Has anyone ever worked for these guys or similar places as a package handler? I've held off on trying because I'm afraid I wouldn't be strong or fast enough to do the work. It's just the school money (especially from pic related) looks so damn tempting.

I feel great, anons.
Only problem is, where the FUCK do I go from here? Literally every move I've made so far has been planned, but I don't have any ideas as to how to go on.
I don't want to come off as persistent or creepy, but I also don't want to make it seem like I don't care.
I haven't texted her since yesterday, though I did see her in class today.
Should I text her? What should I text her? What do I DO???

>she's busy but would let me know when she's not
That might have been a subtle rejection, m8. Women do that sometimes. They don't want to say "no" directly so they'll keep saying that they're busy or they'll set up a date and make up an excuse in the last second why they can't come.

>>17112708
You're right. I shouldn't get my hopes up. Any tips on finding out if she's actually interested?
>>
>>17112708
this, try one more time if u are interested in her if she says no just keep on the next one, hey at least you did an amizing advance in your life anon keep practicing with other girls
I called this girl I know and asked her to go to the movies on Friday and she said sure.
How am I sure it's not platonic, but romantic instead? We went out sunday and she kept touching me and scratching my back which I gauged as interest, but I don't know if I waited too long to ask her out.
We've talked every day since then except yeaterday where I called her around 10 when she happened to just get out of work, and I haven't heard from her today. I'm wondering if something came up or if I'm just being paranoid.

worst thing you can do is be too needy/stalky/clingy
give it time, do other stuff or pretend you're doing other stuff and have more things going on than her. But not so extreme that you look like a dick
>>
>>17112702
Her personality is a little bit clingy and she hasn't been in about a day and a half so I'm concerned because it's outside her usual behavior.

>>17112721
would be funny if she's trying the exact same thing then
>be me, 24 years old guy
>teenage days ex messages after 7 years of silence
>breakup was messy as hell, didn't want to see her at all and was fine without her
>she keeps talking about how her health problems "changed her" and insists on seeing eachother
>hell no
>keeps asking politely
>tells me if i change my mind i can feel free to contact her
What the hell is she up to guys? Something's fishy for me. I told her it's an old story, things happened and she should move on, but it didn't bother her at all.

Had the same situation. Dont see her
How easy would be to get and meet women who will agree on having a baby with me.
By that I mean simply having a baby without any real relationships, more like renting her eggs and womb.
Of course I don't mean something as dry as buying an object.
I want to take care of the children and care about it's education.
I'll explain the situation.
I'm a high IQ person (130) and I think I can get into mensa and be a mensa member, but I'm lazy as fuck.
One of my life dreams is to have as many children as ancient warriors had, gengish khan used to have more than 1k descendants.
But is not simply about that, I want also to take a bunch of kids and raise them into geniuses, as many genius of history were raised by their parents.
Besides many other practical reasons, is like a silly dream I have.

Hi /adv/,
I'm looking for job selection advice. I'm torn between 3 different places.
The first is my job at school, boring IT work that pays $13 an hour, with around an hour commute each way.
The second is an internship at a tiny (6 people) startup doing software development that pays $15/hr, with a 45 minute commute each way. I'm worried that this one will expect me to work unpaid overtime.
The third is an internship at a fairly large multinational insurance company, doing some combination of IT and software development, that pays somewhere upwards of $13/hr, and is around a 20 minute commute each way.
Do any of these sound outright better/worse than the other two?

you make the school one sound the most shit, not only is it an hour away, but it's boring and the pay is the lowest on the pay scale you can go. As far as working overtime, I wouldn't stress about that. You're an intern they probably won't even need you to work a full day.
>>
>>17112596
>I wouldn't stress about that
The only reason I do is that the person I interviewed with said that if I wanted, I could leave early and work from home. Which to me sounds like they might expect me to finish working 8 hours, then go home and work more.
>>
>>17112615
Working from home is a mixed bag. I work from home as a Software Developer, I also help support the software I publish.
You'll NEVER not be off of work, you'll always have a knee-jerk reaction to check emails and deal with every situation as it arises. It's nice to really make your work space as comfortable as you want it and be at home, but understand, it's hard to 'get off of work' when it's always 20 feet away from you.

I'm trying to get my life together.
I'm 20. After barely graduating HS I worked at subway for 3 months then got severely depressed and started going delusional and a lot other shitty things happened.
It's been almost 2 years since that.
I want to go to college and get a decent job, but I have absolutely no clue where to start.
I have aspergers, anxiety ,depression(I haven't had delusions in months)
I'm poor and live with my mom
How do I start getting my life together? How do I start college? What should I study? How do I pay for it? Do I need a computer? Are there any jobs that I can handle( I have no social skills, get very stressed sometimes) both during and after college? PLEASE HELP! And thank you in advance if you do.

