I've been in a relationship for just over two months and feel the need to break-up.
The girl I'm dating is really sweet, kind, mature etc, and we get on great, but I have never "clicked" with her. Furthermore, whilst sex is enjoyable it does appear as though we like different things (and there appears to be no compromise). In comparison, in my previous relationship we clicked right away, were into the same things sexually, and we lasted five years (I also believe I'm still wearing the scars of that relationship).
I don't know what to do. I feel if I give it more time things may begin to change for the better, but right now I just feel numb. Also, as selfish as it sounds, I know that by ending this relationship I will end up being single for a long time, because it is extremely rare for a girl to take an interest in me.
Two months isn't really that long to get to know somebody, although a click is a very important thing to have, especially in the beginning of a relationship.
How is she acting around you? Is this a confirmed relationship or are you still just seeing each other on a casual basis? Does she seem into you?
And with the sex side of things, what exactly do you like that is different? Is there anyway she would try the things you want to do? Have you tried discussing it with her?
>>16916410
You're not going to click with everybody you meet but this is probably the reason you don't end up in a relationship with everybody you meet. How did things end with your ex-gf and how long ago did they end? It may be that you still have feelings for her and you're not ready to be in another relationship. Also, would you mind me asking how old you are now? Your attitude towards people tends to change as you get older. I feel a lot different about my current girlfriend to ones I had when I was younger because my priorities have changed.
Overall if you're not happy, there's no point in prolonging things. However, if things are just continuing nicely then you may want to hold out and see where they go.
>>16916432
Confirmed relationship. She's definitely into me which makes the idea of breaking up with her even more difficult. She acts fine around me but, we've had a few issues with communicating recently.
Well she doesn't like giving BJ's all that much (and her technique is bad) and dislikes my favorite sexual positions. I'm also slightly kinky/dirty, whereas she appears to be the opposite. It's a lot more restrictive than what I've had in the past.
>>16916504
She left me for someone else whilst spreading lies about me. It ended over a year ago. I do kinda but it was my first love. I'm 25.
Recently, when doing things or watching things, I feel less like I'm impressed and more like I'm envious.
And it's envy I feel towards things I can't change, like if someone did something their Junior year that I did my senior year, I think "Why didn't I do it my junior year?"
Things like that.
Why am I just becoming more and more of someone who can't accept the fact that there are some people better than me?

Got a link?
And the interesting thing is that I've seen myself start actually doing things now. Like, I haven't felt the drive to be something more than I already have in such a long time...
And here it finally is.
http://www.icefilms.info/ip.php?v=106845&
I little over a year ago I had a class with this girl, I developed a crush halfway into the semester. Some of my friends noticed her and they told me to ask her out because they thought that she was into me, but because of my low self-esteem I didn't really believe it. I tried to do it, but I choked super hard. I never got her contact info.
A couple of days ago I bumped into her and got her number. I feel like a got another shot at this, but I'm nervous as shit. I suck at texting and I noticed that she rarely look at her phone. I asked a friend who's much better at this stuff than me and he told me to just cal her.
How do I muster up the courage to do this? She's way out of my league.
Jerk off.
Right when you're edging, call her.
You'll have the courage of 1000 men.
>>16916438
How?
>>16916443
How what?
guys, im genuinely scared of my brother, i get paranoid, as we speak i feel like he'll know im writing this. it's like as if his insanity leaked to me and im developing it.
i have no where to go, no one to rely on, i can't just move out, and he can't go back, what do i do, im just on the verge. i haven't left my room at all.
>>16916326
>i haven't left my room at all.
I knew that already.
>>16916326
Did he do something out of The ordinary? Does he spy on you?
>>16916360
he's not ordinary, but today is super bad, he talks about murdering my family and stuff, and buying weapons
but that isn't alone, ive been paranoid for ages, but today made me breakdown
What are some things I could do to try and turn casual friendships into close ones? I feel like I have not made any "real" friends in a long time, and being that I'm graduating college soon I kind of want to make some more close friends while moving forward. I know most people will say closeness comes with time and experience, and you're right, but I feel like I will never have the same amount of time to bond with people as I did with my best friends in high school and my childhood(who are still my best friends now). In high school you were around people 5 days a week and had all the time in the world to hang out together, but now I feel like no one has that time anymore to really, genuinely bond with another person.
I guess what I'm asking more precisely is how do you make up for lack of time and experience with someone in trying to form a better friendship?
>>16916308
pls respond
Kinda same. Bump
I'm absolutely crazy about a guy, like I can't eat or sleep or think about anything else. It's been like this for damn near a year
How do I regain my sanity? He doesn't feel the same way
I'm male but I know how this feels.
The best thing is to talk to him as much as you can and you'll become less and less interested.
>>16916334
We talk every day and have done so for years, he's the most interesting person in the world.
