A former 10/10 hot co-worker of mine said now that she isn't working with me anymore that she thinks we should meet up.

I asked her about this Friday and she said she was free. I later texted her Barman vs. Superman and she said she was game. The term "going out" was used.

Now this is obviously a preliminary date thing. But the thing is, what do I do now?

I asked a 10/10 hot chick out for Friday. We don't text all that much but in person the chemistry is certainly there.

Do I text her at all during the in between time? Do I act differently because she's really hot? Any tips?

Just don´t play any games. Being overly eager isn´t the best (spamming), but it´s MUCH better than leaving her to wait for a text just because someone thinks some rules apply.
Not texting her might actually make her uncomfortable too ;)

And take her as you would any other girl. 10/10 doesn´t have to do anything with her personality, treat her like a person, not a manequin and you should be fine

Did you have tickets you ordered in advance? Are you talking about next Friday?

Because going for opening night of one of the most anticipated movies of the year seems a bit.. ambitious...

>Do I text her at all during the in between time?
Do what you would normally do.

>Do I act differently because she's really hot?
No.

Don't force it. If you have something interesting to say to her or need something then by all means do it, since it can only help. However, if you don't, then you're better off not saying anything at all.

Hopefully you are missing on some sort of important detail on the meetup, like you haven't agreed on a set time, you don't know where she lives, etc. This will give you something to talk about, even if it's all that you say and the conversation does not go on for more than three texts or so.

>Do I act differently because she's really hot?
No, but if bringing it up to her at some point beforehand will ease your mind then I would do it. You could say something like how you're surprised that she's meeting you here because you thought she was a little out of your league in a way. This is, assuming, that this is a romantic sort of date and you should also consider the (although unlikely) possibility that isn't romantic.

If you have real chemistry then you should be fine. If you feel that something it's p, then say something about it to her, but don't give her the impression that you do not like being around her. Don't give her the idea that somethings up, and if you say something that could potentially give her that idea then make sure that you are calm beforehand.

I don't know if you are awkward when it comes to physical stuff (handholding, hugging, etc.), but if you are then keep your mouth shut and just calm yourself down. If you feel awkward, it's only because you are overthinking it because you are overthinking it and allowing yourself to feel awkward. I don't know if this applies to you, though.

The most important thing is to just enjoy the moment.

I'm an 18 year old guy if you feel this is important to know in some way.

I have to take the bus pretty much everywhere I go. I have no car and in this city you either have a car.. or you take the bus. There is no subway or metro.

I feel very shitty because I am 24 and take the bus and I feel like women don't like guys who take the bus even if the female takes the bus herself. They feel the male should have a car and be able to pick up the girl and drop her off. I obviously can't do that.

What do women really feel about men who can't drive or have no car? I have a license, just no car.

It actually makes me super salty because women want men to have all this capital but all I want from a girl is for her to like me and be of AVERAGE weight and not mentally ill. Thats all. Am I asking for too much?

>>16943944

Women don't like guys who can't drive, it's pretty simple. Women like guys that have something to offer - and honestly, you should feel the same about women. I wouldn't date a girl who couldn't drive or take care of herself, personally. I know there are guys that will, but they're going to end up settling for the lowest tier of girls, and they'll probably end up in a situation where the couple doesn't have a future.

The thing is, a lot of people in your situation look at a car the wrong way, like it's just a status symbol. It's not - it's a representation of freedom. If you decide you want to go across town for something, you can, without having to plan a bus route. If there's an emergency, you can be right there for her, rather than having to bum a ride or catch a bus. If you want to take a weekend trip, you can.

If you lived in a city like New York, this wouldn't be as valid, but you've already said you don't. You're basically like a little kid, at this point.

My roommate is leaving me his dog for a week while he goes on vacation. The dog's grown up with me, she's sweet, but I'm admittedly not that great at this.

If she gets 3 walks and I feed/water her over that timespan on a regular schedule, she'll be okay, right? She's normally very sappy and likes a lot of attention and cuddles, which I'm not the best at. She also sleeps in his bed normally, but won't be able to sleep in mine, so I'm gonna kind of restrict her to her dog bed in the kitchen.

I guess what I'm asking is, how do I best not fuck this up while spending the least amount of time with her possible? I figured sitting at home with a nice wide open backyard and someone to feed her would be a lot better than him leaving her in a kennel for a week.

It'll be better for the dog, but she'll still cry and whine at night. Nothing you can do about it.
>>
>>16943931
That all sounds fine, but ask about her normal care. What time is she walked and fed normally?

Just follow that, it's fine.