If you couldn't even handle making sandwiches without going into a spiral of panic and depression for two whole years, what makes you think college would be a good idea?
>>
>>17112467
I have to agree with the other guy. Depending on what you can handle i would reccomend different things.
Do you think you are intellegent, hard working, independent enough for a difficult and demanding education?
Answer me because i recently went through pretty much the same and have tried various things and can give probably very good adv

I might be able to sleep with a girl this Saturday.
Actual sleep, not anything else. Just sleep with a girl in a bed.
Aight, so I'm going with some friends out of town this weekend. Since there aren't many beds and all, everyone pairs so we usually sleep 2 in a bed. We're friends, nothing unusual, I've slept with guys and girls alike, no problem.
Well now this weekend there's this girl, friend of friend kinda situation. Since we're going to split in pairs to sleep, (couples obviously together) there's a high chance I'll get paired to sleep with this chick.
She kinda knows me (I suspect my friend told her about us / me at least in part), I don't know her at all. I suppose she's single, otherwise no reason to come alone in a group she's never been before, over a weekend, out of town. She's cute (seen random pics) and I suppose she's smart since she works in IT apparently.
Well, my question is, if, god's will, I have a chance with this girl, we click well, chemistry and shit, and we pair to sleep in the same bed, how do I initiate cuddling?
We're good folk, me and my buddies are not the kind of people to slut around, do drugs and shit. We have a good time and all that. I don't wanna fuck this girl senseless and dump her. If there's a chance there for me, I kinda want to just cuddle around and stuff (if she wanted sex so suddenly, it's not the type of girl for me anyway)
Whatever, how the fuck do I initiate cuddling in case all goes well?
Do I just turn around and hug her? Tickle her? What do without being a creep with my hands all over he body and shit?

Wait, jinx is real???

>>17112395
Initiate cuddling? You do realize that sounds weird? Honestly just be very charming before and show a lot of interest in her / talk to her. You seem like you care too much about what others will think, that way you won't be very successful.
Nobody wants to cuddle someone they barely know, unless well she wants your dick or just focuses on your appearance. Although if you get friendly with her cuddles can become like flirting, if you don't than it will eventually be weird.
>>
When lying next to her touch her with a finger and retreat instantly like you did it by accident (don't go so far that it looks like you are repulsed by the thought of touching her though).
Gauge her reactions carefully and if she reacts positively do it again whenever feels acceptable. Then start caressing her slowly.
I know this sounds autistic as fuck but it usually worked for me.

I want to be a detective, the only problem is I'm bipolar and because of this I can't join the police force.
I don't want to be a detective because of TV shows, it just fits my natural talents. I'm highly intuitive and good at picking up small details and making educated guesses.
I was thinking of studying psychology at university to get into the field of Forensic Psychology. Clinical psychology would be the last thing I'd want to do, I want something more hands on, even if it's just researching criminal though processes at a university.
But mainly I'd like to be a detective. I just watched the BTK killer's confessional video and it made me sick. While I'm not so idealistic to believe that there is a way to completely stop them, I'd like to catch people like this and put them where the sun doesn't shine.

Are you sure your condition bars you from joining the police? Is it not controlled by medication?
>>
>>17112401
Well I'm not sure I know I definitely can't join the military, a history of even being treated with medication for a mental illness bars you. I've been to psych wards numerous times, I'm type 1 bipolar and I go off the deep end when I go manic. I'm balanced currently and on meds, the problem is I feel like I'd be a liability and also I have an active firearm hold on me. I really want to be a detective but I wouldn't mind working behind the scene like profiling people and inspecting crime scenes

I'm kind of socially retarded when it comes to romance and I need some help.
Basically this guy and I have been hanging out. We make sexual jokes and we've basically cuddled without going further cause I'm too reserved to really return his touches. Most people would probably think it's pretty clear he's into me but I don't want to assume and also I don't want to have a FWB kind of deal.
I'm really afraid he'll think I'm friendzoning him but I'm actually super interested.
He has also implied I'm intimidatingly attractive when talking about the way some other guy treats me. Should I just tell him how I feel cause it it seems like he's too much of a gentleman to really come onto me or is afraid to? A guy who has heavily implied he's interested won't reject me, right?

Follow up question, does it kind of take away from a girl's cuteness if she's assertive in that way? I mean is it unattractive when the female takes away the role of the guy?
>>
Yes
No
>>
>>17112340
I think you should come out with how you feel, and he will almost guaranteed not reject (but can't say with 100% certainty)
It depends on the guy if he actually cares about an assertive girl. I don't, and I don't see why men would care but some do. If he likes you he'll be happy either way.

How do I stop feeling so guilty about having interests?
So I have depression and generalized anxiety. Been getting treatment, so things are okay. For as long as I can remember I've felt guilty about being interested in anything. Like if I'm not spending all my time doing responsible things then I'm just a worthless piece of trash.
It doesn't help that I have a brother, who harasses me about everything from my interest in art down the the music I listen to. Don't think of it as endearing either. He's a grown ass man living at home, who got three of our cats killed and gets into fist fights with our dad for asking him to do chores, but I've already talked about that here.
It's gotten to point where I can't do anything that interests me, especial if my brother is around. Every time I get an inkling of a drive to play a game, listen to music, or make something I get this overwhelming guilt and don't do it.
it's getting out of hand /adv/. I'm on edge all the time because I'm not doing things to blow off steam.