>>16916340
Anon, why can you never be with this person?
A quick question. What does it mean when a guy says he sees you as a sister? It's pretty obvious to me but I just want to be sure.
I'll also ask what does it mean when a guy constantly mentions his girlfriend to you?
You're being friendzoned.
>>16916301
How do I save my honor from this embarrassing situation? Do I just disappear without saying anything? A rejected woman is 100 times worse than a rejected man and I don't want to make him feel important and I'm scared that he tells everyone that I wanted him and he friendzoned me.
So how do I disappear without him thinking stuff? I never confessed myself to him by the way but he still said stuff like this and I feel humilliated.
>>16916315
Here's an idea.
Get a dude to stand in as your boyfriend and ask the guy and his girlfriend out on a double date. That will communicate that you feel the same way about him without saying it directly. If he and his girlfriend happen to accept, cancel and lie about some shit that came up. Don't reschedule.
>meet qt grill in uni class
>we talk a lot this quarter, become decent friends
>I start to catch feelings for her
>pretty sure I made it obvious; asked her to my club sport formal, but she couldnt go. It was something she 100% could not get out of and she apologized a LOT
>pretty sure shes into me too
BUT
>2 months ago she flew to a MALE friend's university to go to his formal
>hes flying in today to go to a concert with her
>MAJOR FUCKING RED FLAGS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
what do you lads think? I wanted to date this grill but this shit makes me uncomfortable. She says they are "just really good friends"....
bump
You dont have any pull on her.
Just kill youself and save us from reading your threads as you spiral into depression.

How do you mean?

Howdy, first time poster.
So I'm dating this guy, we've been together since December 25, 2015. He's great; we both love each other, we enjoy talking to each other (I should also note this is a LDR), and we've been enjoying things. The only issue is, though, he has to leave for college in Germany on May 27th, and that's when we'll break up. We both agreed on breaking up when he goes, since we don't want a LDR that has such a small chance of actually meeting up (we're about a four hour drive apart as of now).
So that's been at the back of our minds for a month or two now, ever since he told me. Lately, however, he hasn't had much time to spend with me, since he's been busy lately. School, work (Friday 16:30-23:30, Saturday 11:00-23:30, and Sunday 15:00-23:00), and his parents dragging him along to do suburban white folk shit. And all of this has left him with very little time for himself, but also little time to spend with me on Skype or Rabbit.
Now, I'm faced with a dilemma: should I wait until May to break it off with him, or should I do it early and start looking for someone else?
>>16916272
Dead relationships (relationships with a set end date) should all have a built-in clause that you are free to break it off at any time should you find a better relationship, on the condition of immediate notice to the other party.
There's zero point in passing up on a good potential relationship in order to keep a dead relationship staggering on for a few more weeks.
>>16916272
I forgot to mention, howdy faggot, go fuck yourself you little whiny bitch, thank you for posting.
Alright, so my next door neighbor has this massive great dane who they leave outside all day long and even at night sometimes. The fucker barks SO loudly constantly. The dog barks at anything and nothing all at once, my bedroom window is parallel to their backyard fence and this shit drives me fucking nuts and I cant have my window open for fresh air. This has gone on for a year or more, probably more. I just cant stand this shit anymore and I want to call animal control.
What I want to know is, will they be able to do something?
Do I need video documentation of the dog barking for evidence?
How do I go about this?
(I like dogs, I even have one but it doesnt fucking bark nonstop for no reason. I am just really so tired of this. I dont hear any other dogs in the neighborhood barking except this massive fucking great dane.)
>>16916197
what I want to know is, why aren't you asking animal control these questions? are you afraid that as soon as they pick up the phone and you say "hi I got a problem with the neighbour's dog" they're gonna drive over there and taze it to death?
just call them, explain the situation, tell them you don't want for anything bad to happen to the dog but you want to know what your options are.
or you can just call the police. if there's a noise ordinance in your town they can write your neighbour a ticket or at least let them know to keep it down.
just thought of something else too. if you get the cops involved, but the dog doesn't get taken away, the barking might stop for a while but then start back up again because some people are just ignorant fucks.
if that happens and you find yourself calling more than a couple times, consider getting some of the other neighbours involved too. they're probably as sick of it as you are, and if there are multiple people complaining about the same person, it carries a lot more weight and it doesn't look like one person just bitching to make trouble for someone else.
I had a similar problem last summer: neighbors left their dog chained to a tree and it would bark incessantly, only for the owner to open the door and scream "Shut up!"
I called county animal control and left a message explaining the situation, including the owner's address. The next day a town cop pulled up, listened to the dog for awhile, then talked to the owner. Haven't had a problem since.
Just call your local animal control office and pray.