As for sleeping your solution is sbsurrly fine. She won't like it, but she's a dog. She'll be ok in the morning.
>>
>>16943979

She's fed and walked at times that are totally incongruent to my life, but luckily when she's fed she doesn't really eat all of it immediately, so as long as I fill up a bowl for her, she'll get around to it eventually.

She eats at like 1 PM and midnight (roommate works swing shift). Similarly, she's walked between 12-4 PM, and 1-3 AM. At least once a day, but twice a day 3-4 times a week, unless she gets to go to the park or something and have a big workout.

>>16943897

You can take two years of general education, getting a lot of requisites out of the way. If you haven't figured it out by then, then yes. It might be a waste of time and money.

I (23/f) have been hanging out at my love interests ' (31/m) house and spending the night with him every weekend for the past two months. We spend a good deal of our free time together as friends. As my friend, He's confided in me that he's not over a previous relationship, and hasn't slept with anyone in over a year. That he can't bring himself to do anything sexual without feelings getting involved.
Today, he made a move with me though. The first move. Which has sent my mind reeling. I stayed with him last night, and when we woke up, we moved close to each other. He started rubbing my waist where my underwear hit with his thumb. He said to "tell him if he goes too far. He doesn't want to do anything I don't want to do". Needless to say, things physically progressed. I've liked this guy for a while! I was really feeling it. The way he held me and gave me his first kiss sweetly on top of my head...it was great. Anyway, long story short, It got to the point where we decided to "go for it" and were trying to find protection. He found some, and I expressed my happiness but stated I needed to go to the bathroom really fast. I legitimately had to go if I wanted to be comfortable during what I thought was to come next. When I came back in his room, its as if a switch had been flipped. No more kissing, cuddling, fooling around. And no talk about what had just happened.
I don't know if he was too in the moment. If there's feelings involved or just hormones. I'm lost. And its been nonstop on my mind all day. I don't know if it was a "test" to see how far I'd go...but he knows I don't sleep around. Maybe he had a moment of clarity while I was in the bathroom? Things weren't awkward afterwards, and we've texted today. No jokes or otherwise talking about what happened though. Also, no kiss goodbye.
What is going on here? How should I proceed? What's he thinking?!

>>16943895
Maybe he thought that the bathroom was a ruse, your way of getting out of the situation?

To be honest, it'd be best to just ask him. If you want do be in a romantic relationship with him, you're going do have to learn to communicate your feelings. That said, I know I'd have difficulty bringing up the subject so try something more subtle. Make a gentle move with some physical contact, show you're interested and it wasn't a one-off thing.

If you're good friends, I'd hope he'd respect you more than to see how far you'd go out of fun.
>>
Thanks for the sincerity of your advice and response. I know the obvious thing to do would be to bring it up and ask. I've done this before though with someone else, and it backfired. Makes the guy feel pressured to define what we're doing. So, I'm honestly scared to do it again. I really don't want to mess this one up! I like him a lot! I don't even know that he knows...I try to play cool. Playing overly eager is horrible. Makes you seem needy and clingy.
>>
>>16943980
Well, it sounds like he was into you too. So if you really like him, it'd be worth making some sort of move soon while you guys are still tugging at the boundaries of your relationship.

I completely get not wanting to have a conversation about it, I'm horrible at that stuff and it could scare him off. As cheesy as it sounds, I'd parrot his 'tell him if he goes too far' line back to him and do something flirty. That way, you're vaguely acknowledging the previous situation without pushing it and letting him control the situation. If it doesn't work, you can play it off as a joke. If it does work, only downside is you won't know if he only likes you physically and that could screw up your relationship.

My fiance just bought pic related.

He struggled with the decision, going back and forth (mostly because I think the 'game' is retarded), and finally decided to go through with it.

I think less of him for both being indecisive, and not owning up to the fact that it's basically interactive porn (at least outright, and not until I termed it such)...as well as it being $60+...

How do I not be an asshole about this?

Well simply tell him that you think for some arrogant reason that you have the right to tell him how to spend his free time and money and judge him based on an animated game about beach sluts (also I agree that game is retarded and clearly I'm as obnoxious as you are)

My car got totaled (in the fucking parking lot, no less) and I'm expecting a pretty decent check in the mail in the near future. I'm planning on replacing it with a motorcycle. Does anyone have any advice for dealing with salesmen? I detest playing games and being haggled, my line of thought was that I was going to walk in and offer what they're asking except OTD, including all fees and taxes. Does that ever actually work? The motorcycle in question is a pretty unpopular model and there are several from 2014 across a bunch of dealerships in my area that are still brand new sitting on the floor, so I'm assuming they're actively trying to get rid of them.

Any advice would be awesome, I've never bought new from a dealer before and don't want to get my pooper punished.