You feel guilt because of that psychopathic manchild? Cut that shit out, he's not worth the brain problems.
>>
>>17112339
I know! That's the ridiculous thing. He's just a self-absorbed protein sipping stoner. Yet I still end up taking his insecure projections to heart. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I grew up with it? If he was just some random douche bag I'll never have to speak to again, it would be different, I'm sure.
>>
>>17112367
So when you start to feel guilty, say 'I'm not going to let that dickbag that everyone knows is a loser dictate how I live my life', and then stop feeling guilty.

TL;DR - Girl likes me, I like her, she suddenly cuts things short, I think she wants this but she's just scared.
Ok here we go -
A girl I liked approached me to tell me she liked me back. She didn't feel comfortable talking to me though and wanted to only text. When I was around her in person it was like she was physically running away from me all the time - like she couldn't face me. When we were in public, she would act like nothing was going on, but then she'd text me with really deep stuff.
She basically said we were "going out" or in some kind of relationship in one of those texts. Unfortunately, we had to leave our college and go home for the weekend, then her texts got sparse, and when I saw her again on Monday she was fine around me but still refusing to actually spend time with me one on one or avoiding it. I asked her best friend if I was doing anything wrong, she said she was having regrets about having told me, that she wasn't sure if she liked me after all. That didn't quite ring true though because she was indicating that I wasn't taking things far enough and she clearly wanted to be more intimate, even though I was trying to take things one step at a time so she didn't get overwhelmed.
I just wanted 5 minutes to talk to her, but I asked her on a date, she said she was busy. I told her I could take things as fast or as slow as she wanted but she told me then we should just stay friends and refused to see me, shutting herself in her room and not talking to me, even though I just wanted 5 minutes for the sake of closure.
I wrote her a letter telling her I understood what this thing "was/could have been" is dead, and although we would have practical problems the real issue was probably that I didn't have it in me to be the kind of guy she wanted and she probably didn't like me as much as I liked her.

She looked terrible when I saw her around the dorm and I didn't speak to her. I texted her friend on the train home to ask how she was, but I get a text back from the girl -
Telling me:
"Look I'm sorry it all happened this way but nothing ever actually happened it was better to get out before anything did, nothing lost"
When I asked if by "nothing lost" she meant she was worried if we had something and it didn't work out after college ends she said:
"No it means nothing happened so there's nothing to get over"
So I told her when she told me she liked me I gave it a day before she would realise I'm an idiot. She replied;
"It wasn't that. I don't think I can do a distance relationship"
So I told her I had thought it through and I was going to have one anyway, and I offered to explain but that she knew what she could/couldn't do. She says:
"It really doesn't matter, I've tried it before and I don't want to sorry"
So I told her the one thing I wanted was to go on adventures with her, gave a few examples, and asked if we could still do stuff like that even if we couldn't have a relationship.
I get a text from her friend replying "She is absolutely fine but wishes you stop bothering her"
I take the hint, but get a text from the girl an hour later saying
"I don't know we'll see how things go"
Right now I am giving her the space she clearly needs/wants at the moment and I'm gathering my thoughts.

People are going to tell me to move on, that's exactly what I'm doing, but this girl... I fully expect her to get back to me at some point. Even that last text. She did this before - I asked her out in February, she took a day to think about it and told me she wanted to stay friends but then said "you never know where the future will take you anyway."
I think she does want this, deep down, but someone has hurt her and she's afraid of intimacy and letting her guard down. I don't think she's not attracted to me anymore, she's just scared of us actually moving into reality and doing bf/gf type things. I think she has attachment problems of some kind, ambivalent attachment or whatever they call it, she probably got hurt young - she told me about her "scars" once.
She does this push/pull thing with things she really wants but doesn't feel confident with. She drops out of things a lot and I think she has low self esteem.
I'm going to play this like the horse whisperer in that movie, where a horse that got traumatised in an accident has to get broken in but it keeps bolting from the stable out of fear of the saddle because of memories. The main character just waits with the harness for the horse to come to him.
If she's scared of this, I can't reach out to her because I'll overcrowd her, I'm just going to be her friend no matter what and end things on a good note. In my letter I told her it meant a lot that she still wanted to be my friend after what happened before. I am also prepared for her approaching me again like she did before. If she doesn't, I guess I won't have to worry anymore.
Am I on the right track here?

We met a month ago in a bar and seemed to get on well, she proposed we swapped numbers. I've had some stuff going on up until now but would now like to go for a drink with her. Have I left it too long?

Just let her know you ended up really busy but enjoyed meeting her. Ask her how things are going