Hello,
So I've started to find myself over the years as "unlikable." I've never been called this by anyone but I've kind of given myself that title. I have plenty of friends but yet I still feel lonely and uncared about by anyone who isn't my closest family. The friends I have I only talk to inside of school so when I go home I resort to playing video games, watching anime and the other nerdy internet personality stuff.
I've tried/still try to talk to my friends outside of school and hang out with them but they usually put me off for other friends or something along those lines, making me feel like an acquaintance over anything else.
When I try to make close friends online by joining a forum or finding them other ways I make a few but eventually (more than often) lose contact with them about a month after meeting them while they are still very close friends with other people I know from the same places.
With girls, sometimes I look at myself as creepy in a way and I think they think the same most of the time. Don't get me wrong, I've had some serious relationships in the past and don't really have a problem with talking to girls or anyone else but as mentioned below I can be pretty stale after a while and sometimes I fuck up and say/do things that aren't very normal for a social interaction.
After thinking about it myself for a while I'm pretty sure it's because I have a sort of bland personality that gets boring after a while (Because I have a pretty boring and lazy life in most people's eyes and have nothing to talk about past the average everyday shit) and I can be very awkward and shy and nervous at times. I also try to be very likable, which results in the opposite of what it's intended to. Long story short, what's the right way to go about being a generally likable person?
Thanks in advance~!
P.S. I'm not looking for satisfaction from others, I'd just prefer to not feel lonely anymore and always have friends there for me and be able to make a great first impression on others without a problem.
>>16916194
Just be yourself. Take a deep breath.
>>16916883
I mean I am myself. But that doesn't fix me feeling lonely.
After my ex-girlfriend dumped me I've found it incredibly difficult to take the initiative and move things forward with women, even if the date went well. Should I take this to mean I'm not ready to get back into the dating scene? It kind of feels that way.
How long has it been since the breakup?
>>16916227
11 months
I posted on here yesterday about my bf complaining I don't show him affection or whatever. Today I went to see him and he broke up with me. I suck at relationships and guys just enjoy using me. Now I feel like shit. It took a lot of strength for me not to jump in front of a train on my way home. Not sure what to do now...
>>16916170
Learn from this.
>>16916170
Sorry to hear about it. It's my fear that my current bf will break up with me for the same reasons.
But fuck them clingy emotional bastards. You'll find one better
>>16916170
It is the nature of all relationships to end. To have expected anything else was to have expected nature not to occur. You wanted an impossible outcome, and now you must accept the fact that only things that are actually possible ever happen to you.
Fortunately, you'll find fortitude in this experience, and wisdom too, and you will not be so surprised next time, nor so devastated.
How do you deal with breaking up with somebody because you know you're not good for them? Hard mode: I don't have any friends to talk to, or to have distract me
This happened to me today. My bf dumped me because he said I could do better and he has to fix his life and stuff. It made me really sad and upset.
>>16916151
do you mean get over the break up? go out and make friends.
>BUT HOW
hobby shops. meetup.com. taking a 'fun' community college class. etc.
if you mean how to break up with them
>havea friend (err... family member) drive you over to her place
>go inside and say you only have 15 minutes to talk cuz you got an important XX event going on that you have to get to
>explain that you are breaking up with her, this is why, its no hard feelings but it wont work
>she will ask follow up questions, and try to argue you into staying with her
>DO NOT ENGAGE
>simply repeat the same thing, say you dont ant to argue about it, as your feelings are what they are
>leave her with ice cream and/or a token of your relationship, a keepsake if she chooses to keep (or perhaps destroy)
>15 minutes your friend (err... family member) comkes in and extracts you
boom.
>>16916184
Ordinarily I would say it just sounds like an excuse, but can confirm it feels really fucking shitty to know you're bringing somebody else down.
>>16916187
The former, and thanks. I'm socially awkward but I suppose I'll never get anywhere if I don't try fix that.
I'm a guy. How do I convince other guys to "experiment" with me?
>>16916091
>find gay men
>ask for cock
It's just that easy.
>>16916091
Go to gay bars or something?
>>16916091
its eaiser to find gay guys and just experiment with them.
if you are only interested in experimenting with straight men its pretty difficult.
if its someone you know you essentially have to seduce them. begin by initiating closer contact then you are used to. invinte them to do increasingly 'manly' yet homo erotic things. spontaneous wrestling. nude spas. skinny dipping. getting really drunk with just the two of you and then cuddling on the couch.
but theres no guarantee so you always risk that person being weirded out, the dynamic changing, etc.
if looking for straight guys you dont know to experiment, your only option is really to just use the gay resources (grindr, craigslist, etc) and go around asking if anyones new to this and wants to dip the toes in with you. but 99% of the guys who claim to be straight or just bi curious on there are actually hardcore faggots who roleplay as being straight for their own security / fetish