Ex gf and I were together for 1 1/3 of a year, and split about 1 1/2 years ago. I broke it off with her because of school

She's messaging me now everyday after a year and a half of silence. She has made it clear she doesn't want to start things again but become friends. I don't want this, I personally want togetherness fully or nothing.

Additionally she talks about going out and getting knocked up and genuinely being slutty.

Am I being an aspire about this? I don't want to see her or speak if we're not dating, should I be more comfortable with this.

I don't even want to start dating again, I was happy before, but I don't think I want friends either.

Uh, aspie? No, your feelings are completely legitimate. I've been in the same situation as you, only with the genders reversed, and it's completely legitimate to not want contact with your ex. Only thing to do, in my experience, is to be brutally honest: "I have no interest in being friends, and don't contact me further. Bye." Especially with her talking about hooking up with other people, that's incredibly immature and mean-spirited. Just say no and block her. EZ

What's the problem? If you don't want to message someone you just don't (but you might want to tell them first). If they keep messaging you and the notifications annoy you then use the block button.

>>16943785
It was mean spirited, I was her first so she's become this way and wants me to know this.

I just don't know if I'm over reacting. I'm a little nervous too because I'm not great with girls.

I will tell her to lay off anons

dear /adv/, I just want perspective on general experience of what people seem to call manic depression or bipolar disorder. I'm a 22 y.o. man and it all started for me when I was 20.

20
>normal for the first 6 months
>manic episode lasting 3 months
>dark depression for the remainder

21
>alcohol and amphetamine abuse at all-time high
>can't remember much, but know that I was manic during the daytime and sedated at night
>do remember several psychotic experiences

22
>months upon months of unbelievably crippling depression
>since the start of this year, haven't been depressed, seemed to have snapped out of it
>less reliant upon amphetamine and alcohol, take days off
>today, depression hits me like a truck out of nowhere and for no reason

what's wrong with me? is it simply a curse? a self-fulfilling prophecy? I'm really not trying to be a special snowflake, I hate this experience, I want to put it past me. that's why I made this thread. maybe some of you kind anons have been through something similar or know somebody like this and could share some wisdom or advice about the whole thing. thanks so much.

We are not mental health professionals and are nowhere near qualified to diagnose you with anything.

Even if someone here was a mental health professional, a few green text lines is hardly enough information to make an informed guess.

You need to go see a psychiatrist and get a full evaluation. This is a medical question and should be addressed with a medical professional

Bought myself a can of peanuts but when I opened it, the can hissed.
Bought myself another can of peanuts (different brand) and it hissed as well.

Going on assumption that its probably because both cans were packed with modified atmosphere packaging I went back to first can and chew on half of peanuts from it.
Now I have doubts, maybe both cans are fucking shot and I just gave myself a ticked to a shitty 3rd world hospital or its actually because cans are packed in MAP and they suppose to be bloated or hiss when opened.

Being pretty paranoid about shit on regular basis this situation doesnt make me feel any better, save me /adv/.

>>
>>16943834
Well, bulging or hissing cans are a sign of spoilage.
The worst thing about them is that they are perfect environment for bacteria producing botulinum and botulinum poisoning is the last thing you wanna get when eating canned food.

Since bulging cans were always considered spoiled and there is no clear guidelines about MAP cans I have no freaking idea whether I just gave myself a poisoning or just overacted.

Would very much liked to hear from someone who knows for sure but seeing lack of information on the web I wonder if the only people who know are the ones making that food.

If you had botulism you would fucking know it. You literally would have trouble breathing and speaking, probably couldn't stand on your own and would feel like you were going to die. It can be fatal too depending on how bad you have it.

I'm a flight attendant. Usually on my commute from my flat/hotel to the airport, I'm all dressed in typical FA garb. I dunno, I just don't feel like changing in a cramped bathroom stall and waiting in line to apply makeup. I usually get stares, but it's usually my own friends that poke fun. Is this unheard of or something? I remember being 16 and wearing my grocery store cashier uniform on the bus, lol.

Your friends poke fun because they're friends.

The stares are because people really want to walk up to you and ask "Where are going?" "What's it like?"

You're seen as having a cool occupation.

What happened: Met a nice interesting guy, after a few days of texting we went out for a date, which went nicely, texted for a bit more and then he just stopped (I´m not spamming him with messages, but I was the last one to text)
Now I don´t think I said anything stupid or bad, I´m pretty good looking, educated (uni), with a job and hobbies of my own (in other words not a needy bimbo).

I´m just wondering what would be a reason for you (Anonguys) to just stop texting out of the blue (without even saying anything like "Sorry, this won´t work", no explanation or anything)...
