, and have very little in savings. She keeps saying it makes more sense to move up to her and then find a better job. Would it be better to find a job near me and save up for a few years, then try to transfer/find another job, or to just move up to her and struggle with rent for a while while I look for new jobs?

Yeah living together. Right now we both live with our parents. She has a cushy government job, great benefits, etc. and could easily afford rent. I, on the other hand, would have to struggle at the level I'm at now.
